Actually, the ketogenic diet used for epilepsy in small children was much
more extreme than the Atkins diet and required restriction of fluids and
almost no carbs at all for many months. It was never "standard" though used
as a solution of last resort for children with epilesy for whom drug therapy
did not work.

So this is something new . . .

Atkins diet may reduce seizures in children with epilepsy


Talk about wasting money on research.... A Lo Carb diet was
considered standard for Epilepsy patients before the drugs now
commonly used were available.
