While studying the effectiveness of the dietary treatment of patients with epilepsy, Dr. Pavel Klein observed that the diabetic patients in the study lost weight and showed signs of their diabetes entering remission. He learned that these observations were supported by a number of research studies showing the effectiveness of this dietary treatment in controlling and reversing type 2 diabetes. Building on this, from 2012 through 2015, Dr. Klein and his medical researchers conducted clinical studies on how his diet specifically affects patients with type 2 diabetes, and also worked to fine tune the nutrient balance and food recipes to create the most effective program at reversing diabetes available.
Dr. Pavel Klein is a neurologist with and clinical researcher with both a BA and MA from Oxford University and a MD from Cambridge University. Dr. Klein has taught at Harvard University and Georgetown University. He is now the founder and Director of the Mid-Atlantic Epilepsy and Sleep Center in Bethesda, MD.
Dr. Klein has published over 30 articles in peer-reviewed journals, has written numerous book chapters, presented scientific work at numerous national and international meetings, lectured nationally and internationally, and received grants from the NIH, from non-profit organizations and from the pharmaceutical industry for clinical scientific projects.
You can catch him at LowCarbUSA® – San Diego 2018 in July where he will discuss the Ketogenic Diet and the treatment of Epilepsy.
