As an ex South African, now living in Wales, I thank you for you very informative videos. Been doing carnivore now for 10 months and feel absolutely amazing having lost 35kg, deep sleep, absolutely clear sinuses, no pain in my arthritic knee (that needs replacing - not anymore), got more than a 90 degree bend in my knee and can go down stairs facing forwards, can now ride a bike, no cravings whatsoever, no bloating, tummy works when it needs to without having to take tablets (had to for the last 20 odd years despite eating loads of veggies and bran like we were told to!). Best way of eating - now eating to live rather than living to eat!!
Fellow Saffa here 🇿🇦. Dr Cywes is just awesome. Can't wait for his weekly videos.
I too have gone very much Keto/carnivore and my health has never been this amazing.
🇿🇦 same here, although I fall of the boat every now and then, to my own demise!
Great to see you found a healthy way of eating for yourself!!👍
My Grandmother and Mother both died with Alzheimer's. I am 70 years old. I have had long years of Keto and now Carnivore. But, have had early years of eating sweets and not good. I am doing everything I can to help history not to repeat in MY Life. I'm so happy to see this video to help the younger generation not to repeat what may have been in their Family History.
Great information. My mom died from Alzheimer’s but she was apoe3/3. I’m apoe3/4 so I eat zero grains, zero seed oils, zero processed foods, macadamia nuts, limited fruit and veg and lots of fish and pastured raised meat. Also take a high quality (doterra) multi-vitamin. My inflammation markers are super low, insulin is 3.27 and a1c is 4.7. Hopefully it helps avoid a future with Alzheimer’s.
Hi.. could you share what is wrong with macademia nuts? Thanks
Best to cut all seeds out of the diet-
Well done! Thanks for sharing!
Fish has pufa though?
I am ApoE3/E4. AD prevalent in the family. Been in ketosis mostly for the last 23 years since diagnosed T2D at age 40. So I am a fat adapted fat burner and work at staying that way. I am counting on ketones to save me from AD. They saved me from diabetes. I will report back when I am 80. Ha!
I believe the need to fuel our big brains is the reason humans readily produce ketones when not blocked by high insulin levels.
'I want to go to bed one night, completely healthy, and wake up dead'. Sounds comedic, but after helplessly holding my crying mum's hand while her mind was tortured by Alzheimer's for 8 long years, I get it and hope so too. Eat fat!
May you be blessed for the good you did for your mom so many years. What a wonderful gift of service & love.
Eat monounsaturared fats more than saturated if you have APOE4
I have an APOe-4 allele and a dead father from Parkinson's. I'm eating the exact opposite of what he ate.
My Mom died last year, with Alzheimer's. Her brother died last year, same diagnosis. I am making changes, I do not want the cycle to continue. Living to age 92 is great with all your mental faculties intact, not so much if you can't remember the last 10 seconds of your life. It is a terrible disease, thank you for sharing your personal story as well.
THANK you for another brilliant video. You always take a deeper dive into even what the keto community believes they already know. There is nothing more horrifying than punishing your surviving loved ones by getting Alzheimer's or senility if you can possibly avoid it. For those who don't get the genes test, the best practice is to just assume you DO have them and alter your diet NOW before it's too late.
Smart
Big family history of Alzheimer’s. Covid has escalated my own brain fog. At 66 it is sad snd embarrassing at time . I am doing intermittent fasting and Keto . I fall off sometimes. I am carb addicted.
I have lost 23# . I do try to get in one 24 to 42 hour fast with my schedule.
This helps understand why I need better fats and more often !
If you have not, I'd also review the RECODE protocol. I'm not 100% on board, but they've got some great info, which can be enlightening into causal factors for Alzheimer's.

This has a nice review.
Susan, how are you doing after a couple of years? I am working on aging portion and if you would be interested in sharing quickly, just respond here and I will get back with you. Thank you.
Thank-you, this reinforces my commitment to continue Keto and intermittent fasting for my husband and myself, with omega 3 and 6, and saturated fats. So glad my husband declined statins for his fine cholesterol. We are keeping in our plan to stay dementia free. Watching his parents suffer in their 80s with his Mom’s decline, after eating the standard American diet, has made me grateful we know about this approach. I wish more Mds and nutritionists knew and taught these facts. Thanks !
My father passed away in 1990 at the age of 65 from early onset Alzheimer’s. There was very little info back then about the disease. He was always a physically active healthy man and this disease absolutely destroyed him in just a few years time. The information you have provided is fascinating. Thank you Dr. Cywes😊
I completely understand. My father is 70 and has dementia. He too was always active, had his own business. Now he’s just a shell of what he used to be. It’s so incredibly sad.
Saw him Thursday he’s stellar, a genius, and unafraid to call out the corrupt medical community
Thanks for posting such an insightful discussion. I’m not a medically trained person, but appreciate how you have a knack for explaining complex issues in such an easy to understand manner. It’s always a good, informative day when you post. You’re ‘Must Watch’ out here on the prairie.
This was EXCELLENT.
Having just lost my father to Alzheimer I can definitely understand your wanting to die in your sleep with a sound mind. I have a slightly different goal. My goal is to live to be 103 and be shot by a jealous husband.
Lol
😂😂😂😂
My father and his mother both had Alzheimer's. It took my dad pretty quick. He was a bit forgetful, then had a small stroke and he went downhill from there. His body literally forgot how to swallow, and he was in his own world by then. He fell into a starvation mode, and lost consciousness and never woke up. He passed at home. My grandmother was getting forgetful, and her drs kept telling my cousins that she was having mini strokes, but when I went to see her about 6 mos before she passed, she grabbed on to my then 3yo son and was dragging him around and calling him my dad's name. Seeing my Dad the way he was, I'm almost positive it was Alzheimer's. That was back in the early 90's. I often wonder if it will hit me, I have become very forgetful the past few years. I get lost driving home, nothing looks familiar, thank God for Google Maps. I started in with the MCT oil and it did help a bit, but it is what it is... I'm 54yo.
Prayers for you. I do believe you will transcend heredity with healthy diet and gentle exercise.
So sorry for your loss. Do what you need to do to take care of you🙂👍God Bless!
It is so hard to be courageous at times. Love every moment. Do not isolate yourself.
Not "it is what it is" . Some get reversed. See Dale Bredesen information. Don't focus on saturated fats with APOE4 and use only moderate protein not high protein.
Alzheimer's is a big, big deal for me since my mother died of Alzheimer's, spending the last 15 years of her life in a nursing home and she went in at the same age as I am now. Needless to say, I carry the gene for it. So it is my great hope that keto will help with this as much as it has helped me with other things.
I'm sure of it.
Many informations at "Charlie's Foundation"
Keto for people with Epilepsy, Alzheimer, Parkinson!!
My father-in-law was an extreme low fat, low cholesterol doctor who, on top of that, took statins (before they were even commonly prescribed). His cholesterol tested very very low and of course he was SURE he was protecting his heart. He died - you guessed it - with severe Alzheimers.
statins are a lie, ,my dad took them and they eventually gave him vasculitis and died as a result eg taking 40mg a day! absurd. this world and its medical agency has been taken over by evil pharma companies. i had 5mg and got numb fingers and stopped taking them straight away, my body knew they were poison.
My husband's father has Alzheimer's and now his Mother has been diagnosed with Dementia. This stuff is rampant on both sides of his family. He is Type 1 Diabetic, started Keto in October, after I did in late September, he feels much better, blood sugars are no longer on the roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. Hopefully this will also prevent the dreaded diseases of Dementia and Alzheimer's.
YES!
Coconut oil, ....

Keto for Epilepsie, Alzheimer, Parkimson
You are a wealth of knowledge Dr. Cywes. Thank you!
My father (87) recently passed away due to respiratory issues (pneumonia/covid)but he had suffered with dementia for at least 2 years while also dealing with bladder cancer, then radiation which
(I believe) resulted in a stroke which(In my opinion) accelerated the dementia.
I appreciate your information for me to do my best to take care of myself for my own sake and that of my children.
