Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Thanks . I know it is mentioned in a lot of natural health books, the trouble is the medical professionals will not take it seriously unless there is 'scientific proof' and until there is, the companies making products will go along with what legislation requires - it sucks all round! This is another reason why it is SO important to get this trial completed in the UK. Even with all the research etc that our American friends have done, the books that have been published, that we all have - doctors STILL say there is not ENOUGH scientific evidence it works and although it will work for some children, drugs are the better option, blah, blah, blah - so much so, that our doctors hardly know about it, if they do - they dismiss it and half the time they get the facts wrong as well, and we only have a few dieticians that have been trained or are willing to do the ketogenic diet. I'm sorry if I'm clumping all doctors in together here, I know there are some out there that do know about it and are willing to refer their patients but they are few and far between. I have taken into hospital a couple of times (not related to seizures I hasten to add or the diet)and he has been seen by Registrars and SHO's, nurses etc and when I've said he's on the ketogenic diet, the response has been 'the what diet?' - didn't have a clue. I'm telling them what IV to use - how mad is that? - Anyway, I can feel my soapbox coming out! Must go before I go into a rant! Take Care.
