I want to give you some really good

information to hopefully end seizures

okay if you have them what is a seizure

it’s an uncontrollable shaking motion of

either your whole body or one part of

your body

with different levels of unconsciousness

so some people you can go completely

unconscious other people you can go

partially unconscious

and a seizure is in a single episode of

that event and epilepsy is a condition

where you have multiple or ongoing

seizures now they’re triggered by

various things fever head injury

infection in the brain choking alcohol

or drug withdrawal extreme low blood

sugar can trigger them certain drugs and

toxins can trigger them and by the way

as a side note uh since we’re talking

about toxicity in relationship to

triggering a seizure B6 is an effective

remedy to help lower the toxicity and

then of course you have various types of

stresses or even high blood pressure

that can trigger a seizure event and

there’s many theories in what causes a

seizure but typically it’s a hyper

excitability of a nerve and if you look

up seizure and Wikipedia you’ll have a

lot of great information all describing

what it is and the various medications

that you can use unfortunately with a

lot of side effects and then when you

get to this thing called the ketogenic

diet you’ll see that there’s low quality

evidence to show that the ketogenic diet

is effective

but you can use the ketogenic diet for a

very specific type of epilepsy which is

called drug resistant epilepsy so if the

drugs don’t work then you can use the

ketogenic diet I found that very

interesting in fact it’s a great

marketing strategy to position the

ketogenic diet as some side thing that

you might want to try if the drugs don’t

work first and the truth is that there’s

hardcore data that shows that the

ketogenic diet

is very effective at at least

eliminating seizures by a factor of 50

to 70 percent and it’s used by many

doctors in the medical profession in

different hospitals but there’s several

big differences uh with the ketogenic

diet used for like seizures for children

versus maybe the ketogenic diet that

you’re on right now and the big

difference that I see is they are using

for children especially probably the

dirtiest keto diet that you can be on I

mean the ingredients are so unhealthy

and the definition of dirty Keto is

you’re using any type of ingredients

that you can find regardless of quality

as long as the carbohydrates are low but

with this diet pertaining to epilepsy

you are using a slightly different ratio

you’re using more fat to protein so it’s

like four to one four times more fat

than you are protein and what that’s

going to do it’s going to get you into

deeper ketosis and the deeper in ketosis

you are the better the results for your

brain now this is talk about a ketone

okay because a ketone really is the

answer to seizures and many other brain

problems what is a ketone it’s a

byproduct of fat okay some people call

it an alternative fuel source when it’s

not an alternative fuel source it is the

main fuel source our bodies were

designed to run on glucose is an

alternative fuel source if you disagree

with me then how do you explain the fact

that our bodies were designed to store

and run on a lot more fat than glucose

if we were to run on glucose as the

primary fuel source we wouldn’t be here

now a long time ago we didn’t have all

you can eat buffets we didn’t have all

these available snacks that we have now

we had to go hunt for our foods and

there were probably days that we didn’t

eat and that’s why our bodies were

originally designed to tap into our own

fat reserve and make ketones

we only have a very limited amount of

glucose in our bodies that it’s stored

in our liver you probably have like a

day’s worth that’s it so from a survival

standpoint fat and ketones are really

the primary fuel source that our bodies

are designed to run on so we flip this

and now people have this idea that you

know sugar is normal and we can include

a lot of carbs because that’s the

brain’s primary fuel source it’s just

led to all sorts of problems with blood

sugars pre-diabetes diabetes and even

type 3 diabetes which is Alzheimer’s and

so the brain is heavily affected by

glucose if the brain has a choice

between a ketone and glucose it will

always pick the Ketone first as its fuel

source even if they’re together in your

blood so the brain loves ketones all

right so let’s talk about ketones in

relationship to this problem

ketones have some really cool properties

one is it has anti-convulsant properties

okay what’s a convulsion it’s a seizure

this sudden violent irregular Movement

by your body ketones stabilize the

excitability of your neurons and so if

your neurons are hyper excited and out

of control ketones can calm them down

ketones also modulate or control

neurotransmitters and ketones just do a

lot for the brain including the

hippocampus the main area of the brain

that’s responsible for memories and

learning and so many people have a

problem with that when they’re not on

the ketogenic diet as in dementia but

ketones have been found to increase the

hippocampus

mitochondrial biogenesis by 43 percent

and there’s definitely an association

between mitochondrial energy and

epilepsy ketones protect the brain

protect the neurons against oxidative

stress ketones increase the amount of

ATP in the neurons to allow them to

function better way more than glucose so

the answer to seizures is to get on the

healthy version of the ketogenic diet so

I do want to mention some of the

ingredients that they use for children

on this ketogenic diet but first I just

want to mention all the side effects

that occur from this diet you have

number one hypoglycemia well the only

reason that you would have hypoglycemia

on this diet is that you are not really

in ketosis long enough for your body to

adapt to it maybe you’re doing on the

weekends and then but not during the

weekday now there is one point about

this because when you no longer consume

the amount of glucose and sugar and you

don’t other foods that are low in carb

your blood sugars will drop but you

won’t feel bad but the fact that you’re

not putting sugar into your body is

going to reflect in lower blood sugars

and it could be down down to the 60s

okay and sometimes even high 50s and you

can still feel fine but sometimes people

don’t differentiate this and they think

