Sorry to hear that. The problem is that a certain form of protein, the so-called Alpha-Synoclein, forms plaques along neurons and neural cells. These plaques are so far not known to be removable, but there is much research going on in this direction. Further progression of the symptoms maybe can be influenced by nutrition indeed.

Often mentioned are:

- antioxidants and inflammation-inhibiting foods,
- Omega-3s,
- vitamine E,
- D,
- and certain vitamins of the B-complex (conflicting data on the Bs).

Recommended are:

- ketogenic or
- so-called mediterranean diet styles,
- means: avoid carbohydrates, the less carbs, the better. Of course, that includes refined sugar. Carbohydrates are a top inflammator.
- Avoid plant seed oils at all cost, these things should be banned in general. They too are a top inflammator. Maybe even worse than sugars.
- Use healthy fats like olive oil, animal fats, butter, MCTs, avocado oil, coconut oil.

- Avoid ultra-processed industrial "food".
- And finally EAT WELL! Both these demntia cna be heavily caused and worstend both by under-eating at higher age, which is quite common in elder people, or malnutrition in younger years, putting stuff into your body that trigger and pamper the development of these plaques. Eat good stuff, and eat well, sufficient (meaning quantity).


Coconut oil holds potential to really impact positively on neural degeneration symptoms, as long as the neuron is not completely dead already. The studies rejecting this and came to my knowledge used hilariously low and thus therapeutically inefficient doses. Its worth a try, I say.

You will probably not be able to stop the progression of both deseases, but maybe you find you can slow it down. A try is worth it since it costs you nothing and includes no additional risk.

A Lewy Body Dementia shares symptoms with Alzheimer, thus both get often misdiagnosed, the one taken for the other.

I say again, the attempt of trying this is free and costs you practically nothing. The risks are in my view non existent. Success is not guaranteed, but then: you also have nothing to lose when trying it.

Have courage, stay committed!
