Coconut Oil For Parkinsons Disease...

[Dinger2]

I was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease in august 2013 Iam on 8x madopar ,1 x Ragasiline and 1x 6mg rotigatine patch per day. I have 3-4 of the major symptoms but thankfully no tremor, in the last 4-6 weeks I have been suffering a fair amount of pain in both hamstrings so I am stepping up my exercise/swimming to try and combat what could be P/D related rigidity of the muscles.
I recently read that COCONUT OIL is really good for relieving Parkinsons symptoms I have bought a jar today Does anybody out in A.B.land know anything about this discovery ? Iam very excited, can anyone tell me how and in what quantities to take it ?also any cheap sources as it is very expensive although I will gladly pay whatever it costs if all the benefits claimed materialise

Asian grocers might sell coconut oil cheaply.

Alternatively, this firm offers free express delivery on orders over £29.99, so you could buy (say) a dozen half-litre jars, making 6 litres in total, for £34.68:
