<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">There
is a tiny worm that may tell us a big story about ketones. Called </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Caenorhabditis </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">elegans, or C. elegans for short, this is a
transparent free-living nematode (roundworm) less than 1/8 inch long (1 mm)
that moves like a snake. The worm lives only about 2 to 3 weeks and emits a
blue fluorescence when it dies. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is one
of the simplest organisms that has a nervous system, consisting of 302 neurons
(brain cells) and has been used extensively since 1963 in medical research.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Every type of cell in this worm has been thoroughly
studied and its entire genome has been mapped out.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">C.elegans is a regular passenger on space
flights and on the space station and actually survived the space shuttle
Columbia disaster in 2003.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">It has been
used to study conditions like nicotine addiction, effects of zero gravity on
muscle atrophy, sleep and aging.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So,
what does this have to do with ketones? A
recent research study using C.elegans strongly suggests that ketones extend lifespan
and have anti-aging effects. As we age,
our cells deteriorate, often leading to chronic medical conditions and brain
diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Dietary restriction of calories slows
the process of aging down and increases the lifespan of many organisms including
primates and C.elegans. Dietary restriction is known to increase ketone levels
and this could at least partly explain its effects on prolonging life. Researchers in the anti-aging field look for
substances that mimic dietary restriction and lead to longer lifespan and delay
the onset of diseases of aging. It turns
out that the ketone betahydroxybutyrate, found in ketone salts (marketed by the
Pruvit company), is one of those anti-aging substances. Medium-chain
triglycerides (MCT) found in coconut oil, palm kernel oil and MCT oil, partly
convert to betahydroxybutyrate as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
2015, researchers at the University of South Florida published their study in
which they found that high levels of D-betahydroxybutyrate extended the
lifespan of C.elegans by 26% and that this effect was likely due, at least in
part, to suppressing certain enzymes involved in inflammation and damage from
reactive oxygen species. They then studied the effects of betahydroxybutyrate
on models of the worm that were engineered to represent Alzheimer’s disease and
Parkinson’s disease. They further found that
betahydroxybutyrate delayed the onset of signs of Alzheimer’s in the worm by
15% and also delayed the formation of clumps of the abnormal protein found in
Parkinson’s disease by 35%. The bottom line here is that
betahydroxybutyrate prolonged the lifespan and was found to protect brain cells
in the worm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
an article published in 2017, Dr. Richard L. Veech and his associates at the
National Institutes of Health further explain how these findings in C.elegans might
be translated to prolonging human lifespan and delaying effects of aging on the
brain. The likely ketone effects
involved include anti-inflammatory effects, reduction of damage from reactive
oxygen species, and reducing levels of glucose and insulin. My summary here is just a simple explanation
for the very technical, complicated biochemistry involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We
gigantic humans share many of the same chemical pathways as C. elegans,
including those studied in the University of South Florida experiments. Do ketones
have anti-aging effects? Based on the
latest information from studying this little worm, the answer to this question appears
to be yes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

AHA ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON DIETARY FATS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The media has irresponsibly taken viral a fragment of
information purporting that coconut oil may be bad for your heart from an
article published in the medical journal "Circulation" 2017,
135:e1-24, as a presidential advisory committee report from the AHA,
"Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease". The coconut oil industry
on the other side of the world, mainly comprised of small farmers who grow and
sell their coconuts, is reeling from the effects of this latest careless media
campaign. They have only recently been recovering from the previous advisory
put forth by the AHA. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There are some serious problems with the conclusions of the
advisory committee. The four "core studies" this committee relied on
were all conducted in the 1950s, were relatively small groups of "men
only" in three of the four studies, were conducted in populations that
almost certainly were not consuming coconut oil on any regular basis, and were
studies comparing diets with ANIMAL saturated fats to diets with
polyunsaturated fats. Animal and human fat is well known to store hormones,
pesticides, antibiotics and other environmental substances, which could be
factors in heart disease, whereas vegetable fats such as coconut oil would not
be so likely to contain these potentially harmful substances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The authors do not mention whether age and smoking were
controlled for in these studies; smoking, which was very prevalent in the 1950s
compared to the 2010's is a major contributor to heart disease. The raw numbers
of how many people in each group had cardiac events was not presented, making
the summaries difficult to evaluate. The clincher in this article is that they
state on page e13, under the section on coconut oil, "Clinical trials that
compared direct effects on CVD [cardiovascular disease] of coconut oil and
other dietary oils have not been reported." They rely on studies of
individual saturated fatty acids that show a miniscule increase in LDL (so
called "bad") cholesterol but rationalize away a similar small
increase in HDL (so called "good") cholesterol and an improved LDL to
HDL ratio. For example, lauric acid (50% of coconut oil) resulted in a less
than 1 mg/dl point increase in both LDL and HDL cholesterol, with typical LDL
