- Note from TED: We've flagged this talk, which was filmed at an independent TEDx event, because it appears to fall outside TEDx's curatorial guidelines. As she notes in the talk, Dr. Newport's specific medical guidance is based on ongoing research that has not yet been reviewed or published. The guidelines we give our TEDx organizers are described in more detail here:

__________________________
When Dr. Newport's husband Steven was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, as a Doctor herself, she explored routine treatment options. But when his symptoms became so severe that he was not able to participate in clinical trials, her scientific deductions led to coconut oil, which has led to amazing results.
Mary T. Newport, M.D. grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was educated at Xavier University and University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. She is board certified in pediatrics and neonatology, training at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, and Medical University Hospital in Charleston, SC. She is founding director of the newborn intensive care unit at Spring Hill Regional Hospital, practicing full-time through All Children's Specialty Physicians and volunteer clinical faculty at University of South Florida. She was also founding director of the neonatal intensive Care unit at Mease Hospital Dunedin.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Dear Dr. I am grateful to you. After seeing your youtube videos, started giving coconut oil and able to improve my fathers’ health who is suffering from Parkinson. Thanks Always
She is the epitome of what doctors should be. God bless her.
I read Dr Newport's article in our Newspaper many years ago and I started eating Coconut oil in the hope not to get Alzheimer like my Mom had. I think I am functioning quite well at the age of 81, I am very social and use my computer researching everything that benefits me and so far my mind still works well. Thank you Dr Newport.
Greetings! My mother who is 70 was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I am starting her with Coconut Oil. Many blessings to you.
Maybe you were not going to get it?
@@oneseeker2 Maybe she was and maybe she wasn't. SHE DIDN'T GET IT, so that the important thing now isn't it?
That is great news and hope
Renate Jaeger- It's my understanding that Alzheimer's is NOT a hereditary disease. It can be inherited BUT most of the time it is NOT. Keep on shuckin !
Thank you so much, Dr Newport. I have Alzheimer's and I saw your TedTalk, and started MCT oil that day. I am so much better and I finally have hope. You are my hero
I like coconut oil but I started taking turmeric and it gave me de ja-vu multiple times...weird right?
Anita Heady- Would you be so kind as to mention the brand name of the coconut oil you used and what dosage you used each day ? Thank you !
@@STICKITINYOUREAR I've been using organic MCT oil from SR Sports Research. I found it at our local Vitamin Shop and I believe it was about $16 which seems reasonable for a large bottle (32 oz.). I hope this helps. Sorry to take so long to answer, as I've never seen this comment page
@@anitaheady6335- Anita, how much do you take daily?Just remember that coconut oil and MCT oil are packed with saturated fats. A dietitian recommends that you do NOT exceed 1 tbsp/day.There are some doctors who think Alzheimer's is stage 3 diabetes and that it can be prevented by eating the right foods. On TH-cam there is a Dr. named Mark Hyman MD and he has a video where he interviews a Dr. Perlmutter. The title of the video is How To Prevent Alzheimers with Your Fork. You may find it informative.
@@STICKITINYOUREAR One tea spoon per day for who do not posses alzheimer. But the individuals who posses alzheimer, the recommended amount is three or four!
I stumbled upon this video 3 days ago and feel angels led me to it. I had two uncles who were diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers. My mother's symptoms started later. I also have a cousin who was diagnosed a few years ago. I've recognized the symptoms coming on in myself. After my husband viewed the video, he went out and bought coconut oil. We started taking it that day. Thank you Dr. Newport.
How is it working for you? I think my mom is now creeping into early stages of Dementia so I am purchasing coconut oil and MCT oil today for her. Prayers for you and your family. Decrease their sugar intake as well (no processed foods).
Good for you! Use lakanto monk fruit no sugar ever. Cut carbs low find Healthy Keto and cook it works! Mct oil/coconut oil it awesome!
Can you please let me know you’re progress?
@@yasminjackson4585 Did the coconut oil and mct work for you??
Did it work for you?
This is fascinating . It’s made me think about something and everything the doctor says make sense. I come from Fiji . In the pacific islands , we cook with alot of coconut . Usually the coconut is grated and the juice extracted from the scrapings - coconut milk or coconut cream . This is used a lot in our food . If what the Doctor is saying it correct , then I can vouch for it as I don’t ever recall anyone ever diagnosed with Dementia . It goes hand in hand with the great social networks we all have with each other . The elderly are respected and included in everything .
Great video .
i am making an ebook on alzheimers natural treatments i would be interested on any fiji health data i could use that might support this and add a qoute like that as nice example
My Father was from Fiji, My mother from the UK I never met him sadly he died in a plane crash on the way to his mothers funeral with his sister. For some reason I always get excited when I see someone is from Fiji that they may of know my dad, I get its a big place. He was called William Peckham died in The late 70's

