Dr Mary Newport and Alzheimers’: Latest shocking report.
May 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As you know I suffer from early onset Alzheimers’ and thanks to an amazing lady, Dr Mary Newport, I am in ‘holding pattern’ because I took her advice of a daily large dose of coconut oil and MCT oil. She discovered coco oil after an amazing amount of research when her own husband, Steve, had Alzheimers’ far worse than me.
Dr Newport is a doctor – a professional with many years of hospital service behind her.
So this post on the treatment of and effects on Steve by her local hospital is all the more shocking. As a doctor she may feel some loyalty to her fellow practitioners, but to an outsider it looks like pure malpractice.
One more reason I never want to see the inside of a hospital.
Here’s her article and here’s my video about my experience. And if you have anyone suffering either as a carer or a victim, send them Dr Newport’s book. It’s an excellent resource with what I believe to be proof of the effects of coconut oil on Alzheimers’ symptoms.
What is your brain made of?
April 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Over 50% of your brain is made of GOOD FAT.
Twenty percent of this good fat comes from EPA and DHA.
EPA and DHA can be accessed through:
* omega-3 fatty acids
* eating fish
* borage oil
* primrose oil
* parilla oil
Essential fatty acids provide the chemical molecules to make Phospholipids. These phospholipids gather together to form a protective barrier around each cell in your body. If the fatty acids are in phospholipid form, your body is able to use them quicker and more efficiently.
If you’re deficient in the essential fatty acids, we are told that you will be more susceptible to these conditions:
* Alzheimer’s disease
* Anxiety and body stress
* Heart disease
* Attention deficit disorder
* Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
* Bipolar disorder
* Chronic fatigue syndrome
* Depression
* Learning disorders
* Memory impairment
* Parkinson’s disease
* Schizophrenia
Alzheimer’s
Doctors believe that if we all lived to be over 120 years, they would come down with Alzheimer’s disease. It is a disease that we all accept that once you have it, all you can do, is to slow its progression using certain drugs and nutrients. Before your brain starts to deteriorate to where it contains nodules of toxins, excess oxidation due to free radicals, and weaken and narrowing blood vessels, it might be a good idea to start feeding it the food it needs. As you already know, I’m feeding my brain daily with coconut oil and MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) Oil, and I’m drinking alkaline water to campaign against ongoing inflammation and oxidation, and I have my green drink every day.
DHA is in order for Alzheimer’s disease. With DHA deficiency in your diet, you can expect to have memory loss – and become depressed as you age.
Lecithin is also worthwhile. It helps to provide choline, a precursor to the memory neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It also provides the chemicals to produce RNA.
Heart disease is closely related to Alzheimer’s because the heart must be strong enough to pump plenty of blood into the brain and the arteries must open enough to circulate enough blood through the brain and throughout your body. Obviously a calcium-cholesterol constricted circulatory system is going to be a problem.
Even if you don’t succumb to Alzheimer’s or your family history doesn’t demonstrate it, most of us are in line for dementia. Dementia is also attributed to deterioration of brain cells and support tissue. One of the causes of dementia is a diet that has been deficient in the essential fatty acids.
Here is my own regimen for supplementing with the essential fatty acids:
* I eat more good fish, at least once a week and occasionally twice a week
* I eat up to 6 tablespoons of coc oil a day, plus three tablespoons of MCT Oil.
* I use olive oil on my salads.
* I eat meat. Plenty of meat, eggs, fish as I mentioned and occasional chicken: all grass fed (except the fish)
I understand that this may conflict with some people’s concepts of good diet, but believe me, it’s working for me. To learn more about my diet I’d suggest popping over to Cassie’s Alkaline Paleo Diet blog here

Our video about my fight with Alzheimers continues to grow in viewership. 70,962 people have seen it. Here’s the sort of comment on the video page that I love.
“My uncle was diagnosed with moderate Alzheimers and was charged with assault against my sister! I found out about Virgin Coconut Oil and he has regained his memory totally! A miracle indeed!”
Alzheimers’ Questionnaire: Take it if you dare.
February 8, 2012 By 1 Comment
I found this on an email sent to me recently. I don’t guarantee the results but it looks pretty good to me.
The Questionnaire
1. Does your loved one have memory loss?
Yes (1)/No (0)
2. If ‘Yes’, is their memory worse than a few years ago?
Yes (1)/No (0)
3. Do they repeat questions, statements or stories in the same day?
Yes (2)/No (0)
4. Have you had to take over tracking events or appointments, or does your loved one forget appointments?
Yes (1)/No (0)
5. Do they misplace items more than once a month?
Yes (1)/No (0)
6. Do they suspect others of hiding or stealing items when they cannot find them?
Yes (1)/No (0)
7. Does your loved one frequently have trouble knowing the day, date, month, year and time; or check the date more than once a day?
Yes (2)/No (0)
8. Do they become disorientated in unfamiliar places?
Yes (1)/No (0)
9. Do they become more confused when not at home or when travelling?
Yes (1)/No (0)
10. Excluding physical limitations, do they have trouble handling money such as when calculating change?
Yes (1)/No (0)
11. Do they have trouble paying bills or doing finances?

