Episode 91: Cognitive Impairment up close - Things you can do now!!

Another front page story from a national newspaper...The Boston Globe...Provides a first hand story of a mother and wife told from the perspective of her husband and high school sweet heart. I share this story for the same reason as the last story I did. That one from the New York Times. There is much you can do to support. To increase the likelihood of improvement in a person. Please see this as a hand to help ’Step Up’ and not sit passively by to watch your loved ones wither away. This is very much for you personally as well. Time to be proactive and preventative and not passively sitting back waiting for the next new medication to help you. Maybe that will happen but in the meantime, get involved proactively and learn what you can.  START HERE and continue. Always ask questions, be assertive, make alliances, and research...and think for yourself. It’s really on you.Links:How could my wife have Alzheimer’s?

Hi, This is Dr Karl Gold Camp. If you're interested in learning about the ketogenic diet like I was to save my own life, then this is probably the podcast for you. Eight years ago, I knew nothing about it. Six years ago, it saved my life. Three years ago, I started researching and talking with some of the authorities in the field and attending medical conferences about this. To understand why and how Kato so dramatically changed my my wife, studios lives. The first of his podcast is to share our journey of discovery with you and understanding how Kato is so effective improving so many different conditions from obesity, epilepsy, diabetes, infertility, M s, Alzheimer's heart disease, a name a few. So take a step away from all the hype you've probably heard and roll up your sleeves with me and join me weekly to explore this living miracle. Then anyone can access. We'll talk science. We'll talk food. Well, explorer, its history and evolution to today, which is that the sheer wonder the ketogenic way of eating has changed untold number of lives, unlike anything before and in case I forget to mention it, please join our Facebook group. Kato Naturopath Hi, This is Dr Gold Camp And welcome back to another episode of the cuter Naturopath. Today, this week, I'd like to continue the idea of mild cognitive impairment. And remember the previous episode I called it emcee. I three words you never want to hear. So we're in the We're talking about dementia. We're talking about Alzheimer's, which is a subset of dementia, rather specific, But collectively, we're talking about dementia, and it's all over, you know, it's I'm not looking for a topic to be intriguing. I mean, we're funding this whole podcast, so I'm not looking for any great ratings. I don't expect any great ratings. I'm trying to get the truth out there, and therefore I have no conflict of interest unless you could say my C eight RC eight. But so the reason I want to talk about dementia again and I probably will for a number of times in the future, but not consecutively is because it's everywhere. I know within our family. My brother in law, who's in his late seventies early eighties, these diagnosis Alzheimer's, and he had signs of that in the previous 10 years that he's older and that hangs in his eighties, when there's a number of other people that are not that old. So it's the reason this is even a discuss. Herbal issue is because it directly has to do with the ketogenic diet. I hope you know that. And we you've now heard me. You've heard the interviews for Dr Steven Canadian talking about M. C I and basically see eight. It was Dr Keenan who sort of opened up the door to studying see a cappella gasa triglyceride, which is basically see a dime SETI oil to appreciate to hearing it that way, which is, that's why we offer it. I think it's a minor miracle. And from that or part of that was the development of exogenous key tones, as through Dominic Dagostino through his grant through the Defense Department through the Seal Team. And so that came up. And now a certain kind of exogenous key tones, which are key tones, salts, you know, together with Patrick Arnold. They work together and made this, but now there's Esther's out there as well. So all three of these are presto change O immediate key tones in your blood that is a big deal to have that tool, so that's out there as a tool for everybody. So when I read, just like I think this day a couple days ago, another article, certainly this this week in The Boston Globe and the and I'm gonna go through part of it because I think part of the pain of hearing about that is important because the numbers are going up astronomically. You know, it's one of the few things that it's just incalculable, and we don't know I'm tying speaking that we now as a person you don't know really how to deal with those numbers. It's just like you really don't know how to deal. The numbers of global warming is just so massive, so huge. You do want to help, but it's a little bit like draining the ocean, so you try to take some small place that you can take constructive action to mediate that particular issue. I can name and a number of other things, but I don't want to paint the world black. I'm just saying that it's like that many people don't want to pay attention to this because it's uncomfortable. It's unfriendly as let's say, especially if you're a caretaker. And if you've been through that or if you're worried about yourself. So the article in the Globe magazine on January 7th was, How could my wife have Alzheimer's? She's only 56 So it talks about a couple in Massachusetts on I will post this article a couple of Massachusetts, How this woman has a basically had a really good really life together with kids and enjoy each other childhood or high school sweethearts. And she started to lose the ability to find the right words and then from the losing the ability to find the right words. She became a Frasier, which basically means learning to find a really great difficulty finding any words and eventually just not being able to speak. And so this was the beginning of Alzheimer's unusual place for it to begin PB, and it's where he went in and told the story of all the things they had to do and the effect of their family. And it was a tear jerking story. But what I like about these stories from when the rial, it brings you into it, and I think it's necessary for people to have a story so they can relate to. Not just. It's another statistic for the roof with autism. And, yeah, I can name a lot of conditions that we most people have a hard time just accepting that they exist. They don't know how to deal with it unless they have to do with it. They tend to walk around it. So when you go through an article like this and in the newspapers, just like The New York Times last week, I would suggest that you go to the comments because they are actually very enlightening. You have a lot of people that obviously have had this experience, and they are going to speak to their episode there, their perspective. And I'm just going to read through some of those comments. I'll let you go back to the article. I hope you really read it. So from the comments section, it says it's been said with Alzheimer's. There are two desks, basically the person in the relationship. Our family is dealing with this scourge as well, agonizing to wash the vibrancy fade from a loved one and another one. Alzheimer's not only robs those who are affected, it causes heartbreaking longing for days that are gone forever. Somebody else. My mom showed signs of early onset Alzheimer's at age 52 she lived with it for almost 16 years before find it finally killed her. She was catatonic within five or six years on set, we fed her until she finally stopped chewing and swallowed food. And then she starved to death. I was very bitter for a long time, wondering how God could do this to such a beautiful, wonderful woman. Another comment. I'm sure there are other families going through the same pain that have to provide for their loved ones at home because care is inaccessible to them. Great point. Another person. I'm not often moved by tears by a newspaper column, but this one did it to me. Those of us who have not had to cope with the cognitive decline of parents and spouses may now understand what families go through, thanks to this exceptionally brave and heartbreaking story. Another one. Ah, heart rendering and very honest story about losing a loved one to dementia. The only thing left that was a significant cost of private memory in long term care, and how the family managed that my late husband and I experienced this with an elderly mother who lived with us for some time and went through, went into memory care when we could no longer care for her. After that experience, we vowed to each other that neither of us would allow the other to go through such suffering. Now that he has gone very sudden and unexpected, I fear the possibility of acquiring dimension as I age and it goes on. So why bring this up? I'm not trying to, you know, open a wound and keep it festering for the sake of telling a story to you. No, not at all. Is it? Here's how I look. Let me inject myself into this story. Fictitious early. Okay, so let's say I was who I am right now and know what I know right now, and I'm well, probably wouldn't work is the next door neighbor. But I was accessible to them and they were referred to me. What would I actually do to talk to them? This person at that age? You know, I I'm not out certainly wouldn't promise. Let's say I met them five years ago or something. When she started complaining that you couldn't find the right words, I would look for a nutritional deficiencies. I certainly would have them adopted low carb, high fat diet. I would certainly have them work in key tones, and I would prefer C nine because it's real food as opposed to synthetic exogenous key tones. But researchers there on exaggerates key tones. I would work in C eight and see what difference that made in looking for nutritional deficiencies, which are really the root cause of a lot of problems. And they're usually caused by medications. And we'll get to that as an example in just a little bit that that would at least you know, and I would do lab work. I would look for things like homocysteine, which we're all gonna know a lot more about after I do this that kind of interview. But you look at things like that inflammatory markers. I'd look at the ratios of omega six familiar three. That's something I could treat I'd look for already, said Deficiencies. Vitamin D is pretty common deficiency to look for these things make a difference. How much would it make a difference in this particular case, I don't know, but let's say this person came in and I found that back in the day that she was just fumbling for words will say. And I found, Gosh, you know, you are so tilted with omega six Omega three because you're eating a standard American diet your diet because they gave me their diet diary for seven days because it's required to do that to work with Dr Gold Camp, that I could say that Look at all the carbs you're having and then within looking at carbs, most of them. They're just grossly refined carbs meeting there. They're cereals, their bread's their rice there potatoes, the