I can explain that a therapeutic ketogenic diet (TKD) can offer significant benefits for patients with epilepsy, particularly for those whose seizures are not well-controlled with medication. This high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in many patients, especially children.
The mechanism behind the therapeutic ketogenic diet lies in the production of ketones, which are alternative fuel sources for the brain. When carbohydrates are restricted, the body shifts from using glucose to using ketones for energy. Ketones have neuroprotective properties and can help stabilize electrical activity in the brain, which is essential in preventing seizures.
Several clinical studies have shown that the ketogenic diet can lead to a reduction in seizure frequency, and in some cases, even complete seizure control. This makes it a valuable option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, particularly those who do not respond to traditional medications.
