This one might be controversial. I’ve had three patients on the ketogenic diet. One of them was a woman with advanced stage ovarian cancer, one was a man with stage III brain cancer, and the third was a man with stage IV brain cancer. All three of them were on the standard of care, with the exception that they all had the same type of cancer. The ketogenic diet was recommended for them by their oncologist based on their previous experience with it.
While the ketogenic diet was supposed to work very well for these three patients, the first one I had, the woman with stage 3 cancer, was having a hard time with it. She had been getting enough energy to function, but she had lost all of her hair, skin, and muscle tone.
All the cancer patients on ketogenic diets had the same side effects. Their skin was so thin, they had trouble shaving, and their hair died. Hair is important as it affects the rate at which hair follicles grow, which in turn affects the growth rate of the hair. So getting rid of these side effects is critical to cancer patients. It’s easy to see how this could have influenced their treatment.
I can’t find any scientific studies of ketogenic diets, but I can find a few studies of a few other cancer treatments. When we first heard of ketogenic diet, doctors were concerned that it would cause liver toxicity (which is, in turn, a side effect of liver cancer treatment). Then we heard that cancer is a common cancer, and that the ketogenic diet was actually doing more good than harm as it helped with the cancer and its side effects.
Ketogenic diets don’t necessarily cause liver toxicity. They do, however, provide a higher level of muscle fat and can be helpful when patients are unable to exercise because of the cancer. Also, when cancer patients are on the ketogenic diet, they’re able to eat more fruits and vegetables, which may reduce the risk of cancer recurrence as well.
I don’t know if I’d go so far as to call it a “game changer” in this case. There are some potential risks with the diet when it comes to cancer patients (more so than with the ketogenic diet). The ketogenic diet is not without it’s side effects, so a lot of people who are taking the diet would be better off taking a lower dose of chemotherapy. Just because something seems positive doesn’t mean it is actually the case.
The ketogenic diet is a well-studied cancer treatment and has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer in most of the studies. But before any diet can be touted as a cancer treatment, the risks have to be weighed up. If you are a cancer patient, your doctor will need to decide for you what the most optimal diet is for you.
The ketogenic diet is based on a low carbohydrate diet, which means you have to stick to a strict diet. For a man on the keto diet, the carb intake has to be low to the point where it affects your liver. This is one of the most important things to remember about the keto diet, especially if you have liver disease or are on a high-carb diet.
You can also try to increase your protein intake to get more calories from proteins, but you can’t do that if your liver is damaged. The ketogenic diet is the best treatment for cancer patients with liver disease, while the low-carb diet can help many cancer patients with other conditions, such as diabetes.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that promotes a high level of fat in the blood. In theory, it can treat most cancer patients, but in practice it can cause liver damage and even death. The keto diet has been shown to help patients with several types of cancer, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma.
