I know, I know, you're so honored that you know me. ;)
Most of my relatively fluent English (at least in writing) comes from visiting these Blazers forums through the years so you are indeed a part of it

It's still work in progress, these are as I said suggestions still in need of further examination.
There are other articles I've written not yet published, some of them already approved for publishing.
I can also tell you researchers from Oregon may very well be on their way to find a cure for ALS.
Most of my ideas or at least some of them are not just my own, they are shared by other research. The articles I've written usually reference several previous studies.
The research about ALS I have nothing to do with just thought it'd interest you

It's interesting. They're suggesting a low glucose diet that they say stimulates the production of compensating acids that could be therapeutic. It's mostly been researched regarding diabetes where low glucose diet is logical (diabetes in hebrew is called Saceret, derived from the hebrew word for Sugar) and they're mostly assuming it could be effective in other diseases.
I can tell you, according to my study that low glucose is not the cure for Alzheimer's disease, it's what's causing it. Glucose is the cure.
According to my research high levels of Cortisol (also described as 'the Stress hormone), which is manufactured to compensate for low glucose levels (maybe like Ketones), is what causes Alzheimer's disease. This diet doesn't cure Alzheimer's, it would enhance it.
Regarding the other diseases on which they hypothesize it could be effective but the only one which makes sense is diabetes. Epilepsy? Maybe. I don't have enough knowledge about this disease. That it could cure Parkinson? Again, it could be worth checking. Maybe these ketones could be as effective as Valproic Acid.
But in honesty, I think it's mostly a shot in the dark. Glucose is important to body function, low glucose diet is not recommended. I think diabetes makes sense. The other diseases is just trying to explore the same rout for irrelevant diseases

Most of the research I see says high insulin and glucose (necessary for higher Insulin level) is the cause of alzheimers. We see a parallel epidemic with obesity/diabetes/alzheimers. In unison, with the government rules for nutrition- very high in carbohydrates.

Glucose is important, but the body makes what it needs in the absence of dietary carbs. Gluconogenesis. Glucose on demand from protein. It's best to have enough dietary protein to spare muscle. But ketogenic diets are protein and muscle sparing in their own right.

Fasting is a form of ketogenic diet. There are strong links between fasting and decreases in alzheimers. When fasting, the body makes glucose from protein, too. Otherwise you would die without food for 24-48 hours.

The brain runs perfectly well on ketones. Maybe better than on glucose. Many keto dieters report an enhanced mental clarity.

I haven't looked at connections between ketogenic diet and parkinson's. There are numerous studies showing keto reduces cancer risk and maybe cancer itself.
 
Carbohydrates are rich with Glucose.
If you wanna lose weight, then yes, not eating Carbohydrates would certainly help you lose weight. Diabetes i haven't researched but i think is characterized by high glucose and low insulin levels. Alzheimer's is exactly the opposite. Glucose is what would cure Alzheimer's. Low Carbohydrate diet would do the exact negative effect in this case (and i wouldn't recommend it anyway)

Two kinds of diabetes. Type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is hypoinsulmia. Type 2 often presents with obesity and insulin resistance- hyperinsulimia. The diet reduces insulin resistance. In both cases, insulin or inulin stimulants are prescribed. In both cases, serum glucose is too high. The diet affects that.

You are looking at studies of SAD diet, which is the cause of these epidemics I mentioned. In ketosis, you do not need high brain glucose - ketones are sufficient for 75% or more of the brain's requirements. On SAD, not many ketones.

Researchers are finding that alzheimers is actually type 3 diabetes.

No, it's the exact opposite. Im now worried my title for the research is misleading. Not everything is diabetes because something can cure diabetes and what could cure AD is eating more glucose, not less.
These Ketones I wouldn't say they're completely made up but Cortisol is well known. It's produced to compensate for low glucose levels and it is not only known as an hormone causing stress, at a high level it leads to misregulation of enzymes called secratases responsible for the peptide of beta amyloid in the neurons, the mechanism causing Alzheimer's

It's opposite if you are eating high carbs. You build insulin resistance, it hurts the brain.

Low carb means 75% ketons for the brain, 25% glucose from gluconogenesis, and no insulin resistance.
 
To cure Diabetes or Lose weight, I agree.
In other diseases, maybe, who knows.
In Alzheimer's disease, exactly the opposite, eat more Glucose.
And in general Carbohydrates are tasty, they ease stress and the body craves them for a reason.
I would stay away from this diet if i'm not obese or diabetic

Eat more glucose if you are glucose and insulin resistant. Of course. If you are eating high carbs, your brain requires glucose to function. 100% glucose. Resistance leads to alzheimers. More carbs is to swamp the brain with too mant hoping enough get processed.

That's not necessarily the best way to counter alzheimers.

There is absolutely no dietary requirement for carbohydrates. People live on zero carbs. Eskimos, for example.

Carbs are addictive. They affect the same pleasure center in the brain as cigarettes, cocaine, or gambling. They metabolise fast, leaving you hungry. The big increases in glucose cause big increases in insulin. Insulin makes people fat, and resistant to insulin.
 
Maybe Eskimos get their Glucose elsewhere.
I agree Carbohydrates have some negative implications if you eat too much of them but not eating them at all is also unhealthy. There's an old saying that everything is good at the right amount. If you're obese you're eating too much and if you have diabetes there's some overproduction of glucose that maybe could be countered by this diet. In Alzheimer's, IMVHO, the body lacks glucose and needs more of it. And for a regular person, don't eat too much and not to little, as most people do anyway

The theoretical minimal level of carbohydrate (CHO) intake is zero

I was Vegan for two and a half years. I did very well in bloodtests etc but because I ate almost everything vegan that tasted good.
I don't know if you need CHO, people lived before they invented dough, maybe they lived longer although other than some characters in the bible, most evidence suggest otherwise.
Eating Pizza makes you happy also because the glucose in the Carbohydrates lowers the Cortisol levels which eases stress. Glucose is needed in diet it's a fact. You can get it by eating grapes. If you eat enough grapes you don't need CHO for Glucose but you would have to eat enough Grapes, or you'd get cranky and eventually develop Alzheimer's

The body makes all the glucose it needs, without carbs.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis

Gluconeogenesis (GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydratecarbon substrates. From breakdown of proteins, these substrates include glucogenic amino acids (although not ketogenic amino acids); from breakdown of lipids (such as triglycerides), they include glycerol (although not fatty acids); and from other steps in metabolism they include pyruvate and lactate.

Gluconeogenesis is one of several main mechanisms used by humans and many other animals to maintain blood glucose levels, avoiding low levels (hypoglycemia). Other means include the degradation of glycogen (glycogenolysis),[1] fatty acid breakdown.

I eat pizza. The crust is made of cheese. It's very close to the high carb version, just without the carbs.

Deep dish, too. The whole pizza has maybe 10 carbs.

You shouldn't, you should eat Carbohydrates. It's not healthy for a normal person to do this diet. It puts you at a greater risk for Alzheimer's and if you decide to continue with it I recommend that you have your glucose levels tested regularly

There's no requirement for dietary carbs. Restricted carbohydrate diets are perfectly healthy. I can show you dozens of studies that say so. Long term, not just for losing weight.

Harvard Medical School talks about a few here:

LCHF is a very hot area for research these days.

And there is this:

Vegan is ok.

My diet is beef, chicken fish, turkey, pork, cheese, nuts, leafy vegetables. I drink coffee or water, occasionally a diet soda. I have berries and cream, cheesecake, and plenty of other low carb sweets.

Seems better than eating foods made in laboratories with added chemicals. How do they remove fat from food?
