(NaturalNews) Reliable conclusions about the causes of Alzheimer's disease remain elusive, and effective drugs to treat the disease remain equally scarce. An actual pharmaceutical cure seems as close to becoming reality as a cure for cancer.

Yet, a Florida doctor was actually able to reverse her husband's Alzheimer's disease just by giving him 4 teaspoons of coconut oil per day. In the course of a year, not only did he regain the ability to exercise and to care for himself, but his brain atrophy was completely halted.

The most cutting-edge research suggests that Alzheimer's may stem from an inability of the brain to process glucose, leading to cell death. But the brain has another source of fuel: ketones, produced by the body from mid-chain triglycerides like those found in coconut oil.

In fact, the most promising experimental Alzheimer's drugs being tested today are nothing more than medium-chain triglycerides derived from coconut and palm kernel oil.
