I'm curious about the combined effects on AD from VCO, tumeric, blueberries, Magnesium, NAC, Carnitine, cutting out the glutamate flavor enhancers and aspartic acid (neurotoxic), etc. Seems to me all these things are necessary. Haven't heard of any combined treatments. Seems like the basics must come first.
Don't forget the VITAMIN D3 as well. 5000iu/daily minimum for someone with Alzheimer's probably more may be needed to keep 25(OH)D above 55ng.
Consider also CoQ10 omega 3 2g daily. Resveratrol may also be useful but it's what you take out of the diet that is as important as what goes in extra. Refined flours starchy veggies and sugar and HFCS together with omega 6 industrially made vegetable oils, corn soy safflower and sunflower oil and everything that contains them must be eliminated.
I was recently reading an article that said soybean oil wrecks havoc on ones arteries. The only oils I trust are olive oil , butter and walnut oil. Canola oil has major issues, not good at all.

I think coconut oil and MCT are probably fine. I use a lot of both.
A while back my brain was not working so good and I can really notice when it comes to typing and remembering people's names. The cure for me is lecithin. When I supplement with that for a month or so I'm good to go for a long time. My typing tells me when I'm going to long without it.

We just bought coconut oil and MCT oil to help with my father's dementia. I might be overly hopeful, but I've been surprised a few times already when it seemed like his short-term memory improved.
This morning, my husband tried the MCT oil and immediately got hives. He's had allergic reactions in the past to foods with a long list of ingredients like Sun Chips and some bar-b-que sauces. He had no reaction to the coconut oil. Both are good brands (Now and Nutiva). MCT oil is derived from coconut oil and palm oil, right?

Any advice appreciated!!
Hi Denise, welcome to the forum! I've never used MCT oil, but from what I see, Now brand is made of coconut and palm oils, hubby might be allergic to the palm. I don't think you're being overly hopeful with your father, I would definitely give him healthy doses of the coconut oil for sure. I hope you have success and can help him improve his memory and cognition. Best to both of you.
Magnesium l-threonate is not very expensive to try it. However, it is hard to find locally, so you will have to shop at your favorite on-line supplement vendor.
