Manila
(Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - After previous claims as an antiseptic, AIDS
cure, anti-infective, cholesterol-basher, and remedy for various aches and
pains, coconut oil is now being hailed as a possible miracle cure for
Alzheimer's.
Dr.
Bruce Fife presented his evidence at the ongoing 10th Coconut Festival in
Mandaluyong City, relating the remarkable recovery of Steve Newport, 58, from
five years of progressive dementia after just 35 days of taking virgin coconut
oil (VCO).
According
to Fife, Newport's tests have dispelled the notion that VCO will increase
cholesterol and in fact his cholesterol levels have actually improved with the
good cholesterol (HDL) going up and the bad cholesterol (LDL) going down.
In 18
months, Newport's severe dementia was totally arrested. He scored high enough
in the MMSE tests to be considered to be in the mild range of Alzheimer's.