potato chips and the process food. So if I could take out the process foods, if I can drop the grains ideally all the carbs well, let's start with something realistic, dropped the grains and then the starches, and then keep the leafy, leafy green vegetables if they want, and we get out. All the processed foods thes are dramatic. Tools are tools that you could use that I believe will create a visible change. How dramatic? I don't know. It's from person to person, but let's say that she had April E 44 You know, the one that supposed one of the ones. It's the top of the pile of mutations that are most problematic and goingto signal in one and two and so on. And if anybody's red, we're seeing the movie. Um, I'm still Alice. They were talking about those mutations. So even with the mutations, which is not a certainty that you will have this outcome, we have a lot of other genes also work to compensate. But pushing the genetic part off to the side a little bit. That's about predisposition. It's not destination. It's not fate. It's predisposition in a high carb diet. It's predisposition. For the most part. I'm pushing that a little bit right. It's predisposition in the context of a diet of processed foods with all those other chemicals being put in. I mean, now that is an entity that's talked about. Refer you back to Joan. If Flynn's interview, she'll probably be coming up again this this year as well. So these are things. If you extract them out and some you can do very easily, you will see a significant difference. You'll see a significant difference knowing the brain is primarily D H A, which is a kind of one of your two essential fatty acids. You have D H A and E p A. Otherwise known to most people. It's fish oil. Most people don't eat fish. They don't take fish oil capsules. Guess what they are going to be deficient. Not only that, most people do do do have use seed oils, which are high. Omega six is. So are animals. Some animal fats are academic acid into major six, so they're very tilted. All these arrows are pointing in the same direction and a bad direction, so you can unplug ain't them if you will, and that's a big deal. That's a big tool tohave. So they're therefore, that's my hopefulness and all this. We haven't even talked about really great interventions we haven't talked about now, going to the gym and so on so forth and all these other things that you could bring into it. But let's get the crap out. Let's identify the deficiencies that we can identify, and right now we have some pretty good testing that didn't even exist 20 years ago. Yeah, I do intracellular. So for the people I do, and I am not unique. Annoy you do intracellular testing for nutritional deficiencies. Bang, That's excellent. You obviously do some serum testing. That would be gross deficiencies. You know, it's funny they started doing that back in the forties and fifties and maybe even sixties and sense, of course, serum levels of certain vitamins. Well, now you intracellular where the tire really meets the road, as they say, But you look for of the V 12 folic acid and they are common deficiencies. Believe it or not, just because a person is living today doesn't mean they have a good diet. Even if their affluent. That doesn't mean they have a good diet. So you check these things, they can be addressed, they can be turned around. So then the question comes, Well, let's say there has been damage done right? Well, you lived in this world with not only these jeans with this poor diet, and he calls these deficiencies and these deficiencies caused problems. Is any any damage that has been a NRI treatable, unmediated ble? That's a word. I don't know the answer to that. I know you can improve the section situation dramatically. Is that permanent damage of some sort? It's too easy to say yes, but guess what? I don't know. So I don't go with that. I go with what I can do, and I know I can make a difference. And people say, Wow, that's a big deal. Do you remember the story of Dr Mary Newport and her husband? How she injurying kind of late in her life, But she was putting it together by saying, What else can I do as wife and she came up with First the coconut oil, which is see 10 and C eight. And then she got around to C C eight only a little bit late. And so she discovered, See, it was better than see 10 but she didn't look at nutritional deficiencies. She didn't remove processed foods, and in fact, I don't think she dropped the percent of carbohydrates in the diet by very much. So is it was a crude beginning. Excuse my word for saying crude. I have total prays for her experience and sympathy. I saw her speaking number of times on. I came to tears. First time I heard her story, Um, there was the beginning of what do we do? What can we do? So she ate, among other people, have opened the door, so we haven't even looked at hormones. That would be sort of the last thing. But other damaging factors that go on in our culture that are apart from diet is sustained. Elevated levels of cortisol. We burn out, and we have chronic stress, whether it's financial job relationship news, overexposure to the news, chronic exposure to the news is it? We cortisol was meant to be an acute short term shot in the arm kind of hormone. Get you going to save your life? It was not meant to be a sustained releasing hormone for a long periods of time, and that's what many of us have. You know it and it's not saying, well, exceptional people are exposed to chronic recorders, all exposure. So my point all that is there are a number of things that you can look at even in the course of this article is that he goes his doctor and they get the two medications or Alzheimer's, in which he doesn't believe she has Alzheimer's and doesn't take it, obviously makes things works, but That's the only thing they were waiting for. The medic medication pretty much like last week's story as well. Do not wait. There are things you could do now, and you're not doing anybody any favors by thinking I'm falling my doctor's orders. I sound a little bit unkind when I say it this way, and my unkindness is meant for to provoke action on your side, to learn to take care of yourself. I mean, I believe that's possible. That's how I treated my patients. I'm gonna bring your level of education up. I'm not gonna spend my time talking down to you like I know more, you know less. And there you go. I'm your coach. And so the way I phrase this is time for you to grow up. It's time for you to grow up and realize that there's a lot you can do. And if you want to be lazy and wait for medicine to tell you when to do this or when to do that, I'm sorry you have given away a lot of your health care. You've given a lot of lot of your personal power, so time, too. Grab yourself by your bootstraps, as they said a couple of generations ago. I think that's had a World War one, by the way, and look for the things that you could do. It is not that difficult. There's some common sense approach to this. And so even in this article they said, Gosh, we didn't know what it was, Was it pestis eyes? Was it heavy metals? Did they even look heavy? Metals is a great, great idea, but I would do The low hanging fruit is to drop the carbs and increasing fats. The second thing would be to correct the kinds of fats that you're having certainly to get to something that's key tone producing. But the kinds of fats that I'm and that's a saturated fat, by the way, is getting those poly unsaturated. So the poly unsaturated the D. H. A call that brain fat all right, you need that brain fat. And again, I refer people to the book by Dr Stephen contain survival of the fattest that talks about how we grew up on a marine diet. What do we get? We need shellfish and so on so forth, you know, And I would also look at I bet this person is probably low on Coleene. Colleen. You would get from liver and some organ meats you get from other things as well. But you need that, I'm sure. And that's think, about, um, there's not a neurotransmitters that are dependent upon cool, lean basilica. Lien is what I was thinking about. And so that has to do with diseases like mice, India's gravis. When those receptions don't work, receptors don't work, but this would be it is slightly different. Um, orientation to that, of course. But you see my point. There's the things you can do to improve and maybe even reverse this and maybe even make this a non issue. So by not doing something and politely sitting back and sort of being a follower, those years were being a follower are done are absolutely done. Does that mean you have to go to a ah functional medicine doctor or not dramatic medicine? Doctor? No, you need to go to somebody who knows the right questions to ask, and they're not that rare. It's an extension of common sense. Believe me, that's it. So even in the article, these guys were thinking in the right direction. Pursue that direction and just add in these other things. Let me give you an example How I said medications are often the cause of certain nutrient deficiencies, and then new nutrient deficiencies are therefore the cause of long term problems, maybe even damage. That's my belief. So you look at that just like he would look at any particular toxicity. There's a reason for medications, we hope, but it's usually for short term. It's not for long term. Let me give an example. Through our coaching program, there was a man whose complaint, among other things, because they have to fill out a questionnaire course, has a look for a medical liability, even though I'm not there. Doctor. And so his motivation and a scaled A 10 to drop his now £150 or so and use in mid fifties was about three. That's not very motivated. In one of his problems was you started the fat for sure. Uh, he's he's been very successful business. Why? So he didn't have that kind of stress. You probably have other stressors in his life that he was feeling depressed and sometimes anxious and so and we ask about what His Medicaid, What's his history is history was he had a heart condition that required a heart ablation, which means they go in and in essence, uh, sadder. They go on in essence, block a nerve, so no longer misfires because it doesn't fire it all for that little part sometimes have to go back every couple times, but they follow you. And so why they follow your meaning after you go in for your heart ablation partner ablation treatment. They obviously see if it worked or not. They were heart monitor and so on. So he's done fine on that and the, you know, passed with flying colors. But he was. They put you on a bit of locker. So a beta blocker blocks the receptors to thing called beta one receptors orbited to receptors depending on the kind of beta blocker. But we're just gonna talk about it. Generally, the beta blocker blocks the heart from being stimulated by both norepinephrine and primarily norepinephrine, and I believe quarters all but it blocks the heart from increasing. So when you and I go stairs, we actually squirt out some quarters, all on norepinephrine, to get our heart just to compensate for the extra stress of us having to carry our body weight up or even when we stand up for much. Sit up from a chair. And these are just momentary sort of functional times in our life and our inner our daily activities that we have to do that well, a person on a beta blocker doesn't get that extra. It's they get tired. They got to stand up and go. I'm tired. You know, I didn't get any help on that one, um, kind of thing. The heart didn't speed up to get the blood around, so they are tired. That's the symptom that they feel generally fatigue. But really, what's going on is a beta blockers block they call as a long term deficiency. Anything called Coke You 10 just like statins do. There's less research on beta blockers and where statins. And so my guess is there's farm or things that are affected. Bye, beta blockers and Cokie 10. So cookie 10. Who cares about Cookie? 