Hi, all. I have been ketogenic for almost six months now, (not for Parkinson's) and I enjoy how much better I feel.

I follow Dr. Kurt Harris' "Get Started" page, at his blog, PaleoNu.

Reading Dr. Richard Bernstein's book, The Diabetes Solution, made such a strong impression on me about the damaging effects of CHO, that I knew I would stay on a very low CHO diet for life.

Dr. Mary Newport's blog, "Coconut Oil and Ketones", about Alzheimer's and what has helped her husband, who has AD, convinced me of the need to stay ketogenic. I started taking expeller-pressed coconut oil, and have noticed a marked improvement in overall well being.

There are some on low carb, Paleo, and Carnivore forums who espouse ketogenic diets, but I have not read posts related to improvements in things specifically related to brain and neurological health.

I found this thread through a search for ketogenic diet and Alzheimer's.


I'd be interested in reading what iimprovements others have found, in staying ketogenic.
