Yes.

So that's really, in my mind, I think of that as kind of the golden era of metabolism.

When were ketones first isolated, BHB specifically?

They didn't understand why.

Mechanistically, I mean.

Because if I understand correctly, Dom, if you took 100 patients who are drug resistant, so they're having nonstop seizures despite all the best available pharmacology, my recollection, this could be incorrect and you can update this,

is that a ketogenic diet will completely cure one-third of them, will cause about a 50% reduction in seizure activity for another third of them, while one-third of them will still be unresponsive.

Is that still directionally correct?

You've obviously experimented a lot with a ketogenic diet yourself.

I mean, when did you first try a ketogenic diet?

I was about to say, the strips were $5 to $10 each at the time.

Yeah, you hooked me up at one point and we were able to get them for like $1.50 or something.

But I was going through three a day.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Just don't tell the USDA that or the RDA.

They still want you to believe that 0.8 grams per kilogram is all you need.

Don't be totally facetious.

I mean, these guys are out to lunch and they just want to cling onto this idea that protein is bad.

What do you think are the most common mistakes people make when they're trying to enter nutritional ketosis?
