Diet — The
ketogenic diet is a specialized diet that may be appropriate for certain children who do not respond well to standard medication
therapies or have problems
with medications.
Registrations are welcome from allied medical health care professionals currently working
with or looking to expand their knowledge of
Ketogenic Dietary
Therapies.
A 2015 article in the International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology sums up the findings of multiple studies on
ketogenic diets and cancer
with the following: «there is increasing evidence that the
ketogenic diet may also be beneficial as an adjuvant cancer
therapy by potentiating the antitumor effect of chemotherapy and radiation treatment.»
Children
with drug resistant epilepsy are at risk of insufficient vitamin D status prior to starting
ketogenic therapy (3) and although levels can be normalised
with vitamin D supplementation, a decline in both whole body and spine bone mineral content while on the
ketogenic diet has been reported (4) despite reduction in anticonvulsant medication.
Ketogenic dietary
therapies are designed to cause a metabolic shift within the body,
with fat becoming the primary fuel rather than carbohydrate and ketone bodies replacing glucose as an energy source for the brain.
Gastro - intestinal problems are common side effects of
ketogenic therapy however can usually be alleviated
with dietary manipulation.
A fall in carnitine status of children and young adults during the first few months of the
ketogenic diet has been seen
with some cases requiring supplementation (9), although levels tended to normalise
with time on diet
therapy.
In view of these recommendations, we would propose that all children
with LGS who have failed appropriate AED
therapy are funded for an initial assessment of suitability for
ketogenic dietary
therapy.
We therefore propose that infants diagnosed
with infantile spasms who have failed appropriate first - line
therapy are funded for an initial assessment of suitability for
ketogenic dietary
therapy.
International consensus recommendations suggest that
ketogenic dietary
therapy should be strongly considered in a child
with epilepsy who has failed two or three AEDs, and may be particularly beneficial in certain epilepsy syndromes such as infantile spasms (14).
Constipation is the most common reported complication of
ketogenic therapy; despite dietary changes to help lessen the problem many individuals do need additional treatment
with medication.
Although it is often suggested that children
with epilepsy who are benefiting from
ketogenic dietary
therapy continue this for at least two years, duration of treatment could be shorter in patients
with infantile spasms who become seizure - free; one study reported no adverse effect on seizure outcomes and less risk of growth disturbances when treatment was tapered down after 8 months (15).
A classical
ketogenic diet —
with a staggering 70 - 90 percent of total calories coming from fat — might not be necessary.51 Classical
ketogenic diets restrict protein as well as carbohydrate, since 48 - 58 percent of the amino acids in dietary proteins can be glucogenic, thereby undermining the purpose of a diet intended to generate a high amount of ketones and limit glucose as much as possible.46 As
therapy for AD, however, simply lowering carbohydrate intake to a point where some ketones are generated and hyperinsulinemia is corrected could have positive effects just by easing the metabolic burden on the brain.
Moreover, a ketone - producing, lower - carbohydrate diet would still allow for consumption of a wide array of low glycemic load vegetables and fruits, which are typically richer in micronutrients, antioxidants, and phytochemicals than their high glycemic load refined grain and sugar counterparts.54 This would make this primary avenue for
therapy more practical, since the difficulty
with sticking to classical
ketogenic diets is typically that they're unpalatable and too restrictive.
I supported eating ~ 30 % of calories as carbs,
with lower - carb
ketogenic dieting as a
therapy for certain conditions.
Based on these results and clinical experience
with diet - based
therapies for pediatric epilepsy, a novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic application of
ketogenic diet
therapy would be effective, non-addictive and relatively free of major side effects.

with a plant - based
ketogenic diet, hyperbaric oxygen
therapy, and daily detoxification practices will go a long way in boosting your cancer fighting potential,
There is another study in mice that tested the
ketogenic diet
with or without hyperbaric oxygen
therapy and compared to the standard diet, the
ketogenic diet increased mean survival time by 56 percent and that number increased to 78 percent when it was combined
with hyperbaric oxygen.
It will have more benefits if you use it in conjunction
with a
ketogenic diet and potentially even hyperbaric oxygen
therapy to help reverse what damage has been done.
Use of the
ketogenic diet has spread internationally in recent years, and therefore it has become a
therapy increasingly accessible to many different cultural traditions.58 Across all cultures, patients
with chronic pain have among the lowest reported quality - of - life scores of any medical condition, and it has a striking negative impact on economies.
In this 2017 study of epileptic children, 20 out of 120 subjects (over 16 %) developed hypothyroidism within 6 months of starting a
ketogenic diet
therapy and were treated
with synthetic T4 thyroid hormone (7).
We know that those
with metabolic states resulting from a high - carbohydrate diet — including high blood sugar levels, high insulin levels, and obesity — have higher rates of cancer and do more poorly during cancer treatment.13 — 16 We also know that multiple pathways that are downregulated by a
ketogenic diet also render cells more susceptible to being killed by chemotherapy and radiation
therapy.17
But other studies in mice have shown that a
ketogenic diet, when implemented in conjunction
with radiation
therapy for the treatment of brain tumors in mice, resulted in the eradication of these tumors in the majority of the mice.12
The past century has unveiled a plethora of preclinical data that has suggested the potential of a
ketogenic diet as an aid in cancer treatment.7, 8 The benefits of a
ketogenic diet, and dietary manipulation in general, may be a potent adjunct to current cancer treatments by synergistically working
with chemotherapy and radiation
therapy to starve cancer cells, leaving them more susceptible to damage from these treatments.7 - 10
