Dr. Kresser talks about a method. The paragraph in question is about 1/2 of the way down.

How much coconut oil should one take daily for brain parasites?

Damo • 6 years ago

Isn't coconut oil actually really bad for you? As well as palm oil (or any oil that stays solid at room temp)?

Never trust anything that Damo says.

Says the man that claims to have cured diabetes. You are all sham artists selling your snake oil to each other.

i believe Caprilyc Acid is the most studied of the four MCTs - and coconut oil has the most. i have to wonder what the OTHER 3 MCTs function is, because while the Caprilyc Acid is lower in goat's milk - the balance of all 4 MCTs is pretty even, and the total MCT amounts might be approximately the same.

Red Palm Oil, is way superior to coconut oil, it protect the brain and the heart at the same time, especially the lining of the artery...

Research? Stats? It's great to make a statement like that, but back it with resources so that we can look into it ourselves.

ACETYL-L-CARNITINE HAS SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS WITH MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES (fatty acids) AS THE EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, etc.,INCREASING THE BRAIN ENERGY and the energy to the whole body. 
BUT ONLY IN VERY SMALL DOSES OF BOTH SUPPLEMENTS , AND ONLY UNDER PHYSICIAN PRESCRIPTION AND SUPERVISION.

Based in :

Article : Carnitine Supplementation and Ketogenesis by Small-For-Date Neonates on Medium- and Long-Chain Fatty Acid Formulae , published in the Journal Bology of Neonate , 2000 ,authors Labadaridis J ., as we can read that :
" Carnitine is a key molecule in energy production from various substrates."
"Although it is generally believed that it plays no role in the metabolism of medium-chain triglycerides, quite a few data exist to the contrary. In the present study we investigated the effect of carnitine on ketogenesis in small-for-date neonates fed formulae of equal caloric value and fat content that was predominantly long-chain triglycerides or medium-chain triglycerides (46% of total fat)."
According to our results there was a statistically significant interaction between carnitine and the chain length of the administered fat with respect to ketone production.'
" Increased ketogenesis was only shown by the neonates receiving medium-chain triglycerides and carnitine. Our results provide further evidence for the involvement of carnitine in medium-chain triglyceride metabolism."
