68. There is no such thing as alternative medicine.

There is only medicine, based on science.

And BTW, science eschews anecdotal evidence. It is unreliable and useless within science. In a scientific study one strives to control parameters so that biases do not creep into the conclusions.

I highly suspect that ketogenic diet cancer claims are utter rubbish. This is especially true since one of the foremost promoters of it has associated with notable quack Joseph Mercola.

Still, David Gorski, a real oncologist, says that there are stage I/II clinical trials ongoing, and at least the diet seems to do little harm, for those who can tolerate the diet. Apparently some in the very small preliminary studies dropped out because they could not. That is not promising as these things go.

Smells like woo woo to me. But we'll soon see.

Note: It would be unethical to propose a study where patients forgo conventional treatment (chemotherapy and/or radiation) for this diet alone. One could not get permission to do such a study. Why? Because all the basic science says that diet alone cannot cure cancer. That plus the basic science claims by the proponents of ketogenic diet for cancer treatment have been falsified.

See my post below from David Gorski, who has delved deeply into these issues.
