This diet saved my kid's life and mind. We started 12/26/85 and were on it for 2 years 4 months. To see her start learning again was a joy you cannot imagine.

She did pitch 3 grand mal seizures in 2002 but that and the medication is/was trivial compared to what she was facing as an infant.

I have a goddaughter now 14 years old who started with grand mal seizures at age 3. It’s heartbreaking to see how hard her parents looked for any solution, anything at all to help stabilize her. They became expert on foods that could possibly trigger her seizures.

She would go a few weeks without incident and her parents would express relief that maybe they found something in her diet to avoid or include. But the seizures always came back and sometimes more violently.

It’s a sad and frustrating situation to say the least.

My question is should I forward this article to the parents or is it likely they already know of this. And if this diet is known and has been around for awhile, what is unique about this article? It says only that the new study is the largest to date.
