Mary T. Newport - Böcker

A quick-start guide showing how to integrate life-restoring fatty acids - medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and its natural source, coconut oil - into the diet. In addition to Alzheimer's disease, this dietary treatment can be used to counter such other neurodegenerative diseases as non-Alzheimer's dementias, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis.Dr Newport was not the first to call Alzheimer's "a type of diabetes of the brain," but she firmly believes it is. Areas in the brain that test positive for Alzheimer's show insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, which cause decreased glucose uptake in the cells, leading to cell malfunction and cell death. Because diet is the most important way to counter diabetes, Dr Newport advocates a dietary intervention based on a whole-food, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet - just the reverse of the current dietary model and all the processed foods sold in supermarkets. To make the dietary change easy, Dr Newport provides six choices that can be used alone or in combination for integrating coconut and MCT oils into the diet. Then she relates actual cases, based on the hundreds of people with all types of neurological problems, which show that incorporating coconut and MCT oils in the diet have brought about many exciting changes. In fact, when analysed the carer reports reveal that 91% of people with dementia or other memory impairment saw some improvement and 60% saw improvement in memory or cognition.

From the author of the best-seller Alzheimer's Disease; What if There Was a Cure?, Mary T. Newport, M.D.,now presents this guide of how to integrate diet in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

A #1 AMAZON HOT NEW RELEASEFinally, an in-depth look at the things you can do—and the things you should avoid—to delay, slow down, or possibly prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of the aging brain Billions of dollars and decades of Alzheimer’s research targeting the hallmark plaques and tangles in the brain have failed to produce a meaningful treatment for people with the disease. Drawing from the extensive research into ketogenic dietary intervention that dramatically improved her husband’s early onset Alzheimer’s disease, Mary T. Newport offers new and practical approaches to taking control of the lifestyle risk factors in our everyday lives that threaten healthy brain aging.Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention provides the rationale and a detailed plan for adopting a whole food ketogenic Mediterranean-style diet to overcome insulin resistance and provide ketones as an alternative fuel to the brain.

Third Edition, Fully Updated and ExpandedThere is hope, there is relief, there is another way to treat Alzheimer’s disease!More than 6.5 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Mary T. Newport’s husband, Steve, was one of them. In Alzheimer’s Disease: What If There Was a Cure?, Dr. Newport shares Steve’s story—how he fell into the abyss that is Alzheimer’s disease and was able to climb back out to enjoy a nearly four-year reprieve from the disease, thanks to a dietary intervention with coconut oil and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil.Since Steve’s remarkable turnaround from early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2008, Dr. Newport has communicated with hundreds of people and their caregivers dealing with neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to detailing the most recent research on the links between Alzheimer’s and many common medications, Dr. Newport illustrates how infection, inflammation, and genetic makeup may affect an individual’s response to fatty-acid therapy. She also covers the recent advances in imaging technologies, which have made it possible to detect subtle changes in the brain a decade or more before a person develops obvious symptoms, giving at-risk individuals the opportunity to take preventive measures. While the cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not known, Dr. Newport’s research offers a message of hope and shows how adopting certain lifestyle changes could prevent, delay, or otherwise alter the course of the disease.
