There are studies that have proven that the Keto diet can help strengthen the immune system. From this perspective, this dietary model can be useful as a measure to treat HPV.
We cannot claim that the Keto diet can cure the Human Papillomavirus. Being a virus, it is the body that combats it. However, there have been cases where treatments that take diet into account provide good results.
And these results are related to decreasing or treating some HPV symptoms, such as helping to quickly overcome lesions or warts, or even reducing complications from this disease.

What is the Keto diet?
The Keto or ketogenic diet involves planning a dietary style where a greater amount of fats are consumed and carbohydrate content is reduced.
Some people maintain this type of diet to reduce their body weight and achieve an ideal body mass index. But this diet also offers benefits such as reducing levels of bad cholesterol in the body.
And recently, research has reinforced the theory that it helps improve the immune system. It has also gained significance for its ability to combat oxidative stress, thus providing significant cellular protection.
Is the Keto diet useful against HPV?
It is a dietary method that is offering good results against viral infections. And indeed, HPV is part of this category of diseases, so it is likely to offer some advantages.
However, there isn’t much scientific evidence to validate that the Keto diet can indeed reduce the viral load of someone with the Human Papillomavirus, so it acts as an alternative or complementary measure.
We also shouldn’t underestimate the capacity of the ketogenic diet, as there are studies that are evaluating its effect against cancer or in its prevention. Considering that HPV can lead to cancer, it’s an ideal alternative.
The ketogenic diet has negative factors
The Keto diet is not ideal for everyone; for some, it can be a risky dietary plan. And for people with HPV where there’s a possibility of having a poor immune response, these decisions shouldn’t be taken lightly.
The best thing you can do is visit your specialist and consult with them whether or not you should try the ketogenic diet. If it doesn’t pose a risk for you, the doctor will surely allow it.
But if it isn’t a safe option for you, it’s essential to know that. In that case, there are still various foods you can consume to boost your immune capabilities.
For example, foods like blueberries, which are rich in antioxidants. In general, berries are ideal because they have a high content of beta-carotene, provide vitamins, and effectively help improve immune defenses.
These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.
What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.
For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.
I wish you great success in your recovery!
