                                The ketogenic diet was originally developed in the 1920s as a treatment for pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy, providing a compelling historical context for its therapeutic applications. While initially a medical intervention, it has since become a popular dietary approach for weight loss and various purported health benefits, raising the question of whether it can truly 'heal' the body.