values ranging from less than 100 to 160 mg/dl. Could a change of less than 1
mg/dl really have that much impact?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In addition, the problem here is that natural fats such as
coconut oil and even lard do not come as individual fatty acids but rather as
combinations of many fatty acids with different properties, which may balance
each other out. Completely ignored in this report are the saturated fats in
coconut oil known as medium chain triglycerides that could balance out the
longer chain fats. Coconut oil also contains some mono- and polyunsaturated
fats, tauted as healthy by this committee. One of the most important details
that the AHA is missing here is that 70% of the saturated fats in coconut oil
are medium chain triglycerides (C6 through C12) which are either converted to
ketones or burned immediately as fuel by muscle and other organs and not stored
as fat. Lauric acid has some properties of medium chain and longer chain fatty
acids. Ketones come from breakdown of fat and provide an alternative fuel to
the brain and most other organs during starvation or fasting or to cells that
are insulin resistant. In a recent study conducted in Japan, lauric acid was
found to potently stimulate ketone production in astrocytes in cultures;
astrocytes are brain cells that nourish other brain cells. By comparison,
butter, lard and animal fat contain minimal medium chain triglycerides and
medium chains are not found in soybean, olive, corn, safflower and most other
oils. There are hundreds of studies of potential benefits of coconut oil; for
example, lauric acid, which makes up about 50% of coconut oil, is antimicrobial
- there are numerous studies showing that lauric acid kills many bacteria,
viruses, fungi like candida and protozoa. Lauric acid is not found in any
significant amount in soybean, corn, canola and olive oils.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A few small cholesterol studies looking at coconut oil were
conducted decades ago in animals or a few men over short term and used
hydrogenated coconut oil - any hydrogenated oil will increase cholesterol.
Also, the diets were deficient in omega-3 fatty acids which can also increase
cholesterol levels. There are studies of entire populations for whom coconut
oil provides 1/3 to 2/3 of the diet showing that they were of normal height and
weight, had normal blood pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol levels at all
ages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The committee surmises that people who eat saturated fats likely
have other bad eating habits without any proof. These days, many, if not most,
of the people who embrace coconut oil are likely embracing healthier foods as
well and a healthier lifestyle in general and eating fish and/or taking omega-3
fats, which weren’t on the radar in the 1950s when the so-called “core studies”
for this report were conducted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The folks in the AHA and other organizations who perpetuate
these myths about coconut oil need to really do their homework and learn more
about medium chain triglycerides and study the other beneficial effects of
coconut oil, which they choose to ignore. The point that some people may
benefit from eating more polyunsaturated fat in place of animal fat may be very
valid. However, coconut oil is not animal fat and, nevertheless, the bottom
line that came out of their lengthy report is that “coconut oil is bad for your
heart”, which has now been perpetuated by media who jumped on this conclusion
that is not even based on direct research of coconut oil and heart disease.
This message has gone viral worldwide. The impact of this could take a
devastating toll on the economies of countries that produce coconut oil, mostly
made up of individual farmers and their families trying to make a living. These
economies were devastated in the 1960s and have been slowly recovering from the
initial similar AHA statement on saturated fats in 1961 based on the same four
“core studies". It is irresponsible and unconscionable for this advisory
committee to make such sweeping claims without direct proof that coconut oil
causes heart disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

their report has already had on the communities on the other side of the world,
and issue a clarification that there is no direct proof that coconut oil has a
negative effect on the heart. Then the committee needs to figure out how to
make the clarification statement go viral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

COMBINING
KETONE SALTS WITH A LOW CARB DIET TO LOSE FAT<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While my highest priority is to increase awareness of ketones as alternative fuel for the brain for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, reducing sugar in the diet can help support that. Also, there are very many people dealing with being overweight to obese and/or with type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of developing dementia later in life. So embracing a low carb ketogenic lifestyle could go a long way to reducing the risk and improve health overall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until about thirty years ago, if you wanted to lose weight, the
doctor would likely tell you to cut down on sweets and starchy foods. Then
along came the concept of the “low fat diet” based on, what has turned out to
be, flawed research. Rates of obesity and
diabetes in the USA and many other countries have been steadily climbing ever
since. Added sugar in the diet has increased from about 6 pounds per person per
year in the early 1800’s to more than 130 pounds now for the average person in
the USA. That is a lot of extra sugar! For most people, eating a low fat diet
turns into eating a high carbohydrate (sugar) diet, and eating too much sugar
is a big problem for many reasons (which will be the subject of another blog post).
When you eat sugary foods, your body will crave more sugar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So the simplest way to think of a low carb diet is to…cut
down on sweets and starchy foods! These
include the obvious sweets like candy, pies and cakes, added sugars (including
agave and honey), starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn and peas, rice and
other grains, anything made with wheat or rice flour (breads, pasta, pastries,
crackers, cookies, cereals, pancakes, muffins), fruit juices and most fruits.
