Read the stinking article.

It says......

“But what we are doing is mainstream science. Elizabeth Thiele, the doctor who prescribed and oversees Sam’s diet, is the head of the pediatric epilepsy program at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School. In fact, the regimen, known as the ketogenic diet, is now offered at more than 100 hospitals in the United States, Canada and other countries. We’re not opposed to drugs; we tried many. But Sam’s seizures were drug-resistant, and keto, the universal shorthand, often provides seizure control when drugs do not. “

Glad you found something that works. I know nothing about the diet, but remember an infant on the Peds unit when I worked at Pontiac General Hospital....(This spelling will be wrong) but he had what is called *status epilepticus*, they tried every thing and the 9 month old child seizured for 24 hours...I didn't work that unit the next day, but have never seen doctors in such a panic before or after that patient. It is very sad to see..

What ever works is great, cause for some, nothing works...You cannot argue with results...

For some its death or severe brain damage...Glad for you and your little one.