Thank you Dr.!😊🙋♀️👍
My mother in law had Alzheimer's, and we had to watch helplessly when she was 92 and no longer able to function independently so she lived with us. She died after a series of strokes at 95. But, having read about Mary Newport's experience and Dale Bredesen's work I tried giving her as much coconut oil as she could take before the laxative effect was too much. I thought I'd give it a month and see if there was any effect to slow down the gradual deterioration. She had got to the point of no longer being able to follow things on TV and had taken to "whooping" instead of speaking (that was perhaps the worst for us). But very quickly there was a noticeable improvement so we put her on a strict ketogenic diet. We didn't test her ketones but she was very "fruity" for a while, which dissipated as she got fat-adapted. To boost ketone production I introduced mct oil but kept on with some coconut oil because when I replaced coconut oil with just mct oil it seemed there was a slight worsening. It could well be just subjective, but I kept on with the coconut oil as well.
Result: she stopped whooping quite quickly and soon was back to holding simple conversations. A month later she was able to follow things on the TV and after a few months was back to reading (simple things from magazines because she had no short-term memory). So the decline was stopped, and there was even a little reversal, right up to her death. I'm not saying this will help everyone, but it's worth a try, like I did. If it helps even a little, then great. If not then it wasn't a big investment.
One last thought: Between 9-10 minutes, about the essential fatty acids. I thought I should point one thing out. Since omega 6 competes with omega 3 for uptake, if someone eats a standard diet (with lots of vegetable oils, avoiding sat. fat) where the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is typically in excess of 20:1 then eating fatty fish or taking omega 3 supplements will be rendered useless because omega 3 uptake will be swamped by uptake of all that omega 6. Therefore, we need to get the ratio down to a more natural amount like 4:1 or less for uptake of significant amounts of omega 3. Correct?
Dr. Berg recommends a one to one ratio!
@@ianstuart5660 I'm sure a 1:1 ratio is fine, but difficult to achieve. As I mentioned, around 4:1 is "more natural" meaning what you tend to get when eating animal/seafood, and the body is fine with that. 20:1 or more though, is definitely not good.
It's amazing how I am engaged in listening to your explanations. They all make sense, you present them in an easy to follow manner and I benefit so much from them.
And the, "Want to go to sleep and wake up dead line"? My new motto. 😃😃😃😃😃😃
I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom! This is a very tough way to go! You have my sincere hope for you and your family!
I was hoping you would eventually get to the APO E4 status.I follow Dr Nick Norwitz and I’ve watched everything I can find on APO E status. Ivor Cummins is also E3/E4 I believe and Dave Feldman. It appears that eating low carb, keto etc might hold a valuable key to prevention. At least that is my hope. Only one relative with Alzheimer’s so I am paying attention. Thank you for the clear explanation that I will share with family members as some sources are pretty technical. The best podcast for me has been Dr. Paul Mason who clearly believes we can prevent it by low carb, full avoidance of all seed oils and keeping glucose and insulin healthy. It appears that seed oils may be the damage to amyloid that causes them to clump. So, this is all very good stuff.
Hi Betty. Have a paper on that topic under review. Wrote it about ApoE4, nutrition, and prevention because I felt there wasn't much out there on the topic. Stay tuned.
@@nicknorwitzPhD Awesome! Can’t wait. Thanks for your continuing research on this subject🥰
Thank you for this very informative video. My father was diagnosed with the alzheimer's gene 30 plus years ago and he and my mother did tons of things to keep him mentally healthy. My mother passed away 2 years ago at 76 after a rapid decline into dementia. She had always taken care of my dad and now at 89 his short term memory is non existent but I'm blessed that be members his family.
Much love.
Thank you, Dr Cywes. Excellent delivery, as always.
As a Safa living in Melbourne Australia, Thanks Rob for all your insightful videos. I look forward to listening to everyone of them each day. “Blerry Lekker Boet”
He is invaluable! Such a gem of a doctor!!
Making a folder and saving these for taking notes. Have a Grandma who passed from this and the key factor was the wretched statins. Started and staying carnivore for this and many other reasons. Love your work. It gave me the courage to speak to my orthopedic surgeon about not using the dextrose in my IV bag for my hip replacement. He was impressed with my research and happy that he won't have to worry about my recovery as much because I am already high protein 🥰
ApoE 3/4 here. Fortunately what I do to avoid diabetes also works for Alzheimer’s
I started keto 4 years ago. Started OMAD 1 year ago and since January 2021 I don’t eat anything at all on Wednesdays. My mom is 91 and getting progressively worse from some form of dementia. Her dad, my grandfather and her sister passed away from Alzheimer’s. On my dad’s side of the family the heart is the big problems. Mind and heart are my motivators....I am in my late sixties, wish I would have started much earlier...hope it’s not too late. Hopefully if I do have the Alzheimer’s genes my healthy living will slow this terrible disease down.