Berries such as blueberries and strawberries are relatively low in sugar, so
would be good choices in limited amounts.
Aiming for less than 50 grams per day is reasonable and will support
ketosis for most people. Dropping to
less than 20 grams per day for the first 2 or 3 weeks can hasten fat
burning. You can accomplish this by
getting most of your carbs from vegetables and perhaps choosing ¼ to ½ cup of
berries or a slice of whole grain bread or ¼ cup of whole grain rice per day as
part of a meal. See <b>Carb</b> <b>Chart</b> below.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your body needs a certain amount of protein to maintain muscle
and other lean tissues, especially while on a fat losing diet, but if you eat
too much protein, some of it may be converted to sugar. Our goal is to lose
fat, not muscle. The best way to
accomplish this is to adopt a ketogenic diet, which is a diet that raises
levels of ketones. This is a diet that
is low in carbs and higher in fat, with just enough protein to maintain our
muscle mass. With a ketogenic diet, we
switch from mainly burning glucose (sugar) for fuel to burning fat, and do not
have to tap into muscle so much to compensate for eating fewer calories. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Supplementing with ketone salts, can enhance fat burning by
raising ketone levels even more. Ketones lower glucose levels, which lowers
insulin levels (insulin puts and keeps fat on our bodies), and ketones also
stimulate fat burning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A reasonable amount of protein per day for most people is ½ gram
for each pound that you weigh. So that would be 75 grams of protein for someone
who weighs 150 pounds. 75 grams of protein provides about 300 calories. A couch
potato might need less and an athlete or body builder might need up to twice as
much. See <b>Protein Chart</b> below. Think
of 3 ounces of meat or fish as about the size of a deck of cards.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One very important part of ketogenic/low carb dieting often
overlooked is eating enough fat, which will help keep ketone levels elevated
and promote burning fat as our primary fuel.
Medium chain triglycerides are converted by the liver to ketones, so
ketone levels can be enhanced by adding MCT oil and coconut oil, which is 60%
MCTs to the diet. Some other sources of
healthy fats include olive oil, olives, avocados, nuts and nut butters or
milks. If you like cow or goat milk and
milk products like yogurt or soft cheeses, choose full fat versions, which
contain some MCTs, and look for no added sugar.
A reasonable goal is to aim for between 60 and 100 grams of fat per day,
which equates to 540 to 900 calories per day – the higher the percent of fat as
the total calories in the diet, the higher you can expect your ketone levels to
be. A tablespoon of oil contains about
14 grams of fat, one large avocado has 27 grams of fat and an ounce of nuts (a
small handful) has about 10 to 15 grams. Check package labels for milk and milk
products.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And don’t forget your vegetables! Vegetables contain carbohydrates but most are
high in important fiber and they are a great source of many vitamins and other
important nutrients. Eliminate or minimize the starchy vegetables like white
and sweet potatoes, corn and peas. Include at least two cups of leafy green
vegetables (1-2 grams of carbs total) and several servings per day of various
colors of other fresh veges such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peppers,
onions, tomatoes, squash. Most of these vegetables contain 2 to 4 grams of
non-fiber carbs per one-half to one cup servings. Frozen veges are nearly as
good as fresh as far as providing nutrients. Organic is even better.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Get rid of tempting high carb foods from your home. Plan out your meals for several days at a
time and shop for the foods you will need. Keep a record of what you are eating
to keep you honest and help you find problems and tweak the diet if you aren’t
losing weight. Get a good book that will give you total calorie and gram counts
for carbs, fat and protein. Find your favorite foods and write them down for
easy reference. There are also great
books and websites available now to support ketogenic dieting with tasty
recipes for meals, snacks and some amazing desserts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Consider adding coconut oil and/or MCT oil to coffee or tea
in the morning to get off to a ketogenic start. Pruvit KetoKreme is a delicious
and easy way to accomplish this.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Use a ketone salt supplement, such as Pruvit KetoMax or
Keto//OS, to increase ketone levels. Ketones have been shown in studies to
promote fat burning and suppress appetite as well. Drink plenty of water 8 to
10 glasses per day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eat only when you are hungry and stop when you begin to feel
full. Think mainly protein, vegetables, and oil for your meals. Consider low carb snacks once or twice a day
such as cheese, nuts, coconut milk or almond milk, or veges with cream cheese
or high fat dip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You might not need to count calories to be successful, but
if you do, aim for between 1250 and 1600 calories per day depending on how big
you are. If you are starting out at more
than 250 to 300 pounds, you might even lose weight on 1800 to 2000 calories per
day. As you lose weight you can adjust the calories downward to keep losing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aim for 20 to 50 grams of carbs per day, mainly as
vegetables, ½ gram of protein per day for each pound that you weigh (or more if
you are an active athlete), and 60 to 90 grams of fat per day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Go one step further and add exercise to your plan. A recent study by Dr. Stephen Cunnane and
associates reported that 30 minutes of walking three days per week can triple
