Dr. Mary Newport discovered a new way to use coconut oil to fight Alzheimer’s disease. According to her theory, ketones that the body produces when consuming coconut oil may serve as an alternative energy source for the brain.
If her theory is correct, this could represent one of the greatest discoveries in natural medicine in the past decade. Coconut oil could significantly help and even cure people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders.
The story of Dr. Newport and her husband
Dr. Newport has her own personal experience with Alzheimer’s disease. Her husband, Steve, suffered from progressive dementia for more than 5 years. After an MRI examination he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
“Many days, often several in a row, he was as if in a mental fog. He couldn’t find a teaspoon or pick a bottle of water from the refrigerator,” describes Dr. Newport. This experience led her to suspect that his condition had something to do with his diet.
Steve was taking drugs to slow the progression of the disease, but their side effects had a negative impact on him – he began to lose weight and forgot routine tasks. Fortunately, she decided to find an alternative solution.
The discovery of ketones and their effect on the brain
Dr. Newport began to look into research showing that medium-chain triglycerides (ketones) can not only slow but even treat Alzheimer’s disease. These ketones are also considered a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders.
“Ketones help the brain recover after loss of oxygen and neuronal death. They can also support the heart’s regeneration after a heart attack or even shrink tumors in cancer,” explains Dr. Newport.
In the case of Alzheimer’s disease, the problem is that some neurons in the brain cannot take up glucose, which leads to their death. However, if they have access to ketones, they can survive and continue to function.
Results after 60 days with coconut oil
Dr. Newport decided to start giving her husband coconut oil every day. After 60 days she observed significant improvement. Steve was more alert, happier and his ability to concentrate on tasks improved.
“He started joking and the tremor that appeared in him was less pronounced. He was able to focus more on one thing without being distracted,” says Dr. Newport.
Steve consumed 2 tablespoons of coconut oil twice a day, which ensured that ketones were available in his body throughout the day. After a year of regular natural treatment, Dr. Newport’s husband was literally a different person. Although he still occasionally forgets some words, he began to participate in family conversations and his facial expressiveness improved.
What Dr. Newport says about the results
“If coconut oil really slowed and stopped the progression of my husband’s disease, every drop was certainly worthwhile,” concludes Dr. Newport.
