Researchers like Dr. Terry Wahls, MD (terrywahls.com), from the University of Iowa, who overcame her MS through a real foods–based, nutrient-dense ketogenic diet, are seeking funding to study this disease and what therapeutic effect a ketogenic approach could have.

Recent studies point to evidence that this demyelination might be due to degeneration or breakdown of the nerve cell’s ability to use glucose as a primary fuel.14, 15 It is now theorized that MS may be due to a combination of degeneration and localized inflammation related to poor glucose uptake, which causes demyelination of the nerve. Demyelination is the classic presentation seen in MS cases.16, 17, 18

With this dual concept in mind, ketogenic diets have demonstrated some promising results when used with neurological diseases. It is becoming apparent that ketogenic diets may play a significant role in the treatment of neurological diseases such as MS because of a two-part effect that occurs when ketones become the primary fuel for the body:

• When a person becomes keto-adapted (fat-adapted) and ketones (rather than glucose) are used as the primary fuel, the body upregulates mitochondria to use ketones for fuel. As the ketone level rises, the need for glucose diminishes. This gives the nerve cell an alternative fuel source if glucose metabolism is impaired. It also decreases the need for and production of insulin, the hormone heavily involved in stimulating inflammation and inflammatory responses.