Love hearing the information you out, it's not just the information but how you present it. I have been on a strict ketogenic diet for a year and lost 45lbs, then for the last month and a half I have been strict carnivore, I just wanted to see if it made a difference, it has as far as the way the body feels and looks. I have been discussing the lifestyle with family and friends and I don't get positive feedback, I find it interesting that no one seems to care when you're diet is full of seed oil and sugar. The people who are second guessing my choices are people I really think would benefit from a lifestyle change. My family and friends will say when we go out to eat, Paul you have to eat something you can't just drink coffee that's not healthy and I say wait so what you are telling me is if I ate 6 hours ago and I am no longer hungry I have to stuff food in me? They often can't grasp a no carb ketogenic lifestyle
This is so true! I just heard someone who is a self-proclaimed sugar addict, associate butter with clogged arteries 😱 So many people are just clueless when it comes to nutrition!
Tough to convince the unconvincable
Try carnivore people think your crazy and you will die of scurvy, I've been going 6 months and I feel really great even better especially mentally then keto my body just doesn't like carbs and vegetables and I think the brain suffers especially.
@@cassandrasmom Of course, when the medical profession promotes low fat high carbohydrate diets, most people just believe them. They are the so-called experts, after all.
I've had arguments with people, and when I tell them that saturated fat is not bad for you, and that high cholesterol is in fact *protective against* heart disease, stroke, and particularly Alzheimers, they look at me as though I'm crazy.
Most people have bought the lie. It doesn't matter what you tell them, because their doctor has told them to cut out saturated fat, keep cholesterol levels way down, cut out salt, etc..
The only way you *might* get them to take you seriously is if you have letters after your name!
Research shows moderate protein instead of protein as primary if you have APOE4. See Dale Bredesen information. He specializes and has reversed some ppl in Alzheimer's.
I think most of us when we are very old and still functioning well hope to go to sleep one night and not wake. Thank you Doc for such an informative video.
Lets all check back in 40 years
I just want to say I had a sleep study at 54 yo. Really bad obstructive sleep apnea. Got a cpap machine and the first night was a changing moment. I could not believe how much better I felt and continued to feel. I didn’t know how bad I slept but I snored and woke a lot and felt like permanent jet lag. Now I feel 10 years younger, much sharper, happier. I think the apnea started when my kid was born and the lack of sleep was just a normal phase of life that seemed endless but is now over.
Look up dr berg sleep apnea videos on TH-cam
AlZ i frightening. Thank you.
We have reached a point in America where a neurologist will not see a patient with some memory loss who is 75 or older.
Is this not some form age discrimination. Why would a medical practice refuse at least a visit for a consultation?
65 yrs with ApoE4/3. Thanks for a concise explanation of the process. I got on this bandwagon after I watched both parents suffer and die from Dementia and have been zero carb/keto for 2. ½ years and feel a sharper mind as a result…especially when my ketone levels are heightened with extended fasts (>20 hrs). Looking forward to meeting you in April for an in office appointment to discuss this and other items. Thanks for what you do.
Thank you so much for this information. Both my grandmother & my mother suffered and died from complications of Alzheimer’s. I’ve been on Keto since July 14th 2020.
Very informative! I have the gene and have been on keto for two years, take fish oil, and retirement has allowed me to take very good care of myself. Am a RN so all the science makes sense. Thank you again. L
Thank you for this excellent video... I changed to a Ketogenic lifestyle 2 months ago not for weight loss but for future health benefits. I do not want to put my family through anything that I have caused or exacerbated through my own lifestyle choices.
wonderfull words.....always love to hear you.........my regards from Argentina
What a wonderful video and thank you so much for sharing your insights. Hope your letter arrived from UK in time - such a lovely idea.
Wow, this video is mind blowing! My grandfather had Alzheimer’s,my uncle was diagnosed two years ago and is progressing quickly.😕
Such great information; thank you for sharing.
This is so beautiful to know. Thank you, Dr. Carb Addiction!
