Coconut Oil

I believe this is also a key factor in Layla continuing to be tumor free. I had done much research on this oil prior to Layla getting cancer for it's ability to help with IBS and other intestinal problems. I had vaguely remembered from my research that it could cross the Blood/Brain barrier and could feed the brain even if it was starved of glucose, it's normal fuel. Of course glucose also fuels cancer so it seemed beneficial obviously to boost this oil and reduce glucose or increase acetic acid to reduce glucose in the bloodstream. There is tons of research on this and it's ongoing because it has very powerful properties for the brain and is giving hope to those with alzheimers as well.

As part of a ketogenic diet: "Another section of the conference focused on cancer and the ketogenic diet with caloric restriction (20-40% less than maintenance calories). Dr. Tom Seyfried presented his research showing that glioblastomas shrink by as much as 80% in response to this type of diet. He believes that at least 80% of cancerous tumors would shrink with this approach, since most cancers can use only glucose as fuel and cannot use ketones."
