Hi did you find anywhere in the uk that sold c o nut oil gelcaps thanks

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Gel caps?

1000mg gel caps are not near enough to the dose necessary.

1000mg = 1 gram / 1 Tablespoon = 14.25g

“Therapeutic levels of MCTs have been studied at 20 grams per day. According to Dr. Newport's calculations, just over two tablespoons of coconut oil (about 35 ml or seven level teaspoons) would supply you with the equivalent of 20 grams of MCT, which is indicated as either a preventative measure against degenerative neurological diseases, or as a treatment for an already established case.”

@RoyProp as a fan/follower of you/your posts, curious, how many hours/ d do u spend on an average day researching all things PD ? To get to your current level of satiety or maintenance? I can't seem to keep up as there is a plethora of info & ease in which one can chase rabbit holes (ancillary topics) ... stuck in my own quagmire - will I ever get to maintenance dose of information? Ha!

[Hidden in reply to AmyLindy]

Five years and the experience, some good, some bad builds up to a plethora of info, some good, some bad.

Yesterday, feeling earlier was positive, I moved my thiamine dose from 600mg day to 1200mg per day/everyday.

Allithiamine 50mg

Mega Benfotiamine 150mg

U r ur own pharmacist, I see! Do u posses a professional clinical background or are u self made?

[Hidden in reply to AmyLindy]

diet, vitamins, herbs do not a pharmacist make

[Anthonyian in reply to Ryan12]

Hi could you tell me where you purchased the gel tabs I finding it hard to take the c o nut oil thankyou

[fwes]

Please read the "non-clinical trial" post. We welcome your participation.

[Hidden]

I take 2 capsules daily and do feel better but the capsules are not available in the UK, I have to buy them from the USA.

I can't eat the coconut oil it make me feel sick. but I do cook with it occasionally. (makes nice curries)

Did I read on here that Curcumin is also very good for PD (or did I dream it?)

[cabbagecottage]

I started to use the oil for my husband but had to stop because it made his mouth so oily his dentures kept coming unstuck . I will try the capsules , I would think it might the bowels . Have you found that .

Neupro (rotigotine transdermal system) only if you must and only after YOU do thoroughly research the benefit or not of various medicines, their side effects, the period they are effective and alternative treatments. /do not simply rely on your doctor's advice.

Myself, I chose coconut oil and ketogenic diet. Later the diet was changed to include more carbs, berries/fruit and greens.

kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, collard, onions, liver (organ meats), seaweed.

Vitamins: Flaxseed 1000mg, C 500mg, E 400iu, D3 5000iu

Coconut oil: 6 tbsps per day

Heat 1/3 coffee cup of coconut milk, the variety that contains 6g of sugar, place two tbsp. of coconut oil and after it melts in a moment, you have a tasty drink not unlike hot cocoa. For that matter, I sometimes add a chunk of unsweetened cocoa for flavor.

[joe45 in reply to Hidden]

Hi, which coconut oil did u buy ? Also I've today just tapered of neupro just on madopar , I'd like to try the coconut oil

Thanks joe

[AmyLindy in reply to Hidden]

6 TB Coconut Oil /d! I am trying for the baseline 2 TB & getting creative about melting it into coffee, cooking & starches. Are u still a proponent at this level of 6/d@RoyProp? (3 yo)

[Hidden in reply to AmyLindy]

no fan of CO, but I don't denie it works for some

[Hidden]

"any benefits yet?" After I began the co and ketogenic course, my wife noticed a difference. I am still adjusting my diet away and now back again toward what will produce ketones. Some experts report low carb is the key and not ketogenic diet. By my research, amateur as it is, I have an idea that prescription drugs are not the answer. With drugs you are adding more problems. As long as I can, I will not take drugs.

[kearney34]

Yes the gel tabletss are not enough I take two tablespoons of the solid take it with a little fuit juice frm frozen fruit I have foound good results between two and four tablespoons daily would like tio find out more about the diet (keytone?) [e-mail]

Does coconut oil help tremors to reduce

[inkevaru]

BULSHIT.. COCONUT OIL DOES NOT HELP AT ALL. IT'S ONLY PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT. WE SOUTH iNDIANS' DO NOT COOK FOOD WITHOUT COCONUT, WE EAT COCONUT PRASAD EVERY WEEK AND TAKE ITS WATER REGULARLY.. COCONUT IS PART OF OUR LIFE. BUT MY WIIFE HAS BEEN SUFFERING WITH PARKINSONS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. ALLOPATHY, AYURVEDA, HOMEOPATHY, NATUROPATHY, MARMA MASSAGE, PANCHAKARMA, MANTRA, TANTRA.. WHATEVER IS ON EARTH IS TRIED AND TESTED INCUDING DBS BRAIN SURGERY. IT'S HELL TO LIVE WITH HER BUT CAN'T HELP. I AM UNDER SEVERE DEPRESSION.

[AmyLindy in reply to inkevaru]
