Back when the prognosis was six months, I knew a man -- and a family -- who was determined to beat glioblastoma. Against all the realists like you, that determined glioblastoma-sufferer lived for almost 4 years with the disease -- long enough to see his children into adulthood. HOPE is what made him willing to try any experimental cure that his doctors suggested to him. Hope helped keep him alive far beyond the point science said he was supposed to. The realists said 6 months. He lived almost 4 years.
And you are wrong to say there is "zero evidence" about the keto diet. That study itself provides SOME evidence, obviously. You personally wouldn't be swayed by it. Fine. Hopefully you never get glioblastoma, or you might be surprised what you are willing to try.
