In a bit of practical physiology that I never learned in public school but have since via the internet, when the body depletes its blood sugar, after it’s sucked whatever it can out of glycogen stores in the muscles, it turns to fatty acid-derived compounds called ketones, manufactured in the liver, that oxidize fat into usable forms of energy as an alternative to glucose.
Regarding neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.3.
Low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are strongly correlated with most or all of these conditions. Since these conditions do not cause these low levels, and since the immune system is weakened and made more inflammatory (self destructive, indiscriminate cell killing - an immune response normally reserved for multicellular parasites such as intestinal worms, AKA helminths), and since these neurodegenerative diseases are caused by, at least in part, excessive inflammation, it is obvious (or should be obvious) that low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels contribute strongly to the risk of most or all of these forms of dementia.
Dr. Terry Wahls came down with multiple sclerosis as she graduated from medical school and has developed a protocol including a ketogenic diet that keeps her disease in remission.
