Most doctors claim dementia is progressive and irreversible.
Yet Dr. Mary Newport’s discovery on coconut oil proves this wrong, which she documented in 288 real cases.
Her method on restoring cognitive abilities with this simple kitchen ingredient:
First, why Dr. Newport's credible:
She's a neonatologist (medical doctor) who tried an alternative approach when her husband couldn't qualify for Alzheimer's trials.
After giving him coconut oil, she saw signs of improvement immediately and shared this story to help other families.
When her story went viral, 288 families contacted her directly.
They had tried coconut oil with their loved ones and wanted to share their results.
As a doctor, she systematically collected and analyzed these reports between 2008-2014.
89% of them saw significant improvements..
Before I can explain why this works, you must understand what's happening with dementia:
It's NOT primarily a brain plaque issue - it's an ENERGY problem.
Your brain can't use glucose properly anymore, starving cells of energy and hurting cognitive function.
In dementia, glucose metabolism failure means:
↳ Cognitive function declines
↳ Daily functioning deteriorates
↳ Memory and recognition suffer
↳ Brain cells become energy-starved
How does coconut oil come in?
Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides that convert to ketones - alternative fuel that bypasses the glucose problem.
When brain cells can't use glucose properly, ketones provide a backup energy source that can still reach and fuel neurons.
It's one of the easiest things you can implement to see improvements immediately.
Unlike complex treatments or medications, coconut oil is simple, affordable, and available at any grocery store.
Here's how Dr Newport's families started:
Want to consider this approach?
• Discuss with your doctor first
• Start with coconut oil mixed into food
• Be patient - improvements varied from hours to months
• Next, add MCT oil which also showed to help
• Track any changes you observe
The bottom line: Coconut oil showed improvements in 89% of Newport's caregiver reports.
The approach is simple, coconut oil is safely consumed by over a billion people worldwide, and families reported meaningful changes.
Worth discussing with medical professionals.
This is why we've implemented keto diets at our assisted living homes.
We use healthy fats, like coconut oil, ghee and butter in our food as much as possible.
One thing we've also implemented is an advanced treatment called oxygen therapy with exercise which is proving to help reverse dementia.
Here’s how it works:
• Your brain is starved of energy from insulin resistance caused by years of sugar
• Oxygen therapy floods brain tissue with concentrated oxygen
• Dying brain cells heal and reconnect
This is why residents are getting their memory back
We’re now looking to raise funds to bring this treatment to all our residents.
$200,000 will covering their treatment sessions, daily transport and medical costs.
Every donation helps someone's grandparent reclaim their memories again.
I operate 4 assisted living homes in Phoenix, helping 40+ elderly residents reverse conditions doctors said were permanent.
We do this through targeted nutrition, daily movement, and advanced treatments.
Our goal is to get all of them healthy enough to return home.
I send out a short email a couple times a week to help people take charge of their own health and stay out of hospitals or nursing homes for their whole lives.
Old people don't have to move into an assisted living or nursing home. Some people accomplish amazing things even into their 8th, 9th or 10th decades of life.
Let's celebrate a few of them in this thread. Hopefully they will inspire you or your family members.🧵
Yuichuro Miura has been a mountaineer and skiier his whole life. In 1970 he was the first person to ski down Mount Everest.
Fast forward to 2013 when Mr Miura was 80. In that year he became the oldest person to climb to the summit of Everest.
Entrepreneur Ted Vallas started a California-based airline at age 91 in 2012. He was 97 when the airline finally achieved FAA certification and began to operate.
Unfortunately the airline suffered a lot of issues such as pilot shortages, delays and maintenance problems. It shut down shortly after it started but is still a testament to what you can do very late in life.
Just had a meeting with our mobile doc at our assisted living home. We have a resident that is complaining of a lot of dizziness and constipation.
So I put together a spreadsheet of their meds showing the usage, side effects and any considerations for stopping the medications.🧵
After discussing everything with his great doctor, out of his 11 medications we agreed on the resident eventually either stopping all of them or taking them ‘as needed’ (PRN in medical terms).
We also looked into problematic interactions between the meds.
This resident was previously dizzy to the point of passing out on a regular basis. He had gone to the hospital multiple times over the last couple of months to figure out what was going on.
A lot of these medications were prescribed at the hospital over all the visits.
(1/10) Although we work hard in our assisted living home to improve the health of our residents, we still have to work with people with cognitive decline on a daily basis.
Our caregivers have received a lot of training in this area. Some of the best training came from @amindforallseas CEO Eric Collett. Here is a summary of his program called the VITAL 5 Pillars.🧵 amindforallseasons.com
(2/10) Eric ran a large assisted living facility (100+ beds) and is an expert in working with people with dementia.
He believed we can do better, and so started his company @amindforallseas to do just that.
They are the company that helps us interpret lab results of our residents and set up a program to improve their cognitive abilities. amindforallseasons.com/enhance-protoc…
(3/10) VITAL is an acronym for 5 aspects of dementia care that really help. Our caregivers have been using them for several years now with great success.