ketone uptake in the brain! </div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-weight: normal;">BURNING FAT THROUGH KETOSIS – </span></h1>
<h1 align="center" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-weight: normal;">A SIMPLE EXPLANATION</span></h1>
<div align="center" class="Byline" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
Ketones act as a very basic fuel that can be
used by nearly all of the cells in our bodies to produce the energy molecule
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is needed by every single cell to carry out
its functions. Our cells can easily switch between using glucose (sugar) and
ketones as fuel. As living beings, our metabolism is an extremely complex
process involving hundreds of pathways and thousands of chemical reactions that
operate on a continuous basis 24/7. While most organs in our bodies can use fatty
acids (breakdown products of fat) as fuel, fatty acids don’t easily cross over
into the brain. During fasting or
starvation our energy hungry brains are especially dependent on the ability to
use ketones as an alternative fuel. Without the availability of glucose or ketones
as fuel to drive metabolism, we just simply wouldn’t exist.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
But ketones are much more than fuel, not to diminish
how important that is. Ketones also enter
other pathways in our metabolism. One of those has to do with BURNING FAT. When we eat more food than we need, we store
fat. Insulin is key in making this
happen. When we eat carbohydrates
(sugary and starchy foods), insulin levels rise, which allows glucose to enter
cells to act as fuel. But insulin has
many other functions and is a key player in depositing fat on our bodies and
keeping it there. This is a big problem for people who are prediabetic or have
type II diabetes since they struggle with insulin resistance and tend to have
very high insulin levels. Very many
people have insulin resistance and just don’t know it. It can be extremely difficult to lose weight
when insulin resistance is involved. When it comes to fat, ketones <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="KVWin_undoend"></a>have the opposite effect of insulin by directly
promoting the breakdown of fat to be burned as fuel. Ketones also lower blood sugar and
consequently lower insulin levels as well, making it easier to burn fat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
Taking exogenous ketones, especially when
combined with a low carbohydrate, higher fat diet, will help shift us from burning
glucose to burning to fat. People often lose muscle when they are on a typical
high carbohydrate, low fat diet to lose weight because they will convert
certain proteins in muscle to glucose. However, this is much less likely to
happen with using a ketogenic strategy to burn fat, because there will be less
need to use glucose as fuel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
As an added benefit, ketones signal the brain
that our stomachs are full and appear to suppress the hormones that make us
feel hungry. How could it be any easier?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextFirstIndent">
Pruvit Keto//OS and KetoMax contain the very
important ketone beta hydroxybutyrate and many people find it easier to burn
fat when taking ketone salts as a nutritional supplement. If losing fat is your goal, combine ketone salts with a lower carbohydrate higher fat diet. Using coconut oil and MCT oil in your food can further support and sustain ketosis. Take it one step further
and add vigorous exercise to the equation (which also raises ketone levels!) to find your best formula for burning fat.<o:p></o:p><br />

USING PRUVIT KETONE
SALTS IN THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
by Mary T. Newport,
M.D.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
receive emails and Facebook messages from many people who are using or want to
use ketone salts for themselves or their loved ones, many of whom are elderly
or may have medical conditions and want to make their life better. Here is some guidance for how to get started
with ketone salts:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HOW KETONES COULD HELP</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pruvit
ketone salts are nutritional supplements and have not been evaluated or
approved by the FDA to treat any medical condition. On the other hand, there is plenty of
scientific evidence that raising ketones can provide alternative fuel to the
brain, reduce inflammation, and burn fat.
Many people report increased energy, endurance, focus and mental clarity,
improved mood and sleep, fewer aches and pains, and fat loss.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As with
any nutritional supplement, it is important for elderly people and people with
medical conditions to consult with their physician before using ketone salts. The doctor could monitor your blood pressure
and check blood levels of electrolytes, glucose and minerals (calcium, phosphorus,
magnesium) before you get started and after 3 to 6 weeks or so. Pruvit ketone salts are the first product
marketed widely to the public that contains the actual ketone body betahydroxybutyrate
attached to the mineral salts sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Many people need to watch their sodium
intake, may be on diuretics that may cause loss of minerals from the body, and/or
may be taking potassium. Keto//OS 2.1
and 3.0 have 1400 mg to 1600 mg per serving packet (or full scoop if you have a
can of product). Keto//OS 3.0 (chocolate
swirl) also has 490 mg of potassium, compared to just 47 mg in Keto//OS 2.1
(orange dream). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another
option to reduce sodium and potassium intake with ketone salts is to use
KetoMax, which contains much less sodium per full serving at 925 mg and minimal
potassium at 75 mg. Another great reason
to use KetoMax is that it contains a higher percentage of the circulating form
of betahydroxybutyrate and may be even more effective than Keto//OS. I recommend KetoMax especially for people
with medical and neurologic conditions such as Parkinson’s, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.
