Hello Dr. Berg, I'm so excited to share the following success story! Both of the men I will describe are in their early to mid 60s. My younger brother was plagued by a number of health issues when he decided to try the keto diet after observing some tremendous positive effects in a work colleague. He began to follow the keto program in earnest and within three months was taken off of high blood pressure medication. The second medication to go was for high cholesterol - despite the fact that he had never eaten so much fat in his life his cholesterol levels normalized! After several years of being medicated for type 2 diabetes and exercising a tremendous amount of caution, his medical team began to drop his medications and after about a year and a half he was removed from his diabetic medications all together! He is still extremely conscientious and measures his blood sugars every morning to make sure that he stays in remission. Additionally, he dropped about 80 pounds and saw his inflammation levels drop by 65%! That was all 3 years ago and counting. My husband had experienced severe psoriasis from the time he was 12 years of age. It was so bad that he had never worn shorts, had never worn short sleeved shirts, and would never swim in his own pool with anyone other than immediate family. When he got into his late 50s he developed psoriatic arthritis and it had become a real challenge. Basically he just went from flare to flare and it would take weeks or several months even to resolve before inevitably the next flare would take off. Inspired by my brother's success, (certainly not my sage advice), he took on the keto diet and within three or four months his skin had completely cleared up! I mean not a single spot of psoriasis on his whole body! Very quickly he also went into a remission of his psoriatic arthritis to the extent that his arthrologist has told him "not to think of it as a divorce but rather as a separation" since he has been in remission for long enough that unless he begins to experience problems again, they don't have to keep seeing one another! My husband had been somewhat overweight, and has gone from a 38waist to a 33 waist gor the first time since his 30s. It has been two years and we can't be more delighted with the outstanding results. We have every motivation to stay the course for the rest of our lives - the quality of which has been immeasurably improved by Keto and your extremely informative input. I am in a position to offer guidance to others facing myriad expressions of Inflammation Syndrome and I it makes me happy to steer folks in your direction. Your work is important and it is appreciated. Thank you so very much!