I can not thank you enough for this video. So so many people are affected by dementia especially caregivers. would really enjoy more videos on this subject. As the more you learn, please pass in your new knowledge.
Wow, such amazing information and knowing that there is something we can do about it!!
It's interesting that 50 years ago older people had senility that was a slight loss of memory. Now there is Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, Alzheimer's Dementia, etc. The more we have progressed in our food choices, the less life we actually get to live. Interesting
Late to comment, but I was moved by this presentation. 86 year old neighbour just died of Alzheimers. His mum did too. I know of no Alzheimers in my family and both parents died mentally intact. I share you goal at 78 to keep going until I wake up dead or as close to that as I can manage. I've been keto for 2.5 years and I enjoy a much enhanced brain function. Very noticeable increase in the ability to see connections and patterns in my areas of interest. Right brain stuff like being better at photographic composition than when I worked as a professional photographer, and also intellectual patterns in my areas of interest like psychology and philosophy. The left brain loses names and such but the ability integrate ideas and even change life long habits good and bad has increased. The fat adapted body and brain are what I believe the key ingredient.
Thank you for the incredible presentation.
What a thought provoking video. Over the last few months I have devouring your videos. This subject of alzheimer's - it strikes close to home. My grandmother, my aunt; both suffered this awful disease. My mother at 89 is perfectly coherent and fiesty. But I still worry, with the genetics and being carb addicted my whole life - will I be my mother or my grandmother and my aunt? Is 55 too late? I could make all of these changes now - but am I too late?
No you are not too late. I am 63 and only started 2 years ago and it's made a huge difference in my life. At our age you either go forward or you go backward I don't think you stay in in one place at all anymore. So starting creates Improvement. Neglect creates death and disease and heartbreak for your survivors. Be good to yourself once a day is authorized more often is highly recommended.
I’m a hospice nurse and if only we can get everyone on board! we could all have hope to go to bed whole and wake up dead! Believe me, that is not how it usually goes!
Hey Doc! Nice video as always! Could you PLEASE make a video about Polycystic kidney disease? There are no low-carb doctors talking about this at all. There is some animal model research showing very promising results on the keto diet. There are some people stopping the progression of the disease with the only diet on internet groups. At the same time, nephrologists don't have any idea what to do with their patients, and just some of them give patients terrible advice like go vegan, do an alkaline diet and restrict protein, it's crazy!
Thanks again Doctor. I’m motivated and getting more healthy because of doctors like you. And you are leading the way. 👍
I had been sharing all I know with my friends and I recently received a message from one of them who appreciated what I was sharing but also said "I like fruit, veggies and grains with my protein." Her mother passed from Alzheimer's and she's too addicted to care that she's likely on that path. I will not be sharing with her anymore and pray she wakes up before it's too late.
Doc, being ApoE3/4, I've been working on Keto first, and now carnivore and have gone from a scary memory state to pretty good today (at 64 yrs).
One thing I'd love to see you cover Dr. Cywes is digestion overall. I have eaten well over the last 5 years, but only recently came across TC Hale who specifically looks at low stomach acid production and thick bile issues that can make even a perfect diet much less helpful, because the food wasn't being preparing well at the very start of its journey in order to get all the nutrients my body needs. I think this is something I see little about in the Keto/carnivore community online.
Do you address this with patients? Do you think it needs more attention especially with older patients? Would love to see you address this issue!
Excellent video! Thank you Dr. Cywes!
You’re amazing - thank you for info -hoping to do consult in future
Looking forward to it
Thanks for sharing. Would greatly appreciate if you could please share your thoughts on OxLDL and why it's significantly high for us Carnivores. Thank you.
Sharing! Thank you Dr. Cywes.
Read about Dr. Mary Newport. She had improvements with her husband's Dementia feeding him Coconut Oil and putting him in ketosis. She also got a Ketone Ester from Dr. Richard Veech to assist (but her husband was quite bad off).
My dad’s Alzheimer’s has improved so much after we saw dr Mary Newport’s TH-cam video and started giving him mct oil everyday. It has made a very big difference in his cognitive function and mood. He is back to the dad we know for the last 2 years now. Still declining but much slower and much happier than before
@@sabinagal9953 Great, my dad died of dementia 10 years ago I regret I had no way to help him then, we saw signs of it 20 years before, imagine if we had put him on these things. Ugh.