oh my gosh that’s dangerous you have

hypoglycemia yet you have no symptoms

and they they recommend that you have

orange juice or sugar okay every 20

minutes to get the blood sugar up well

that’s just going to create more and

more of the problem so the way to solve

hypoglycemia is to really make sure your

body is adapted to ketones so you can

actually run on this fat Fuel and you’re

not susceptible to the highs and lows of

the blood sugar now another side effect

that occurs with this type of diet is

acidosis okay so the person is just too

acid so that’s going to lead to

potentially kidney stones as a side

effect vomiting as a side effect

nauseousness sleeplessness but there’s a

really simple solution just get on the

healthy version of the ketogenic diet

where you’re going to offset all the

acidity that’s generated with the

ketones by having more of the alkaline

type non-starchy vegetables okay so we

will talk about that in a minute but I

just wanted to mention there’s a very

simple solution but if you’re on the the

dirty version of this ketogenic diet boy

you’re gonna have a lot of side effects

and so there goes the compliance you’re

not going to stick with it for a very

long time and also lemons or limes in

your water for the citrates

so that way you can really bring down

the risk factor for these kidney stones

not to mention drinking enough water

like two and a half liters of water

every day and you will definitely

prevent kidney stones now of course if

you’re a small child you probably don’t

need to drink that much now there’s also

other side effects relating to nutrient

deficiencies and of course when someone

is in the hospital being prescribed the

ketogenic diet by a dietitian they’re

not going to differentiate the synthetic

vitamins versus the natural vitamins or

food-based vitamins they’re going to

give you synthetics and other things in

these vitamins that I don’t think are

very healthy but there are several

vitamin groups that um you should always

consider when doing the ketogenic diet

okay number one the B vitamins

especially B1 number two the

electrolytes potassium magnesium calcium

sodium chloride as well as the other

minerals as well like trace minerals and

I also recommend omega-3 fatty acids

okay like in cod liver oil would be best

but you can do fish oils another side

effect is skin rashes but that’s

probably because of the omega-3 fatty

acid deficiency that um

that’s not handled but I’m going to

explain why they usually have those

rashes in a second so now let’s get into

what is a typical diet for these

children on the dirty ketogenic plan so

they’re recommending things like

sugar-free Jello sugar-free soda

mayonnaise which is just filled with soy

oil which is high in omega-6 which is

going to create a lot of skin problems

inflammation of the brain heavy whipping

cream so it’s probably just regular

whipping cream from grain-fed cows which

definitely have higher amounts of

omega-6 and then they also allow like

saccharin which is an artificial

sweetener and things like that which you

know have problems there’s also this

thing called a keto kale Shake powder

right and the first ingredient is

refined soy oil and it’s in a powder and

then they have the casein which is milk

protein and lactose which is milk sugar

and then corn syrup salads which I’m not

sure why they add that they add some

whey protein powder and then they add

these two oils

fungus oils when they process these oils

they use chemical solvents which are

linked as a neurotoxin you see when

you’re trying to feed the brain

nutrition you don’t want to use

neurotoxins and the side effects from

these oils are diarrhea vomiting

bloating and dehydration so here’s what

I recommend if this is for your child or

yourself and you have seizures you

definitely need to get on the ketogenic

diet how do you generate ketones well

you can do it through the diet by going

low carb but definitely do the healthy

version but you can also do intermittent

fasting let’s say you just if it’s a

child just do three meals with no snacks

make sure the meals are healthy enough

if you’re an adult and you have seizures

boy you can generate a lot of ketones

and get into deep ketosis just by doing

one meal a day okay and doing fasting

very very powerful now you can also take

ketones as a supplement to increase

ketones because remember if given the

choice even if you’re not on a pure

ketogenic diet if if there’s ketones in

the blood the brain will extract the

ketones over the glucose so that’s just

another little tip for those people that

need to increase the amount of ketones

for the brain you want to eat foods that

are high in fat a little bit lower in

protein okay because too much protein

can stimulate insulin and that’ll knock

you out of ketosis so different sausages

are really fatty like more than the

protein you don’t want to do lean

protein anything

another way to get more fat is to buy

Hamburger that’s more fatty don’t get

the lean hamburger if you’re going to

eat things like chicken make sure the

Skin’s on it don’t do the lean chicken

breast cook with more butter put

grass-fed butter on your vegetables and

definitely you need to beef up no pun

intended non-starchy vegetables as much

as possible that will offset the

ketoacidosis the pH problem it’ll give

you the minerals that you need it help

keep the liver clean of a lot of this

fat that’s being mobilized through the

liver avocados are really fatty you can

also do fatty nuts the macadamia nut

pecans are really fatty eggs are really

good cod liver oil now for a child you

can get cod liver oil that virtually

does not taste like fish it has a lemon

flavor to it and that’s when I have I

don’t taste any fish I drink it goes

down easy I’ll take two tablespoons a

day and I’m good to go and you can even

get your B vitamins from nutritional

yeast I like to add nutritional yeast

non-fortified to my salad with some

dressing on there that’s like olive oil

and some balsamic vinaigrette and it

gives it a little bit of a Cheesy flavor

but that way you can get all your B

vitamins as well also you can add

exercise okay exercise will also

increase more ketones in your body so if

you add that now you’re in deep ketosis

that’s going to greatly help your

seizures I have a little bit more

information on a really good diet that

will be a little bit higher in fat and

less protein and I put that up right
