Virgin coconut oil’s medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) have different healing actions on many areas of the body. We saw how it produces powerful ketogenic effects on the brain cells (neurons). Ketones improve and could reverse once thought to be hopeless conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), personality disorders. VCO also enhances cognitive skills as was shown in recent studies done by Dr. Newport. Depressive and mental disorders could also benefit from the oil.
According to studies, the MCTs in the oil cause the body to produce ketones, which help to feed brain cells that are unable to uptake glucose. Giving neurons alternative fuel may assist in treating mental illnesses and personality disorders as well as enhancing mental clarity and cognitive performance. A study published in the Journal of Neurobiology of Aging showed that a single dose of coconut oil gave immediate positive cognitive response and memory improvements in older people with memory issues compared to the placebo group.
Through its ketogenic cleansing, virgin coconut oil (VCO) can also starve cancer cells, which thrive on sugar and fermented amino acids. Cancer chokes body cells and coconut oil’s potent ketogenic effect starves cancer cells to death.

Healthy fats in olive and coconut oils, avocados, nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashew, fish oils, seeds such as, flax seeds, chia, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds), legumes, and whole grains are required by the body and brain for their healthy essential fatty acids, whether they are monounsaturated fatty acids, medium chain triglycerides, or omega-3 or -6 fats (polyunsaturated fatty acids). The brain (80 percent fat) and the body need them to make neurotransmitters and hormones (for the glandular and reproductive systems) and for other uses and functions. Each kind offers different benefits to achieve optimum health and performance. Even healthy individuals can benefit from them.