10. We all care about coke. You 10 Cokie 10 is vitally important to each one of our mitochondria are mighty Kandra. Isn't every cell in our body except the red blood cells. And so it's the function. It's the battery, however you wanted describe it. And so you've taken out part of the battery and it's no longer functioning. Well, it's in fact, dysfunctional. So you, when you punch in to Google the pub Med to Google Scholar, um, might Akane riel dysfunction and depression. So the Coke you 10 created, in my words, on a scale of 1 to 10 of 5 to 6 dysfunction for mitochondria body wide. So, of course, that person's going to have a little brain fall. Look, they're gonna be somewhat depressed, maybe even anxious. They're certainly gonna have weight gain. They're gonna be looking for Quincy. Compensatory behaviour, such as wanting to feel good I wanted to feel good is looking for what gives me doping me, that I obviously don't identify it that way. But they will probably over eat if they can mess there. One somewhat passive activity that probably gives him a rise. So therefore there go on the calories. Not only do the calories gone because their overeating, the calories go on because they're under exercising. They very difficult for them to producing testosterone. That helps them create the muscle mass that helps him burn the fat. So that's an exempt example of medication. A pretty common medication that creates a deficiency that impairs as body wise and really sets us up. So for the short term, you can say, for this particular case, yes, he was doing it for he was turning it because he was instructed to do so because he wanted his heart to make sure to get through it. But they also could give, um they also could give Koki 10 along with it so he doesn't have to. Damage is might account your body wide, and his heart still won't get the the increase so they could do their belt and suspenders, but they could support. The downside is what I'm saying. So things like that need to be looked into. You look into this person science. Obviously, that's the point of my coaching programs. So look into these things and to make these changes, I now gotten to the point to the program that I'm no longer pleading with people to make these changes. They have to be they have to be motivated to have to be willing to do the work. And so they are. Here's now the stipulations, by the way, slide into that a little bit They're not going to do. It's not gonna be an option to due process food. It is gone. It is out. Is it empty? They are not going to do dairy. This is three months down. Not gonna do dairy. Sorry. It's just not gonna happen. So if they want to lose those £100 I want to feel better. They want to change metabolism. It's got to go out vacant. Bring it back in afterwards, by all means. But I get him up to the, you know, feeling like God, so to say, meeting feeling really good, they're gonna know why they'll bring these things in afterwards and they'll feel like crap and don't know why. So you have to go clean. That's lack of processed foods. You have to drop the carbs. Incredibly, you keep in the greet leafy green veggies, you obviously bringing the kinds of fats. So what about things like heavy metals? We don't go into heavy males in this course. It's no longer in my scope of practice and, uh, in North Carolina and it was used to be in a scope of practice in Connecticut until that was taken away from all naturopaths in Connecticut. Think you could only do that in Washington or organ? So it's you have to go to ah doctor who does that in a state that he says he or she is allowed to do that. But it's not a bad question. Those heavy metals, especially lead, has been around for a long time, and it definitely has neurological consequences. So do Mercury, says cadmium. And these are some of the heavy metals that you can find, and you can reduce by seeing the right person. So you need to test so Testing's upfront and has to be done. So my hope, my hopefulness, my optimism for all these cases is not just low carb. High fat is where I differentiate myself from others in that group, and I'm not trying to differentiate myself from anybody. I'm just what I do and what I see. The data drives my decision making. If people are unwilling to look at data, their data, their data being their blood work, their data being their nutritional deficiency in Sicilia, testing their data being hormone panels, their data being their cortisol levels. How do you measure quarters all? You don't just measure it once you have to measure it overtime. So we do a urine test, and so it measured is four different times. You get to see that cortisol rhythm otherwise known as the chronology, the rise and fall of quarters all and other hormones, of course. But court is always unique. The three most powerful hormones in your body, our quarters, all insulin and estrogen and primarily the afternoon is E to Esther Dial, and after that you can look at things like thyroid and then a testosterone. But