Rodrigo Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 KRAFT - Father of the Insulin Assay "Those with cardiovascular disease not identified with diabetes… are simply undiagnosed." Dr. Joseph R. Kraft Youtube Sep 5, 2015 http://www.thefatemperor.com/subscribe Dr. Joseph R. Kraft developed and validated the ultimate (and earliest) test for diabetes back in the 1970's. His personal research and exceptional experience as a lifelong pathologist enabled him to link the vast majority of modern heart disease to undiagnosed diabetes. Kraft reached the age of 95 years in August 2015, just after myself and Dr. Jeffry Gerber conducted this interview. His legacy should be enormous - but it has gone unrecognised so far. Please share this free production as widely as possible in order to correct this rank injustice; you will also be helping the world to understand how Type 2 Diabetes can be PROPERLY diagnosed and resolved. With Kraft's early diagnosis, and the emerging realisation that diabetes can be prevented through specific dietary means, we can save millions from unnecessary cardiac death.

Rodrigo Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Sugar Crash - Documentary about Sugar and Disease (2016) Youtube 16 mars 2016 Sugar Crash from RTÉ One, is Irish documentary about the dangers of sugar consumption. We keep alcohol out of the hands of children, but we don't think twice when they are given a glas of soda or orangejuice. Children are given the diseases of alcohol (e.g. non-alcoholic fatty liver) without drinking alcohol. Because sugar is the alcohol to a child. Sugar drives the obesity and diabetic-epidemic. Featuring Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Prof. Robert Lustig, Damon Gameau and many other experts. Unfortunately some of them still believe in the myth of "calories in, calories out" theory that it's all about energy balance. But we are not combustion engines, we are survival machines, we are biological systems! Regardless of that it is still a great documentary. https://youtu.be/Tjr-l7rMYHc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He completed the Family Medicine residency at UBC before starting a private practice in Vancouver. He began combining that with part-time clinics at the STI/HIV the BC Centre for Disease Control where he eventually became the full-time Associate Director. He moved on the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Health Canada where he held senior management positions in Ottawa and Vancouver. In 1992, Dr. Wortman developed type 2 diabetes and quickly discovered that it could be controlled by restricting dietary carbohydrates. He went on to do clinical research on low-carbohydrate diets and became a little bit famous for a study he did in the Namgis First Nation of Alert Bay which was the subject of the CBC documentary film, "My Big Fat Diet". His research interest in the dietary management of obesity, pre-diabetes and diabetes led him back into clinical practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last two decades he has been performing cutting edge research elucidating how humans adapt to diets restricted in carbohydrate with a dual focus on clinical and performance applications. His work has contributed to the existing robust science of ketones and ketogenic diets, their use as a therapeutic tool to manage insulin resistance, plus their emerging potential to augment human performance and resiliency. This research indicates that that well formulated ketogenic diets result in substantial improvements in insulin resistance and the myriad of cardio-metabolic biomarkers associated with metabolic syndrome, including favorable changes in fatty acid composition and saturated fat metabolism, cholesterol and lipoprotein profiles. He has also performed seminal research on a wide range of dietary supplements (e.g., creatine, chromium, whey protein, caffeine, carnitine, HMB, etc.) that can augment performance and recovery. He has accumulated an enormous amount of laboratory and clinical data as it pertains to biomarker discovery and formulation of personalized, effective and sustainable low-carbohydrate diets. His team is currently exploring the role of nutritional ketosis induced by diet and/or supplements to: 1) reverse type-2 diabetes, 2) alter gut microbiota, 3) favorable impact tumor metabolism and health outcomes in women with advanced breast cancer, and 4) extend human physical and cognitive capabilities in elite athletes and military personnel. Dr. Volek has secured several million dollars in research funds from federal sources, industry, and foundations. He has been invited to lecture on his research nearly 200 times at scientific and industry conferences in a dozen countries. His scholarly work includes 300+ peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and five books, including a New York Times Best Seller. - - - Jeff Volek, Ph.D. -- 2016 Metabolic Therapeutics Conference Presentation Epigenix Foundation https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkUl8S70DCT66YJ30w75d6A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Brent A. Reynolds, Ph.D. -- 2016 Metabolic Therapeutics Conference Presentation Youtube Jun 15, 2016 Brent A. Reynolds, Ph.D. attended the University of Calgary where he received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in 1989 and 1994, respectively. While working of his Ph.D. thesis Reynolds’ discovered the existence of stem cells in the adult mammalian brain, a finding that overcame a century old dogma that the mature brain did not have the capacity to repair itself. After graduating Reynolds co-founded the first neural stem cell company (NeuroSpheres, Ltd.) where he was a Director and VP-Research. Here he developed a strong patent portfolio in the neural stem cell field developing and protecting protocols related to the application of stem cell technology in brain repair. Today, these patents and technology have been licensed to numerous biotechnology companies that are testing the efficacy in over half a dozen clinical trials for diseases such as spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS and pediatric disorders. After a brief hiatus, where Reynolds studied and practiced Chinese Medicine, he returned to industry and assisted in the development and launching of several products in the stem cell field while working in Vancouver, Canada. In 2004 Reynolds returned to academic science as a Professor at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland in Australia where he continued to refining the application of neural stem cells for repairing the damaged brain. In 2008, Reynolds’ was recruited to the Dept. of Neurosurgery at the University of Florida and has focused his efforts on studying aggressive pediatric and adult brain cancer and developing novel translational approaches to combat this lethal disease. Working with a multidisciplinary group of scientists the team is taking the unique approach that cancer can be managed as a chronic disease by applying the principles that have been used in ecology to manage wildlife and pest populations. Based on the lessons learned over the past 80 years by ecologists, the team is focused on using multimodal low toxicity therapeutics to enforcing a stable tumor population that exists below a threshold that has any harmful effects. Reynolds has more than 70 publications including papers in Science, Nature and Cell with several manuscripts receiving over 1000 citations. In addition, he is an inventor on 18 granted US patents and numerous patent applications. Reynolds is currently an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Neurosurgery at the University of Florida, Adjunct Professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, an Honorary Professor at the Queensland Brain Institute, Australia and Program Director for StepAhead, Australia. NIH, NHMRC and numerous foundations have funded his lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Adrienne C. Scheck, PhD -- 2016 Metabolic Therapeutics Conference Presentation Youtube Jun 15, 2016 Adrienne C. Scheck, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix Arizona. She is also an Adjunct Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University and an Associate Investigator in the Cancer Biology Program at the Arizona Cancer Center of the University of Arizona. Dr. Scheck received her undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester in NY and her PhD from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. After a postdoctoral fellowship in viral oncology at the Pennsylvania State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania she moved to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to study AIDS-related dementia. She began her studies of brain tumors while at Sloan-Kettering and moved to the Barrow Neurological Institute in 1989. Current work in her laboratory has 2 major goals. The first is to devise novel therapeutic regimens to improve survival and minimize side effects for patients with malignant brain tumors. To this end, her laboratory has been studying the use of the ketogenic diet (KD) for the treatment of malignant brain tumors. Their work has shown that the KD reduces the growth of malignant brain tumors through a variety of mechanisms, and it potentiates the effect of radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy. These preclinical studies have led to a clinical trial for patients with glioblastoma multiforme (www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT02046187). The second main goal of her research is to identify markers that improve on the current methods of diagnosis and prognosis for this devastating disease. In addition to her love for horses, one of Adrienne’s pet projects comes from her interest in science education. Her laboratory team includes 7-10 high school students and college undergraduates. She directs a program that places high school students in research laboratories around the Phoenix area and gives Cancer Biology lectures to area high school and college students.

