MCT oil is made by removing lauric acid from coconut oil.Hi Jay1,
Do you use only coconut oil for your son or buy specific MCT oil or even XCT oil? I found that MCT oil is actually processed and might no be as good as coconut oil itself.... there is a link saying a doctor recommended using 4 tbsp of MCT il mixed with 3 tbsp of coconut oil to get the effect of Keto diet.... I am thinking if i shoul mixed .... but skepticle doing that. how do u feel on that?
Btw, how much mg you give ur 9 yr old for Magnesium?
Do you feel coconut oil will heal the seizure or it needs to take it forever in life? my feel is it will heal but need to be careful for unhealthy foods like fast foods, etx.
I use only cold pressed virgin organic Coconut oil. It will be a big challenge to make a 5 year old to ingest it. Start it with small quantity say one teaspoon in morning and another teaspoon in night. Increase the amount once the body is used to it. Sudden large quantity can cause stomach ache and diarrohea (tested on myself). I have myself started taking two tablespoons of coconut oil twice a day. I feel myself more energetic and focused.
I would not mind giving coconut oil to my son even forever. It is healthy. My 9 year old son gets 6 tablespoon of coconut oil over the entire day - 2 morning, 2 afternoon and 2 in night. He had tummy ache for initial one week but now his body is used to it and does not get tummy ache now.
Magnesium - I have been giving 400 mg magnesium Oxide (Nature Made brand in Costco or Sams Club) for last 5 months.