they're far minor, and they're driven by recorders all for the most part. So when we find these things, so let's say this woman, let's say she in her mind, was stressed out because she was a mother and all the responsibility she had. Maybe she had a job, too, that she would have, in a good old American way, risen to the opportunity her her quarters all would have become chronically high and eventually would have started to burn out. In that burnout, not having enough so you can adapt and high causes its own problems. But when you no longer can produce the cortisol, which comes from your adrenal glands, when you no longer can reduce first as much your ability starts dropping down. You become adrenal deficient, if you will quarters all deficient. And if you can't hold the line, Corazon is like the fire fired her and you're in your life. You then have other things slip in. Your immune situation starts to fail. Other things start to fail, so taking care of court is all. You find it high, then you bring it down low because you need. With this, we'll call it organ reserve. Some people call it that you need that buffer. You need that money in the bank. So for those extreme situations, you can rise to the occasion. But if you keep on pumping out full blast quarters, all your adrenals get to be tired and they can't do it. It's the same thing with the pancreas with insulin. You know when you see with diabetics their insulin so high, eventually the pancreas starts to burn out, and he can't even produce enough insulin, so they have to take extra insulin and more So it's the same thing with the adrenal glands, but it's less talked about with cortisol than it has much more dramatic, Um, overriding. They're they're very both a very potent Norman's insulin and Hornet quarters also, So we test so we see that. So now we get to see this profile not only by year and metabolites, but we also see my saliva tests. And so that was very helpful. So far. A person like this, as I say, I'm I'm fictionally inserting myself into this story. And if I found either elevated or very low like this person might have already been burned out. Ah, adrenal insufficiency. So what are we going to do? Well, there are things we can do, and there's a lot of things you can do to bring the adrenal glands back to normal functioning. So the thing about quarters, all I it's all about my cock in pyramids, all about dementia. But the thing about corners all is that in conventional medicine, they just sort of see cortisol is being too high, which is Cushing's disease or syndrome or too low, which is Addison's. And it's either too high or too low and There's nothing in the middle, and that's my view of conventional medicine. It's either black girl away. There's no gray, and I think that's crap. There's a lot of gray and there's things you can do. So if one is not as low as Addison's and so had a sense, is what JFK had. President Kennedy had a course. He took cortisol shots. And actually, court is all just became available during President Kennedy's presidency. Has a shot. And that was from pinks, By the way. That was not human cortisol. That was that synthetic cortisol. He was directly extracted from pigs, so he got thanks quarters all the shot, and that was had that under a couple times a day. But that's how he got his cortisol anyway, So there's ways to bring that back. That is a big deal. So more and more people have been asking. Certainly, since its last podcast about dementia, Alzheimer's onset, mild cognitive impairment already worries about themselves. So, you know, I I don't know if it's human ape nature, or are we just become very superficial individuals in North America primarily, um, specifically the United States, where I live and what I mean by that is they go all kino. It solves everything. I don't think it solves everything. I think it's a big it's It's the biggest piece on the chessboard to move to get the biggest gain, so to say. But it's not everything you need to look for deficiencies. You need to look for things that are elevated, things that are deficient, things that you can address, and you need to look at those oils to. So but high fat, low carb is at the heart of the Chinese changes that is, with a call necessary to have his part of the solution, but is not sufficient in and of itself to have it work on Lee. In that regard, you will get some changes, I hope in some. But remember, most of my podcast comes from the fact that why do 50% of the population that try to lose weight with the ketogenic diet fail and where did another way? But I explained that a number of times. That's the beginning of my questions and in my parking lot analogy, right not to go into that again, but those are the people that you can easily change you do these other things called the low hanging fruit or the more egregious deficiencies where excesses that you can address and you move them towards concurrently with a low carb, high fat I you will make big headway. You bet you will. And where did genomes fall into all this? I think genomes are a great way. As you know, it's one of the four levels that I look at. It looks at predisposition, and you I look at some snips mutations more than others, more valuable. Another. Certainly. I'm almost, I guess, from th afar, which means I'm predisposed elevated almost has seen. So I keep an eye on that. Hence my propensity to have liver or a liverwurst honoring the basis that works for me. So my home assisting worked out fine, but others don't. My wife is exactly the same. She doesn't like liver, and she came back from we did blood work about three weeks ago. She came out with