Ketone Therapy: The Ketogenic Cleanse and Anti-Aging Diet
The ketogenic diet is one that is very low in carbohydrate, high in fat, with moderate protein. This diet shifts the body into a natural, healthy metabolic state known as nutritional ketosis.
In ketosis the body uses fat as its primary source of energy instead of glucose. Some of this fat is converted into an alternative form of fuel called ketones. Ketones are high-potency fuel that boost energy and cellular efficiency and activates special enzymes that regulate cell survival, repair, and growth. When a person is in nutritional ketosis, blood levels of ketones are elevated to therapeutic levels. In response, high blood pressure drops, cholesterol levels improve, inflammation is reduced, blood sugar levels normalize, and overall health improves.
Low-fat diets have been heavily promoted for the past several decades as the answer to obesity and chronic disease. However, we are fatter and sicker now more than ever before. Obviously, the low-fat approach has not worked. Our bodies actually need fat for optimal health and function more efficiently using fat for fuel.
In this book you will discover how people are successfully using the ketogenic diet to prevent and treat chronic and degenerative disease. Ketone therapy is backed by decades of medical and clinical research, and has proven to be both safe and effective for the treatment of variety of health issues, including the following:
Alzheimer’s disease
Parkinson’s disease
stroke
Multiple sclerosis
heart disease
cancer
diabetes
obesity
metabolic syndrome
Crohn’s disease
ulcerative colitis
irritable bowel syndrome
glaucoma
macular degeneration
migraine headaches
sleep disorders
It doesn’t stop there. Research is continually discovering conditions that are responding to the ketogenic diet. Many health problems that medical science has deemed incurable or untreatable are being reversed. Medications that were once relied on daily are no longer necessary and are being tossed away. People are discovering that a simple, but revolutionary diet based on wholesome, natural foods and the most health-promoting fats is dramatically changing their lives. It could be the key to changing yours as well.

Before reading this book I had a poor opinion of the current Keto diet craze and indeed the author pointed out that many are doing it all wrong, emphasizing too much protein neglecting the all important fruits and vegetables. Because I have read several books by Bruce Fife, which I have found reasonable, logical and life changing, I knew this book would present the most balanced view of the Keto diet available. I wanted to hear what Dr.Fife had to say and see how he would tie in the need for coconut oil as he always does. He came through and I am convinced that the ‘Ketogenic’ diet may be the best diet for many with some chronic illnesses and for those who are older, if it utilizes coconut oil, butter and the other healthy fats available avoiding processed vegetable oils. The down side is that it may be difficult to follow for some because of our carbohydrate dominated culture. Learning that the diet can be cycled on and off and still give impressive health benefits though was encouraging.
