Epilepsy Successfully Treated Through High-fat Diets
Among the 133 patients described to date in the medical literature, 69 percent experienced at least 50 percent or greater reduction in the number of daily seizures, and 34 percent became seizure-free for at least a period of time. Some patients improved within three days of starting the diet, while others didn’t do so until three months later.
The report has been published in the Journal of Child Neurology.

Our daughter was one of the children mentioned in the study from Johns Hopkins using the Atkins diet for seizures. She fell into the category of 80% improved. We are very grateful. To support families using this therapy, we put together the website http://www.AtkinsforSeizures.com
