(Only China has more obese children). This increases the risk for various 'lifestyle' illnesses.

Dr. Nathan's Original Article on Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Based Ketogenic Diet Published in an International Journal

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

TO ALL OUR COLLEAGUES AND

ESPECIALLY OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS 

WHO TEACH US MORE THAN ANY BOOK CAN!

Our original article on a unique improved version of the classical ketogenic diet using a high polyunsaturated fatty acid ketogenic diet in place of the commonly used mixed fat ketogenic diet has been published and is available on Pubmed. In this we have shown that we can achieve an increase in seizure reduction in a cohort of patients who had reached a plateau or failed to achieve good control on a mixed fat ketogenic diet.

Please read the article and most importantly please rate the article on the link given below. Rating the article gives the article more visibility and enthuse us to further push our research frontiers.

Our next original article will be on our successful trial on not only halting but also reversing the relentless progression in a neurodegenerative disorder, namely, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy or more commonly known as PSP or Parkinson’s plus. Could this be a forerunner for halting other neurodegenerative disorders?
