Know Someone with Dementia?

Or a neurodegenerative disease?  This may help.  And it can't hurt.

Jacques' been taking it for about two weeks.  All I know is that he was getting really loopy, and now he's distinctly less so.  I never know with him "is this a phase or a trend," and when there's a change I never know for sure what's causing it.  It may be a coincidence.  Then again, it may not.

I'm buying a bottle for Mom today.

Hell, I may get a bottle for myself.

It's interesting stuff. A soft solid at room temperature, starts to get liquid above around 80 degrees. Put it on vanilla ice cream, it gets crunchy (quite delicious!). Doesn't mix very well with a cold drink, but nicely with a mildly warm one. We make warm piña coladas and "coconut milk."

Coconut oil also makes an excellent sexual lubricant. Or so I've read.

Slick.

What if the cures for all the big diseases are nutritional? Wouldn't that save Medi-care?

MEADE! Howya'beendoin'?

[Donna B.]

We're going to go buy some, just as soon as we find the car keys.

[Peter Hoh]

We are all fatheads, after all.

Ruth Anne, if there are nutritional cures or preventions for major diseases, how will the politicians make up for the loss of contributions from big pharma?

Put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up!

Here's another, really startling health tip that the drug companies don't like.

This friend of mine who's starting a small foundation is helping to fund clinical trials on this.

A doctor has discovered that if a cancer patient goes on a water fast for approximately three days before and one day after having chemo, the chemo targets cancer cells much more effectively AND LEAVES NORMAL CELLS ALONE. Normal cells slow their metabolism in some self-protective way in response to a fast; cancer cells just get hungrier. They slurp up the chemo; you don't lose hair, you don't get sick.

The fast is a strenuous one so compliance could be a problem, partly because Americans aren't so tolerant of deprivation and partly because cancer patients may feel too weak already to fast. They're trying to devise a nutritional supplement that would make the (semi-)fast easier but preserve the effect.

As for the sexual lubricant idea: would you ever get it all off? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to walk around smelling like ambrosia salad all the time?

[Meade]

Ruth Anne! I've been finer than a frog's whisker split plumb down the middle. And you? Where you been? I've missed you and your excellent puns.

Yes, your friends would all call you 'Pina Colada butt' or something worse perhaps!

[Ron]

As Harry Truman would say Meade, you're a ripe bastard but our ripe bastard!

[Waking up as if from a dream to notice that Technicolor Oz has been replaced with sepia Kansas]: You mean I've been here all along?

Yes, Ruth Anne...If Sarah Palin were in your place, she'd click her heels and say, "There's no place like Nome, There's no place like Nome..."!

But it would be the RNC that would buy the Ruby Slippers, not Palin!

OT: Speilberg owns a pair of the Ruby Slippers, a sled from Citizen Kane, and a Maltese Falcon!

[Meade]

More OT: Hey Ron, Ruth Anne, and everyone - didja hear (I know you did)? Thanks to our misunderestimated CIC, Iraq won!

[Tom Strong]

In many cases it's the best vegan substitute for butter, with an excellent flavor all its own. I once made very good poundcake with it, way back when.

[Ruth Anne]

I had read about V-I Day elsewhere, Meade. My nephew is in Kuwait now and heading for Iraq next week. Now if only Chicago could improve its murder rate! Don't know if it's true or has mere truthiness about it but I heard that the city of Chicago had more murders than the country of Iraq lately.

[PatHMV]

Peter... from Big Agra, of course.

Ruth Anne - Nice. I hope Obama appreciates the change and the Saddam-less Middle East he has inherited due to Bush's willingness to enforce the UN resolutions and use military force to back them up.

My greatest respect and gratitude goes to your nephew and everyone like him willing to pay the price that made this victory possible. In a just world, the portion of the 30% of my income I pay in taxes that go to help bail out Wall Street bankers would instead go directly to our heroic veterans and their families.
