Picture taken from here

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) which is rich in medium chair fatty acids is known to inactive a number of pathogenic organisms. Its antibacterial, antiviral and antiprotozoal, activities are well documented. Dr. DS Rawat, a retired ICAR scientist (45 Garh Vihar, P.O. IIP. Mohkampur, Dehradun-248005) has been treating his wife for Alzheimer’s disease with virgin coconut oil supplied by CPCRI for the last 8 months. She has been having 1 table spoon of VCO orally twice a day (VCO by fermentation technique and hot process, alternally).

DR. Rawat writes, his wife has shown remarkable improvement on taking VCO for the treatment of her Alzheimer’s disease durign the last eight months. A slight gain in body weigth could be noticed, her posture improved and her skin has regained its old glow. She is better composed, calmer and responding to what is being told to her. Her fast losing vocabulary has reversed, she sometimes speaks words that she had forgotten for months. She repsonds when called by name and recognizes family members and relatives but cannot call them by name. Her sleep pattern has also improved, though not regular yet. Her digestion has become satisfatory.

Dr. Rawat is happy that VCO has helped his wife very much. He regrets that he could have come across the case study by Dr. Mary Newport few years earlier when his wife was in the first stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Nevertheless, he is happy that he could get good results from VCO and has requested the Institute to supply him more quantity of VCO. The experience of Dr. Rawat stand testimony to the therapeutic benefits of VCO. (CPCRI News).
