Yes, you can do both. Very carefully.

Personal note: when a family member was recently diagnosed with cancer, the ketogenic diet was the one promising idea I found to supplement her standard treatment. It's... depressing... how my suggestion just to talk to her doctor about it probably wasn't followed even that far. Can anyone suggest a source to point to for non-nerds, such as a talk by a prestigious doctor? Considering the fate of my suggestion above, a paper or a book are not going to fly.

  There's a documentary called "The Science of Fasting" that I found very interesting. Apparently, they've been studying it for health benefits going back decades in the former USSR. https://www.amazon.com/Science-Fasting-Sylvie-Gilman/dp/B075824XCB https://www.amazon.com/Science-Fasting-Sylvie-Gilman/dp/B075...

Could you elaborate? Without delving too deeply, that article seems to suggest the opposite: > The KD can more effectively reduce glucose and elevate blood ketone bodies than can CR alone making the KD potentially more therapeutic against tumors than CR