It costs more but the value is there. Your doctor or a dietician can help you
factor the mineral salts into your diet and adjust, for example, your potassium
supplement to account for the amounts in ketone salts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People
with diabetes taking medications and/or insulin need to be aware that raising
ketone levels with ketone salts may result in a significantly lower blood sugar
along with a drop in the amount of insulin the body produces. To avoid abnormally
low blood sugar, I recommend that you monitor your blood sugar closely and work
with your doctor to make changes in your medications. Many diabetics report that they are able to
reduce their medications, including insulin, rather quickly over days to
several weeks, especially if using ketone salts is combined with a low
carbohydrate diet. Pruvit ketone salts contain minimal sugar and are sweetened
with stevia and/or erithritol, a sugar alcohol.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Regarding diabetic ketoacidosis,
this is an abnormal condition that occurs with very elevated blood sugar and
inadequate insulin.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Levels of ketones
are many times (20 to 50 times higher) than the levels you would get by taking

START SLOWLY AND INCREASE AS TOLERATED<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While
it is tempting to start with a whole serving in hopes of seeing maximum
benefits right away, I recommend in elderly people and those with medical
conditions, to start with 1 or 2 level teaspoons per day, which would be equal
to about 1/8 to 1/4 of a serving, and if there is no issue, such as intestinal
distress, you could increase by the same amount every few days until arriving
at ½ to 1 full serving per day. The
total amount could be divided into smaller portions throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also,
it is very important that the person taking ketone salts take plenty of water
and other clear liquids. Ketone salts
can have a dehydrating effect in some people, especially in the beginning.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ketones
can suppress appetite, which is great if you need to lose weight. If you are very thin you might consider
adding more calories to your diet with calorie dense foods such as coconut oil,

BRING THESE GUIDELINES TO YOUR DOCTOR<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ketone
salts are so new that most doctors don’t know about them yet much less the
potential of ketones to provide alternative fuel to the brain and other organs,
reduce inflammation, and burn fat. I
suggest that you take a copy of these guidelines to your doctor. Many doctors decide to pass this information
on to other patients when they see improvement in just one of their
patients. Some doctors may even decide
to help their patients by providing ketone salts as samples or ordering them
through their office.<o:p></o:p></div>

BIOCHEMISTRY 101: WHAT ARE KETONES AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you
are new to the world of ketones and ketone salts, you might have a very basic
question, what are ketones and where they come from? So we will start with a lesson from
biochemistry 101 that I will try to make as simple as possible. The word “ketone”
comes from the German word “keton” meaning acetone, which is your basic
fingernail polish remover! This is the very same acetone that is one of the
three basic ketone bodies produced in our bodies (I will talk more about that
later). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Atoms” are the basic particles of
matter. The basic atoms in living matter are oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Atoms are connected to each other by “bonds”
that are sort of like magnetic attractions.
When two or more atoms are connected, they are called “molecules”.
Glucose (sugar), fats and ketones are made of different combinations of oxygen,
hydrogen and carbon. The carbon atoms line up in a chain and the hydrogen and
oxygen atoms attach to the carbon atoms.
The positions of the atoms in a molecule determine what it does in the
body. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Glucose starts with a chain of six
carbons with hydrogens and oxygens attached to them and is the main fuel for
the cells in our body when we are on a higher carbohydrate diet. Betahydroxybutyrate is one of the three
ketones made in the body and starts with a chain of four carbons with hydrogens
and oxygens attached. There are two forms of betahydroxybutyrate that have a
different shape – the simplest way to think of them is as mirror images. D-betahydroxybutyrate
is found mainly in the bloodstream and L-betahydroxybutyrate is found mainly in
mitochondria where energy, called ATP, is produced in our cells. There are two
other ketones, one called acetoacetate and the other called acetone (finger
nail polish remover!), which evaporates easily and is mostly exhaled. Acetone accounts for the fruity breath people may
have when they are in ketosis (meaning when blood ketone levels are elevated).
Acetoacetate converts easily to betahydroxybutyrate and vice versa.
Acetoacetate also breaks down to acetone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Endogenous ketones are ketones that
originate inside of our bodies. The most common way that we experience ketosis
is when we do not eat for 10 or 12 hours overnight; we will often be in mild
ketosis in the morning until we eat something with carbohydrates (sugar) in it.
Ketosis becomes much more pronounced over days to weeks in people who are
fasting intentionally, starving, or on a high-fat low-carbohydrate diet. In this situation, we begin breaking down fat
into fatty acids after the glucose that is stored in our body is used up,
usually within 36 to 48 hours. These relatively large fatty acids do not cross
very well into the brain, however they are broken down in the liver to ketones.
