    We use coconut oil , too, and i read about Dr. Newport and her husbands amazing recovery after he started taking the coconut oil in his morning oatmeal.
    I make Bulletproof Coffee in the blender with the coconut oil and now using Kerrygold Butter, and I do think that it energizes my mind aster than jut regular coffee, and I feel ready to to to the fitness center and swim after having my morning coffee.

    While ketones have been widely promoted recently in the health maintenance fields, I personally have to disagree with the hypothesis that ketones are "good for you".

    The simplest ketone is acetone, or dimethylketone, also known as fingernail polish remover.

    "Every day, your body breaks down fats into organic molecules called ketones. Acetone is one of three types of ketone bodies. Your liver makes ketones, and your body can use them for fuel. However, accumulation of ketones in the body can be dangerous. Acetone poisoning can occur when there’s an abnormally high amount of ketones. This is a condition known as ketoacidosis.

    If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you can develop in ketoacidosis if you don’t manage your glucose levels properly.

    Prolonged starvation can also lead to ketoacidosis. In that case, your body depletes your carbohydrate stores and begins to break down stored fats into ketones. Blood ketone levels can accumulate rapidly and grow dangerously high."

    See: https://www.healthline.com/health/acetone-poisoning#causes

    Propanol, the commonest type of household-use alcohol, is widely used as a cleaning agent, disinfectant of the skin, preparatory agent for injections, and solvent, as well as a fuel in some types of heat-producing devices. The human liver metabolizes propanol into acetone:

    "Isopropyl alcohol and its metabolite, acetone, act as central nervous system (CNS) depressants.[31]Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption. Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, hypothermia, low blood pressure, shock, respiratory depression, and coma.[31] Overdoses may cause a fruity odor on the breath as a result of its metabolism to acetone."

    See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol#Toxicology

    For these reasons, it strikes me as probably a mistake to partake of any dietary means or constraints which can increase ketone levels in the body.

    ummm, just the messenger. I still believe in CO and what I've read about it's benefits.

    I take 12 prescription pills daily and most of them I will be taking daily for the rest of my life. I use a plastic pill box with seven morning, noon, night sections. On Friday morning each week I sit down and sort my pills for the coming week and order refills to pharmacy online. I can only get 30 pills for each prescription which is irksome. 60 would be better but the docs only want to renew 30 at a time to avoid overtaking. How nice it would be to take one large pill a day and be done with it.

    At first, I thought you were going somewhere really fun with that, but you added the 'water' word. My daughter sent me a sign on text the other day that said Old people don't have to drink or do drugs to get a buzz, we can just stand up fast. :D
