Impact of a keto diet on symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, biomarkers, depression, anxiety and quality of life: a longitudinal study

https://keto-mojo.com/research/keto-parkinsons-quality-of-life/?

“For 24 weeks, participants followed a ketogenic diet providing approximately 1750 calories and 152 grams of fat, 75 grams of protein, and less than 20 grams of net carbohydrates daily.

Participants reported enhanced cognitive function, mood, motor and nonmotor symptoms; reduced pain and anxiety; and overall improvements in quality of life. All seven expressed a commitment to maintaining the ketogenic diet for ongoing health benefits.”

In a stunning discovery, researchers at the University of Sydney have successfully reversed Parkinson’s-like symptoms in mice by restoring balance to a single brain protein SOD1. Normally protective, this protein goes rogue in Parkinson’s disease, clumping and damaging neurons.

The scientists used a targeted copper supplement to stabilize SOD1, and the results were remarkable: the treated mice regained normal movement, while untreated ones continued to decline. The findings suggest that correcting this protein’s malfunction could halt or even reverse the disease’s progression.

While human trials are next, the study opens an exciting new direction for treating Parkinson’s not by masking symptoms, but by repairing what’s broken at the molecular level.

Internist Lawrence Broxmeyer documents voluminous references to older medical literature showing extreme similarity between Parkinson’s and malarial “brain fever”. He suggests that Parkinson’s patients therefore be treated for malaria.

His books are sold on amazon.

Also, the substantia nigra is interestingly an iodine-rich region of the brain.
