It doesn't say how old her husband is, but she is 56, and he looks a similar age. And his symptoms began *6 years ago*. Scary. My mom was only in her mid-50s when she began her own decline into dementia. Of course I could probably never have gotten her to take coconut oil. I sure can't get my dad to do anything like take cocnut oil - and he lives on a diet probably more than 50% comprised of white flour and sugar. And while, at 81, he still lives on his own - he is increasingly a bit forgetful, unsteady in his walking, blue and depressed.

I can't help but feel a change in diet would make a big difference for me, but with me 550 miles away I know it will never happen.