Yet another Absolutely Brilliant vidclip, so well explained..... Thanks a Stack ..... Very Best to You and Yours .... Mooi Bly.... Cheers from NZ
100% behind you! As I am only weeks away from 50 and training hard to try correct the wrongs of the past I've realised I want to die as healthy as possible.
I have watched another doctor saying low carb/keto diet is better for the brain and it prevents ALzheimer to happens or delay its onset. Thks. I am new to Keto diet and liking it first week.
It's sad how many people I hear being worried about Alzheimer's, then when I mention Dr. Cywes' and Dr. Berry's take on root causes most declare that "giving up carbs is too much".
Combine that with most doctors suggesting their diabetic patients eat "more health grains and fruit", and we're fighting a losing battle.
Majority of public opinion (citizens) still demonize meat and saturated fats as well.
My glucometer convinced me that those doctors are wrong and as I reduced my A1c and my blood sugars then the weight started shedding and they are also reducing my diabetic medicines as a result. Less carbs more ketones sharper mind. I appreciate the doctors who have smartened up and follow medical facts rather than the doctrines and traditions of pharmacies and insurance companies.
Excellent video, my grandmother and mom both died from Alzheimer's. I'm writing you a letter!
I want to wake up dead too! 😆 Love your podcasts, and your wry sense of humour !!!
Thank you Dr Cywes... as always, another most interesting topic w/ helpful advice! I appreciate what you do... take care of yourself.
As I'm watching this video I see the next one in the que is one from Dr Paul Mason from 6 months ago...."Treating and Preventing Dementia - how diet can work when drugs fail"
Paul is excellent
@@robertcywes2966 new study sir, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/keto-diet-may-reduce-alzheimers-risk-by-altering-gut-fungi
I just about gave up when you said there is nothing we can do once we have it. I have a friend that was recently diagnosed and I need hope!!! Yikes, I have not taken statins but my cholesterol is really low. I am on a high fat carnivore diet for 9 months. How do we find out about these APO things?
Pretty active and healthy 66 and retired from 45 years retail. been following you for 4 years. Thank you ❤ I Got severe MS. Diagnosed in 1997. Threw away meds went natural, fruit veggie and fat. Bounce back, but tore up my brain. Had migraine most of my life. MRI shows my brain looks like someone with Alzheimer's the age 75-85. 2017 they killed my mom in a nursing home. Got real depressed and dementia kicked in. Alternative dr. Put me on keto and intermittent fasting in 2018. Partly carnivore. Memory is a 7 from a 3. I also have been getting opthamic migraine and trigeminal nerougia. Help 😀
I want to go to bed old one day and wake up dead!! 😅😅😅 . great info. Thank you for taking the time to spread the news
Great video, thank you for all your efforts
What about dietary saturated fats for those with APOE4?
Dr. Steven Gundry, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. William Davis, and Dr. Arthur Agatston all say that those with the E4 allele need to be on a low saturated fat diet even on keto.
That's correct I've gone onto low sat fats ,high omega 3 s
You are so good doc. Great info.
Thank you for this information, Doc. Where can we watch the talk you referenced? I wasn't able to catch the full name - it sounded like Errol Novitz?
I’ve always said I hope I die before I get old. Know I’ll say go to bed healthy and not wake up. So perfect Thanks Doc.
🙏 As a big thank you I ran through the almost 45 minutes of adds 👍👍👍
Excellent again👌. Doesn't matter what genetic disadvantage people have in terms of metabolism,FH , APOE4 and all the genes that I don't know the names , they all have one common enemy: Insulin resistance !
Another great educational video... thank you doctor👍
This was so informative thank you. What does APOE 3/4 mean?
Its a protein
Alot of folks dont know this either but you get omega 3s from non starchy vegetables and leafy greens. Eat high omega 3 meat/fish and leafy greens as bulk of diet and you will be fine
Thank you for another informative video!
Once again, thank you Dr. Cywes. Alzheimer's is on both my Mom's side and my Dad's side of the family. I do NOT want to go there (I'm 65) and thank you for this information. I have been low carb/high fat (LDL is 5.3 mmol/L) and my doc is freaking out - she ordered Lipitor for me. I filled the RX but never took it. I feel bad but I knew it would just be another argument. She is okay with keto, sort of, 'has some healthy aspects' she says, but has been taught about how bad LDL is and I have a phone consult with her on Thursday...sigh....I think the LDL is about to hit the fan...
