Apparently, some of you consider yourself experts on cancer treatment but don't have any idea about up-and-coming data on the use of a #ketoenic diet as an adjunct for #cancer treatments. (1/9)
This thread holds some links to researchers talking about using ketogenic diets as an adjunct treatment for some cancers. People way smarter than me about the subject, and quite frankly probably better educated than you on the topic. 🤷 (2/9)

A pilot study evaluated the safety and permissibility of a ketogenic diet (Modified-Atkins form) in 20 patients with relapsing #MS. They presented a decrease in levels of proinflammatory adipokines at three months on #KetogenicDiet (2/5)

@Metabolic_Mind It's ok to have hope that you can feel better. When you are suffering from any of these disorders, hope is a little scary. You don't want to be disappointed. Sometimes it's easier to practice acceptance of how you are feeling. (3/12) #hope#spoons#chronicillness