Rodrigo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Mike Dancer -- 2016 Metabolic Therapeutics Conference Presentation Youtube Jun 15, 2016 Mike’s world changed dramatically when – aged 34 and without warning – he collapsed in an epileptic seizure while working at the University of Birmingham, UK. It was his first. More followed. He was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and was prescribed increasing amounts of anti-epilepsy drugs. These did not reduce the seizures and came with escalating side effects. He came across Dominic D’Agostino on the internet who suggested that Mike try a dietary approach to managing the seizures, through implementing & adapting nutritional ketosis – which had previously only been administered to children with epilepsy. Eight years later, Mike continues to use this dietary approach for managing seizures, through careful combination of exercise and diet. Further information for Mike’s nutritional management of a disease given a fatal prognosis can be found at: http://www.matthewsfriends.org/about-us/our-stories/adult/mike-dancer/ ... http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/from-nearly-rip-to-ripped-how-mike-got-a-second-chance.html ... http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/whats-on/find-things-to-do/beating-epilepsy-through-diet-4819655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Eugene Fine, MD -- 2016 Metabolic Therapeutics Conference Presentation Youtube Jun 15, 2016 Eugene Fine, MD Clinical Professor Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Dr. Eugene Fine's research interests include inhibition of aggressive cancers by an insulin inhibiting ketogenic diet-human trials as well as pre-clinical study. Additionally, he is also interested in coupling dietary interventions with selected cancer drugs. Dr. Fine's professional interests have centered on: Non-invasive measurement of physiologic and molecular function, especially with radiotracer technology. This was applied to the heart and especially to measurement of kidney function and its role and contribution to hypertension; and more recently has focused on radiotracers for diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis, and identification of cancers for appropriate therapy. The effects of dietary and nutritional manipulation, and especially of reducing carbohydrate content, on altering our metabolic environment. Carbohydrate restriction in humans mimics many of the metabolic effects of fasting, and may be systematically studied using appropriate in vitro, cell culture, animal models and in vivo biochemical and radiotracer techniques. Of particular interest is the potential for differential systemic metabolic effects on normal compared to malignant/transformed cells.

Rodrigo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ketogenic Diets and Ketone Bodies in Treatment of Neurotrauma- Bryan Barksdale MD/PHD Candidate Physicians for Ancestral Health Youtube Jul 12, 2016 Fasting has been thought for millennia to be useful for the treatment of many diseases including epilepsy. This notion was confirmed by researchers in the early 20th century. This finding among others gave rise to the ketogenic diet. Ketogenic diets, which can be described as a high fat, adequate protein, and low carbohydrate diet, have had a resurgence in recent decades for the treatment of drug resistant epilepsy in bothg children and adults. More recently there have been more liberal versions of the diet created such as the MCT KD, Modified Atkins Diet (MAD), Low Glycemic Index Treatment (LGIT) and these seem to show similar efficacy to the classical ketogenic diet. Even more recent is the development of exogenous ketone bodies in the form of salts and esters that can be administered without necessarily having to change diet to reach therapeutic blood levels. Research is now showing promising applications to other neurologic diseases. In particular I will focus on the KD and exogenous ketone bodies in the treatment of neurotrauma and ischemic stroke. I will review the pathophysiology of these diseases. I will review the relevant animal data and the limited human data. I will discuss the theoretical and known neuroprotective mechanisms of the ketogenic diet and ketone bodies in the nervous system. Briefly these mechanisms include replenishing neuronal energy stores, lowering reactive oxygen species, increasing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways, and decreasing apoptosis. I will finish by discussing the possible ways they could be implemented clinically and also the limitations and barriers to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
