New Important Article on Ketone Ester from Dr. Richard Veech NIH
A groundbreaking research study of a ketone ester in an Alzheimer’s mouse model was released for publication January 4, 2012, in Neurobiology of Aging by Yoshira Kashiwaya, M.D. and others in the laboratory of Dr. Richard L. Veech at the NIH in Rockville, Maryland. This study showed that, compared to animals fed a normal control diet, the Alzheimer’s model mice who were fed the ketone ester (D-beta-hydroxybutyrate-(R)-1,3-butanediol) had significantly less amyloid and tau protein that form the plaques and tangles in the Alzheimer’s brain, and the animals showed reduced anxiety, and improved learning and memory compared to the mice fed the control diet.
The Alzheimer brain in people becomes resistant to insulin beginning at least ten to twenty years before symptoms appear and this affects the ability of the brain cells to use glucose causing them to malfunction and die. It was discovered in the late 1960’s in the laboratory of George Cahill, M.D. (now deceased) that the brain easily switches over to using ketone bodies as an alternative fuel during starvation when glucose supplies are used up. This new research is the culmination of decades of research that followed, and, for the first time, shows that ketones could lessen the changes that occur in the brain and also improve cognitive function in this disease. In addition to acting as an alternative fuel, ketones mimic some of the effects of insulin and are also anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is another key feature affecting the Alzheimer’s brain.
Toxicity studies have already been conducted of the ketone ester in people showing there are no adverse effects and it has been approved by the FDA as “Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS)”. Funding is now urgently needed to mass produce this ketone ester and conduct human clinical trials.

December 15, 2016 at 12:51 pmThis is such important and exciting information. My mother is experiencing dementia and I have been searching
everywhere for anything to help her. This information is a blessing from God! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Dr. Newport and Dr. Veech, and may God bless you for all of your work. What can “we” do to help get your information out to others and to help find the funding needed?

February 8, 2017 at 4:23 amDoes the ketone diet seem to have a great effect on Parkinsons in comparison to alzheimers? My 84yr. old husband is having more problems with parkinsons having had it about 15 years,. He is on Sinemet and also has diabetes II. I am looking for something that might help him in some measure.
Thank you.

You could order the ketone ester by using globalshopaholics.com to obtain a US address to forward the product from and then order the product from ketoneaid.com/MTN. Frank Llosa could help also by emailing him at Frank@ketoneaid.com.
I hope this helps!!

February 7, 2019 at 11:27 amI hope this helps your mother. You can help spread the message by simply giving the link to this website https://coconutketones.com to those who need help and who will pass it on to help others. You could also print out the free articles for those who may not have access to the internet. The
Alzheimer’s Association is now going to fund a study of Dr. Veech’s ketone ester…finally!!! You could donate to them and write on it that you wish the money to be used for ketone research.
Best regards to you and your family, Dr. Mary Newport