I am grateful to Dr Mary Newport for having the courage to challenge the medical monopoly with factual information!
I empathize with everyone dealing with losing a loved one in front of their eyes. I empathize with Dr. Mary Newport finding meaning with correlation. I empathize with the people looking here for answers to an incredibly difficult situation.
Thank you Dr Newport
Huh? She's not challenging any "medical monopoly." The "medical monopoly" is required ro use clinical trials, which are slow and expensive and highly regulated, to be able to manufacture and distribute the drugs in the US. She didn't say anything to say negative about "medical monopoly." In fact, she encourages those to use MCTs while waiting to enroll in an official RCT or while anticipating the release of drugs manufactured by the major pharmaceutical companies.
God bless this doctor who is not afraid to share her findings in a world that is quick to criticize and slow to change. We need more people like her!
I am taking cbd oil with mct oil as base.for 6 months. After hearing these amazing testimonials, I will now be taking 7tsp of mct/coconut oil a day. I have mild cognitive impairment. Looking forward to improving my memory! I'll return here for an update. Thank you Dr. Newport! ❤
I love Dr Newport! She opened my eyes to what the human brain is made of, and what it needs to be fed to stay healthy and optimized!

Love hearing this. I've been keto/carnivore for quite some time and cook with coconut oil too. Enjoyed your book Dr Berry, thanks. X

This woman saved my life with this knowledge. I was in my forties when I noticed marked cognitive decline, so when I found her online I immediately began taking MCTs and noticed change right away. I am so grateful to her!
Prof Chris Exley proved in a small trial the silica rich mineral waters such as Spritzer, Volvic & Fiji mineral waters also stopped & reversed Alzheimer's. The study was censored from public knowledge. These mineral waters bind to aluminium / aluminum in the body & brain & remove it via the kidneys. These mineral waters also helped people suffering with MS. MS patients have a high body burden of aluminium & these mineral waters were removing lots of aluminium from their bodies & healing them. Seems many people have a genetic predisposition to not be able to detoxify aluminium / aluminum from their bodies.

