KETOGENIC DIET AS A TREATMENT FOR NEUROPATHY

posted: Feb. 14, 2022.

According to Conway McLean, DPM, "An estimated 30 million Americans suffer from some form of neuropathy. Unfortunately, a clear majority are never informed of the presence of this condition, unaware they cannot trust how their feet feel. Because they are not experiencing pain does not mean there isn’t a problem. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most prevalent complications of diabetes."

"The B vitamins are well known to be important to nerve function, and indeed, many people have obtained relief with precision nutrition. This is the practice of treating some malady by ingesting foods and supplements known to improve the functioning of that system. Recent research efforts have been directed at how a ketogenic diet might aid those suffering from neuropathy. Considering how few options for relief of neuropathic pain are available, the ketogenic diet would seem to be an exciting means of intervening in this debilitating condition," says Dr. McLean.
