Hey guys, I wanted to create a short video from this woman who wanted to know how to handle

the situation because she went to a doctor and told the doctor that she was in ketosis.

And the doctor says, oh my gosh, don't do that.

It's life-threatening, ketones are poisons, okay?

So she wanted to know how to respond to that.

So I'm going to talk about that.

Yeah, so I've done a lot of videos on this but I'm going to do one more and it has to

do with this one confusion of thinking diabetic ketoacidosis is the same thing as nutritional

ketosis.

They're not the same.

There is a condition when you're a type one diabetic, when you run out of insulin,

you don't have any more insulin.

So therefore your ketones go up and up and up and up and you become very acidic and

that's dangerous, okay?

So that's one thing.

If you're not a type one diabetic, you're going to produce insulin.

So there is no risk of getting ketoacidosis if your pancreas makes insulin because what

you're going to do is go into ketosis by just dropping your carbohydrates so your body

can then turn your own fat and the dietary fat into ketones.

So the truth is that ketones can be very therapeutic to your body.

They are not poisons, okay?

And there's a lot of research being done right now on using ketones on brain injury,
