Ketogenic Diets against Epilepsy

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

“Demonstrated” is absolutely a word used in science, and it’s not synonymous with “absolute certainty.” Anyway, why did you ask the question if you don’t like the answer?

I am sorry, what does demonstrate mean? In Croatian, demonstrirati is usually used in reference to mathematical proofs, proofs of the theorems from axioms. And you sound a bit uninformed if you use it in some other science.

The chief difference is that bloodletting doesn’t work, ketosis does.

But it isn’t as if physicians are recommending ketogenic diets to all of their epileptic patients. A solid majority respond well to meds, about 30% do not. For these people, the diet is shown to work for the majority of them and to work very well.

I'd argue ketosis and bloodletting are remarkably similar. Both of them appear to sometimes alleviate the symptoms, yet there is no scientific explanation for how they could possibly work. And both of them have side-effects effects even more obvious than the effects.

There are actually several potential explanations as to how the diet works. And it seems unarguable that it DOES work. Does it cure epilepsy? No. Does it reduce the frequency and severity of seizures? Absolutely.

You really believe that moderate weight loss and lethargy are ‘even more obvious’ than a grand mal seizure? 

Anyroad, have a butcher's at this:
