Although some my not 'personally' agree with these diets their success rates and the releif offered to thousands of lives ,childrens lives, should surpass any personal biases towards them. In spite of the fact that many people misunderstood the Atkins diet and despite the whitewash of misinformation put forth by the establishment sufferers of epilepsy have found relief from their debilitating disease.
Those looking for insight or direction should ignore personal and politicially correct judgements.
I myself am not a huge fan of these diets but I dont have epilepsy or some other disease that may benefit from them and would be the last person to belittle them and diminish thier value to someone in need .
The simple fact that the ketogenic diet has proven to stop or diminish epileptic siezures warrants some credit, there are few other protocols that can make that claim.
