Default Atkins diet may reduce seizures in children with epilepsy

Yeah, but ketogenic diets for kids with epilepsy has generally been
considered on the "fringe" (kinda like low carb diets for weight
lossG). Now that low carb is getting mainstream recognition, it's
probably a good time for JHH to get this information back out to the
public as well as the medical community in hopes that people will look
at it with less skepticism. At least if they have a new study out there,
it will turn up in new literature searches.

Lee - an RN who actually learned about ketogenic diets in school!

PS - if anyone hasn't seen it and can find a copy, watch the movie
"First Do No Harm".

Damn...talk about reinventing the wheel! You'd think these folks would find
better things to spend research dollars on. They could start by doing a
literature study....
