To treat my husband's CBD, he takes 2T coconut oil. Then we added 2t MCT oil (in a small shot of whole milk) every 4 hours. Greatly helps. Started this from info learned from Dr Mary Newport (you tube videos) who explained medium chain triglycerides convert to ketones to give brain an alternate fuel because of low glucose uptake. Helps alot!!!! Going to add CBD oil to regiment (Cannabinoid oil) Please try this and you should see improvement!! We use pure coconut oil but more so we use coconut oil capsules, 16 per dose. Also cook and bake and use on toast in place of butter. Start slowly to avoid stomach upet. Whole milk helps. God bless you.
Thanks for your information. I hope you and your husband are well and healthy. My aunt is CBD and I was searching some suggestions such as your comment. I will try it. Don't hesitate if you have more advices please. Thank you again Madam.
Your discussion has helped me significantly. My husband has been diagnosed with FTD but his symptoms are more like the ones for corticobasal syndrome and progressive supro nuclear palsy. Your discussion helped me to see how FTD and what I see in my husband are inter-related and different also. I am going to share this information with others who have questions about how these two diagnoses relate.