salaciousness. Hi, I'm assisting so she can address it. Think deliver Or she can take a supplement with his basically fall cast B 12 56 as a minimal as a minimum. So there you go on that I hope that was helpful. I just want to look over a few things here to see what else I can say about things, because I don't want people to go away. These air such really tearful stories. You know, it makes you when you read these stories last week and this week just makes you your eyes, water and gosh. But I want to insert myself and say there is something you could do. Please believe there is something you can do out there. Don't just walk on and say Well, conventional medicine says otherwise. Don't let that be your last word on your own self healthcare, uh, or anybody near you. It's just not fair to them. And certainly not fair to you. Times have changed. I know there's a lot of false information out there, but there's many people that believe like me, and there's many people that go to similar conferences. This is a way there's a way to do. Just keep asking. I wanted to just pivot. I mention this before there are people to come to me and this is not an advertisement. It is what it is. People come to me and I charge them hourly or a set of five or 10 consulting sessions. But what I didn't expect when I started way back with Kato a couple years ago and helping people was that people would be coming to me because of their parents. My mother is this My father is that, and I was wondering if you could have any ideas. So they're expecting, Hey, that's just, you know, follow their Mac Rose. And now I've become much more sophisticated, and I guide them with their their docks and saying, Hey, go ask for these tests. Let's see what these say and you try not to insult anybody. He try not to get on your high horse, meaning their doctors. And so when you try to create a collaborative relationship so these tests can be covered, and then we'll see if we could go for some exceptional tests. But this is the door that's opening now for people to look at. Nutritional deficiencies usually induced by the medications were on, and the average man in the mid fifties is on 4 to 5 medications daily. Um, they have each woman I believe is higher, so however you look at it. There's a lot of medications that's ongoing nutrient deficiencies that are being caused on a daily basis. You then would look at how they eat. If they're in a state, you could look a heavy metals have be helpful, but that's a little bit of a production. I would put that on the list, but I don't think I would get to that in the top 10. But having done that for about 15 12 years in Connecticut, really getting into that and that was sort of the heart of my practice. I saw a lot of transitions there, and so that would have to be on the list. It's a big, big deal, but you'd have to work with. Somebody knew exactly what to do is an estate that wouldn't be hassled by the local authorities to do all that and to move forward and you measure these things. They're all very great tests out there. They're quite reproducible. I'm gonna have few clips of Cem actual people working with their parents that have various kinds of dementia, and sometimes, it's stated, is a specific kind of dementia, frontal, temporal dementia or just general dementia or even Alzheimer's, and it sets the stage for the environment that we all live in and that we are all gonna have to deal with. So there's no real exceptions. Here we go. Hope you enjoy it started with personality changes. Then he kind of started to develop problems with this eight Walking and Handsome Falls Way had doctored for a few different things. Firstly, I kind of thought depression, but it kind of continued to progress. Way just told them You guys are missing something. There's something I don't know. There was just something wrong So they didn't roll psych testing in Iowa City, and he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. I wanted Thio play a little piece now of a different context, and this is a man who watched his father declined. He works with his father and noticed the bookkeeping that he wasn't recognizing some of the entries and so on so forth. They took him for a diagnosis and took him for the M. R I and did some genetic testing. And so this is picking up on that part because this person's hope is on genetic testing will save them, and I'm saying that's a variable, but I would not wait. So I'm encouraging people just to look bigger than that. And so upset that that's what the diagnosis Waas because even at that point, even though he's talking, there are huge swaths of my father's personality that that are just gone. And it was at that point you just feel robbed of the chance to be able to say goodbye. And my father is here, but the person he waas, he's gone. So Pen offers genetic testing for this disease, and after my father's diagnosis, I needed to know whether or not I had the same mutation as my father. The process depends quite easy. You meet with a genetic counselor, they go through, they go through explaining what the diseases. So he goes in and he finds out the results. And this is the effect of knowing the results again. I'm saying that I was sitting next to him. I said, Well, let's find this information out. But this there's a lot we can do and there's 9/10 of the story that is 9/10 of looking how we can change. The condition has not been accessed yet. You know, we're missing most of the story here, but let's just listen to what he has to say and you go in and you sit down with the chatter counselor gate. And so she told me that, Yes, I have the same mutation that my father has. While