Re: in shock/alzheimer

[Guest guest]

I am sorry to hear about the first hand problems you all face. I am not sure how

well it is known, but there is a medication treating Alzheimer that are fatty

acids. Alzheimer is a form of diabetes, in that the brain can no longer run

efficiently on glucose. The common diet today of low fat/high carbs contributes

to the problem. On the other hand, a diet very low in carbs, and high saturated

fats like coconut oil, and butter can help. The brain can run on ketones,

instead of glucose. It is not to say, this is the only cause, but it may be

enough of a cause to help, and or prevent.

The drug(food) Axona to treat Alzheimer

There are a lot of very low carb/high saturated diets out there, and most will

posts studies showing the benefits of saturated fats, and how they are not to be

feared. The diet helps many with blood sugar problems and chronic pain. Such a

diet helped me.

Hope this helps someone.

I am so appreciate of you success with oils and ketogenic diets but Alzheimer is

Not going to get better with oils and Alzheimer is not known to be a form of

diabetes.

Here from the Alz.research.org and many other Alzheimer research specialists

never have listed this and here is the following exert:

The Search for Causes

While scientists know Alzheimer's disease involves progressive brain cell

failure, the reason cells fail isn't clear. Like other chronic conditions,

experts believe that Alzheimer's develops as a complex result of multiple

factors rather than any one overriding cause. Both age and genetics have been

identified as risk factors, but many questions still remain. The discovery of

additional risk factors will deepen our understanding of why Alzheimer's

develops in some people and not others.

If you or anyone wants to research it from dedicated scientists here is the

website : http://www.alz.org/research/science/alzheimers_disease_causes.asp

This can be added along with laitrile for cancer. I encourage anyone concerned

with a person they know go with factual research.

A Doctor will NOT put a body in ketosis as it presents problems and is not

factual accepted as a treatment. I am glad it worked for you but most people

like to adhere to factual treatment. Just a point. Bennie

Bennie and group,

The problem is related to failure of cholesterol homeostasis according to

Here is an essay with many scientific references. I greatly appreciate this

article and her research. It brings together most of the studies I have read. As

you say, age and genetics are implicated, but the reasons are becoming more

clear, as more and more research is being done. We and our families are all

getting older, and we need to know the most updated, unbiased information and

studies.

s Hopkins hospital did some research into a modified Atkins ketogenic diet

with some results for children, and mentions may be an option for adolescents

and adults. It is hoped this will be easier for the parents and the children to

follow than the more strict ketogenic diet that is more well known and followed.

Here is a study done on using a MCT fatty acid oil, AC-1202 to induce ketosis to

treat Alzheimer.

Here is more about that drug(actually a food) Axona on the market, to treat

Alzheimer.

Hope this will give all of you " food for thought "
