There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US

Coconut oil



I finally found some coconut oil soft gels on-line . 120 for around $14 after shipping and handling. Than I found some at Wal-mart for $10 after I already ordered the others . They are larger pills only need to take one a day according to directions and the ones online want you to take 4 . I can't remember how many were in the bottle at Wal-mart. I would say 50 maybe but still cheaper than the 4 a day.



I have to poke a hole in them and put in moms drink. It is easy but can be messy. Watch out you might get squirted. Not good for your pretty blouses and clean spot free t-shirts.



We are both taking them. I need all the help I can get.

    I wish we had gave it to mom earlier. But I feel it will not help her now.

    David's been taking Axona (which is coconut oil, only prescription) for over a month now. The doctor said he's seen it help some people after 45 days of taking it. I know we're always hoping and praying for any help we can get.....I'm glad you found some for you and your mom.
    Hugs,
    Dolores

    Karen, you might want to check Vitamin World also. If you become a memeber of their club, you get really great discounts.

    I can't see that a pill cutter would help for the liquid gel caps either!
