Curing Alzheimers With Diet

Although successful homeopathic treatment is not dependent on you eating right, on having good nutritious and species specific food in the way you were meant to eat it, this is obviously going to increase your chances of a long and healthy life.

There have been many debates over the healthy benefits, or lack of, between the use of butter or margarine. To be candid, I think the process of eating bread is questionable, let alone the spread.

The majority of bread sold is white. Taking the husk out of wheat renders the product much more indigestible than when it is left in. In effect, you have removed the key that makes bread digestible. No wonder celiac disease is becoming so common.

Even wholemeal bread is far from perfect. Wheat is an intensely farmed product - with the wide use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. In addition, to store wheat in a silo, highly toxic fumigators are used. The handlers of these need to be extremely careful, as a slip up can kill them.

And the bread hasn’t even started its life yet.

Needless to say, questionable ingredients are added to bread, some supposedly for your benefit and some for the manufacturer’s benefit.

Yet bread is considered a staple food. It may have been once, when it was made from wholesome ingredients. But not the variety on the typical supermarket shelf.

Then comes the spread. Again, this is a loaded topic and one which has much misinformation surrounding it. Butter is a natural (ish) product, as long as it is not highly processed. But the very way the dairy industry is created causes much suffering to another species. Isn’t the ultimate cruelty to a mother the permanent removal of her newborn? You have to decide whether this sits comfortably with you.

I’m not getting into the cholesterol debate on this one, as I don’t consider it has any value.

Certainly butter is healthier for you than the common margarines, which have been highly processed and contain many strange and questionable ingredients, not least the processed fats.

However, there is another spread, one that has been responsible for curing at least two cases of alzheimers disease.

Mary Newport’s husband was showing early signs of dementia. As a medical practitioner herself, Mary knew the limitations of the medical approach to alzheimer’s. She researched the alternatives available and came up with coconut oil. She noticed a distinct improvement in her husband after only two days of including coconut oil in his diet. He went on to recover almost all his lost faculties.

Bruce Flett is another example. He could not undertake even basic tasks such as dialing the telephone. His wife started to feed him coconut oil in his diet. Within HOURS of his first taste, he started to regain his faculties.

I think it was in one of James Michener’s epic books that I read of a long term prisoner on a starvation diet who only managed to remain healthy by the smuggling in of coconuts. Coconut is a complete food.

Whilst there are many reasons for any disease, including alzheimer’s, if diet (and the lack of healthy fats) is the cause, then this is likely to make a big impact.

I suggest the whole current theory of fats is incorrect. I consider all processed and all animals fats unhealthy. But coconut oil, along with other natural plant based foods high in fat such as avocado, nuts and seeds, are healthy. You can also use coconut oil in cooking and frying. It is far more stable than any other oil, including olive oil. Exchange the butter or margarine in baking or chocolate making for coconut oil. Include coconut milk in smoothies, instead of milk or even water.

Coconut is a stable superfood.

And I haven’t even begun to talk about the unhealthy conserves, yeast spreads and popular chocolate or nut spreads. But at least you will know your coconut oil on the bread is healthy.



The Coconut Research Centre gives you some great ideas of what this superfood can do for you.
