    Here is a short article that explains about the MCT oil from coconuts helping get rid of the amyloid plaque in a persons brain that can lead to dementia.
    As I mentioned before, the heart medication that they put me on to help the heart failure blocks the body’s natural way of removing the amyloid plaques, so I have been researching other ways of preventing them, and natural MTC oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides) is important.

    I just ordered some powdered coconut milk from Amazon, and it has the natural MCT oil in it, and I will use that in my coffee and tea instead of adding the coconut oil like I have been doing. The coconut oil is good, but it will not mix in with the coffee or tea unless you put it in a blender first, and the coconut milk powder should just stir into the coffee.

    There is a good choice of coconut milk powders on Amazon, and here is one example, in case anyone wants to try it themself.

    View it, heartwarming.

    I'm sure we have all had a holiday to remember!
    Feel good to share yours.


    Here is a commercial from Chevrolet
    that should put tears to you eyes.
    This can happen to any of us.

    A Holiday to Remember | Chevrolet (5:26 long)

    ___________________________

    Here is a little backstory behind the commercial:

    Chevy's emotional holiday ad features a grandmother with Alzheimer's engaging in reminiscence therapy. Here's how it works.

    Get your tissues out: Chevy’s new Christmas commercial is here, and it might make you weep. It will certainly teach you a bit about a therapy that may help patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions associated with dementia.

    The commercial, which was created with assistance from the Alzheimer’s Association, focuses on an elderly woman suffering from the disease. In it, her granddaughter takes her on a jaunt in a 1972 Chevy Suburban, revisiting places from her youth as they listen to John Denver on an 8-track tape. As a result, the grandmother is able to recall some aspects of her life that initially had seemed lost.

    It's not just a sweet holiday story, though. As the company worked on the ad with the Alzheimer's Association, they “talked a lot about reminiscence therapy,” Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's head of marketing, told Ad Age.
