Re: ketogenic diet; Essential fatty acids+coconut+mct oil

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike, I need to clarify that I (probably ) have PDCD (Pyruvate

Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency-a thiamine {vitamin B1}

dependency disorder), NOT one of the more " common " varieties

of mito......at least all my tests have been pointing in that direction

for many years.

The ketogenic diet is generally the diet used for treating PDCD.

I've been on modified keto diet for about a year and it has been

one of the few things that has REALLY worked for me. My most

severe neuro-type symptoms (of 22 years) are probably 40 %

better than a year ago, though pain has not improved a greart

deal.

Considering I just found out 3 weeks ago that PDCD is actually

classified under the umbrella of mito disease and just started

reading about mito diseases (besides PDCD) , I know just about

nothing of the other types of mito diseases and I don't know how

it would work for someone else.

Best Wishes,

Anita
