Well, this is distressing news. Another good keto/cancer resource, who like Dr. Fettke, I use for cancer/diet information, but now this negative article will top any search on her name. I follow Dr. Champ’s cautions about not claiming miracles about the keto diet http://www.myhealthwire.com/news/breakthroughs/856 and always thought her writing has had sufficient warnings. However, there is a thin line between Carbohydrate Restriction diets and equating it with non-scientific diets such as the Breuss cure.


Just this month Dr. Champ and others published a response to a very critical review of ketogenic diets. For Dietitians or Researchers, it will be a long road to acceptance as even an adjuvant treatment:

"Need for new review of article on ketogenic dietary regimes for cancer patients"

Rainer J. Klement, Richard D. Feinman,
Elena C. Gross, Colin E. Champ,
Dominic P. D’Agostino, Eugene J. Fine,
Ulrike Kämmerer, et al. in Medical Oncology, May 2017

“ To the editor,
In a recent article entitled ‘‘Systematic review: isocaloric
ketogenic dietary regimes for cancer patients’’ [1],
Erickson et al. provide their summary of the use of ketogenic
diets for treating cancer patients. As active
researchers in this field, we find the Erickson paper to be
inaccurate in its characterization of ketogenic diets. The
writing is highly biased and contains a significant number
of errors, some of an elementary nature. The overall tenor
of the paper, rather than that of a balanced review, gives
the impression of established experts warning patients
about the risks of a new method. In fact, Dr. Erickson and
co-authors are not acknowledged experts and, as far as we
know, have no record of clinical or research experience in
this area. We detail below the paper’s faults and suggest
the positive side of the issue which we feel remains
ignored. We think that the pertinent subject matter was not
considered in the manuscript. In essence, failure to address
these questions means that the paper could not have
received adequate peer review. We suggest that some form
of re-review of the paper be instituted. As it stands,
Erickson et al. are likely to be misleading to patients and
practitioners alike. ...


Back to Patricia Daly’s book, there are other cancer diet books I was using before her Keto Kitchen was published in the US. Ellen Davis’s book, based on Dr. Seyfried’s work, is highly recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Cancer.../dp/1943721033/

Miriam Kalamian has an e-book as well as the Basics of a Keto Diet for Cancer on her website. http://www.dietarytherapies.com/faqs22.html This diet or list of keto foods is the same diet provided in print in the appendix of Travis Christoferson’s book, Tripping over the Truth. There are over 100 hospitals in the US offering a Keto Diet clinic (for epilepsy but extensions to other diseases are on the rise)

Dr. Champ gave a new lecture April 27, waiting for it to be published on TheIHMC YouTube channel:
"Cancer Prevention Through Diet - Tangible Takeaways” https://www.ihmc.us/lectures/20170427/

His previous lecture that is available was “Augmenting Cancer Therapy with Diet: Have We Found a Sweet Spot?” http://www.cavemandoctor.com/2014/1...e-florida-ihmc/

Edit: The more I read this though, the instructions are to change the wording on her website, as the charge was brought by an Advertising Review Board. There is nothing like Dr. Fettke's instructions to stop talking to patients about nutrition, or stop giving talks at Keto conferences, selling the e-book, or printing the book in the US.
