How a Doctor Reversed Her Husband’s Alzheimer’s Disease in 37 Days

New breakthrough improves memory… restores lost brain function … and even

revives dying cells!

by Shallenberger, MD

If you’ve ever known anyone with Alzheimer’s disease, you know how

heart-breaking it can be. Not only does it destroy a person’s mental abilities

and dignity … but it wipes out the person’s very personality, leaving behind

a mere shell of a human being. The body is there for you to see, but the person

you know and love no longer exists.

That’s exactly what happened to my colleague Dr. Newport and her husband

Steve. As describes it, “I was watching my husband of 36 years fade

away.â€

Things didn’t start out that way, of course. For most of Steve’s life, he

was known for his quick wit and sharp mind. He could do complicated math in his

head … take apart computers and repair them … fix practically anything else

without instruction. If he didn’t have a tool to do something he would

“invent†one and make a usable prototype. He was also a voracious reader.

And he loved kayaking, cooking, landscaping, and caring for his two daughters.

Indeed, on the day the couples’ first daughter was born, Steve left his

corporate job as an accountant so he could work from home. He took over as

manager of ’s medical practice, handing all the accounting and

administrative tasks. The practice grew by leaps and bounds.

Tragedy Strikes

But then Steve’s memory started failing him. At first, it was little things,

like misplacing his keys and forgetting appointments. But then the lapses became

more serious. He started making errors with the accounting and payroll.

Forgetting whether had had made the bank deposits. Missing tax deadlines.

A psychiatrist diagnosed him as having depression, and put him on antidepressant

drugs and psychological counseling. But of course, that didn’t help. Steve’s

memory continued to get worse. He started getting lost while trying to drive

home. He couldn’t even remember how to turn on the car’s windshield wiper.

By now it was clear that Steve had dementia. wrote in her journal: “It

has been a nightmare to watch his decline. Every night, we hold each other

before we go to sleep and I wonder how many more times we will get to do

this.â€

took Steve to a neurologist, who put him on the drugs Aricept, Namenda, and

Exelon. But still, Steve continued to worsen. He’d spend his days walking

around the house confused, wearing only one shoe. He couldn’t remember how to

use a spoon or how to get water out of the refrigerator. At a family reunion, he

no longer recognized close relatives. He even forgot that he had fathered his

oldest daughter.

did everything she could for Steve. She cooked for him, gave him his

medications, helped him get dressed.

She also tried to enroll him in studies on new experimental drugs. But Steve

scored so low on the mental exam that he didn’t qualify for the studies.

When Steve took the Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSR), he scored a 14 out of 30,

which indicates severe dementia. And when he took a test where he was asked to

draw a clock from memory, this is what he drew:

And that’s not all. When Steve took a genetic test for Alzheimer’s, he

tested positive for the leading Alzheimer’s gene. And when he had an MRI of

his brain, the MRI found a shrinking of the hippocampus and damage to his

frontal and parietal lobes.

Still, there were brief moments when the old Steve would make a brief

appearance. Sometimes he’d be able to hold a coherent conversation. Sometimes,

he would even say something clever or crack a joke. One day, asked if a

certain phone call came and he said “no.†Two days later, he remembered the

call and what the caller said.

In ’s words, it was “Strange to have no short-term memory and yet the

information was filed somewhere in his brain. I knew he was locked up in there

somewhere, if only there was a key to open up the areas of his brain that he

didn’t have access to.â€

Little did know that she would soon find that very key.

One day, came across research on an experimental drug called Ketasyn. She

learned that in a study of Alzheimer’s patients, this drug brought about

improvement in half the people who took it.

was astonished by these findings. As she put it, “Most drugs talk about

slowing the progression of the disease, but you never hear the word

‘improvement.’ Right then I knew I had to find out more.â€

did research on the internet and came across a patent application for the

drug. The application included a description of how the drug works and a list of

the drug’s ingredients. Much to ’s surprise, the main ingredient of the

drug was medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), derived from coconuts.

Could the solution to Alzheimer’s be as simple as taking MCT oils?

decided she had nothing to lose. She went to the health food store and bought

some coconut oil. The next morning, she mixed it in Steve’s oatmeal and fed it

to him. She then drove him to an appointment where he was scheduled to re-take

the MMSR exam.

As soon as they got to the appointment, Steve was whisked away to the exam room.

When he came back, Steve told that he was unhappy with his performance. So

pulled aside the research coordinator and asked how Steve did. The

coordinator looked at and said “Didn’t he tell you? He scored an 18!â€

The last time Steve had taken the test, he’d scored a 14 out of 30. Yet here

he was scoring an 18. That’s an improvement of 28%.

But that’s not all. Within a few days, Steve told that he felt the

“light switch came back on†and the “fog lifted.†Could this dramatic

improvement be due to the coconut oil?

