Hello Joanne, Do you think maybe Yahoo just cut the U.S. group off? ________________________________ From: Joanne Ford <mailto:joannesford%40yahoo.co.uk> To: " mailto:fibromyalgiacured%40yahoogroups.com " <mailto:fibromyalgiacured%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, October 7, 2011 10:41 AM Subject: What do Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Diabetes have in common? It has been shown that when using glucose as the main fuel for the brain folk with Alzheimers and Parkinsons have difficulty ensuring that the cells in the brain recieve the glucose fuel for energy and that this can lead to cell death. This is known as insulin resistance of the brain. Diabetics often have developed or do develop insulin resistance. This is where all the cells in the body including the brain struggle to cope with high glucose and high insulin levels and the end result is very hungry cells (hyperglycemia, shaking) or even cell death, and this insulin resistance is the main cause of obesity and even disability with diabetics http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/webprojects2002/wrigglesworth/brainimaging.htm http://health.dailynewscentral.com/content/view/0001969/53/ New studies are showing that diabetics folk with Alzheimers and folk with Parkinsons all function better when they stop using glucose as their main fuel and instead use ketones as their main energy fuel. although I can tell you more about the studies, I cannot really show any of you the best way to do this because all your cercumstances are different, different medications and so on. But Bee who has had 23 years working with ketogenic diets and Dr Newport who is currently using a ketogenic diet with her husband Steve Newport who has Alzheimers will be able to tell you more about this Kind regards Joanne ________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
