This morning she responded by saying she and her husband were going on a low-carb diet immediately!

She shared that she too is showing symptoms

As an aside - she told me her dog was on insulin for his diabetes.So I sent her the review of Pottenger's cats and a reference to Billinghurst's raw diet for dogs and cats.

I have never met a convert who accepted low carb so quickly!

Thanks again.

You're welcome, and she may be interested in reading one of Dr. Mary T. Newport's books, Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?: The Story of Ketones or The Coconut Oil and Low-Carb Solution for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Other Diseases: A Guide to Using Diet and a High-Energy Food to Protect and Nourish the Brain.

Acting on new research showing that medium-chain fatty acids, which act like an alternative fuel in the insulin-deficient Alzheimer's brain, can sometimes reverse or at least stabilize the disease, author Dr. Mary T. Newport has demonstrated through her care for her husband that there is hope, relief, and perhaps a cure.

Amazing how the prospect of Alzheimer's gets peoples' attention so much more quickly than does the prospect of losing one's eyesight or a foot to diabetes.

An abstract threat is difficult for some people to really grasp. And a carer is in a fine position to make that decision
