Question
our physician says he cant prescribe the combo because of heart  problems    my mom is on nemenda only      is there a problem with the combo in heart patients   and have you heard of virgin coconut oil for dementia?   thanks

Answer
Hi Punki, yes there is a problem with Aricept and heart patients so your physician is correct.  

No I have never heard of virgin coconut oil!  Sounds like another way for someone else to get rich off of people who are desparately seeking help.  Crazy.
