Ketone Esters

I have included my full interview with Bill Curtis on Parkinsons Recovery Radio who discusses ketone esters for Parkinsons. He provides a remarkable summary of his customized treatment protocol involving ketones, fasting and exercise which has quieted his symptoms for many years now.

You having to take more and more medications to achieve relief? Bill has been taking five (5) prescription medications for many years with no requirement to increase dosages.

In summary I promise you will not regret taking 45 minutes out of your day today to listen to Bill’s remarkable story. His customized protocol is worth taking seriously!

Bill Curtis developed Parkinson’s symptoms at the age of 45 in the year 2000. He  discusses his experience with using ketones as well as  other therapies.

What Are Ketone Esters?

Esters are a type of ketone supplement designed to provide the body with an immediate and efficient source of ketones. Ketones are molecules produced by the liver from fatty acids when carbohydrate intake is low. They serve as an alternative energy source to glucose, which is typically derived from carbohydrates. The esters are synthesized through a chemical process that combines ketone bodies with alcohols, resulting in a stable compound that can be consumed as a drink.

Science

To understand the benefits of ketone esters, it’s crucial to grasp how they work. When ingested, ketone esters rapidly elevate blood ketone levels, providing a direct source of ketones to fuel your brain and muscles. This is particularly valuable in situations where the body is not producing enough ketones on its own, such as during intense exercise or when following a standard high-carb diet.

Ketone esters are different from other types of ketone supplements, like ketone salts, due to their more potent and direct effect on blood ketone levels. They are also more expensive and less widely available but are often touted as more effective.

Benefits

  1. Enhanced Physical Performance: For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, ketone esters can offer a significant boost. By increasing the availability of ketones, they provide an alternative energy source that can be utilized during prolonged exercise or high-intensity workouts. Studies have shown that ketone esters can improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery.
  2. Improved Cognitive Function: The brain can benefit from the increased availability of ketones. Research suggests that ketones may offer neuroprotective benefits and improve mental clarity, focus, and cognitive performance. This can be particularly useful for individuals looking to enhance their mental acuity or for those managing neurological conditions.
  3. Weight Management: Esters can support weight management efforts by promoting fat oxidation and reducing appetite. As the body shifts towards using ketones for energy, it may become more efficient at burning stored fat, potentially aiding in weight loss.
  4. Metabolic Health: Ketone esters may also contribute to improved metabolic health. They can help stabilize blood sugar levels and enhance insulin sensitivity, which can be beneficial for individuals managing diabetes or metabolic syndrome.

Dyskinesia and Symptoms of Parkinsons

Question:

This question is in reference to my mother who is 61 years old. She is suffering from Parkinsons for four years. Since last year she is facing a problem of dyskinesia after taking Sinemet.

She tends to stay in bed. After some treatment she can move her left arm. She cannot go to washroom or even take her hand till chest.

I live in Pakistan. She take 6 times dose and cannot even sallow the food and the medicines.

Response:

I am so sorry to hear about the challenges your mother is currently facing. Dyskinesia is usually related to taking too much medication. I would strongly recommend that your mother ask another doctor for a second opinion.

It sounds to me like her medications need to be adjusted in one way or another. If she can not even swallow the medications, her body is giving her a strong message that something needs to be changed. Perhaps she needs to change medications in consultation with her doctor. Perhaps she needs to reduce the dosage of the medications she is taking now, again with the close supervision of her doctor. Perhaps she needs to begin looking at therapies other than medications. Some people simply cannot tolerate medications in any form.  Her body is telling her that an adjustment needs to be made.

Know that there are also many therapies in addition to medications that can provide significant relief from the symptoms of Parkinson’s. The more often she can get out of bed and move her body in any manner possible, the better she will feel. Any exercise at this point will likely prove to be beneficial.

Dyskinesia and Parkinson’s

Comment:

I have enjoyed your web site. I have been trying many new  things in order to feel better. I have decreased my PD meds tremendously.  My dyskinesias  are 90% better.

For now I wish to discontinue my membership.  Let me explain. I live in Central New York. This past winter was brutal, and  being stuck inside for what seemed forever, is how and why I found your web site.  Spring has come and gone – a very rainy one I might add.

Now summer is here. I’m feeling more like myself again.  My husband and I have started a  garden and we really enjoy working in the yard.  He just bought me a  bicycle and we are boaters. So to be perfectly honest I don’t have  time to sit in front of the computer.  I need to move and enjoy the  sunshine for the short amount of time we have it.  I will see you again next winter.

By the way I love your news letters. I hope those don’t stop.  Thank-
you for your support.

Sincerely,

Patricia

Thanks so much for sending me the exciting news about your recovery. Many people will be thrilled to learn your symptoms are better after trying new things. The best medicine anyone can give themselves is sunshine and exercise. They are both freely available in the summer. The more you get of both, the better you will feel. I cannot transmit sunshine through the website and it doesn’t do much for the exercise side of things!

I too lived in New York as a child and remember the long and challenging winters. The good news that after the long winter, summer is such a welcome gift.

If you get the chance, call in during any of my weekly radio programs and tell us all what you have been doing to feel better. It will be motivating for many people. The phone number [347-945-5358] always stays the same. The show airs 11:00 am pacific time every Thursday.

As for the free newsletters – the best is yet to come! Stay tuned.