Hello Dara
The fact that this Still hasn't blown up and it's been 10 years since this Video came out Makes me sad. Keep sharing this Kind of stuff.
This amazing lady didn't get the Nobel Prize ! She is a champion and an angel for her dedication to her husband and for her discovery of Diabetes Type 3. No drugs are involved - well that explains everything doesn't it.
She disnt discover it but she helped spread the idea
She didn't discover it, she didn't name it, and her entire purpose in this video is raising awareness to isolate what is in the coconut oil so they can make a drug....
sandymac04 I see this video was made 7 years ago. In it Dr Newport talks about waiting for scientists to make keto-esters (which is like coconut oil but far more potent, so smaller amounts are needed). I wonder if anything has changed for Alzheimers in the scientific world in the past 7 years?
Sounds like big Pharma wants you to look to them only to solve this medical crisis - as usual. Follow the money as always.
The date is December of 21 when I stumbled on this Utube and we are now fighting Covid 19:and it variations. The government controlled by the Pharmaceutical industry with the supposed vaccines is their only solution.Many of us are skeptical of the problems with the “vaccines” and the cure is maybe worse than the disease. Some doctors have tied other remedies against the Covid problem but got into deep trouble with the intrenched system. We are a controlled society and getting worse.
Yes, and better stop these clinical trials or you won't be able to buy coconut oil without a prescription.
I've been treating my grandmother with coconut oil since 2011 after finding Mary Newport's videos on the internet, and it worked so well we stopped regular medication, and my grandmother's Alzheimers improved so much with all that low carb diet, coconut oil and Mct oil intervention that she is a way better then any other Alzheimer patient that have the disease for 4 or 5 years like her. So, I have to advice, if you're thinking to try coconut oil and low carb intervention to help your beloved ones who have Alzheimers, take the chance. What you've got to lose?
Christian Bergamo Whats the amount a day do you serve? thanks
***** one table spoon per meal each day for the last 5 years. Pelo seu nome vi que Talvez você seja brasileiro, se for, é uma colher de sopa de óleo de coco e mct misturados por refeição. Estou a disposição para qualquer dúvida com relação ao tratamento com óleo de coco para Alzheimer.
Português... Ela fala em 7 colheres de sobremesa ao pequeno almoço? A quanto tempo faz isto?
Onde encontro MCT?
***** há 5 anos minha avó toma religiosamente óleo de coco após cada refeição. Quando os primeiros sintomas do Alzheimer apareceram pesquisando na Internet achamos os vídeos da Dra Mary Newport assim como você acabou de fazer e eu comprei pelo Kindle o livro dela. Na nossa experiência uma colhe de sopa junto das refeições funcionou melhor. O mct você acha pela Internet mais facilmente. Quer me adicionar no WhatsApp? Posso te contar minha experiência com o tratamento explicar melhor etc.
Amazing! This is actually working for my dad who has been suffering from Alzheimer. A million recommendations, Dr. Newport!!
Please can you tell me how much yout dad take it...1spoon ,2??
Same wth my dad too! It works wonders fr dementia patients ! We saw positive changes in just 2 weeks! We give him about 5 tsp coconut oil mixed in wth his food, thrice a week.
Thank u so much Dr Newport 🙏
Hi there, how much of daily take of coconut oil?@@tinazcooper208
I wish this simple treatment was around when my mama had Alzheimer’s in the 70’s and dying at age 67 in 1982. I was just a girl and can honestly say Alzheimer’s was a wrecking ball to my mom, family and my own life. This is the first shred of hope I’ve had yet for Alzheimer’s. I feel empowered.
Look up Andrew Wommack's A Better Way To Pray and Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇 Gifts.
There are so many examples of things that I learned too late. I'm so sorry for your experience. I guess we're just lucky in other ways like antibiotics to save lives. your mom was too young. I also like Dr Bredesen's: The End of Alzheimers, that investigates all the origins of Alzheimers and his success against the Medical Establishment. He is a respected MD and is doing Amazing things!
You've literally changed my life! Diagnosed with MCI which rapidly began to turn into early onset dementia - coconut oil has been amazing! I hope others going through cognitive decline find this!
I found this by accident. I identified with some of the symptoms. I found coconut oil in my pantry. Where can I find a plan I can follow? Thank you.
Still going strong on the mct?
Who is listening to this in 2022 and being amazed by this lady ?
Great video! Dr. Newport's book is just as good. If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease you need her book.

Hello Pat
This is a very true regiment & help for Alzheimers/Dementia patients! As a Hospice caregiver, I've been using this for my Alzheimers/Dementia patients with some type of result in each patient. Depending on the advancement of the Alzheimers/Dementia in each patient, results can be very much noticed or just slight improvement. I've tried every brand on the market & have found one from Walmart to be the best (even ordering from Hawaii) to use. CONSISTENCY IS KEY IN GETTING RESULTS!
@@speedqueen7781 what is the walmart coconut oil are you using?
Stumbled on this video today, just as I was praying for help...my hubby was diagnosed with early onset mixed dementia 9 years ago & in the last couple of months is struggling more. Thank you so much, angels led me to this beautiful lady's message & we will start using coconut oil together from today. 🙏 💜🕊
Hello Janette
Hello Janette!
Great discovery for dementia patients

