Thanks! I'm not his guinea pig - this is his standard protocol with PD'ers and he says he has seen improvements. No miracle cures of course, but people do feel better. He had been in practice for many years and is pretty well known and respected here in SF.
Along with the MCT oil, I am to begin slowly incorporating a ketogenic diet. He provided me with a very detailed, typed out diet plan. The plan states to eventually get down to 40 mg of carbs per day, include bone broths, grass fed meats, dark green veggies, grass fed butter, ghee etc. He said the key with both the diet and the oil is to go slowly. He's seen patients dive in too quickly and feel worse, easing into it seems to be best according to what he has seen. He also suggested some other supplements, he did not sell me anything, he just provided the information. I am to try this for 6 weeks and report back. I have been gluten free for years and had tried the ketogenic diet on my own, but never really stuck to it. For me, its been nice to have some guidance. |

anagirl, Thanks for your post. I am interested in trying out your diet since I'm low carb/sugar already. Would you mind posting it. Thank you.

I just completed one bottle of the MCT oil and I haven't really noticed a difference. I have had 2 bad colds during this time, so maybe I"m not feeling better because my system is off. Or maybe because it just doesn't make a difference...?

I wonder whether your mother has been investigated for B12/folate deficiency and treated. Older people are very susceptible to this and often gets missed. I was reading an account by an eminent haematologist of the cumbersome, accurate and now rarely used Schilling test as an example of a test that has been superceded by a poorer test protocol. He puts a rash of misdiagnosis with B12 down to pulling this one test, and describes the current situation as a 'dreadful mess'. It has effectively led doctors to believe that 'curing' the anaemia that show up in tests, is curing the condition. The patients then get investigated for other conditions. PD treatments are not easy, as I am sure you will know. Good luck either way. |

See mine below Gene MTHFR C677T rs1801133 AG +/- (if you have two +'s then you metabolize at 30%) MTHFR 1298 rs1801131 TT -/- (so I don't have this mutation). You can get a free analysis of 23andme data at geneticgenie.org. Another great resource is http://mthfr.net/ I hope this helps. |
