Regarding relevance to other cancers, you didn't hear it from me:
"The restricted ketogenic diet seems to be more effective against brain cancer than against other cancers. You are correct in thinking that other cancers besides brain cancer should respond. This is in fact the case, but brain cancers seem to respond better than other cancers.
There is one person that I know, with metastatic melanoma, who has responded well to the restricted ketogenic diet. However, this person also fasted (water only) for at least one week. Fasting, can kill many tumor cells and also reduces tumor-associated inflammation.
We are working on modifications of the restricted ketogenic diet for systemic metastatic cancers, but our studies are still in progress. Many metastatic cancers are a disease of macrophages, the most powerful cell in the body. These cells tough to kill, but we are making progress. Our goal is to kill the metastatic tumor cells without killing normal cells or making patients sick."
