> if you ever read the cases of people being harmed by their doctors advice and getting healed by going opposite to their doctors advice you would never have said such a thing.

There are countless cases of shoddy care from doctors. The existence of crappy doctors does not mean keto is effective.

> Modern medicine is NOT patient focused: it's pharma focused.

Again, the existence of bad incentives in medicine/corruption is not evidence of keto working.

> And who do you think sponsors most of those "medicine journal" studies?

There are serious, good-faith criticisms of modern medicine to be made. Blindly saying it's all nonsense, and instead you should do a juice cleanse with keto instead of chemo, is not a serious good-faith criticism.

> if thousands of people healed their diseases which the "modern medicine" completely fails to heal using the keto diet

This has not happened. Keto has not healed thousands of peoples' cancer. There is no evidence (and I mean real evidence, not a youtube video or podcast recounting an anecdote) of keto being effective at curing cancer.

Not yet! Keto is correlated with slowed growth of tumors.

A high carb, low fat diet may very well be what's fueling cancer.

some cancer. We already know different cancers use different 'fuel'. A keto diet would likely speed growth of cancers that can use or prefer ketones for instance. But for ones that only absorb glucose, the rats in the article indicate a maybe.
