I am only replying to your incendiary comment to say that your characterization is insulting and wrong, "fucking keto diet"(s) are having results for many people, whether you like it or not Others, please research this person further, he's not a "loon" / "crackpot" just a regular smart young person who also happens to be a cancer researcher. BTW, keto also cures epilepsy, and that's known since the early 20th century, is that also triggering to you?

Had to login just to counter the epilepsy part of this comment, though I think it applies to the rest of the topic wrt cancer as well. Keto diets can, in some cases, help epilepsy patients, particularly those with certain seizure types or genetic basis. But, like with cancer, epilepsy is complicated both in presentation and cause and to pretend that keto is any way a cure for epilepsy outside of a small minority of patients isn't true. See https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/treating-seizures-and-epilepsy/dietary-therapies/ketogenic-diet https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/treating-seizures-and-epileps... for high level overview.

  It sometimes is enough, sometimes not. But it does have SOME undisputed efficacy and it's an area of legitimate research.

    Lol "sometimes is enough, sometimes not" is a bit of a backpedal from definitively putting cancer into remission. If it's an area of legitimate research for cancer treatment, then why do you lead with a reference to an individual crackpot - instead of even a poorly designed peer-reviewed study in a low impact forum. Of the millions of possibilities, why do you assume that it was the keto diet of this individual that lead to their remission? Do you lack the imagination that it would likely be something else?

      I was referring to epilepsy. I will not get into further arguments with you re: the "crackpot", insult. Have a nice day.
