DEDICATION
This is dedicated to the memory of Steven Jerry Newport, my best friend and husband of forty-three years, who made it possible for me to be both a mother and a doctor. He said taking care of our girls was the best job he ever had. He was an active, intelligent, and creative person, helpful in every way to everyone, and one of the most pleasant people you could ever meet. He was well aware of the toll Alzheimer s disease was taking on him and fully embraced the idea of ketones as an alternative fuel for the brain. He was a willing and eager participant in his reprieve from the disease, first by taking ketogenic medium-chain triglycerides and coconut oil, then a ketone ester in a pilot study of one patient. We were given at least three extra good years with Steve, thanks to ketogenic therapies.
Steve lost his battle with Alzheimer s disease and Lewy body dementia on January 2, 2016. This book represents his legacy to the world.

About the Author
FOREWORD
Dr. Mary T. Newport, author of this invaluable compilation of up-to-date information about ketogenic diets and supplements, could not have foreseen how seriously her life would be affected by her untimely confrontation with a wholly unexpected adversary-Alzheimer s disease-induced dementia (ADd). In the space of a few months, her existence as a busy neonatologist and homemaker was transformed. And in the subsequent course of her courageous campaign against this implacable neurodegenerative disorder, she became a model of initiative and perseverance. These qualities were her strongest weapons in the fight to save her beloved husband, Steve, from rapidly evolving dementia. During this protracted battle, she found a treatment approach-not a cure-that worked surprisingly well for Steve for almost four years.
Sadly, misfortune challenged her at a time when she should have been allowed to continue to enjoy her marriage to Steve unimpeded. It was his generosity of spirit that enabled her to attend medical school, while he was content to stay at home and care for their young children.
But fate intervened. In 2001, at age 51, Steve Newport, in the midst of a promising career as an accountant, developed early-onset dementia (which post-mortem studies disclosed was caused by a virulent combination of Alzheimer s disease with a condition known as Lewy body dementia). Deterioration of his memory and cognitive skills progressed with alarming speed, and by 2006 he was unable to function in his job and had to give up driving. As his illness continued to progress, he became progressively more confused and disoriented and eventually was unable to carry out simple household chores or self-care without assistance.
The collective experience and professional knowledge of Mary s Newport s medical colleagues had no promising treatments to suggest. Steve s situation soon reached a point where most spouses would have thrown up their hands and accepted palliative care as the only humane intervention possible.
But surrender is not in Mary Newport s lexicon. By will alone, she forced herself to conduct a systematic search of the medical literature, hunting for any evidence of a treatment approach that might counter the process that was inexorably destroying brain functions that had made Steve such an admirable human being. As her mission progressed, Mary found her first glimmer of hope in the writings of Dr. Richard L. Veech, a Harvard Medical School graduate who went on to take graduate training in biochemistry at Britain s University of Oxford. There Veech earned the doctor of philosophy degree (DPhil) for studies carried out under the tutelage of Sir Hans Krebs, discoverer of the famed Krebs cycle. After Oxford, Veech joined the intramural research staff at the National Institutes of Health and founded the Laboratory of Metabolic Control, which, at age eighty-two, he still heads.
Krebs had an interest in ketone body metabolism, which was transmitted to Veech. But the principal ketone bodies, D betahydroxybutyrate ( D - OHB) and acetoacetate (AcAc) did not come into their own scientifically until 1966-67. That s when a group of clinical scientists working under the leadership of Dr. George F. Cahill Jr. at Harvard s Peter Bent Brigham Hospital discovered the importance of ketone bodies for brain function and human survival. These investigators found that, contrary to the belief of earlier scientists, the ketones produced in abundance by the liver during fasting are far from being potentially dangerous waste by-products of a starving organism. Rather, they serve as the brain s primary alternative fuel when its usual fuel, glucose, is in short supply. Unlike the fatty acids from which they are derived, ketone bodies can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), after which they are readily metabolized by the brain s parenchymal cells and neuronal structures.
The extra ketones manufactured during periods of starvation have been found to alleviate the brain s destructive dependence on glucose derived from the breakdown of the body s stores of essential protein. Thus, it gradually became clear to knowledgeable scientists that the ketone body safety net is the outcome of an evolutionarily determined adaptation designed to prolong and save the lives of starving mammals, humans included. As a result of the original observations by Cahill and his co-workers, ketone bodies, derived from the body s fat stores, became recognized as a life-prolonging and lifesaving fuel for individuals whose sources of dietary energy were cut off by famine or other interruptions, including politically- or religiously-motivated fasting.
As a consequence of her desperate literature search, Dr. Newport came across several articles that gave reason to hope that placing Steve on a ketogenic diet and/or feeding him coconut oil-derived medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplements known to raise blood ketone levels to a modest degree would provide his brain with sufficient energy from D - OHB and AcAc to rescue his failing brain function. Although the precise reason why this approach is often effective is not entirely clear, the rationale for trying it is scientifically sound. As reported by Stephen Cunnane and his co-workers at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, as well as by several other investigators, incontrovertible evidence exists that, in general, elderly individuals and patients with classical late onset Alzheimer s dementia are unable to use the brain s normal fuel, glucose, with normal efficiency. This reduction in brain glucose uptake is thought to give rise to hypometabolism (reflecting a degree of energy shortage) occurring in brain structures inv
