Dr. Newport's Alzheimer's Quest
00:03:43

|
| I often get people contacting me and tell me how coconut oil has helped them or family members overcome certain health problems, including neurological problems like Alzheimer's, MS, dementia. | |
| And I had the doctor, Mary Newport is her name, contact me, and she told me that she was having success with her Alzheimer's husband, Steve. | |
| And Steve started developing Alzheimer's at the age of 53. | |
| So he had early onset Alzheimer's. | |
| And he had had it for about five years when she contacted me. | |
| And so she started putting him on all the Alzheimer's drugs from the very beginning since she was a doctor. | |
| But it didn't do any good. | |
| And he still digressed. | |
| And so she was getting desperate. | |
| And so she started looking for new drugs, experimental drugs that haven't been approved yet. | |
| And she wanted to enroll him in one of these studies. | |
| And so she started studying all of the new drugs that are coming down for treatment of Alzheimer's. | |
| And in her research, she found one particular drug that showed great promise. | |
| This drug in preliminary studies showed that after taking the drug, it actually improved the memory of patients. | |
| This has never happened before. | |
| There is no drug on the market that can actually improve on Alzheimer's. | |
| The very best you can hope to do is to slow down the degeneration. | |
| Nothing can stop it and nothing can reverse it. | |
| But this drug actually showed improvement. | |
| And so she was really excited to enroll him. | |
| And so she did. | |
| She tried to put him in the study, but he had to take a test called the MMSE test, mini-mental state exam test, which is a test that determines your degree of dementia. | |
| And there's 30 questions on it. | |
| They had him take this test before he could enroll. | |
| And so he took the test and he scored a 12, which was almost in the severe stage. | |
| It was so bad that he was rejected from the study. | |
| He was considered too far gone, hopeless. | |
| And so they sent him home. | |
| But Dr. Newport, she had done her homework. | |
| And in her research, she happened to come across the patent application for this particular drug. | |
| And so she had studied it, and she knew the preliminary research. | |
| She knew the science behind why it is believed to work. | |
| And interestingly enough, in this patent application, also included the basic formula. | |
| And so she knew what was in it. | |
| And it contained one active ingredient. | |
| And that ingredient was medium-chain fatty acids derived from coconut oil, the basic fats that are in coconut oil. | |
| And since she knew that and was rejected from the study, she thought, well, how about if we just try using coconut oil? | |
| So she went to her health food store, bought a jar of virgin coconut oil, brought it home. | |
| She calculated how much coconut oil she'd have to give him to equal the amount of the medium chain fatty acids they were using in the study. | |
| And it came to two and a half tablespoons. | |
| And so she started putting two and a half tablespoons in his oatmeal in the morning. | |
| And this is actually two weeks after he was rejected from the study. | |
| And then that afternoon, they had another appointment with a neurologist. | |
| And so after taking it for the first time, he went to that study. | |
|
Phenomenal Improvements

|
|
| And this neurologist had him retake the MMSE test. | |
| This time, he scored an 18. | |
| He scored 12 two weeks before. | |
| Now, this is phenomenal because this doesn't happen. | |
| Alzheimer's patients don't spontaneously get better, jump from a 12 to an 18. | |
| They always digress, get worse. | |
| This was phenomenal. | |
| The doctor had never seen anything like this. | |
| And so Dr. Newport knew they had stumbled upon something phenomenal. | |
| And since that time, they started continually giving him, Steve, this coconut oil every day. | |
| And over the next year, he had phenomenal improvements. | |
| Dr. Mary prayed, too. | |
| Yes. | |
| And I read in the book. | |
| I'm sorry, Joseph. | |