One of the best TED talks. Really informative and so sad that institutions didn't hear you. I strongly believe that wherever money and grand fundings are involved, simple good ideas are going down the drain. Its so simple, no pharmaceutical want it to be so simple, because its not lucrative. Hope one day your contribution be recognised and the treatment gets to the people
I just want to say, thank you so much Dr. Mary Newport.
Has anyone looked at the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease in societies that routinely include coconut oil in their diets? For instance, Southeast Asia, Central and South American societies-how does their rate of Alzheimer’s compare to ours? That would give us a clue, though non-definitive.
Thanks to the message about MCT and coconut oil helping receptors in the brain Doctor Newport deserves applause for all her hard work to get the public aware of foods that aid the brain. This country, your country, owes Doctor Newport a debt of gratitude. Here's to many happy memories!
What is MCT ?
@@carolinenorman6141 medium chain triglycerides I believe. I put the closed caption on and did screen shots.
@@KTB77777 thanks
@@KTB77777 I heard a lot of vitamin B and omega three fatty acids also helps
@@carolinenorman6141 Can buy it online or at your local health store. It is medium chain coconut oil. Make sure it says on the bottle how much C8 is in it and has highest level but u should check about 50 percent
Was so happy to find this info early and coconut oil turned around my mother’s diabetes type 3. Even her diabetes type 2 is under control without meds. (Metformin)
She’s now 94 and very sharp mentally. Huge difference from when I moved here to help her and she didn’t know what season it was when going outside.
Hi.. please how do give the coconut oil.. quantity and how many times a day ?
@@makchas1
Have just watched this video. Dr Newport said she gave 7 teaspoons of coconut oil, to be equal to the 20g of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT oil) being used in the trial.
She gave her husband 7 teaspoons 4 times a day, I presume with meals.
The video is 9 years old so research should give you a more up to date information on how to get your MCTs.
I don't know anything about it, except what is in Dr Newport's video.
Good luck with your research. I hope all goes well for you.
@@valeriewilliamson3752 thanks
Thank you Dr. Newport. I experienced great changes in memory with use of coconut oil, in the last 1-1/2 - 2 years. I had problems ten years ago with neurological testing through UCSF. Today I would have improved by at least 50%. Great talk.
May I know the brand of the coconut oil you use? And, where can I buy one from?
Thank you for your comment Mary. Can you tell me how much you take every day please?
It’s great to think that there may be a simple cure.

@@fengzheng7344 -You can find organic coconut oil at , Amazon online & within many health oriented food stores. I would get unrefined oil as much as possible & get an organic brand especially to avoid toxins. “Spectrum” brand is good .

@@fengzheng7344 Costco seeks both MCT and coconut oil. If you buy coconut oil, make sure it’s cold pressed.
Thank you for this...after memory issues and a shrinkage of brain...a keto diet gave me my brain back. Within just a few days using MCT and coconut oil I noticed a difference! It works. Doctors had an attitude when I mentioned ketones...and my primary told me there wasn't anything that could be done to help me after the MRI taken. I fired him!
Good for you!
Myra, I totally agree with your thinking. We have to become our own advocate with our health. Maybe firing your doctor made a statement. If we don't care about our own health do we really expect doctors who have been taught that we can't do anything to help ourselves, do we think they really care? I've research MTC's & coconut oil & their benefits, now I'm really going to put it to the test. We all are so grateful Dr. Newport got her research out for the regular Jill & Joe's out there who are dealing with thief of the mind. Rebecca W. Freeman

Thank you. Even a little light is better than no light. I have known my wife since she was 12 and I was 13. Our love story started 60 years ago by picking up a fallen napkin. We have experienced great joy great sorrow and some bumps that could have disrailed our lives but we survived Now at the end of our journey it breaks my heart knowing that she is slipping away from me a little every day.

@Gary Smith. There's also a book out called "Awakening from Alzheimer's." It includes other dietary helps in addition to MCT/coconut oil.
Incredible! I’m October 2017 I started the keto diet at age 51 at which time I had noticed that memory ability was not as it used to be, GOD blessed me with the ability to remember peoples names like no other. When I started keto, I used coconut oil in just about everything & my memory improved exponentially, basically back to my normal ways. About a year ago I started using more avocado oil instead of coconut oil and the memory issues began surfacing. Then this past weekend I just decided to use coconut oil again & today has been a big turn in memory again. That’s it, I’m sticking to coconut oil for life, literally!
How did you use the coconut oil? I so need to try this. I can't remember alot these days.
yes please tell us how you used it! Do you deep-fry, pan-fry, baste, spread, bake, mix it with everything and/or drink it? Let us know where it doesn't work so we don't have to waste good food or coconut oil!
How could coconut oil be used?

