Italian study indicates ketogenic diet may help ICU patients survive

 A pilot study was just completed in Italy using similar diet changes that we tried with my wife Analiza Scholes.  Kudos to Dr. Samir G. Sukkar and his team for taking on this research. The results do clearly show lower inflammation markers for those on the ketogenic diet and suggest changing ICU feeds away from the standard high carbohydrate/sugar feeds may save lives.

The study focuses on COVID-19 patients. As is well known, cytokine storm can happen for a multitude of infections and is an ancient phenomenon.  This research could literally save millions beyond just the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'm looking forward to others continuing on with this research and the eventual improvement in ICU and general hospital feeding protocols.  The following quote from this study gives me hope that eventually the medical community will move from symptom treatment with medication and also include dietary interventions.

"Differently from other studies in which nutrition is considered a support to drug therapy, this study is the first to underline the role of clinical nutrition therapy as a pathophysiological support to drug therapy in improving the prognosis of not only COVID-19 but also in other infectious diseases in which immunomodulation could have a role in reducing hyperinflammation syndromes."

Results of ketosis in a severe COVID-19 ARDS stricken intubated patient

UPDATE: 12/07/2020 The following scientific journal article explains in detail why our experiment dramatically improved oxygen demand.  It also suggests the use of ketone esters which just last week were tried in a new study with almost identical results but instead of waiting 18 hours with fasting, showed improvement in half an hour. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/2020/6401341/ Short videos with background on why the above paper was written: https://youtu.be/M4KQEgFTrYc https://youtu.be/Ooa6EQi2bB8 New ongoing study to watch: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04573764 Summary This is just an N-of-1 last resort experiment we did in hope of saving my wife Analiza Scholes after her ICU doctors/pulmonologists had lost hope and had no other options available in saving her from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) brought on by COVID-19.  We did see remarkable improvements/reduction in her oxygen demand within 24 hours and significant improvement in her blood gas ...

Rabbit vs Cavy - backyard meat production

Image
Over the years I've raised both rabbits and cavies (guinea pigs, cuy) on both commercial feeds and free gathered forage.  I've eaten cavy in Peru but only in the last year started breeding and raising them for meat. There are pluses and minuses to both but I far prefer the taste of cavy.  It's like comparing dark fatty chicken or pork (cavy) with chicken breast (rabbit). Cavy are easier to raise in movable pens for grazing my lawn and require less supplemental feed.  I have less issues with cavy production in extreme heat and cold, although I've been very successful breeding both species year-round. Rabbits require more skill to deal with containment, weather extremes and year-round breeding. For me, rabbit processing is much quicker but maybe that will change as I get more skill with scalding, scraping or burning cavy hair. Rabbits Harder to capture after they escape. Require more secure caging. Typically kept in individual cages but can be kept communally. Burrowing, ...
