Hi All I have researched quite a bit about the many benefits of Coconut Oil. It is great for so many things, that you will be surprised when you read about it. People have been known to survive on just coconuts for many years as they are so nutritious. Coconut Oil will keep for approximately 2 years without refrigeration (without going rancid). Also.... Remember, Dr. Newport's husband was VERY far along in his disease when she started using Coconut Oil,.... and that he is now doing so well is in itself quite remarkable. There are varying forms of Alzheimer's and dementia, so all may not respond exactly the same. ***(See Dr. Newport's other videos below). It is a one of the few HEALTHY OILS...along with Olive Oil....and you need to read some of these articles below to understand WHY it is so beneficial to the body. Stay away from margarine and other liquid oils,like Corn Oil and Canola Oil, as they are made with GMO plants. Look below at the many OTHER BENEFITS if Coconut Oil...... worth the time reading....(did you know it was even good for your skin, hair, your pets, and Weight Loss, diabeties, and a multitude of other things.!!!) _***** LIST of Coconut Oil Health Benefits_ (http://www.coconutreat.com/prevention.htm) _Things You Probably Didn't Know About Coconut Oil/ article_ (http://www.coconutreat.com/drBruce_probablyDidntKnow.htm) _The Coconut Diet: How Coconut Oil is Changing People's Lives!_ (http://www.coconutdiet.com/index.htm) ***** (In the yellow column on the left, you will see the many other diseases that this oil helps ..ie, diabeties, heart conditions, thyroid, weight loss, for pets, for healthy skin and hair, etc. Check out those articles for lots of good information... ................................................................................... I will add a few more videos here regarding (early) Alzheimer's and dementia that some may want to check out at their leisure. It will never hurt anyone to take a little each day, and may do a world of good as a preventative. The woman doctor in the video that Jerry sent...(Dr. Newport)... ALSO did a 6 Part Video Series about her husband and her work with memory loss and Coconut Oil. It starts with this video (Part 1) below...and you can pick up the rest of the series from the right hand column of You Tube screen..... _PART 1- Dr. Newport's work on memory loss and Alzheimer's with coconut oil-_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iScs0uzQZFk&feature=related) (continue on with other parts on your own) Here are a few other videos of people speaking about their experiences on the same subject that you may want to look at. _Our story; Alzheimers' and Coconut Oil: Ian Blair Hamilton and Cassie Bond - Y_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMw3d3ohx_s&feature=related) _Bruce is overcoming dementia with the help of God and coconut oil - YouTube_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tpPUsh74YM&feature=related) _Bruce's Dementia Gone through coconut oil and prayer - YouTube_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLaAyzhumM4&feature=related) Note: You can see a lot of other 'You Tube' videos on this subject in the columns to the right of those above. *** By the way.... buy ONLY NATURAL or expeller or cold pressed Coconut Oil, ...nothing heat treated or chemically manufactured, or you lose all the good benefits from it. I buy 'Nature's Way' Organic, Extra Virgin Coconut oil from Wegman's (Rochester, NY) grocery HEALTH FOODS section. There are various sizes, prices, manufacturer's and ways of processing. OR you can buy on line from Swanson Vitamin's or Vitacost at discounted prices.....and lots of brands to choose from. ( I like to put it on raisin toast or whole wheat toast instead of butter. ) This is another manufacturer that has a short video about how it is made the original way and also sells other coconut products from the Philippines...but they are a bit expensive. _Coconut Oil: Tropical Traditions is America's Source for Coconut Oil!_ (http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/) I hope this helps...sorry it is so long. ....Ginny Moffett In a message dated 3/15/2012 9:09:17 P.M.