@@angelabroughton5980 Maybe where coconut flavor isn't desirable, probably in a lot of places, that would be wonderful on salads and roast veggies maybe even both at once. Putting other nutritional oil in your smoothie is great, flaxseed oil especially, swapping out for others such as pumpkinseed oil half the time for variety of nutrients.
Somehow this talk came up in my TH-cam feed. I am so very grateful. Since I had the Delta Covid-19 my short term memory - and even some long term memory recall- has been really scary in deficiency. I worked with Alzheimer’s patients in my early twenties (now in my early fifties) when it was a brand new field of care. I realized my memory was very similar and wondering if having Covid had set off an Alzheimer’s type bomb in my brain. I took my first 7 teaspoons of coconut oil this morning after watching Dr. Newport’s Ted talk. I am hoping and praying this will have a positive impact. Thank you Dr. Newport!
Michelle, Same here! I've been shocked & distressed by the change in my memory since covid. Thanks to this video I'm about to start using coconut oil again. I used to mix it in with my morning coffee. I also like to use coconut oil and coconut water to make rice sometimes instead of butter and water. Coconut Rice goes well with a shrimp dish. Very nice for a change once in a while.
@@NinaTheRealtorNaplesMarco Can you tell me anything about what you have found by adding coconut oil to your diet? Are you noticing any improvement?
Michelle, yes! I had the WORST covid "brain fog" in 2020 and it was terrifying. I mostly recovered but noticed that two years later I still struggle with remembering words for things (when I used to be articulate with a very large vocabulary). I eat lots of anti-inflammatory foods like berries and spinach and my body feels great but no improvement in my memory. Will definitely get coconut oil tomorrow and start a daily regimen immediately. 🤞🤞

Coconut oil and MCT just went to the top of my grocery list.
I used a coconut oil product specifically for brain function to help her alz. My doctor recommended it. My mom went from barely talking to anyone to to talking our ears off lol! She was not able to do basic tasks to take care of herself, but raised her quality of life and overall enjoyment quite a bit while she was still here. She read, had conversations on a wide range of subjects, enjoyed going out to get a meal and to do a wide range of activities. I had to work hard to keep thinking of new things to do with her. The variety of things we did for a change of scenery also helped stimulate her brain a lot too. Activity important too.

I hope you also have completely eliminated ALL sources of contact with gluten including skin contact for good. Same goes for all your family members. Crucial to eliminate gluten. Get gut microbiome tested, intracellular nutrient testing, testing for toxins such as molds and metals, as well. Become a certified Functional Medicine doctor if you haven't yet done so.

I'm grateful for Dr. Newport for providing this information. Thank you, Mary Newport.
How old is your father? My grandmother is 75 years old she has had Alzhemiers for about 5 years, maybe? She is currently living in a home with other grandparents . Last time I saw her she looked sleepless :( I am trying to see what can I do to help her. She lost her emotion as to reacting in some situtions but she still cries randomly I am guessing it has to do with depression. She doesn't speak anymore , can't use the bathroom on her own or even eat on her on but She is still walking. About 3 months ago for her 75th birthday she was still laughing and looked healthy. But everything as change in such a small amount of time.I want to start giving her coconut oil every time I visit her . Do you give him the pure coconut oil, should I do a soup and add coconut oil?
YourGlamorousLatina you should not only focus on "coconut oil." I feel the message she wanted to get across is that your brain does not get powered with only glucose, but also ketones, and hence, the reason for taking coconut oil(because it generates ketones). I can provide more info if you are willing to take another step towards this. Just like you, I am also looking to deal with this godamn disease. Message me if you want to know more, and maybe by sharing info we can help each other...several of the symptoms you talked about are symptoms of alzheimers(inability to sleep, depression, etc)

