My wife found this article yesterday and sent it to me. He Dad is in the early stages of alzheimers and also suffers from multi-infarct something or other.
We are going to try him on some coconut oil. It never hurts to try the natural stuff too.

That's pretty cool. The one caveat, though, is that as the article said, the diet mimics a starvation diet and can't be continued for too long at a time. Presumably there's some competition for nutrient absorption.
The effect on Parkinson's is interesting. It's thought that oxygen-free radicals may have an important role in killing the dopamine neurons; the ketones may help delay that by allowing intracellular metabolism to funcion just a bit longer.
Good find, Desh!

Got me. I can never figure out what you are doing.
You are kinda like wondering why gravity works, but giving up because it does not really matter.
