Does Coconut Oil Help In Treating Aphasia?
My husband has been diagnosed with PPA. He s had it now for over 7 years. I started to add coconut oil to his diet (learning that it has worked well on some AD patients) ... Is there any data out there that show that it improves aphasia? (He does not have Alzheimer s disease). Thanks

Hello,
Coconut oil does not help in aphasia.
You can consult a neurologist and consider drugs like Donepezil.
Detailed evaluation including an MRI scan is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
