Genius Foods

Mary’s unique training taught her that she might simply be
able to give her husband coconut oil instead of waiting for
the medical formulation to make it to market.
Mary began giving Steve just over two tablespoons of
coconut oil a day, calculated to the equivalent amount of
MCTs in a dose of the medical food, and then administered
a clock-drawing test, which is sometimes used to assess
cognitive function (anyone with a loved one with dementia
will be all too familiar with this test). After just two weeks
on daily doses of coconut oil, Steve’s clock drawing
improved dramatically. Soon, Mary began cooking with it
and giving it to Steve any chance she could. By the fifth
week, Steve’s clock was night-and-day better than on the
first day.
