The problem with glioblastoma is that completely removing all the visible tumor --as the surgeon did

64. Sorry, the science is not exactly there, and anecdotal evidence does not count in science.

So the "I know somebody who" blah, blah, blah does not count. That is not how science works.

There are some encouraging preliminary studies, but they tend to be mouse studies and small, little controlled, pilot studies. Science-based medicine requires much more than that.

Please read my response in this thread from oncologist, David Gorski, who goes through this in quite a bit of detail. Note that he does not entirely dismiss the ketogenic diet, but he does not support it because the science is just not there yet. Plus, there is a quack connection to it, always worrisome as these things go. It would be unethical to do a study where people forgo chemotherapy and radiation for ketogenic diet. That should be sufficient to convince anybody that this very well may be quackery. At least it apparently does little harm, if one can tolerate it. But by all means, do not forgo chemo or radiation for it.

As far as I am concerned, there is no there there. So far, that is what the science says as well.

I'll stand by that as long as that is what the science says.
