As a outcome of these experiences, I am a strong advocate for a comprehensive approach toward illness management (including FDA-approved drugs, FDA-regulated medical foods, specific vitamins, supplements, extensive dietary together with lifestyle modification, targeted cognitive activities, together with caregiver support).
The handling recommendations I brand to my patients (and to my ain solid unit of measurement members) are supported yesteryear evidence, grounded inwards security together with based on many years of personal sense amongst patients inwards my clinic.
I advocate for the job of the medical nutrient Axona based on my clinical experience, the existing clinical information together with the ongoing studies.

Last week’s questions on Axona exclusively scratched the surface of the complexity of this topic.
See - What is Axona?
As my patients together with their caregivers volition say you, I process every patient inwards my hospital every bit if they were my ain solid unit of measurement members. Because at that topographic point are no scientific studies that bring even together with thus tested the potential effects of the diversity of types of kokosnoot crude inwards Alzheimer’s, I produce non propose it.
Instead, I produce consider Axona since it provides a well-studied, pure together with concentrated dose of the ketone-producing properties institute inwards kokosnoot crude spell eliminating the multitude of triglyceride-elevating components that may move institute inwards these products (which may worsen obesity, diabetes together with additional wellness conditions).
Additionally, kokosnoot crude is non regulated nor standardized together with the sum of kokosnoot crude a patient would bespeak to buy to arrive at the same degree of caprylic triglyceride levels institute inwards Axona could drive increased side effects together with would move to a greater extent than expensive than a 30-day provide of Axona.
Since Axona requires a prescription yesteryear the treating physician, it ensures that therapy volition move along nether medical supervision, which is an of import cistron inwards ensuring security during use. Until farther enquiry is completed, inwards my clinical exercise I prescribe Axona instead of kokosnoot oil, for all of these reasons.
Recent enquiry shows that Alzheimer’s may move effectively managed through diet together with nutrition, together with these non-drug dietary approaches that residuum security amongst scientific evidence are essential considerations for comprehensive management.
Last month, enquiry was presented at the international Clinical Trials inwards Alzheimer’s illness coming together inwards Monte Carlo, Monaco. My colleagues (Drs. Ochner, Barrios, Lee, Greer) together with I identified clinical trials together with additional studies addressing the relation betwixt dietary practices together with retentiveness function.
Evidence (focusing on clinical trials) surrounding the job of dietary interventions for the prevention together with handling of Alzheimer’s together with mild cognitive terms (MCI) was rated as: Strong, Moderate, Weak or Insufficient for several dietary areas (J Nutrition Health & Aging. Vol 16:9; ix November 2012).
We concluded that due to the lack of empirical evidence together with potential for adverse effects, at this fourth dimension at that topographic point is Insufficient evidence (meaning, non plenty enquiry has currently been done even together with thus to prove) for kokosnoot crude for Alzheimer’s.
Ultimately, at that topographic point remains a clear bespeak for farther scientific evaluation. For to a greater extent than of a straight off comparing betwixt the differences betwixt Axona together with kokosnoot oil, thought the nautical chart below.
