D.L. Beta Hydroxybutyrate Is Dangerous or Ineffective?

And there's a mountain of studies that clearly show that D.L. beta hydroxybutyrate suppresses seizures, inhibits cancer, suppresses reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, protects the liver, promotes wound healing, reduces inflammation, protects against hypoglycemia and stroke, is protected against loop of dystrophy, and a number of rare disorders. So I'm just kind of looking through all the publications I have in my file here. And these effects would not be observed if D.L. beta hydroxybutyrate was dangerous or ineffective, which was proposed and discussed on the podcast. And you also need to consider that approximately 10 million doses of D.L. beta hydroxybutyrate salts have been consumed worldwide from the proof that product to the forevergreen, to ketokana cells quite well. And at least 10 million doses, I believe, have been sold. And there's little, if any, I don't think any adverse medical side effects have been reported with this. Just one besides diarrhea and kind of loose stools if the dose gets too high. And I know some individuals that are dosing really high. If the D.L. beta hydroxybutyrate was toxic, it would have been reported, you know, by all these people using it, and also would be reported in the medical literature for the use of, you know, to treat a variety of different medical conditions. And keep in mind that they're using the pure sodium beta hydroxybutyrate, which, you know, there's a lot of discussion about sodium being dangerous. And, you know, I think that's the case if it's kept at a particular level and not, you know, anything is toxic if it gets too high. But it's also pretty important to balance out beta hydroxybutyrate and to spread it across various minerals. So they have a beta hydroxybutyrate salt product that has potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium together would be ideal. I've really gotten hundreds of emails from people that have given me tremendous feedback on the ketone salts. And feedback on performance and feedback for therapeutic use of ketone salts. I don't advise using ketone salts for therapeutic purposes because clinical trials need to be done, but that does not stop people from using them. And parents, you know, reporting back that their child is now able to achieve nutritional ketosis and getting many benefits from it. So I think taking up a lot of time here, and we've covered a lot of ground, probably more ground than we needed to. And if you have any, I've enjoyed kind of looking through all these questions. I haven't looked through all of them yet, but I looked through about 80% of them, I think. There are excellent questions. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to maybe being on again and handling more.
