My Dad was diagnosed with
Severe Dementia about 7-8 years ago. I still remember the day when he
forgot my name. Ever since then I’ve been praying for him to return to
whom he was, but as time passed he got worse and worse. I saw a very
articulate man go from creative, comical and caring to distraught, lost
and childlike.
He than started having accidents to my
mothers disgust (that was 8 years ago). He was having about 5-6
accidents a day and getting up at all hours of the night. He was going
back in time daily, and even losing the ability to communicate and read.
A friend of mine told me about this
coconut oil and its results and I practically got tears in my eyes (and
I’m a dude haha). So I bought some coconut oil and gave it to my mother
as she cooks all his meals.
I visit every other Saturday, so before I
went I psyched myself up to accept that there would be “no difference”
as my dad is in his 80′s, and I felt he was too far gone. He had been
diagnosed with severe dementia 10 years earlier. Well to my surprise my
mother said he had changed quite a bit, and that he wasn’t getting up as
often at night. And the best part was that she wasn’t complaining about
his antics nearly as much as the past years.
Two weeks later I returned and my father
was far more social, and he even began to tell jokes. He still wasn’t
himself, but a glimse of his former self was there.
I missed going one week but the report
from my sister was good. She called my mom on the phone and my dad
answered. She was surprised that he spoke to her in a way he hadn’t
spoken to her in YEARS. I’m very hopeful, and I gotta say Coconut Oil is
now a part of my routine. It is great in eggs and steamed veggies
(yum!).
I visited the folks this past week and was hoping for more changes, and yes there were.
First off I need to tell you all that my
sister, her husband and child moved in with my folks due to the job
situation. My mother doesn’t like it as the house is small, and she
still gets embarrassed about my dad’s situation, but my dad who has
always been an extrovert loves having more people at home. He was
telling jokes and laughing, giggling…oh what a mess haha! My mother was
telling me that he’s been like that for a couple of days, which is
great, as he really never laughed all that much after the disease hit
him.
I left there feeling very
appreciative of the changes in his life. Those prayers are being
answered, and I’m feeling great. The next day my brother went down to
my folks house and told me that dad did something he hasn’t done in
years – he combed his hair! He is doing things he had not done before.
The coconut oil is working and is having great results in him.
One day I believe he will return to the
person whom he was. The change in him over the 7 weeks has been
far better than I would of hoped for. This diet of coconut oil in
everything he eats has done wonders for him. And my mother didn’t even
complain to me once this week - WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
