I'm having a hard time nailing this person down. I have no specialized knowledge of medicine nor even biology, but was asked to research his legitimacy by a friend. First off, I was very surprised to find this stub for a regular dr. Next, I can't get a link to boston college to work for him. Also, I can't find papers, but only 'talks' and 'presentations'. Finally, I'm finding controversial complaints about his work re cancer and keto. wikipedia lends legitimacy and I don't think this article supports that - so far, at least. Others better educated in the subject matter will know better than me, for sure, but I'd like such a one to please look at this article, because, to me, I don't think it should be here. But, again, I'm just a h/w tech and not anything to do with biology. Gemlog (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, here are papers

and here is some criticism:

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/ketogenic-diets-for-cancer-hype-versus-science/

Honestly, I don't know how legit SBM.org is either.

But I don't think a casual reader of wikipedia should have to go through this to believe an article.

Or not...

Thanks for all you guys do. And, yes, I do donate. Gemlog (talk) 00:04, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
