Diet treatment call for epilepsy
Quote:
A special high-fat diet helps to control fits in children with epilepsy, a UK trial suggests.

The number of seizures fell by a third in children on the "ketogenic" diet, where previously they had suffered fits every day despite medication.

The diet alters the body's metabolism by mimicking the effects of starvation, the researchers reported in the Lancet Neurology.

This is good news, anything that can control epilepsy can only be good
