For Acne:
Coconut or coconut oil can be used both internally and topically to help lower inflammation, depending on where it’s manifesting in your body. The medium chain triglycerides found in both coconut and coconut oil are what gives this super food its anti-inflammatory capabilities.
The caprilic and lauric acid (both medium chain triglycerides) are known to be anti-microbial and help to lower inflammation. This is especially great if you’re suffering from acne.
For Alzheimer’s Disease:
The first thing we should make clear is that not everyone who tries coconut oil with dementia or Alzheimer’s sees the same results as reported in testimonials. Coconut oil, however, does seem to be more effective in those who do not have advanced stages of Alzheimer’s, although we have seen a couple of testimonies for late-stage Alzheimer’s as well.
However if you look at Alzheimer’s disease as “type 3” diabetes and an insulin resistance problem, coconut oil makes a lot of sense, as does a ketogenic high-fat diet. Coconut oil is known as a rich source of ketone energy, supplying an alternate form of energy to the brain. As a matter of fact, pharmaceutical companies are currently trying to develop drugs that mimic the same “ketonic” effect that can be achieved via a high fat diet.
You can put a dessert-spoonful of coconut oil into every meal or coffee you have to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Ketones are considered essential when it comes to brain health. Even as adults, we still need ketones coming into the brain on a regular basis in order to help provide these basic building blocks, so that we can use them to build new brain tissue.
Sometimes you’ll hear the term coconut ketones, and that can get a bit confusing to some people. But basically what it is, normally when your body produces ketones, the ketones are made from stored body fat.
However, coconut oil is really a unique substance. It’s different form other fats in that it’s composed predominantly of what is known as a medium-chain fatty acids. These acids, when consumed in a significant proportion, will automatically be converted into ketones, which you will produce regardless of blood sugar levels.
So, whether you’re on a normal diet or you’re not eating, your body will convert the coconut oil into ketones. These ketones are the same ones that the body produces from stored body fat, or other fats, and have the same potential and health aspects as well.

Since coconut oil can be converted into ketones, it does have a pronounced therapeutic healthful effect on brain health, and for those who already have some degenerative conditions present in their brains, the ketones produced from coconut oil can help prevent them, especially Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s disease isn’t a condition that you suddenly have one day upon waking up. It’s a gradual process, often taking many years to develop. People who develop this mental problem are usually aged 65 or older. Fortunately, you can help prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s, such as adding coconut oil to your diet.
One to three tablespoons a day is a nice maintenance dose, as it can help infuse your body with ketones that will help with normal brain function. Now, when someone gets to the point where they’ve developed a neural degenerative disease, they’ll need a little more help. In such cases, a higher dose of ketones usually does the trick.
For Eye Infection:
I’ve had some luck putting coconut oil on the faces of my kids and more under their eyes. It helps keep their skin less irritable and when wiping of the eyes happens, just rub small amounts of it there. It helped stop conjunctivitis 24 hours later. -Darroll Allart
