There just aren't enough studies and organizations pursuing the effects of ketones.. ketones via diet and fasting.. but many of us don't wait for the studies.. Anecdotal evidence (a family member) suffering from dementia exacerbated from hearing loss and also traumatic brain injury (same family member) has won me over.. We wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for both Dr. Bret Scher and Dr. Mary Newport. Keep doing what you do.

My husband has Mild Cognitive Impairment and is only 67 - I have been giving him MC10 oil and coconut oil plus I try to keep his diet low carb. So my prayers are that he will stay stable 🙏🫶👍❤️
-
Such good advice that gets ignored (or vilified) by the system. I feel sorry for the victims that have been scared away from even giving it a try 😔
-
Just wanted to thank both of you (Dr Sher and Dr Newport). The work you two have been doing was pivotal in helping me build a foundation to care for my mother throughout her 12 year journey through Alzheimer's. She passed in October of last year. Unlike so many Alzheimer's patients, she had such an easier time, with less problems, better mood, longer cognitive plateaus, and much smaller cognitive drops through the course of the disease. Again, thank you both for all of the information, and rabbit holes you sent me down... I couldn't have done it with out your work!
-
Amazing!!! I wish ketones were offered as help when my grandma seriously suffered and died from dementia just over a decade ago....I can't wait for more information spread.
-
Thank you, Dr Scher and Dr Newport.
-
Wow! Dr Newport has been tireless in her delivery of this message. She is to be congratulated on her tenacity and grit.
-
Your YT channel gives me hope that our ways of coping with mental health problems will improve sometime soon…! 😅
-
Great to hear again from Dr Mary Newport. My wife's mum was helped through her because we tried coconut oil and MCT oil after listening to her experience with her husband.
-
Thank you for sharing this story. Medicine & Pharma follow the $$$
-
I wish I had known about this when I was taking care of my parents.
-
Mct oil is most DEFINITELY a game changer......it's in our daily diet. I added it after the first time heard Dr. Newport. THANK YOU
-
We need to send coconut oil to the Whitehouse.
-
Dr Mary is so fresh and clear in her thinking 🔥 That’s an inspiration in itself!
-
❤ I am sold again and again! I’m a believer and so very appreciative!
-
Thank you both for continuing to share this wonderful news ❤
-
Amazing information. I really hope that this reaches the people facing a solely 'sick care system' approach.
-
Hope Dr. Mary Newport will compare with zero carb and a diet of 100% beef. Should be the baseline for every intervention since it puts you in ketosis without oils and with pure food.
-
I think using low carb and coconut oil will do no harm. Think of the amount of law suits against pharma for the bad effects of meds that supposedly were trialled and studied. Coconut or mct is a good way to start.
-
Great interview. Sorry to say the most striking thing was how sick the medical profession is.
