I am using a low grains diet for my son with added brain fats like virgin
cocnut oil, fish oil and flaxseed oil mixed into yoghurt and am looking for a
doc
to help us withdraw him again safely from the AEDs which are causing his body
to deteriorate. He's only had one seizure in the last eight months.......
the fewest in many years, so I think, for him, this is a good sign. Also look
at the Ketogenic diet for similarities.
Hope this helps
