F. Comments

I discontinued my keto diet. I take no meds. I believe CO decreased the size of my prostrate gland as indicated by much improved urine flow. Can't say as much for my tremors. Where would I be if I was not taking CO?

A: Yes, beneficial

B: 4 TBS CO + 4 TBS C-8 MCT oil per day + 1-2 TBS ketone salts as required (if fasting serum ketone less than 1.5 mM/liter)

C: Trial 1 year

D: Major decrease in tremor when taking CO while in ketosis

E: Continue ketogenic diet + CO for life

F: Taking CO inside a ketogenic diet (low carb) achieves more reliable relief of symptoms.

COCONUT OIL has changed my life dramatically.

I now:

Walk faster

Speak louder

Stand straighter

Cut my own meat

Button my own buttons

Brush my teeth without an electric toothbrush

Handwriting is improved

Can do more chores

Get out of chairs and cars much easier

I’m calmer and less nervous

On the other hand:

I don’t sleep better

Consuming CO in the evening makes it harder to sleep

My vision is no better

OVERALL: I am a true believer in the amazing power of CO. I’m afraid not to take it.

Put it in anything creamy. Milk shakes, smoothies, pudding, hot fudge topping, cream of tomato soup. Fry foods in it. Make baked goods, fudge, or butter mints with it. Use it instead of butter on English muffins and toast, with jam for a yummy treat. Try it on oatmeal with cream and brown sugar. And, EXCERSIZE. I believe it takes both.

A. Beneficial: yes

C. length of trial; 10 months

D. Benefit - Moderate - Major (not sure)

E. Will continue

F. I'm not sure of the benefits on my motor symptoms and I'm not going to stop taking it to find out. The time I stopped for 48 hours was when I was travelling and I lost my sense of taste/smell. But the long hours on the flight/car naturally affected my balance and gait so I can't isolate the effect of going without CO on my motor symptoms. I haven't had to increase my meds in the last year and constipation is no longer a problem.

A. Beneficial - yes

C. Length of my trial - 2 months

E. Are you likely to continue - Yes

F. Comments: I have only just found this information, but after a very drastic change in diet 8 months ago, and really increasing the use of CO in all of our meals in the last 2 months, I have noticed a difference in my husband's Parkinson's symptoms. I will measure the CO from now on and will get back to you in the next couple of months with the results. I will monitor each symptom .. as you have (he is a sceptic, so I have to do this 'incognito' and then hand him the results with my positive outcome. Obviously, I can only observe the differences and diarise).

For anyone wishing to enter this discussion outside of the parameters listed in the original post, I strongly recommend participation in the post and discussion led by soup: healthunlocked.com/parkinso...

The guidelines for this post are intended to facilitate tabulation of results, but soup has noted that there is an unintended consequence of possibly restricting discussion. She has provided a solution by initiating her post, for which I am most grateful.
