The ketogenic diet is approved for use by the n h s and the u. K. It's usually, these days, considered sort of a last resort for kids with drug resistant epilepsy. The biggest stumbling block was just being able to stick to a very restrictive and often very costly diet. Most people can't maintain this level of restriction over the long term so it'salmost like irrelevant whether it works or not.
