How Coconut Oil helped patient suffering from Parkinson's Disease

Coconut oil has improved my life
by fwes

I am 74 years old and I have Parkinson's, diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago and am under conventional drug treatment by Mayo Clinic. A year ago, while taking Mirapex Er (3mg) and Azilect (1Mg), my symptoms had progressed to severe slowness, unsteadiness, chronic stiffness and joint pain, frequent freezing episodes and I dragged my left leg. I had lost all facial expression and my lower left leg was retaining a significant amount of fluid (swelling to about 130%).

The addition of Carbidopa/Levodopa (25/100, 3 per day) eased the joint pain and the freezing episodes and restored some of the lost balance, but I still had annoying unsteadiness, slow movement, and could not rise from a low chair unassisted. I still dragged my left leg. I began to have severe lower back pain (under-medicated?) and got some relief from osteopathic manipulation.

This past April, I began taking coconut oil, worked up to 8T daily (4 with breakfast, 2 at lunch, 2 at dinner). I saw significant improvements in a couple of days. My wife and friends are astonished at my apparent recovery. It is strikingly noticeable. The reason for this dosage pattern is that I can feel a return of old symptoms 6-8 hours after the last dose, especially the return of dragging my left leg and low back pain.

Current status:
I move so quickly about the house (kitchen) that my wife and I nearly collide,
My speed on the elliptical trainer changed from 2 mph to 3.5 mph in a few days (I had to be careful with this, my knees were not used to this level of performance)
I have good balance (stand on one foot, put on pants standing without support, confidently step over small objects 6', etc)
I can rise from any chair unassisted
I can do football agility drills (shift right, shift left, step forward, step back in response to random commands)
Past and Present Photos show a pronounced change in facial expression
I can smell again
My osteopath has noticed a pronounced improvement in joint flexibility
The swelling in my left leg has disappeared.
I walk normally, but still have a tendency to stoop.
Back pain has disappeared, but returns quickly if I get behind on dosage
My primary care physician has declared my improvement miraculous, he calls me his 'clinical trial of one'

I have no delusions that this is a cure. I still have Parkinson symptoms, but my quality of life has vastly improved. We are about at the end of 3 months, and the benefits are maintaining. Something real has happened to me.

There is solid science behind this: Blog of Dr Mary Newport
I strongly encourage you to look a some of her postings on the Internet and to read her book: Alzheimer's - what if there was a cure.

Saturated Fat Myths: The knee-jerk fear of saturated fats has been largely discounted by modern research results. Nonetheless, my doctor did a complete blood workup on me after 2 months: big rise in HDL (good) and all LDL in large particles (good). Healthy blood report!

I may be a lucky one. I take my coconut oil on top of hot tea or coffee, hardly noticeable. It can cause indigestion, so start slowly and work up gradually. I saw benefits in a couple of days. In the interest of science, give it a fair trial and then report your results here on the ABC.

Dr. Newport reports that 19 PD patients have reported benefits to her. Her initial and primary interest is in Alzheimer's. To the degree that this is a case of benefit from improved nutrition to the damaged brain, there is hope that some of the AD benefits will also apply to the PD patients. USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute began double blind Clinical Trials on 65 AD patients in April, the first clinical trials of coconut oil as a therapy!

Hi Simone

I have been treating a few patients in the past who suffer from Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and although they have improved to some extent, the improvement has not enabled them to stop their dependence on L Dopa which they have been taking for many years. The Coconut Oil therapy has worked with at least one patient and it is my fervent hope that it will be used by patients throughout the world to treat this disease for which there is no remedy that can CURE it.

It is possible that the real reason for this obvious lack of cure is due to the condition of the patient turning chronic after years on the L Dopa which virtually dehydrates their bodies and renders them to the level of Zombies which is very painful to observe.

I do hope that this new departure in using Coconut Oil which incidentally is a food crop which grows profusely in Sri Lanka where I live, can make the difference in the treatment of PD for which the standard drug is L Dopamine which is supposed to cure but in effect only prolongs the agony of the patient’s life but at considerable cost to their quality of life.

You have specifically requested me to 'do more of these type of things when you can.”

I have in my own way tried to break the monopoly that classical homeopaths maintain is the only way to treat a patient while abiding by the classical rule of “Treating the SYMPTOMS presented by the patient with a SINGLE remedy”. I have often proved that this attitude does not CURE the patient in the same positive manner that my own “This for That” therapy aka “Joepathy” has succeeded in curing an ailment. In the not too distant past, this has lead to many unfortunate conflagrations on the ABC and other websites and at one point lead to my being banned from the ABC by Simon Broadley purely for prescribing my own therapy for GERD which as you are aware is Nat Phos 6x. The fact that it is not generally prescribed by the classical fraternity is not my fault but I have saved more lives with this remedy than others have done with their classic remedies, none of which can cure GERD.

You may also be aware that I have been promoting Arnica as the Ultimate Remedy to be used on a daily basis in the Wet dose, as a tonic. I was warned by classical homeopaths that the use of any remedy on a daily basis is dangerous but I have proved otherwise and at age 84, I believe that I am entitled to be dogmatic on my research and findings as I was the willing guinea pig, having taken a dose of Arnica 30 in the Wet dose nightly since 1996. I have proved conclusively that Arnica works by filtering the blood over the period of a few months which in turn enables the blood to percolate into the micro capillaries in the body which are invariably blocked after about age 40 and this leads to so many problems and diseases in life that are accepted as the price to pay for the advancing years, all of which can be cured if only the patient will follow my example and take a dose of Arnica preferably nightly. I am aware that many thousands do so, but my advice to those who do not, is to start on this Arnica therapy ASAP and report the difference it will make in their lives, almost overnight.

I can categorically state that at age 84 I do not feel a year older that I was say 30 years ago. I do not have any aches or pains in my body and my BP is 120/75 Pulse
