I've been giving my husband 2 TBLS of coconut oil n his oatmeal every morning for a couple of years. While I haven't noticed an improvement, it does seem to me that he doesn't do as well when he's off of it for awhile when we are traveling.

Ye, it does not heal them, but it truly slows down the disease. I started this about five months ago, and she has not worsened. Don't bet on healing though - I do not think it is a cure, but it does slow it down. You do have to use dollops of it though - as a creamer in teas, and coffees etc, and in the cereal and foods. Small amounts won't help.

I have been giving my husband 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for the past 5 months. There has been a remarkable improvement and I will continue with it. As we were on holiday for 3 weeks recently, I skipped using it and his mind showed a marked relapse. It can do no harm. It has no taste and it makes his oats nice and creamy.

I have bought it but have not used it as regular as you. I will try using it in Mom's oatmeal from now on. Thanks for the idea.
