Ketones for Parkinsons Disease

August 10, 2024 / manabunnow4zph / 2 Comments

William Curtis talks about his efforts to understand how ketones for Parkinsons disease have helped with his symptoms. His symptoms surfaced at the age of 45 in the year 2000 and has been instrumental in collaborating with NIH researcher Richard Veech in Washington DC.

What follows are the questions I ask Bill during the interview today on Parkinsons Recovery Radio.

What follows is a list of questions Bill answer on the topic of ketones for Parkinsons disease:

How did Parkinsons affect your life?

What led you to experiment with ketosis?

After the ketogenic exercise, what did you do to find out more about how ketosis could help your Parkinsons symptoms?

What is the purpose of fasting?

What is the purpose of the morning fat and coffee mixture?

What happens when you eat too much carbohydrate?

What happens when you eat too much protein?

Can exercise take you out of ketosis?

Can stress take you out of ketosis?

What supplements do you take to support ketosis?

What do you think is causing the improvement in symptoms?

Have you been able to cut back on the Parkinsons medications?

What do you think is going on as far as the disease progression you personally are experiencing?

Where do you think the use of ketosis in Parkinsons is going?

What is a Ketone Diet?

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, limited protein and carbohydrate diet that encourages the body to burn fat. When we eat carbohydrates, they convert to glucose which is the primary fuel for brain function. When there is little to no carbohydrates that are ingested, your liver converts fat into and ketone bodies. The ketones become natural food for your brain rather than using glucose as an energy source.

Ketones can also be produced by the body when you eat a high fat diet. A cocktail in the morning consisting of a drink composed of coffee, butter, whipped cream and coconut oil (and/or MCT oil) is used by some persons with Parkinsons who pursue a ketone diet. The body uses the fats to product ketones.

Ketone Esters

May 6, 2024 / manabunnow4zph / 4 Comments

I have included my full interview with Bill Curtis on Parkinsons Recovery Radio who discusses ketone esters for Parkinsons. He provides a remarkable summary of his customized treatment protocol involving ketones, fasting and exercise which has quieted his symptoms for many years now.

You having to take more and more medications to achieve relief? Bill has been taking five (5) prescription medications for many years with no requirement to increase dosages.

In summary I promise you will not regret taking 45 minutes out of your day today to listen to Bill’s remarkable story. His customized protocol is worth taking seriously!

Bill Curtis developed Parkinson’s symptoms at the age of 45 in the year 2000. He discusses his experience with using ketones as well as other therapies.

What Are Ketone Esters?

Esters are a type of ketone supplement designed to provide the body with an immediate and efficient source of ketones. Ketones are molecules produced by the liver from fatty acids when carbohydrate intake is low. They serve as an alternative energy source to glucose, which is typically derived from carbohydrates. The esters are synthesized through a chemical process that combines ketone bodies with alcohols, resulting in a stable compound that can be consumed as a drink.

Science

To understand the benefits of ketone esters, it’s crucial to grasp how they work. When ingested, ketone esters rapidly elevate blood ketone levels, providing a direct source of ketones to fuel your brain and muscles. This is particularly valuable in situations where the body is not producing enough ketones on its own, such as during intense exercise or when following a standard high-carb diet.

Ketone esters are different from other types of ketone supplements, like ketone salts, due to their more potent and direct effect on blood ketone levels. They are also more expensive and less widely available but are often touted as more effective.

Benefits

Enhanced Physical Performance: For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, ketone esters can offer a significant boost. By increasing the availability of ketones, they provide an alternative energy source that can be utilized during prolonged exercise or high-intensity workouts. Studies have shown that ketone esters can improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery.
Improved Cognitive Function: The brain can benefit from the increased availability of ketones. Research suggests that ketones may offer neuroprotective benefits and improve mental clarity, focus, and cognitive performance. This can be particularly useful for individuals looking to enhance their mental acuity or for those managing neurological conditions.
Weight Management: Esters can support weight management efforts by promoting fat oxidation and reducing appetite. As the body shifts towards using ketones for energy, it may become more efficient at burning stored fat, potentially aiding in weight loss.
Metabolic Health: Ketone esters may also contribute to improved metabolic health. They can help stabilize blood sugar levels and enhance insulin sensitivity, which can be beneficial for individuals managing diabetes or metabolic syndrome.

$5 ketone Ester Trial Sample Bottle Available TodayÂ

November 23, 2018 / manabunnow4zph / 0 Comments

I just sawÂ an announcement about a $5 trial bottle of ketone ester in my own email today. Early reports on the ketone ester for addressing Parkinson’s symptoms have been very encouraging. Can it help you or your loved one? You will not know until you try it out.

Today is a golden opportunity to find out if taking the new ester will offer relief from your symptoms. The ketone ester company linked below isÂ making available a trial bottle of ketone ester for only $5. I would suggest you get two bottles. One may not be sufficient to see it if helps. You will need to take to entire contents to see if it helps. Visit the website below to order:

https://ketoneaid.com/pr

P.S. They only have 200 bottles to sell and the offer is open for today only. As a new therapy, we have little evidence on this. But, the early reports tell me it is worth giving itÂ try for sure.

Advanced Parkinson’s

December 28, 2017 / manabunnow4zph / 3 Comments

A Therapy for Advanced Parkinson’s?

Over the past decade, I have made significant progress identifying dozens of natural therapies that are helping people reverse the symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Â Engaging many of these therapies requires a person to have energy and the ability to function reasonably well. But what about persons whose symptoms are advanced and whose ability to function is limited? I have found little to suggest Â until now.

Why now? Partly, I am influenced by a radio show interview with Bill Curtis who has pursued ketone therapy (using fasting, ketone salts and a newly invented ketone ester). Bill is hopeful that the new ketone ester may offer the most benefit to persons who have the most aggressive symptoms. The jury is certainly out on this hopeful expectation since the ester will not even be available for use until February, 2018 at the earliest. Still, I suspect Bill’s early insight needs to be taken seriously. If he is right, the new ketone ester along with a ketone diet may provide the boost people with advanced Parkinson’s need.

I would say – do not give up hope for symptom relief even if the situation looks dire. Listen to my interview with Bill posted below. If you would like more information about the new ketone ester, visit: Â www.ketoneaid.com/5

P.S. If Bill’s expectation turns out to be right, many will likely rush to order the new ketone ester. If there is a rush to purchase, the problem will be availability. The first production batch has not even been completed as of this date.
