In reply to the discussion: The problem with glioblastoma is that completely removing all the visible tumor --as the surgeon did [View all]Jannod
(18 posts)If I inferred that a patient should do the KD alone that wasn't the intent. Glioblastoma is pretty much a dead-end diagnosis. There are reputable doctors like the team at Hopkins who believe it holds a lot of promise. Since the conventional treatment doesn't offer much hope I would encourage anyone with brain cancer to read up on KD and make the decision for themselves. My friends is one of those in study who opted for only the diet. The tumor was gone in a few months. I suppose it could have been the prayer chain or visualization therapy, but my bet is that the lack of glucose starved the tumor. More studies will certainly follow so either the evidence will grow or it won't. In the meantime, we've got a few impressive anecdotes as long as the patients remain cancer free. And no harm was done.
