Hi David,
a little bit of extra oil a couple times a month does not lead to ketosis. unfortunately not ;-) (if it would almost everybody in the western countries would be in ketosis. so happy, skinny people all over the place, no one overweight a.s.o... ;-)
unless the carb intake is down to below 20-50g/day you can gulp down as much oil as you like. no ketosis. sorry.
I am on lchf for quite a while (and hopefully almost all the time in ketosis). I am (and was before starting lchf) on high dose vitamins.
So neither the oil intake nor the antioxidative properties of c60oo should have made any difference to me.
And yes, I took spoons full of olive oil before starting C60oo (just because I was curios how it tasted pure).
One example: I take at least 10g Vitamin C a day. So even if C60 is supposed to be 170x more powerful than vitamin C - it should not have made any difference in my case (1 dropper full C60oo are 1,5-3 g C60, which equals to 250-500 mg Vitamin C looking at the antioxidant properties).
So I should not have felt a difference - but I did. One example: mosquito bites itch when I do not do anything about them. If I take my vitamin C the itching stops for 4-6 hours and then starts again. When I have a couple bites, I wake up in the night because I feel the itch and I have to take another dose of vitamin C to be able to go to sleep again (the Vitamin C gets my histamine reaction down again).
I usually can see/feel them for a couple of days.
After starting C60oo mosqito bites did not itch anymore and the bite usually was gone in no time/mostly a couple of hours. I even watched one being made - swelling for 5 minutes and then go away again. cool :-)
Greetings :-)
Hey Dude,
Welcome to the discussion, I read through your intro and can honestly say I am impressed with your tolerance of 10g of Vitamin C. My max on this has never exceeded 6...without the Afraid to Fart feeling...
:\
I didn't actually say that sipping a little oil periodically could lead to ketosis, but if you are in a state of ketosis, a shot of any oil (Fat source) can act as an energy source; much the reason behind the fanfare of Bullet Proof Coffees. And Sensei is a little exceptional in that he does this a little more regularly than we'd see in any other individual testing C60oo.
My particular issue with any Extraordinary Claims, are much the same as Carl Sagan, in that I believe they require Extraordinary Evidence.
I don't think I've actually seen anything, so far, that could not be linked to some of the up to 110 other supplements that some are claiming to take with their C60 and down to just the Olive Oil that acts as the vessel for it.
The Mosquito bite thing, is actually kind of kewl, until you do a little reading up on the fact that this too may actually be a benefit of Olive Oil.

Given the passion and rigorous lengths that Sensei goes through to endorse something with, seemingly, no benefit that can't be attributed to simply consuming Olive Oil or his other daily stack, actually makes me question his motives. Like, has this dude set up a "Lab" [wink wink] in his garage, much like his C60 supplier (Sesres) started out with? Or, has he sold so many of his friends, family and neighbors on this shit that if they all found out it was a Nothingburger, he'd have to leave the continent? Or, is has he just been dupped to the length that all he can do, after 5 years of sipping his snake oil, is to continuously tantrum post like a 6-year-old who was denied a second cookie after dinner - to defend his worthless existence on the internet?
Dunno man...
As each day passes, I am less and less sold on this...still, however, holding onto a status of optimistically skeptical.
All the same, nice to see another member reply to the thread bringing something new!
