(4) eat at least 25 grams/day of fiber; (5) eat an average of 4 servings/ week of alliums (e.g., onions, garlic) and crucifers (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts); and (6) avoid saturated fat.
Mary T. Newport, MD, FAAP (Neonatologist; author of What If There Was a Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease and No One Knew?) Mary Newport, M.D., addressed the use of medium chain fatty acids (MCTs) (especially found in supplement form as MCT Oil, and which comprise 60% of coconut oil) to treat and reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Especially in connection with the ongoing reversal of her husband’s early onset Alzheimer’s, Dr. Newport cited ketones (vs. glucose, the body’s customary fuel) as an “alternative fuel for the brain.” Ketones are produced when the liver and kidney break down fatty acids for energy. Dr. Newport cited these interesting facts in connection with her theory: (1) by 2050, 15 million people in the United States will have
Alzheimer’s; (2) breast milk contains 10% MCTs; (3) ketones provide 2/3 of the body’s fuel during starvation; (4) ketones protect cellular energy; (5) therapeutic coconut oil ideally should be virgin, organic, and raw/unrefined; and (6) to prevent indigestion, cramping, or diar- rhea, treatment can begin with 1 teaspoon of MCT or coconut oil per meal and can increase gradually until the goal of 4-9 tablespoons/ day is reached.

Stephen Sinatra, MD, CNS, FACN (Internationally board-certified cardiologist; certified nutrition specialist; certified bioenergetic psycho-therapist; certified anti-aging specialist; author of The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology) Stephen Sinatra, M.D., emphasized the importance of treat-
ing cardiovascular disease (abnormal function of the heart or blood vessels) at the cellular level. (See also
www.heartmdinstitute.com ). Since diseased hearts lack enough adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the source of cellular energy, they require restoration of their energy through various nutritional supplements: ubiquinol (the best-ab- sorbed CoQ10); acetyl L-carnitine (ACL) [an amino acid that rapidly protects the powerhouse (mitochondria) of all cells]; D-ribose (a simple sugar that can protect heart attack-induced cell damage and help rejuvenate blood-deprived heart muscles); and magnesium (critical to proper heart function). While the body requires D-ribose to create ATP, it uses ACL and
CoQ10 to recycle ATP efficiently. Magnesium, which participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, helps boost ATP produc- tion to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease.