Yes (1)/No (0)
16. Excluding physical limitations, have they given up or cut down on doing hobbies such as, playing golf, dancing, exercising or crafts?
Yes (1)/No (0)
17. Are they getting lost in familiar surroundings, such as their own neighbourhood?
Yes (2)/No (0)
18. Is their sense of direction failing?
Yes (1)/No (0)
19. Do they have trouble finding words other than names?
Yes (1)/No (0)
20. Do they confuse names of family members or friends?
Yes (2)/No (0)
21. Do they have trouble recognising familiar people?
Yes (2)/No (0)
Once the questionnaire is completed, you calculate the score. Someone who scores under five is advised that there is no cause for concern. A score of five to 14 suggests mild cognitive impairment – or memory lapses that could be the early stages of Alzheimer’s. A score higher than 14, possibly indicates that the person may already have AD.
Writing in the journal BMC Geriatrics, researcher Michael Malek-Ahmadi stressed that it is up to doctors rather than patients to interpret the results of the test. However, he advised that anyone who scores five or above should seek expert help.
I scored four. Before I began my Coconut Oil smoothie I was scoring around double that. I didn’t have full-blown Azs. but I was having problems that made us both accept that I had incipient Az. Significantly, it became much worse when I was overseas for 6 months last year and had no access to the coco oil.
Check our story here.
And.. we have ordered Dr Mary Newport’s excellent book on Alz. called “Alzheimers’ Disease – What if there was a cure” Let me know if you’d like a copy. No prices available yet but it’s a labour of love so we’ll keep it down.
Cholesterol, Saturated Fats, Heart Disease.. the tide is turning… and an opportunity.
January 24, 2012 By 2 Comments
Another excellent little video summing up to massive con-job that cholesterol and saturated fats is!
Which brings me to the question… as you know, I have 6 tablespoons of coconut oil every day to keep me from slipping back into my incipient Alzheimers’. I’m wondering if there are others in readerland who might be interested in a group where members participate in bulk purchase of coco oil. I have the green light from the world’s best producers of organic coconut oil, and they offer 4l pails, which are far more economical than the 1L bottles. If I hear from you, I’ll consider it, but if not, that’s OK too because I already get my ‘good oil’ wholesale.
Oh yes, here’s the video that people are raving about; Cassie and I discussing my Alzheimers’.
It’sgone viral on YouTube

Give your Coconut Oil Bottles A New Lease of Life
January 12, 2012 By 1 Comment
With my rather large scale consumption of coco oil for my incipient Alzheimers, we have a whole rack in the garage full of those wonderful glass mason jars it comes in. Too good to throw away, too many to keep. Now these young designers have come up with a way to convert your used coco jars into what our US friends call ‘sippy mugs’.
Here’s the product. What do you think?And here’s the page with more details if you are really, really keen.

As you know, I’m on a daily dosage of coconut oil and MCT oil to alleviate my incipient Alzheimers’. It works wonderfully for me.
Here’s the good oil
Oxidative Stress = rust=Inflammation = acidification = ageing =

This article in Science To
day suggests a new precursor cause for Alzheimers’. It’s a term that’s becoming very common on this blog because as the heading suggests, it’s once again related to a healthy acid/alkaline balance. Oxidation is what happens when we are too acidic, and oxidative stress is the effect of oxidation.
day suggests a new precursor cause for Alzheimers’. It’s a term that’s becoming very common on this blog because as the heading suggests, it’s once again related to a healthy acid/alkaline balance. Oxidation is what happens when we are too acidic, and oxidative stress is the effect of oxidation.
These scientists have pinpointed the idea that oxidative stress, which occurs in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, may modify molecules in the brain, resulting in loss or alteration of their function.
Now.. I’m not in the least bit qualified to relate an alkaline lifestyle to reduced Alzheimers’ risk, but seeing acidification pop up again and gain as the culprit in so many deteriorative ‘Boomer’ health conditions does assure me that I’m on the right track personally in my Alkalarian lifestyle.
That and my own 3 times a day dose of coconut and MCT oil.
Water disinfection Byproducts: what does that mean?
November 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment
A good video has been uploaded to Natural news by Dr Len Saputo on the hazards of water disinfection byproducts. Worth a look.
And yes, in case you are wondering, he does recommend our products.. but his insight into disinfection byproducts we are all exposed to is worth a check.
