AcknowledgmentsLike my previous book, this one would not exist were it not for the dedication and persistence of Richard L. Veech, M.D., Ph.D., who, over many years, has pursued what ketones do and how they might be used as an alternative fuel to make lives better for people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and a myriad of other conditions. There are not enough words to express how sincerely grateful we are for what he has done to give our family extra quality years with my husband and our children's father, Steve. I also wish to thank M. Todd King, Yoshira Kashiwaya, M.D., and the many others who have worked alongside Dr. Veech in the pursuit of knowledge about ketones.I also wish to acknowledge Theodore B. Vanltallie, M.D., for his mentorship and his tireless efforts in getting information about ketones as an alternative fuel out to the scientific community.I want to express my deepest appreciation to our helpers, who have made it possible for us to provide Steve with "assisted living" at home for nearly three years now, surrounded by people who truly love and care for him, our daughter Joanna Newport, her husband Forrest Rand, and other caregivers Sybil Kennedy, Joseph Brust, and Nemuel Major. Without them, taking care of Steve at home would be truly impossible. I also wish to thank Joanna for her graphic designs and her help with keeping up my website
