If you are a mental health professional warning someone away from doing a ketogenic diet as a treatment for mental illness by telling them it will give them a heart attack, you assertion has no basis in the research literature, and you are therefore practicing unethically. 1/14
Let's do a thread to help you get back up to speed, so you can practice the principle of Do No Harm and your patients can use metabolic therapies and get better. ⬇️ 2/14
Nutritional ketosis involves elevated ketone bodies, providing alternative energy sources during low carbohydrate intake. Ketone bodies, especially BHB, are efficient substrates for ATP production in heart failure. 3/14

I cannot find a historical parallel for what the @MDHealthDept has done. It is such a slap in the face to science, it basically has never been done before except by dictators and regimes. Think I am exaggerating? Keep reading. ⬇️ (1/18)
@MDHealthDept Remember, the ketogenic diet study clinical trial is privately funded. So funding is not the issue. Remember, the ketogenic diet study being shut down does not have any ethical issues. It was carefully reviewed by more than one body for that purpose. (2/18)
@MDHealthDept In the past, studies have been shut down. but it has always been due to funding or ethical concerns cited. (3/18)

We talk a lot about mitochondria, and we totally should. They are amazing! And we want to understand them for brain health. Why do they need vitamin A in sufficient amounts? Glad you asked! I am going to tell you. (1/8)
Vitamin A is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism. Retinoic acid, a derivative of Vitamin A, has been shown to influence the activity of enzymes involved in the mitochondrial energy production process. (2/8)
Retinoic acid can regulate the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial function. It influences the transcription of genes that are crucial for mitochondrial energy metabolism and the production of enzymes needed to make ATP. (3/8)

Let's look at an article that explores how ketogenic diets might help manage Alzheimer's Disease by countering the metabolic shift towards glycolysis in neurons and microglia. (1/22)
Murai T, Matsuda S. Metabolic Reprogramming toward Aerobic Glycolysis and the Gut Microbiota Involved in the Brain Amyloid Pathology. Biology. 2023; 12(8):1081. (2/22)doi.org/10.3390/biolog…
There's a significant shift in how neurons generate energy, moving from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. This means that even in the presence of oxygen, AD neurons preferentially convert glucose to lactate. (3/22)
