A well-balanced keto diet has first emerged as a tool for clinicians in order to treat patients with epilepsy. It was remaining the only thing with the consistent ability to prevent seizures. The process of ketosis also improves epilepsy through several mechanisms. It also helps in: Increases t...
It's always been the old wives' remedy for Epilepsy, that eating a high fat diet, low in carbs would help people reduce or prevent seizures. Now, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School have uncovered the science behind the so called miracle cure for Epilepsy....
The ketogenic diet (KD) debuted in the 1920s as a metabolic treatment for epilepsy, based on the historical observation that fasting could prevent seizures. Similar to fasting, the high-fat, low-carbohydrate KD restricts glucose and favors oxidation of fatty acids, which in turn generates ketones...
Epilepsy: Theketogenic diet, a high fat, adequate-protein, very low carbohydrate diet, has, during the past decade, been used with great success for the treatment of difficult-to-control seizures in children with epilepsy. Fatty Liver Diseaseor “Hepatic Steatosis”:Hepatic Steatosis is the medic...
The ketogenic diet was originally developed at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1920s to stop seizures in children with epilepsy, when pharmaceutical drugs did not work. More recently, the ketogenic diet has been used successfully for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Recently, there...
Heart disease– The lower levels of insulin prevent the formation of bad cholesterol, which means we are less likely to have high blood pressure, hardened arteries, or any heart condition Epilepsy– Ketogenic diet helps in preventing seizures ...
The keto diet was first used in the 1920s not as a weight loss diet, but a natural treatment to prevent seizures in epilepsy patients (5). Let’s look closer at how the ketogenic diet can promote fat-burning and increases energy levels, plus other benefits. ...
Keto Diet for Epilepsy: What to Know More Using a keto diet for epilepsy is an ancient concept. The effects were noted in biblical times, when people with epilepsy would fast in order to find relief from chronic brain seizures. “You can look in old scriptures and see that when people wo...
Ketogenic diet (KD) alleviates refractory epilepsy and reduces seizures in children. However, the metabolic/cell biologic mechanisms by which the KD exerts its antiepileptic efficacy remain elusive. Herein, we report that KD-produced β-hydroxybutyric ac
sickly with gray skin, as if they just climbed out of a grave. Per the NIH, the gray skin effect is a buildup of silver and may cause kidney and liver problems. The Mayo Clinic states colloidal silver is not a safe substance to ingest, and may cause kidney damage and seizures (2)....
