Dr Oz had it on his show last week including how you could use it on your head and feet before taking a shower and get the benefits of it. Check out his site for more on it. He loves it on his oatmeal.

Local H.E.B. here in Texas sells the Lou Ana brand that Dr. Oz reccomends, it is only $5.59 31 and 1/2 oz. It has to be all natural . Here is their website: www.louana.com, I only hope that I can find it when I get back to CA. It is made in Brea, CA. You can use for lots of things,

I found the louana at Wallmart in the aisle where they sell all the vegetable oils. Hope this helps

Yes, I saw this article too. I noticed it at Trader Joe's on the shelf with their other oils.

Wonderful news, Ditter. I have "lost" a few friends because of this onset. Hopefully this news can be helpful to them and their families.

I also use it for body lotion! It is a solid in pure form and needs to be heated to melt... so I would add it to hot foods! Alzheimers runs in my family.... Hoping for a cure!

Swanson Vitamins, has the oil and it also has capsules that you can take. I am doing the capsules, can not get 4 T down.
www.swansonvitamins.com Great source for vitamins, organic shampoos etc. And I think great prices.

This is a recipe from Dr. Oz for a Microwave Cup Muffin that is suppose to give you 30 grams for protein in the morning.

1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 pkg. of sevia
1 egg
1/4 Milled Flax Seed

put in a LARGE coffee mug (will rise over the top - but not run over)
50 - 55 seconds in 1000 watt microwave

For those of you that this horrible disease "runs in the family" there are tests that can be done now, a test of the spinal fluid and a pet scan, that can detect whether or not a person has the potential for developing it. Your doctor can start treating long before the first symptoms present and by doing that can postpone the symptoms --- sometimes causing to never happen. I saw that on Dr. Oz about a year ago.