The cool thing about ketones is that they do cross the blood brain barrier and
provide fuel to the cells in our brain as well as in our other organs (except in
the liver where they are made). Both glucose and ketones enter the same chemical
pathway that leads to producing ATP, however ketones enter this pathway several
steps downstream from where glucose enters. Because of this, ketones can serve
as an alternative fuel to the brain and other organs when there is a problem
using glucose for fuel. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Exogenous ketones originate from
outside of the body. Pruvit ketone salts, Keto//OS and KetoMax, are natural exogenous
ketones and are the first products to be widely marketed to the public that
contain the actual ketone betahydroxybutyrate! <o:p></o:p></div>

KETONE SALTS EXPLAINED<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ketone salts AKA Keto//OS were
developed and tested at the University of South Florida in the labs of
Dr.Dominic D’Agostino and have just become widely available in 2016 through
network marketing by Pruvit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ketone salts are carefully
formulated and contain the actual ketone betahydroxybutyrate bound to sodium,
calcium and magnesium and can increase ketone levels much higher than coconut
or MCT oil and could bring about even more improvement. Using ketone salts
could be part of the overall strategy to raise ketones, keeping coconut and MCT
oil as the foundation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ketone salts are now
widely used by people with a variety of conditions who are reporting positive
responses, including brain fog, memory impairment, sleep problems, low energy,
and conditions caused by inflammation (ketones
are anti-inflammatory in addition to providing alternative fuel to the brain
and other organs). Many people have reported
substantial fat loss, especially when combined with a low carb diet and without
hunger (ketones can suppress appetite and encourage fat loss by reducing
glucose and insulin levels and stimulating fat breakdown). World class athletes and body builders are
using ketone salts to enhance physical performance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A healthy person could
take a full serving of Pruvit KetoOS or KetoMax right away. For elderly people
or those with chronic medical conditions I recommend getting doctor's approval,
so that electrolytes can be monitored and I suggest starting slowly - 1 or 2
teaspoons once or twice a day and increasing gradually over a week or two as
tolerated to 1/2 to 1 serving daily, or more as tolerated. Also very
important - the person taking the salts needs to be able to drink plenty of
fluids to avoid a dehydrating effect of raising ketones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The KetoOS 2.1 orange
dream flavor is the ketone betahydroxybutyrate PLUS MCT oil powder with mild oragne
flavor and stevia. Works well in hot or cold drink - tea (cold or hot),
water or sparkling water. I know someone who doesn't like it as a drink
but puts it into Jello!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The KetoOS 3.0 chocolate
swirl has a light chocolate flavor and contains the ketone betahydroxybutyrate
but NO MCT. It does contain certain amino acids that help maintain muscle
mass.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The KetoMax is Hawaiian
punch flavor and is probably the best at elevating ketone levels the highest.
Can be used in cold or hot drinks. It is the more bio-available form of
betahydroxybutyrate called the D-form. Also has no
MCT. KetoMax will be coming out in a “hot cocoa” flavor soon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
KetoKreme is a combination
of coconut and MCT powder (no betahydroxybutyrate) with stevia and cinnamon
that you can put into a warm drink like coffee or tea. I use this one
myself in the morning in coffee and love it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The most economical way to
buy the ketone salts is a 30 day serving supply in a can which comes with a one
serving scoop. One scoop contains about 8 level teaspoons of the ketone
salt powder, so if someone starts with one or two teaspoons as their serving
the can could potentially last quite a bit longer than a month. For more information you can link through my

<br />
Here is a link to a very thorough and highly researched article by Dr. Stephanie Seneff of MIT discussing the importance of fat and cholesterol, how they work in the brain, why statin use may be counterproductive for people at risk for and dealing with Alzheimer's, the function of beta amyloid and why a high fat diet may be beneficial. I found this especially enlightening in its explanation of how cholesterol is packaged as it is transported throughout the body, and what it is packaged with in LDL particles, for example, may be a surprise.<br />

<br />
Dr. Seneff has written many other similar articles of great interest to those concerned with cholesterol, statins, Alzheimer's, autism and other neurodegenerative diseases, many of which can be downloaded from her homepage. <a href="http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/">http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/</a>Dr. Mary Newporthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02421506246211413621noreply@blogger.com80tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226554489363769411.post-17595432082834347932013-07-23T14:39:00.002-07:002013-08-04T17:07:46.360-07:00Fuel for ThoughtMany people ask me to suggest a convenient way that does not involve cooking to provide coconut and MCT oil for their loved ones who are in assisted living, or are looking for a convenient way to take it at home, or carry along while travelling or just out and about. One such product is called Fuel for Thought and is available directly from Cognate Nutritionals by way of <a href="http://www.cognatenutritionals.com/">www.cognatenutritionals.com</a> or by calling (855) 453-8663. The company is located in the USA in Connecticut. In the first edition of my book, the working name of this product was Cocomul but is now called Fuel for Thought.<br />
<br />
Steve and I have had the opportunity to try out Fuel for Thought and it is a delicious, creamy vanilla flavored liquid that is easiest taken as is but can also be mixed into other foods and liquids. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: +mn-cs; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS PGothic"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fuel for Thought® has been scientifically designed to
provide a high concentration of MCTs which are partly converted in the
liver to ketones that act as alternative fuel for brain cells. In this
regard, it has been designed to support cognitive health. The makers
state this product contains <b>NO</b> cholesterol, gluten, transfats,
soy, dairy, or fructose, is vegetarian and very low in sodium. </span></span><br />
<br />
The beauty of Fuel for Thought is that it is packaged in one ounce single-serving bottles that do not require refrigeration, and are sold as a case containing 60 doses. For someone in assisted living, rather than trying to provide food containing coconut oil or getting the staff to give the patient coconut oil, the loved one's physician could order that Fuel for Thought be provided to the patient at set times of day, with meals, for example. <br />
<br />
The recommendation from the company is to take one bottle twice a day, beginning with a portion of the bottle initially and increasing as tolerated. The product is designed such that the amount of ketones produced by taking one ounce is equal to three tablespoons of coconut oil but with only 100 calories, as opposed to about 360 calories from the equivalent amount of coconut oil.<br />
<br />
The product is currently being studied in a clinical trial of Alzheimer's and coconut/MCT oil versus placebo at the Byrd Alzheimer's Institute at University of South Florida in Tampa.