I know that’s what triggered his Lewy body Dementia because he became psychotic within 36 hours of getting his shot. I would give anything to be able to go back and change what he did, but it’s too late. By the way, an alternative doctor that I know has told me that to avoid Covid to take 50 mg of zinc every day along with half a dropper full of a liquid vitamin D. The brand he recommended is called RxLiquiD3. He said it’s the only brand that raised his patients’ vitamin D levels. I started doing that for myself and for my husband toward the beginning of Covid and although my husband died from it, Covid didn’t really kill him, it just made his Parkinson’s worse. I kissed him on the lips three times after he was diagnosed positive with Covid and I did not catch it even though I’m not in great health. I think the vitamin D and the zinc really do work. But my husband was too ill and his body couldn’t fight it. Take care! 💕😪
I am very glad that TED chose to publish this talk. this is so important. and I think she is clear that it still needs more study.
I appreciate Ted Talk doing this, as well.
Thank you Dr. Mary Newport!!! I am a follower of the keto diet and I take MCT oil. Since I have started this regimen I feel much healthier . Alzheimer's and Dementia are in my family. One other thing I have noticed is a huge reduction of inflammation, which is a huge driving force in other diseases, alot of positive side effects.
Do you take MCT oil in the form of coconut oil? Does it matter if it's cooked or raw?
Hello Butterfly
Thank you to this good doctor who cares enough to try the unconventional and the courage to tell others. It is clear to me that the powers that be are not interested in a "cure." Easier for some to cling to the status quo of "no cure." We must take charge of our own health.
"We must take charge of our own health."
Sad but true and proven beyond the shadow of a doubt during the last 2, 3 years.
Hello Mary
Shocked to discover that this is effective for the Alzheimer patient in my life. Went from no longer speaking to speaking. If they won’t eat, you can just use unrefined coconut oil as a skin lotion too. Is coconut a problem re cholesterol/heart disease? No idea, but for the moment, we’ll risk it. It’s worth it for ending the strange severe anxiety attacks and paranoia.
No, coconut oil is a good oil, compared to seed oils (soybean oil, corn oil, etc). Seed oils cause inflammation in the body whereas coconut oil is neutral to beneficial in these ways.
higher cholesterol does not cause heart disease - inflammation is the driver.
@@sandralabrecque823 not all seed oils. Flax seed oil is the best natural anti-inflammation product available. You need to find good quality one. Check out Activation Products and Andreas Seed Oils.
@@judymiller5154 correct. Worth reading: the book The Lie about Cholesterol by Prof. Dr. Walter Hartenbach.
Forget all you've ever heard about "bad cholesterol". If you eat normal foods, not junk food and no sodas of any sort, not even the diet kind, and no refined sugar in anything, you will do fine. Our brain is mostly cholesterol, and so are the nerves, obviously. There is no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. The pharma is pushing their drugs, that's what it is. Stop thinking of the body in parts, spare parts and nuts and bolts. It does not work that way!
How fortunate for that lovely man to have such a brilliant woman in his life.
It’s incredible how fast early onset Alzheimer’s can devastate a person’s brain. This woman is brilliant. Statins killed my Dad. He was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig disease) after over 15 years of statin use as prescribed by his cardiologist.
So sorry to hear my wife worked with a person with ALS he lived alot longer than they thought because he did his own research on how to get better and slowed it down plus helped others besides . Designed exercise machines so muscles didn't cramp so much and donated to organizations that were in the same field as his disease. Wonderful person to help out others in his condition. God bless his soul!
I have been using MCT and coconut oil for the last couple of months for my 91 year old mother who had a stroke Aug of 2017. She has made a noticeable improvement in quality of life.
Fantastic, good for you. glad to hear that you are using bouth
Dabney, how much MCT and how much coconut oil did you give your 91 year old mother? I am glad to hear that it made an noticeable improvement in life quality. Thank you in advance.
Life changing. Thank you. I hope this small token of my appreciation finds you and your husband healthy and happy.
Thank you, Dr. Newport for the information you described for Alzheimer's. If it can help one person, you will have succeeded in your efforts. I'm so glad that your husband is doing better. God bless you for your efforts.
I just came across this video and originally viewed it for my boyfriend with a family history of Alzheimer’s, who at 61 has begun having issues. I begun to think of my own severe brain fog to see if I can improve my quality of life! Thank you Dr!!!
@Amy Gardner. There's also a book out called "Awakening from Alzheimer's." It includes other dietary helps in addition to MCT/coconut oil.
This actually works for Lyme Disease patients with brain fog. We have tried this, went away from it when feeling better but back on it again as a daily dose.
interesting! perhaps the long covid sufferers could also be helped...
@@judymiller5154 worth a try!! what's there to lose?
Good to know. I've fibromyalgia and its brain fog. I'll explore this. Thank you for sharing!
@bina nocht How much iodine do you take? 🤗
