Childhood epilepsy and diet

I've been sent some rave reports about the ketogenic diet. I know nothing about epilepsy, but if your child has it, this may be worth a look. Thank you very much to, among others, Gail Hall.

I have a son who has been on the ketogenic diet (2 yrs+) to treat his epilepsy. he tried 5 drugs..ALL made him worse. The diet has reduced his seizures by 80%. I would urge any parent of a child with difficult to treat seizures to look into this diet as a treatment option. It is so SO amazing.......