<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: +mn-cs; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS PGothic"; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is comparable to my idea of mixing coconut oil
and MCT oil to reach higher levels of ketones while retaining the many
health benefits of coconut oil. I am giving Steve this mixture several
times a day to try to keep ketones available to his brain 24/7.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> For that reason I am involved with the company as a scientific advisor.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: +mn-cs; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS PGothic"; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
The concept here is that MCT oil is partly converted in the liver to ketones which act in the brain as an alternative fuel to glucose. People who have insulin deficiency or insulin resistance have difficulty getting glucose, the usual primary fuel for the brain and other organs, into the cells and eventually they malfunction and diet. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: +mn-cs; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS PGothic"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This
product would be useful not only for people who suffer from Alzheimer’s, but also, Parkinson’s, ALS,
multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Huntington’s, and most other conditions
where there is insulin resistance or decreased glucose uptake into cells.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">A
groundbreaking research study of a ketone ester in an Alzheimer's mouse model
was released for publication January 4, 2012 in <em><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Neurobiology of Aging</span></em> by Yoshira Kashiwaya,
M.D. and others in the laboratory of Dr. Richard L. Veech at the NIH in
Rockville, Maryland. This study showed that, compared to animals fed a normal
control diet, the Alzheimer's model mice who were fed the ketone ester
(D-beta-hydroxybutyrate-(R)-1,3-butanediol) had significantly less amyloid and
tau protein that form the plaques and tangles in the Alzheimer's brain, and the
animals showed reduced anxiety, and improved learning and memory compared to
the mice fed the control diet. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Alzheimer brain in people becomes resistant to insulin beginning at least ten
to twenty years before symptoms appear and this affects the ability of the
brain cells to use glucose causing them to malfunction and die. It was
discovered in the late 1960's in the laboratory of George Cahill, M.D. (now
deceased) that the brain easily switches over to using ketone bodies as an
alternative fuel during starvation when glucose supplies are used up. This new
research is the culmination of decades of research that followed, and, for the
first time, shows that ketones could lessen the changes that occur in the brain
and also improve cognitive function in this disease. In addition to acting as
an alternative fuel, ketones mimic some of the effects of insulin and are also
anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is another key feature affecting the
Alzheimer's brain. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Toxicity
studies have already been conducted of the ketone ester in people showing there
are no adverse effects and it has been approved by the FDA as "Generally
Regarded as Safe (GRAS)". Funding is now urgently needed to mass produce
this ketone ester and conduct human clinical trials.</span><br />

<br />
Coincidentally, the Daily Mail in London is publishing a story by reporter Jerome Byrne on the subject of Alzheimer's disease and coconut oil on January 8, 2013. This article will feature Kal Parmar a filmmaker whose father responded to coconut oil rather dramatically. Mr. Parmar has volunteered to help others in the UK who want further information (<a href="mailto:kparmar81@gmail.com">kparmar81@gmail.com</a>).<br />
<br />
Information about how to use coconut oil is in Diet Guidelines that can be printed from my website at <a href="http://www.coconutketones.com/">www.coconutketones.com</a>. There are many other materials that can also be printed out there.<br />

Here is a link with more information about the trial.<br />
<br /><a href="http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01716468?term=NCT01716468&rank=1" target="_blank">http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01716468?term=NCT01716468&rank=1</a><br />
The concept here is that cancer cells use glucose or the amino acid glutamine as their source of energy but cannot use ketones. On a ketogenic diet with caloric restriction, there is very little glucose for the cancer cells to feed off of and they die, causing the tumor to shrink. This could allow for more easily removing the tumor by surgery, or weaken it so that it is more susceptible to chemotherapy, for example. Small metastases could outright die.<br />
<br />
Normal cells can use glucose or ketones as fuel and so, while cancer cells are deprived of their energy source with the ketogenic diet, normal cells can readily switch over to using ketones and are not affected.<br />
<br />
