There is an ongoing debate on whether ketogenic diet could actually be used as a therapeutic approach for cancers, although some responses have been positive. Attached are some review papers which revolved around the current use of ketogenic diet to combat cancer. Although ketogenic diets are often seen positively, a lot of these studies are conducted with very minimal patient numbers and thus, some of these effects may not be replicated in larger studies. There is also a problem whereby patients in most studies found it very hard to adhere by the ketogenic diet regimen.

A trial conducted in 2011 also showed the potential utility of ketogenic diet to ameliorate advanced cancers in human subjects (n = 16), although a lot of confounding factors need to be noted when looking at the results.

Another study in 2014 also considered ketogenic diet as a therapy option for patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with no side effects but also minimum benefits in the patients who underwent the ketogenic diet regimen.

Dear Dr. Abdallah Hussien Fathy, the answer is unclear and currently several studies underway at the National Institutes of Health.

I have got some information saying that a ketogenic diet has a sort of domino effect on cancer. Ketone bodies act as a backup system when blood glucose levels fall, either as a result of starvation or carbohydrate restriction. Without this adaptation, the human race from Paleolithic man to the modern castaway might have perished during times when food was in short supply. Put another way, a ketogenic diet has a sort of domino effect on cancer. It lowers high blood sugar which reduces insulin levels in the blood.

Adhering to a ketogenic diet and staying in a state of nutritional ketosis has the effect of changing the body’s metabolic environment into one that is incompatible with cancer cell metabolism. Cancer cells thrive on high levels of glucose and depend on high insulin levels to obtain that glucose. High insulin levels also set the stage for increased production of other hormones which enhance the metabolic conditions for cancer advancement. A ketogenic diet emphasizes the consumption of fats because these foods have almost no effect on blood glucose and insulin levels. In contrast, sugars and starches (foods high in carbohydrate) elevate blood glucose and insulin significantly. Excess protein will elevate blood glucose as well. Lowering carbohydrate and protein intake while increasing fat consumption effectively bottlenecks the sugary fuel that drives cancer growth. In response to the bottleneck, the liver creates ketone bodies from stored and dietary fat to supply energy the body needs. Once glucose supply is limited and ketones are elevated, food supplies for cancer cells get scarce. In addition, lower levels of insulin inhibit hormones such as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and other metabolic pathways which promote cancer progression. And that’s not all. Because cancer cells have defective mitochondria, low glucose supplies leave them with no way to repair the oxidative stress which constantly bombards all cells. Hence they are more likely to sustain fatal injuries from interactions with oxidizing free radicals. Radiation therapy works by increasing free radical activity around cancer tissue and studies have shown that being in nutritional ketosis seems to enhance this destructive free radical effect. Meanwhile, normal cells thrive in this new metabolic environment since they can metabolize ketone bodies quite well. In fact, switching to ketones for energy needs results in a lower rate of oxidative damage in normal cells. So not only are cancer cells endangered, normal cells sustain lessfree radical damage and get a boost toward good health when a ketogenic diet is adopted. This ability of normal cells to switch fuel states from glucose to ketones (i.e., nutritional ketosis) is a crucial adaptation which has most likely permitted our continued survival on planet Earth. Ketone bodies act as a backup systemwhen blood glucose levels fall, either as a result of starvation or carbohydrate restriction. Without this adaptation, the human race from Paleolithic man to the modern castaway might have perished during times when food was in short supply.

Put another way, a ketogenic diet has a sort of domino effect on cancer. It lowers high blood sugar which reduces insulin levels in the blood. Reducing insulin levels effectively inhibits the production of IGF-1. In turn, low insulin and low IGF-1 levels inhibit other hormonal drivers of cancer like TAF (tumor angiogenesis factor), a substance that cancer cells secrete in order to build a blood supply network for themselves. And to top it all off, low glucose supplies leave cancer cells without a way to repair free radical damage, and this compromises their ability to survive. There are currently several studies underway at the National Institutes of Health which are looking at the use of a ketogenic diet as an adjunct cancer therapy.   A pilot study by Eugene Fine, MD at Albert Einstein Medical School was completed in 2012, and Dr. Thomas Seyfried at Boston College has done some elegant and compelling work on the metabolic theory of cancer.  See his book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease".  In addition, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino at the University of South Florida is doing research in this area and has shown some impressive results.  See the papers and books listed below:

As the incidence and diversity of cancer increases, the number of prescriptions and methods has increased, but the importance remains to be directed towards each patient.

Psychotherapy will maximize its effectiveness by targeting the most powerful sources of change: the therapeutic relationship and the patient him/herself. This workshop will provide integrative methods for adapting or tailoring therapy to individual clients and their singular contexts. Learn how to reliably assess and rapidly apply four evidence-based means for demonstrably improving treatment success. Discover how research and practice converge in relational responsiveness that fits both clients and clinicians.

Part of the Clinician's Corner category on our BizVision partner site. Learning Objectives

• Determine a client's treatment and relationship preferences in ways that improve outcomes.

• Assess reliably a client's stage of change within one minute and tailor therapy to that stage.

• Individualize psychotherapy to each patient's reactance level and coping style. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/mar/07/hundreds-of-lung-cancer-patients-may-be-dying-early-each-year https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/06/16/ketogenic-diet-benefits.aspx

Very rich and educative information and resources. I like the interesting revelations on how ketogenic diets could improve the condition of cancer patients to some extent. I think extensive research in this field is very important as the number of cancer patients keep soaring up. Best regards

he Eskimos and Maasai group are cultures we often look at to learn how their scant consumption of carbohydrates sustained their bodies through harsh weather conditions. It turns out that their low carb diet switched their metabolism to burn fat instead of sugar or glucose.

This created a metabolic state known as ketosis, a process in which the body burns ketones to make energy, instead of relying on sugar or carbohydrate.

Ketones are metabolized by fatty acids in the liver for energy. (This source of fuel is capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and is an excellent form of energy for neurons.) When the body lacks glucose, which is its first source of fuel, ketones are created in its absence.

Ketosis was a beneficial process the human body developed as an adaptation to times when food was unavailable (such as for these hunter-gatherers). However, you can effectively produce ketones too by limiting the carbohydrates in your diet to less than 80 grams daily and protein to no more than 1.2 grams of protein/per kg lean body mass. As the body adapts to the use of ketone metabolism over time, the hormone in the liver that is essential to ketone metabolism (known as FGF21) becomes more efficient.

Thank you

Keto. Diet is good for human health it is also work for fat loss and increase rate of metabolism. Several study is going on keta diet for cancer treatment..

Please check it out hope so it's help you

Yes , I know problem is with how people remember old "keto" diet eg Atkins diet rich in saturated fat and cholesterol. In Poland in the opinion of polish cadriologist keto diet id the way only to cementery.

Yes keta diet helpful for cancer patients I'm working on keto diet for cancer patients soon I'll attach file of my publication in this paper you may get all data, scientific prove of patient improvement after taking keto or before keto.