Are you also doing Patrica Kane's Membrane Stabilizing Drink? Have been doing this since 2017 a long with Essentiale N treatments until FDA outlawed it before approving Aduhelm. This new drug cost $560,00 a year, with side effects of brain swelling and bleeding.
GOD BLESS YOU MARY. GOD PUT U IN THIS WORLD TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVE THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE.
Thank you Mary. Because of your video. I have my husband on MCT oil for Alzheimer's. It is working.
Best wishes to Mary Newport! Thank you for your input to MCT. I wish more Americans would help others as you have so clearly presented this valuable topic! Paul Yates
paul Davis "
It would be interesting to see the rates of altzheimers among populations who eat coconut oil as part of their diet, like the Pacific Islanders.
No amount of coconut oil (or isolated MCT fats) can compensate for a concurrent high glycemic diet. If you don’t regulate the latter, MCT fats won’t tilt the balance sufficiently. I mention this because Pacific Islanders have the same terrible diet as us. Obesity may even be more prevalent there.
@@tycox8704 I guess it the same principle as "You can't train/exercise your way out of a bad diet"
Thank you all once again for helping all of us live happy healthy lives as we should and are entitled to as divine creations! This channel has consistently been an eye opener! Well done! Dr Newport you are beyond amazing and nothing I say here can thank you enough for your research and vigilance! You are heard and I know one day you'll be seen as the true hero you are!❤ Thank you!
Best of luck Dr. Newport. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much my mother was just admitted to a nursing home at age 72 and I so hope that this could improve her quality of life even if it is just a little it would be such a wonderful relief for me and my family.
Thank you Dr Newport.
Was researching treating cancer with sound and stumbled on this......Thank you, Dr. Newport
She has been down a LONG road and trying to get the word out!!! Bless her!
I echo that!
Thank you! God bless you and your husband. You are a very caring person! Wish there would be more people like you on the planet!
Thank you for creating this and having the passion to share the results of your husband's progress! Blessings to you!
Thank you. My mother died with Alzheimers, and I know several people who are suffering with it at the moment, so I was very interested to view this. Makes sense to me, as many of our current diseases are obviously related to our changing diet.
Wow! What wonderful news. Something that will hopefully make a difference in people with this horrible disease. Thank you for all your hard work and research. I hope that many people benefit from this.
i'm reading her book, its giving me hope already!
I always am offering my daughter early apologies. We seriously think one day I may start to go through this. However, we know it may just be stress that is causing certain behaviors that give us this concern. This is sooooooo helpful. Thank you 🦋🦋🦋
*So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s. Feeling absolutely shattered, heartbroken and drained , working with different physicians across the country with little or no improvement. I was exhausted and overwhelmed to look any further. Crying a lot through frustration, anger and despair, But today with the help of Homeocure Worldwide Natural Medicine, my mother is completely healthy and well again. I think we only need more support and sunlight to overcome this dreadful disease. Search for support regardless and don't stop until you get it. With Homeocure Worldwide treatment, there is hope, don't give up! contact them on their youtube channel for more info*
Pls send me link..I wud be grateful...thank you...
You are a remarkable lady. Thank you for bringing this information to us.
WOW! Thank you so much, Dr. Newport, for your unshakable determination to get someone to listen to you! I work with the very elderly and so I of course know many people who have had, or do have, Alzheimers. I am saving this TedTalk and will be passing this information along to anyone who will listen. Thank you for all that you are doing!! ✌️☺️💞
Robbie, I too just found this TED talk; my mom died from Alzheimers at 83 and I am determined that I will not succumb, at least without a good effort! Coconut oil here I come! :)
Mary you are an angel of the Lord. Your story/ message is very exciting. Thank you for Broadcasting your message, loud and clear as soon as you discovered this amazing discovery. thank you so much. Chris, Thailand.
Thank you so much for working so hard to get the word out! Definitely sharing!
Thank you for this talk and sharing this healing information. I loved listening to your talk and have great respect for you for not giving up on getting this information out to others in spite of those who dismissed your idea. . Please keep giving your talks whenever you can. You will be helping many people who are struggling. Sincerely, a grateful Ted Talk viewer.
Wonderful, wonderful talk!!! So impressed and inspired by the story of her journey and her husband's improvement. Bravo!
What an amazing lady God bless her n her family
I wish TedX would reconsider their practice of plastering "warnings" all over videos, like this one, that suggest that good nutrition might be beneficial to human health (and frankenfoods like those manufactured by Monsanto, might be harmful).
TED is probably being Inluenced and paid by the farmaca maffia who wants us to pop dangerous poisonous pills for sheer profit. My MOTTO: Whatever WORKS!!