I thought that it would not be a problem to know it, it was one of the most difficult things for me to hear. Now that I know that I have the mutation, my Children have a 50 50 chance. I've now known about this for quite some time and have made peace with the fact that it's there. It's if it does happen, it's nothing I could do about it. I mean, I know that that PEN is working on research to try and abate the disease. Stop progression, and we're always on B edge of some kind of breakthrough pen contributes to that. So the questions that I would ask of this point, it almost seems route can imagine that if I was in this room or if I was the doctor next door, and now he sees me, and I don't get that emotionally involved with this example. Is that me? Well, we all got something, and you have to look where this podcast started. As in this episode, today about the rates increase are so phenomenally fast and the rates themselves are increasing. It's not just the population per capita, and you can map that out. It's the rates themselves are increasing. What does that say? It speaks to environment. Now, the cynic would say, the total cynic would say, Oh, well, that speaks to environmental toxins and I can't really control that. So I'm just gonna die in that way. And I'm just I'm just gonna live what? I live and have the best life. I can't. Of course, I agree to part of that, but I don't agree to the complete cynicism of giving up. I think you can change your quality of food, and together we could make a big change. So that's what I would speak and say it right now. We're going to start doing that to Day, and I would tell this guy, Let's if you want, I can show you how we can make a difference. Let's get an M R I on you, and we're going to show how it's not going to increase and I would march him out and get going, and then I would show him How do I have to do? Is cooking. I think it's very easy to do this lifestyle. I would bring him to the point of knowing how easy it is. We do these other tests that I've talked about, but that's how I would respond to these particular cases. So I'm hoping in this particular podcast that you come away with like it's not that alone. You know, the movie that came out. I'm still Lisa. I'm So Lisa. It was a great movie, but it ended on such depressing like there was nothing you could do. And this is how people ended and miserable life. And clearly these two articles, New York Times and The Boston Globe, this one that I referred to today speak to the same outcome. It doesn't have to be that way, but nobody dares put this kind of story back to back with these of the things you could do because it sounds callous. It sounds inconsiderate. It sounds superficial. And yet these are the accusations that I would put towards conventional medicine for not doing this easy work in the first place anyway, so I hope you feel better. Hope you're inspired, I hope. Yes, You know, it's a situation, and I'm hoping, and you will go and think about not just little carb, high fat ketogenic diet. You look at these other aspects we've talked about. It's in your hands. I hope you activate yourself to skip going to do this. It's not that complicated. And it gives you a very optimistic outlook on life. Believe you, me? It is doable. Okay, till next time. But by this is Dr Gold Camp. I just wanted to encourage you to send in your questions, too. Dr Gold Kampuchea naturopath dot com Many of you have, And so what I've done with these questions that gotten back to mostly people I email. But some of the questions that were so good and if they're overlapping to other questions, I would combine them and try to put that into the topic of a podcast, either via one of the micro top Exeter covered in an interview. As you know, we cover a lot of topics and any given interview or some of my own sort of reporting. If you will on some of these issues. So please keep the questions coming. Feel free to send in an email and I will get back to you. One thing I want to say. A number of questions have come in in which I've given this answer and the email didn't work. So just make sure that you're receiving at the same email that you sent it in. And I think that might have been the difficulty so ill afford to your questions. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that I'm open to answer your questions. And I think this world of Kato is not just black and white. You know, it's nice that it's simple, but it's not simple for some. I'm really trying to, you know, go down as anybody, any of you who have listened to all my podcast. We started way back when history, evolution, epilepsy and so on so forth, you know. Now we're seeing some tremendous overlap in various mental disorders, schizophrenia or neurological disorders that are not just epilepsy and also just for people and losing weight. It's sometimes pretty complicated for them to engage in Kyoto, and so they need some help, And so that's the whole point of these. That's what I think I'm doing is exploring the world. Why are there other factors? So in exploring some of those other factors, we've covered addiction. We've covered hormones, have covered nutritional deficiencies. We've covered certain metabolic lab results and we'll go further. We'll even get Theo moron, genome and aspect. So these are all just contributions that make for an obstacle for some people to engage easily in the ketogenic diet. This my belief and these are things that I've discovered, and I think other people have discovered some of these things but not ever put them together. So stay listening. Send in your questions and I will definitely get back to you.
