My article she referred to specifically warns AGAINST the ketagenic diet for epilepsy. Despite reports of success and a long history of use - and Meryl Streep's movie to the contrary - there are also reports of problems (including deaths) and several of it's features run counter to what others recommend for a diet that helps with epilepsy. Even the proponents of the diet admit that it is not user friendly, is not suitable for all children and that children who are on the diet should be monitored very carefully by professionals who are aware of its risks and complications.
