Thread: Low Carb May Be Beneficial For People With Epilepsy

I ran across this article this morning, and thought that this was important news, and certainly encouraging.

amazing the benefits that diet can have on so many different diseases.

One of the first articles I found when I started researching low carb diets in early 2003 was by a nurse practioner who specialized in the care of epileptic children. The article was intended to help parents manage their epileptic child's ketogenic diet (in the face of temptations outside-goodies at school, friend's homes, etc.). It sounded as though a ketogentic diet was an accepted protocol for such children.

Anyway, I figured if it was safe for children, that was a very good indication it was safe for me!
