Does anyone have an opinion on the benefits of coconut oil in the diet?
Coconut Oil: Does anyone have an opinion on... - PSP Association
Coconut Oil
My husband's neuro specialist swore by it! It was the first treatment he gave to him. He himself took 1 tablespoons twice daily (think that was the dose). I was most impressed with him and his enthusiasm in researching CBD.
Sadly we did not have enough time to see any benefits.
I have used coconut oil instead of olive oil and have not noticed any taste, but have not tried it medicinally.
I will add a note of caution tho! It appears to have a laxative effect and that caused a major problem at the time! May require gradual increase in dose from 1 teaspoon upwards! Might also be helpful during constipation!
I have also found CoQ10 beneficial for brain function. In the past, have found it helped my memory. Currently I seem to be functioning well enough without it.
My husband, who worked in the field of meat chemistry, was adamant that supplements of any sort were unnecessary if you have a good diet - so I could never persuade him to take anything! He did accept the coconut oil however, until it had the result mentioned above!
If a specialist like ours thinks it worth prescribing, then it is always worth trying!

No scientific basis but my husband has taken this daily since diagnosis and he has had a slow progression. Whether that would have been the case or the coconut oil made a difference I don’t know.

My husband believes it to be beneficial and that is good enough for me to put it on his toast with jam.