My diabetic doctor had switched me to Lipitor instead of Zocor and it caused horrible pain in my joints and in my muscles I finally had to just quit taking it and told my doctor ain't going to happen because it was just destroying my life I couldn't do anything.
I would love it if you could do a similar video on MS and using a ketogenic diet therapeutically that I could in turn refer to a relative who has this condition, because I'd love for them to at least try this out to help mitigate the progressive decline.
Thank you so much Dr. my mom, grandmother and aunt from my mother side they all had vascular dementia/Alzheimer’s. I’m 60 years old and I’ve been on keto for a few years because of refractory epilepsy and I’m doing much better than when I was on meds . Am I too old already for that test? Thank you .
No
so I have heard that alzheimers is what we call a Diabetes #3, and I have heard of a women age 80 ,that was put in the Alzheimers ward in the nursing home and when they changed her diet to Keto Low carb she regained her brain function and went home and even able to resume driving. What do you think?
thanks Dr. C - Nick is great. Looking forward to following his career. My mom and dad have dementia. Mom diagnosed at 67 now 77. Dad diagnosed at 77 now 82. Both overweight, bad diets, no exercise, former smokers/drinkers, metabolically unhealthy. Mom given a mixed diagnosis (vascular/alzheimer's). Dad's vascular.. I do not know my ApoE gene status and don't think it would be good for me to know. I'm already doiing all that I can to avoid the same fate of my parents and other family members. Been low carb since January 2017. I get blood work done twice a year and have been keeping tract on my inflammatory and metabolic markers. I am eating/living as if I have ApoE4.
I wonder if diet contributed to dementia in some relatives... and of course the food in nursing homes is so very wrong.
I was on Lipitor for years. No effect on my cholesterol tests, no side-effects that I noticed. Eventually I quit all statins. Hurt myself on a trip to England in 2018 and the NHS doctor was horrified that as a long- term type 1 diabetic I wasn’t on any statin.
I think diet really makes a change I see in retirement homes how people's minds degrade and in hospitals. Nearly all the food is all sugar and no fat even the milk is skim for the lowest amount of fat possible.
read the Lipitor's side effects: increase blood sugar and diabetes, memory loss, strokes, etc
@@ernestocaamano7818 it states right on the warning label "does not prevent heart attack or stroke".

Plenty you can do even after onset. Dale Bredesen has seen reversal in many patients
I was diagnosed over one year ago. I had my check up two weeks ago, I now test as normal. Carnivore/ketovore almost one year now. It’s turned my life around 🥩🥚
thank you for your information, I am a 4/4 ..... There is a problem in the UK, and other places I am sure, that a lot of doctors don't know about this and I keep getting told to take statins...
My Mother is in her mid 80’s and her Alzheimer’s is advanced.
The medical profession think it was worsened after physical abused and smashed over the head with a hammer.
No longer can she live alone.
So, so sorry to hear about your poor mother. 😔
I was hoping to hear some info on the effect of Apoe4 on cholesterol, high LDL, etc. Maybe in the future?
Thanks Doc!
Then a good sleep cycle it's necessary, deep sleep is when your brain makes all this process of wiping out trash in your brain. So you have to sleep early. Also a decent daily sun bath.
I also have seen that big amounts of melatonina can help to slow alzheimer.
Yes!agreed! Our ancestors were always in the sun...
Is Magnesium in the form of L-Threonate beneficial at all? from what I understand it is brain bioavailable, your thoughts on it? Thanks for all your great information!! Much appreciated
Dr Dale Bredesen's book The End of Alzheimer's is an excellent resource on this subject. Is the SMHP video available to non members?
Not sure. Send them an email. It should be
Can this relate to dementia as well? Same or similar protocol?? Would love to hear more about what can be done to avoid dementia as I believe this may be even more prevalent than alzheimer's and even more related to diet/healthstyle than alzheimer's.
Coconut oil reverses it
My mum has dementia...unfortunately she refuses to alter her diet which is very high in carbs and sugars...she refuses to change.
You could give her coconut oil, which contains ketones. It helped my mum
