> You can also do diet stuff. I don't know your health condition, but this is not "diet stuff". It's pretty specific. Look "ketogenic diet for epilepsy". If you break it, you have symptoms very quickly. It IS a medicine. The grams of protein/fat/carbs were pretty extreme, it's not just "low carb" or "just keto" or "diet" or "eat healthy". The difference is that the diet works on some occasions where nothing works, or on some occasions it works very good. Things like DT2 (virtahealth.com), maybe soon for kidney disease (ex from today Feasibility and impact of ketogenic dietary interventions in polycystic kidney disease: KETO-ADPKD—a randomized controlled trial), many mental disorders (metabolicmind.org, virtahealth will try for depression too), etc.