+Nils Osmar Just read the description and you know why: " As she notes in the talk, Dr. Newport's specific medical guidance is
based on ongoing research that has not yet been reviewed or published. " This talk is about a non-reviewed therapy and has not really been published or reviewed. ALso follow the link in the description to see the guidelines. Man if people would just read -.- It even says "read more below" in the warning....
Ted X specifically is assembled by independent interests. As opposed to other Teds like TedMed which is assembled by scientific communities.
So, to cover their butts, tbey have to put extra disclaimers on Ted X talks, because the speakers can claim anything they want, and are not checked for accuracy.
I understand that, but I have yet to see TedX put a "warning" on talks promoting Monsanto, such as the ridiculous, "The case for engineering our food."
Nils: We only need to be allowed see the video. That's enough for me. Leaving well enough alone.
Thankyou for sharing. I admire your courage in dealing with your husbands health challenges, and the positive outcome. A great encouragement to us all. 🙂🌸
It would br great to hear an update on how this ladies husband is now in 2022, if this protocol was continued to date. I'm aware that brain cognition improvements only last for a week once ketone therapy is stopped. This tells us that this approach does not serve to heal the brain but provides only temporary support.
Of course, with not much else in the way of a brain healing alternative as yet, this is the best approach.
This also highlights how responsive the brain can be even with a progressed stage Alzheimer's. Imagine the results & cognitive improvements when the whole system receives the right focused support over time in the way of creating health & healing damage.
I wish I could give Dr. Newport a hug. I so appreciate intelligent people who are determined to find solutions.
Thank you so much for your dedication to study and research this. Everyone has been touched by this heartbreaking disease. Namaste
Thank you for posting this Ted talk this lady is a inspiration for everyone .
This is such an important video!
Thank you for spreading valuable info!
You are a are a wonderful wife and doctor! Your husband is lucky to have you.
I've been using coconut oil exclusively for a couple years now and I have seen my older brain become more clear, but my issue has been acid reflux and coconut oil is wonderful. I don't even have a problem with french fries if it's cooked in it. I highly recommend this. Someone told me about a study that said Coconut oil was bad for people to use. Not true. This is wonderful stuff.
Reducing carbs helps with Acid Reflux as does having fresh ginger and organic orange peel tea. It hekps finding underlying cause and tackling that.
Cider vinegar fixed my acid reflux. Cheap and effective
I think that the root of the problem with acid reflux is not having enough acidophilus and other live bugs in the food. Try live yoghurt to get rid of it permanently. Even better is get Symprove or very high doses of acidophilus etc.
indian eat a lot of coconut because indian culture regards it as god's gift to humanity as it was written in all the scriptures. We, indian people break a coconut, when we pray the god and we offer a broken coconut to god.
@@bharathreddygudibandi492 is their types of coconut oil that are not edible in the markets?? The ones that are used for hair?? Or all can be eaten?????
I'm very grateful to have come across this. Thank-you Dr. Newport. I hope you and your husband are well. You both have left an indelible mark on the lives of many. I will look for the current research (or lack thereof) and will discuss this with my family, friends, and patients as well. 😊❤
Thank you for this information, well done!
Incredible testimony and data! Thank you so much, very validating and will be sharing this asap! Bless you and yours!
Thank you so much! You are an amazing person, the way you followed through on behalf of others! I'm moved and inspired and will share this with anyone I know dealing with a family member with Alzheimers.
God Bless you for sharing, your speech was amazing and heartfelt. Thanks so much for all your painstaking research. Will spread the good news.
God bless this courageous lady for sharing extremely vital knowledge. Proper nutrition is essential to good health and longevity.
Thank you for sharing your great information on optional treatments for Alzheimer’s. Our mom doesn’t realize anything about this terrible disease, but Lord knows the rest of our family suffers on a hour by hour, day to day basis. We can’t wait to try and figure out how to get our mom to try this great idea! Thank you so much!
hi Steven! how did it go with your mother, did she try it?
Dr. Newport states in the talk that 50% of people showed an improvement. That's important to remember. This is not a cure all, but hopefully will open doors for more successful solutions.
+Carla Riggs Like others have said, it is worth a try as there is no other effective, treatment as far as I know. The only danger is denying proven treatment over (unproven) alternative treatment.
NNT = 2
Most of the pharmaceutical drugs have a lower success rate and a lot of side effects
If you compare 50% success with the results of normal drug trials, I believe you will see that 50% is amazingly high compared with most medications.
I relistened to the video and I could find no place where she claimed 50% of people showed improvement. She talked about a mouse study but mice aren't people and she said 2/3 in the mouse trial. I hope she is onto something but keep in mind, most ideas that seem promising don't turn out to be useful.
