This group is no longer an active forum but the files and archival messages are available to members as a support and information trove for parents/caregivers or individuals who are using the Modified Atkins Diet to control/eliminate a seizure disorder. This was NOT a Ketogenic Diet support/discussion group or a group to explore alternative treatments in general. Our mission was highly focused solely on educating ourselves and supporting each other in the proper implementation of the successful use of the modified version of the Atkins diet for the control and elimination of seizures. The moderators still approve requests for new memberships for those interested in researching this information. If you start from message number 1 you can follow the story of the list owners (Michael) son who became seizure free following this protocol. Along the way you will hear the stories of many others - both successes and failures.
