Review of The Ketogenic Diet: A Treatment for Epilepsy, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

I reluctantly bought this book to join the sea of books I already had regarding seizures and other diagnoses....my son was born disabled and developed seizures shortly after birth.

It turned out that this book CHANGED OUR LIVES!!!!I have not looked back since buying it!My son was diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Seizure Disorder.Doctors reacted like the mere diagnosis was the kiss of death.I am here to tell you that if the Ketogenic Diet can work for my son, who had over 100 seizures a day and constant seizure activity during sleep, it has the potential to work for anyone!Just remember that since it is not a drug, doctors do not promote it (pharmaceutical companies pay for their vacations, remember!)......My son was formerly on 6 meds with no end to seizures in sight.He is now on the diet and has only one med left to be weaned from.The diet had immediate and amazing results!
