Today, I'm straying away from my usual topic Decorating with Cents.
I know I've always been forgetful, but during the past few weeks I realized I was forgetting things constantly, i.e.
I know I've always been forgetful, but during the past few weeks I realized I was forgetting things constantly, i.e.
- Frequently walking into a room and not remembering why I was in the room or what I came into the room for. I know this can happen to anyone but on the weekends, when I was home, it was an almost all day occurrence
- Forgetting simple words, i.e. a colleague and I were discussing different burial procedures, I wanted to tell her that my preference would probably be “cremation” but for the life of me I couldn't remember the word, but what was really scary she, my colleague, said the word and I still couldn't remember it or how to pronounce it (scary)
- Some days sitting at my desk not remembering what I was working on
- Driving and not remembering where I'm going; or driving and not recognizing where I am…
Based on the videos the proper dosage amount is about 2 TBS coconut oil a day; I figured I didn't have Alzheimer but maybe a ‘mild’ case of memory loss so I started with 1 TBS per day but in dosages of 1 tsp in my meals throughout the day, i.e.
- 1 tsp in my morning tea (Looking at oil floating around in my tea cup isn't very appetizing so I try not to look at it while drinking);
- 1 tsp at breakfast in my grits or oatmeal; and
- 1 tsp at dinner in my soup or whatever I decide to have for dinner –
Results so far – my memory is much better, where I use to draw a blank when talking, I can now remember what I want to say or thinking to say; when I'm cleaning or cooking at home I can walk into a room or pantry to get something, or do something, without drawing a "blank"; I don't sit at my desk wondering what I'm suppose to be working on.
The best part I've decided to continue to pursue my studies and it’s amazing how much information I'm retaining, no it hasn't made me super smart, but I have a better grasp of what I'm studying.
It’s only been 3 days since starting the coconut oil treatment (started Jan 28th), perhaps too soon to say much, but my brain feels refreshed, sort of like it was given a breath of fresh air, I can only hope for continued positive results.
Bottom line – even if you don’t have Alzheimer’s, but you find yourself forgetting frequently, perhaps a daily dose of coconut oil could help

After all, there's no sense in me Decorating with Cents when I can't remember what I'm decorating...LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW!
