Thank you Dr Eric for your pioneering work on keto therapy over decades! You have and continue to make an enormous difference to the lives of children, adults and now babies with epilepsy.
I was left with Complex Partial Seizures or Focal seizures I think they now call them in 2004 after numerous blows to the head which damaged the "left temporal lobe" during a Domestic Violence incident. I was left with a Traumatic Brain Injury at the age of 43. In 2005 I was having two seizures six months apart until the doctors started me on Epilim which I stopped suddenly in 2007 because of the side effects which then increased the seizures. This then brought the seizures monthly so I am now having anywhere from 2 – 5 seizures a month at approximately the same time every month around the same time when my hormones changed. It is unethical that I was never told about the keto diet before trying me on medication as it may have stopped the two seizures a year. In 2007 the doctors decided to start trying all sorts of different medications again. This went on for about six years with no change to the seizures, in fact the medications were making the seizures worse. I have around 20 – 24 seizures a year which I have documented for many years. I decided to stop all medications in 2012 because they were not making any change to the amount of seizures I was having. I am still refusing medications and started researching the keto/carnivore diet about two years ago after one of my first bad falls in June 2022.
Amazing to hear how he has transformed lives of children and adults with this diet!
Please share with anyone with an interest in epilepsy, seizures, and ketogenic diet therapy.
