Re: epilepsy

I agree with Tony diet can be a big factor. Many, particularly children benefit from whats called the "ketogenic Diet" a low carb high fat (oils) diet that works for these children when all else has failed.
The ketogenic diet followed in these clinics are very tightly controlled and food preperation is exact ,with all items being weighed to the ounce. This diet should be only done under guidance or supervision by someone trained in this protocol.
However I have read and know someone with epilepsy who claims the low carb Atkins type diet also help a lot ,she claims no siezures while on the diet, she also says the hardest part about the diet was staying on it because of being brought up on the standard american diet and her cravings for junk food.
I think diet is critical in all health issues. Good nutritional foods whether they be protien ,fats or complex carbohydrates (vegetables and fruits) with high nutritional value and completeley giving up junk food is essential to return to good health.
