Hundreds Report Dementia Improvement with Ketones: Dr. Mary Newport's Report

In this interview, Mary Newport, MD, discusses her groundbreaking approach to treating dementia using coconut oil and MCT oil, highlighting the role of ketones, and exploring the stories of almost 300 families who have benefited. Dr. Newport delves into the science behind coconut and MCT oils, explaining how they generate ketones, provide an alternative energy source for the brain, and offer other potential benefits for those affected by dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

*Key Highlights*
- Personal Journey: Dr. Newport’s experience seeing her husband’s improvement in Alzheimer’s symptoms from using coconut oil and MCT oil.
- Ketones and Brain Energy: An explanation of how MCTs are converted into ketones, and how they provide an alternative energy source for the brain, particularly beneficial in conditions like Alzheimer's where glucose metabolism is impaired.
- Scientific Insights: Detailed discussion on the neuroprotective effects of ketones, including reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain.
- Recent Publications: A new publication featuring 288 reports of caregivers using coconut oil and MCT oil showcasing the potential impact of this approach for neurodegenerative conditions currently lacking effective pharmaceutical treatments.
- Global Implications: The potential impact of this discovery on the 35 million people worldwide suffering from dementia.
- Ongoing Efforts: Dr. Newport’s continued dedication to advancing this field through case studies and poster presentations emphasizes the growing body of evidence supporting ketogenic therapy for brain health.

My husband has Mild Cognitive Impairment and is only 67 - I have been giving him MC10 oil and coconut oil plus I try to keep his diet low carb. So my prayers are that he will stay stable 🙏🫶👍❤️

There just aren't enough studies and organizations pursuing the effects of ketones.. ketones via diet and fasting.. but many of us don't wait for the studies.. Anecdotal evidence (a family member) suffering from dementia exacerbated from hearing loss and also traumatic brain injury (same family member) has won me over.. We wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for both Dr. Bret Scher and Dr. Mary Newport. Keep doing what you do.

I was diagnosed with ALZ in 6/24. Started recovery with fasting 3 days, then 4 days per week for all of July and August using autophogy to clear our broken down cell gunk etc. using the ketogenic diet for those 2 months...also using 1 tablespoon of MTC oil daily. Things seemed better, but when I started 1hour of speed-walking on a treadmill and spending another hour resistance traing every other day, recovery really took off. I also tripled my MCT intake last week. If you have ALZ, don't dawdle. Time is a big factor. It's a challenge, NOT an unravelling... unless that's what you really want.

Wow! Dr Newport has been tireless in her delivery of this message. She is to be congratulated on her tenacity and grit.

[toneyniko]

Just wanted to thank both of you (Dr Sher and Dr Newport). The work you two have been doing was pivotal in helping me build a foundation to care for my mother throughout her 12 year journey through Alzheimer's. She passed in October of last year. Unlike so many Alzheimer's patients, she had such an easier time, with less problems, better mood, longer cognitive plateaus, and much smaller cognitive drops through the course of the disease. Again, thank you both for all of the information, and rabbit holes you sent me down... I couldn't have done it with out your work!

Amazing!!! I wish ketones were offered as help when my grandma seriously suffered and died from dementia just over a decade ago....I can't wait for more information spread.

[johnmartinsen]

Such good advice that gets ignored (or vilified) by the system. I feel sorry for the victims that have been scared away from even giving it a try 😔

[TakeJoyAlways]

I tried this with my mom, and the difference it made was remarkable! Unfortunately, her doctor was not supportive. Well done, Dr. Newport. I found your book very informative and enjoyed your story and your husband's. I shared many videos of you and my experiences with my mom and MCT oil. Sorry to hear about your late husband. Take Joy Always~Diane

Dr Mary is so fresh and clear in her thinking 🔥 That’s an inspiration in itself!

Dr. Scher, the lighting across your face is beautiful. I am a portrait artist. I pay attention to lighting.

[ahopefulhollar]

❤ I am sold again and again! I’m a believer and so very appreciative!

[Steve-hkyr]

Great video. I began hearing about Ketones 2 years ago (from Dr. Mary) and I am shocked that people still don't know about MTC, Coconut oil, or ketones. It is amazing what Doctors do not know. Thanks Mary & Bret for posting this. Bret always conducts a very good interview.

[ekondigg]

Great to hear again from Dr Mary Newport. My wife's mum was helped through her because we tried coconut oil and MCT oil after listening to her experience with her husband.

[timbarrett]

Your YT channel gives me hope that our ways of coping with mental health problems will improve sometime soon…! 😅

[bitsytrummer]

Mct oil is most DEFINITELY a game in our daily diet. I added it after the first time heard Dr. Newport. THANK YOU

[eileenjohnston]

Thank you Dr. Mary Newport and Dr. Scher.

[gavinsymes-wizardot]

Amazing information. I really hope that this reaches the people facing a solely 'sick care system' approach.

[staceyloveswill]

Thank you both for continuing to share this wonderful news ❤

[sandan]

Thank you for sharing this story. Medicine & Pharma follow the $$$

[greenlegaciesrobertlaurist]

There’s no money for big corporations or the pharmaceutical industry, in studying ketones and MCT oil on the ketogenic diet. You can do it for free and they cannot profit from it. That’s why it hasn’t been study yet.
