Another cheap help is turmeric.
There have been a number of studies on it, and it's a good reason to learn to cook Indian cuisine I think. It goes well with coconut too. One interesting thing was when they gave turmeric to college students, the students did better on tests, so it appears to help cognitive function for everyone!

I appreciate the info provided by Rick regarding his experimentations.
I had read the earlier Peskin work because I was interested with Omega 3 and it's benefits regarding dementia as i take care of my 80 plus year old parents. At my Mom's neurologist today, I asked him if he had any other ideas of non-prescription item which could help them, as the earlier recommendation of St. John's wort (anti-depressant) had been a great help for an inexpensive herbal product. He recommended that I give them a T of coconut oil every day and seemed to be very enlightened to recommend something beyond the the pricey alzheimer's drugs of Namenda and Exelon Patch and then gave me 5 weeks of Patch samples.
The Dr. said, "they can't make money off of coconut oil", which I took as stating the pricey Alzheimr's drugs probably weren't much more effective than the $8 /quart coconut oil I get at Kroger's.
After reading Peskin' warning about fish oil, I wonder where Rick is sourcing his Hemp oil, Pumpkin seed oil, as Omega 3 supplements?
I continue to be a big fan of fasting combined with low carb to keep insulin levels low as suggested by Gary Taubes.
A very good article:
