=Hypoxia, including Stroke=
There are a number of medical conditions that reduce the supply of oxygen (hypoxia), and the Ketogenic Diet may reduce the damage that occurs as a result. ''' '''
* '''Head trauma'''. Head trauma often results in a rapid increase in cerebral glucose metabolism, followed but by a prolonged decrease. Administering glucose to patients tends to result in hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) that worsens the outcome. In animal studies, fasting or a ketogenic diet improves tissue preservation, but further research is needed<ref name="Prins2007"/>.* '''Stroke'''. Because a stroke involves the reduction of blood flow to areas of the brain, the Ketogenic diet may help reduce the resulting damage<ref name="GibsonMurphy2012"/>. ([http:Animal studies have looked at the ketogenic diet, ketone administration, and calorie restriction, which all raise ketone levels, and all have shown to be beneficial in animal stroke models<ref name="GibsonMurphy2012"//www>.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23050642 http[[File://wwwStroke outcome in the ketogenic state.ncbipng|none|thumb|500px|The analysis of 19 animal (rodent) studies on the changes in outcome following cerebral ischemia with the ketogenic state.nlmPathological outcomes included lesion volume, brain water content, and neuronal counts, whereas functional outcomes included all measures of behavior.nih.gov/pubmed/23050642]) * '''Altitude Sickness'''. It is possible that the ketogenic diet may help with altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness), but more research is needed. (Personally, I've found I can tolerate lower oxygen levels during [[Altitude Training]] while on the ketogenic dietnot studies to support this.)
=Heart disease=
=Alzheimer's disease (AD)=
AD is a degenerative neurological condition characterized by memory loss and there is currently no treatment. Models of Alzheimer's disease (and Parkinson's) suggest that 4 mmol/L of BOHB can protect neurons and may play a therapeutic role<ref name="Kashiwaya-2000"/>.There is some evidence that a ketogenic diet may not only improve the symptoms of AD<ref name="KrikorianShidler2012"/>, but may also modify the disease activity itself. These benefits may also apply to other neurological conditions involving neuron death. There is evidence that raising Ketone levels through MCT supplementation without carbohydrate restriction may also improve memory function in AD sufferers<ref name="RegerHenderson2004"/>. In a study of 152 subjects with mild to moderate AD, half were given an [[MCT]] based treatment over a period of 90 days and had significantly improved cognitive scores compared with the placebo control group<ref name="HendersonVogel2009"/>. A drug called Axona was introduced in 2009 as an FDA approved "medical food" and it consists of an MCT oil (caprylic acid). There is also some evidence that a higher carbohydrate intake is associated with poorer memory, and increased aberrant motor behavior in subjects with probable AD<ref name="Young-2005"/>.
Parkinson's disease appears to generally result from an acquired defect in the mitochondria rather than genetic causes<ref name="Veech-2000"/>. Animal studies and anecdotal reports suggest that the ketogenic diet may reverse the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but there are no published human studies. It is possible to treat Parkinson's disease for a time with dopamine , but free radical damage lessens the effectiveness of this therapy over time<ref name="Vanitallie-2005"/>. Models of Parkinson's disease (and Alzheimer's) suggest that 4 mmol/L of BOHB can protect neurons and may play a therapeutic role<ref name="Kashiwaya-2000"/>. A 28 day study of five Parkinson's patients on the Ketogenic Diet with blood BOHB levels averaging 6.6 mmol/L (range 4.8 to 8.9) had an average decrease in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores of 43.4% (range 21% to 81%), but the study had too few subjects and no controls, so conclusions could be drawn about effectiveness<ref name="Vanitallie-2005"/>.
=Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)=
Like Parkinson's disease, there the evidence to support the use of the Ketogenic Diet for ALS is currently only animal and anecdotal reports of successextremely limited<ref name="Paganoni-2013"/>, but human studies are under way. One study showed that the Ketogenic Diet alters the progression of ALS in a mouse model, but it did not extend the survival time<ref name="Zhao-2006"/>. However, other studies of high fat (non-ketogenic) diets in animal models did show an improved survival time<ref name="Mattson-2007"/><ref name="DupuisOudart2004"/>.
=Type 1 diabetes=
At one time, type 1 diabetes (previously called childhood diabetes) was expected to be fatal within a year. The first approach was a starvation diet of 450 calories per day, which lead Fredrick M Allen to use a 70% fat, 8% carbohydrate diet that was the standard treatment before the discovery of insulin.
There are initial reports that the ketogenic diet improves hyperactivity in animal reports, and some anecdotal reports of the benefit in humans. As with Autism, there are also reports of epileptic children treated with the ketogenic diet also having improvements in their hyperactivity.
=Schizophrenia=
There is a case report of a radical improvement in schizophrenia with the ketogenic diet<ref name="KraftWestman2009"/>. However, this may be due to a removal of the gluten from the diet rather than the overall dietary changes<ref name="Hadjivassiliou-1996"/>.
=Depression and bipolar disorder=
There are a number of cases that have been reported where the ketogenic diet helps normalize the [[Mood State]] of those with bipolar disorder<ref name="El-MallakhPaskitti2001"/>. One report indicated that over 2-3 years the mood stabilization exceeded that achieved with medication<ref name="Phelps-2013"/>.
