I drink whey protien shakes, and added coconut milk instead of water to the chocolate flavor and it turned out really thick like a fast food shake. I don't know if coconut milk has any benefits like coconut oil.

I cook with the oil, it's great for Thai food, like curry. I use it as a wonderful face soother also. I mix in a little virgin olive oil to make it more spreadable. I bought mine online, but can't remember where, it's been a while. It is in the news more often now. It is also supposed to help break down "brown fat", the kind that collects around your organs and causes disease.

I use the Wal Mart brand, and it has worked. I let it melt in his soup, use it in cereal, fry with it, and will try the smoothie. My husband has Parkinson w/dementia, mask like face. After the first day he woke up, smiled ( unusual) raised his eyebrows, Really unusual , and talked in a normal voice. I'm trying to get the right dosage. But for him, a remarkable improvement! He even said he wanted to start going places with me, and he felt better.

Default Coconut Oil

I use coconut oil in my homemade breakfast bars, I put it on toast (sometimes w/peanut butter), salads, cooked rice cereal, cooking and just plain eating off the spoon. I like the flavor and smell of it. I good source is Tropical Traditions or the local health foods store. It may seem a little pricey, but the benefits. . . . . , its all preventive. My first husband recently died of Alzheimer's and my two children are in line to get it as it is hereditary.

Please Goggle Dr. Newport Coconut Oil and watch the testimonies. There are/were 5 or 6 videosand are informative. It does take time to watch them to the end, but if one is concerned about dementia, etc., it is time well invested. Her husband has early stage, as I recall, she is a pediatric doctor who attempted to get her husband into two drug tests. The interviews to get into the studies were two days in a row and you will see the improvement in her husband after 2T of coconut oil. Check out the clock test to see the improvement. She also speaks of his continued improvement.

Someone mentioned Dr. Oz. One of his guests (4x) Dr. Mercola, has been on recently and I suggest you look at his website. He really tells us the truth. However, keep in mind that he is also sells. Recently, he has started speaking about the benefits of Vit. K2purported to be as necessary at Vit. D3. Site: www.Mercola.com. Check out his newsletter.

If anyone is interested in my recipe for the breakfast bars, I will post it. Hope I haven't been too words. Sorry.

Forgot this important item. Dementia and Alzheimer's patients all have high levels of aluminum in their systems. Where did this aluminum come from? Here is a short list: aluminum beer and soda cans, baking soda, baking powder, pots and pans, deoderant, underwire bras, cookie sheets, collanders, egg poachers, cooking utensils.

Use bottled beer and soda, aluminum-free baking soda/powder from the health foods store, stainless pans, (I recently purchased new stainless inserts for my egg poacher), Mennens has a women's deoderant (sorry men) called Crystal Clean, use parchment paper on cookie sheets and to line cake pans, stainless utensils.

We are all in charge of the health of our families and ourselves. We must do what we can to live in health. Okay, now I'm done.

But I suppose it couldn't hurt. I hate to see people getting false hopes though.
I agree with this post. CBN is not noted for being impartial. I guess it wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't use it as my only therapy or discontinue any medical therapy based on this item. I sure hope he is exercising as the calories in coconut oil are lots!

I have been cooking with coconut oil for about 3 yrs now. I fry all fried food with it. I buy the Louann brand at wal mart. My daughter use to buy it in 50 lb can and so she bought me some. I use about 2 lb a month. It may be expensive, but it is worth it. the louAnn from walmart is $5.48 for 2 lb jar.
