A Ketogenic Success

Alli

Allie was a 3 year old girl seen by us for consult- ation in 2002 regarding her intractable seizures. She was having hundreds of grand mal and head drop seizures daily and had failed five different anticonvulsants, pushed to toxic doses. She was placed on the ketogenic diet and within one week became seizure-free. Medications were quickly weaned and in May 2004, after two years, Allie was taken off the ketogenic diet and remains seizure-free and doing wonderful in school to date.