Amazingly , the answer is “yes.†And here’s why …

How It Works

Coconut oil and other MCTs increase your body’s production of compounds called

ketones. You may have heard of ketones if you’ve ever been on the Atkins diet.

Quite simply, ketones are compounds that are created when body fat is broken

down for energy.

When your body is starved of carbs, it starts burning your fat stores to create

energy. That’s why people on low-carb diets lose weight. It’s also why

people on low-carb diets produce more ketones.

Why is this important? Well, it turns out that ketones are a powerful fuel for

the brain. Especially when the brain is injured or impaired.

For example, scientists have known for years that one of the best ways to stop

seizures is to put a patient on a low-carb, high-fat diet. Normally, brain cells

prefer to get their fuel from glucose. But impaired brain cells, such as cells

that are causing seizures, cannot metabolize glucose well. They need another

source of fuel. And that source is ketones.

didn’t know this at the time, but there are over 20 different studies on

the effect of ketones on the brain. These studies are published in obscure

journals that most doctors don’t read. Nonetheless, the findings of the

studies are important:

• One study found that when the brain uses ketones, it produces 25% more

energy than when it uses glucose.

• Another study found that a ketone-producing diet results in a 39% increase

in blood flow to the brain.

• And still another study found that mice put on a ketone-producing diet had

fewer brain plaques than mice fed a standard diet.

I’ve been researching ketones for years, and I’ve been using them in my own

medical practice. Whenever I put my Alzhiemer’s patients on a ketone-producing

diet, they always improve. However, the improvement is usually modest.

It wasn’t until I spoke to that I realized I could get a much stronger

effect by giving my patients MCT oils. You see, it turns out that when you add

MCT oils to a low-carb diet, the body is absolutely flooded with ketones. This

results in an amazing improvement in brain function.

Back to our story ...

continued to feed Steve coconut oil, and he continued to improve. Two weeks

after Steve began taking coconut oil, asked him to draw another clock. This

is what he drew:

And about three weeks after that (on Day 37), she asked him to draw a clock

again. He drew this:

But that’s not all. Just two months after Steve began taking coconut oil,

wrote the following:

“It has been 60 days since he started taking coconut oil. He walks into the

kitchen every morning alert and happy, talkative, making jokes. His gait (his

ability to walk with coordination) is still a little weird. His tremor is no

longer very noticeable. He is able to concentrate on things that he wants to do

around the house and in the yard and stay on task, whereas before coconut oil he

was easily distracted and rarely accomplished anything unless I supervised him

directly.â€

I spoke to Dr. Newport just recently. Not only is Steve’s gait totally

back to normal, but he now jogs daily! His tremor is completely gone. And he has

also gone back to being an avid reader. He recently relayed the details of two

articles he read in Scientific American.

His memory is also dramatically improved. He often brings up events that

happened days or weeks earlier.

He recognizes his relatives again and has conversations with them. He is back to

doing the yard work at the house. And he has started doing volunteer work at the

local hospital.

and I are convinced that these changes are due to the coconut oil. Why?

Because any time Steve misses a dose, his Alzheimer’s symptoms immediately

start to return.

According to , Steve missed getting his morning oil on two occasions: once

because he had a fasting blood test and the other time because he was

travelling. In both instances, he became dazed and confused, with full-blown

tremors. And in both instances, he got back to normal after taking the coconut

oil.

Can coconut oil work for you or a loved one? The odds are good that it can. Not

everyone will benefit to the same degree that Steve did. But I will tell you

this: In my experience there will always be some degree of improvement.

 

 

That’s why I want to send you a new special report I wrote. The report is

called How to Reverse Alzheimer’s Disease. And it gives you complete

instructions on how to use MCT oils to treat Alzheimer’s Disease and other

brain illnesses.

You’ll find out what types of oil work best, how much to take, and in what

combination. You’ll find out how to monitor your ketone levels using a simple

do-it yourself test you can do at home. And you’ll learn about how MCT oils

can be used to treat Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple sclerosis,

Lou Gehrig’s disease, and more.

The information in this report is priceless. But you can get a copy of the

report absolutely free. How? By trying a no-risk trial subscription to my new

health advisory, REAL CURES.

Every month in REAL CURES, I give you the low-down on the latest discoveries in

health and wellness. I tell you what works and what’s a lot of baloney ... and

I give you a clear plan of action to take for a long, healthy life

[Guest guest]

Sorry it took so long to read this , I can get so far behind.

Yes, this would indicate that vco/mct oil provides energy for the cells only,

and isn't a cure. The only questions left, are how long will this last before

the damage becomes too extensive or is it possible that keeping the cells active

will stop or at least slow the damage?

I still doubt the latter and believe that a point will come where even MCT won't

help. But if it improves quality of life for any length of time, it makes it

worth its weight in gold for those suffering with dementia.
