Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hello Arnold, I wanted to first thank you for this group. I have visited here from time to time over the past few years, and been able to glean, ponder, think, read, reread. So much of what you have here makes sense to me. My now 20 year old daughter has received much relief from intractable absence epilepsy using MAD first and then Keto. Out of desperation I had to fight for this therapy, and our results have been so much better than I expected. She had failed Depakote, Topomax, Celontin, Lamictal, and Clobazam. We are doing the diet as healthfully as possible using fresh foods, no chemicals and coconut oil. Unfortunately, her body is deciding not to burn ketones any more. She has had to go on Zonegran, but thankfully, it seems to be helping and we are not experiencing any bad side effects. We are still not seizure free, but very close. I think her seizures started due to inflammation from a second MMR she got when she was 10. Oh how I wish I could change the hands of time and know better, but I simply did not know much about the horror of immunizations then. I think that the ketogenic diet has been anti-inflammatory in nature, thus helping her brain heal. Do you have any information on trying to undo the damage of such immunizations? Metal detox? I am reading many of your messages especially the ones siting the vitamin b information. I was wondering if you have anything written here about what a typical day looks like for you meal-wise. Sorry this is so wordy. I appreciate all the help you so freely offer to people like us, looking for healing and answers. Sincerely, Dorene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