This concept is discussed in detail in the book <em>Cancer as a Metabolic Disease</em> by Dr. Thomas Seyfried of Boston College, who has done extensive work studying this in glioblastoma. Animal studies conducted at University of South Florida by Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and others have shown tremendous promise. They have been looking at various combinations of ketogenic diet with other treatments, such as ketone esters and 1,3 - butanediol to raise ketone levels, other agents to lower blood sugar, and also use of hyperbaric oxygen. The results with shrinking cancerous tumors in mice have been quite dramatic for several of these combinations. A number of cancer patients are now trying this treatment with success as well.<br />
<br />
This treatment was featured on The 700 Club recently. The video can be seen here:<br />

The original story on The 700 Club can be viewed at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZOR-Qd3QSg">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZOR-Qd3QSg</a>.<br />
<br />
The first story will feature Dr. Vince Tedone, a retired orthopedic surgeon, and his daughter Deanna in Tampa, Florida, USA who have developed what he calls "The Deanna Protocol" for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). His daughter, Deanna, who is in her mid thirties has responded well (improvement and then minimal deterioration over a year) to taking an over the counter supplement called alpha-ketoglutyrate, 18 to 20 grams per day. They are also massaging her with coconut oil and she is taking some coconut oil at present. Alpha-ketoglutyrate is several metabolic steps down the pathway in the Kreb's cycle from where ketones enter the cycle. Another man with ALS who has responded very well is also featured in this story. Dr. Tedone has a website <a href="http://www.winningthefight.net/">www.winningthefight.net</a> where more information can be found about The Deanna Protocol.<br />
<br />
The second story will feature Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, a researcher at University of South Florida in Tampa who is working with Dr. Tom Seyfried of Boston College to study the use of ketogenic diets, ketone esters alone and in combination with hyperbaric oxygen, and other substances that lower blood sugar to treat cancers (he also is involved with studies of ketones and Alzheimer's, ALS, wound healing, oxygen toxicity and epilepsy). The concept here is that nearly all cancers require glucose, or the amino acid glutamine to make glucose, to survive and cannot use ketones, however normal cells can use ketones. Potentially, if a person undertakes a strict ketogenic diet and calories are also restricted to reduce the blood sugar as much as possible, the tumor will shrink over a matter of weeks and metastases may outright die, while the brain and other normal tissues survive. A large tumor, therefore, could become smaller and more amenable to surgery. This dietary approach can be used in conjunction with other treatments and can be enhanced by starting with a period of fasting (water is still consumed to avoid dehydration, and other supplements can be taken to ensure adwquate electrolytes, minerals and vitamins, for example, are provided). They have had considerable success with animals and some people have now tested this strategy with success. Hopefully, more organized studies will follow quickly.<br />
<br />
The third story will be a follow-up to our story on coconut oil and Alzheimer's that aired on The 700 Club on January 5, 2012. This story will feature Butch Machlan, a man with familial ALS (Lou Gehrig's) who has been stable for three years taking 9 tablespoons per day of coconut oil and magnesium chloride, and will also feature a man from Connecticut with Parkinson's who has had considerable improvement since shortly after the first story aired, taking a mixture of coconut oil and MCT oil (new product coming out Fuel for Thought from <a href="http://www.cognatenutritionals.com/">www.cognatenutritionals.com</a>).<br />
<br />
<br />
I am thrilled that Lorie Johnson and the Reverend Pat Robertson of The 700 Club have picked up the gauntlet to help spread this important message about ketones.<br />
<br />
When I have specific dates for the second and third stories, I will add them to this post.Dr. Mary Newporthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02421506246211413621noreply@blogger.com65tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226554489363769411.post-81813699225230982732012-11-27T17:31:00.001-08:002012-11-27T17:31:47.012-08:00Story on Ketone Ester in UK Daily Mail<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a story that ran November 26, 2012 in the Daily Mail, a UK newspaper. This is about the same ketone ester developed by Dr. Richard Veech at the NIH in the USA - he and Dr. Kieran Clarke are associates in developing and testing this ketone ester.<br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">I received this in an email from Dexter who has been sending interesting information to me. This is an 18 minute long video in which the speaker, a physician, relays her recovery from disabling multiple sclerosis (MS) to walking without a cane within three months and riding her bike eighteen miles within 9 months. Prior to changing her diet she had taken advantage of the best medical care available but continued to deteriorate. </span></div>
