Now here’s some hot news for all of us. Turns out consuming MCT oil (like one would in their daily bulletproof coffee, or drizzled on meals) dampens the effect of endotoxin on the body. What does this mean for us? It means that if I am correct in assuming that endotoxin is directly triggering cyst growth, regular consumption of MCT oil should reduce endotoxin, or at least its inflammatory effects (which are mediated through triggering TNFalpha).

And this, in turn, would be yet another powerful way to reduce cyst growth for us PKD patients. I am consuming MCT oil daily since day 1 and now there is another impactful reason to keep on doing it. Easiest way to do it? Start drinking bulletproof coffee tomorrowwhile doing a 16/8 intermittent fasting regimen. Yes, you drink it in the 16 hours you’re fasting. And no, you cant skimp on the beans or butter. Butter needs to be grass-fed, beans need to be tested mold-free, MCT oil needs to be at least 70% C8 and preferably from a glass bottle. Recipe? See me make it on YouTube.
