Sometimes called the “miracle diet,” the ketogenic diet has helped doctors treat difficult-to-control epileptic seizures in thousands of children.

Coauthored by two respected Johns Hopkins neurologists, The Ketogenic Diet continues to be the definitive guide for parents, physicians, and dieticians wanting to implement this strict diet.

This fourth edition is extensively updated to reflect current advances in understanding how the diet works, how it should be used, and the future role of the diet as a treatment.

The best-seller also includes sample meal plans, a food database, a section on how the Atkins and modified ketogenic diet can be used as alternative diets to control epilepsy, and much more.

Charlie Foundation - Ketogenic Diet

The Charlie Foundation based in California USA is an establishment set up by parents of a kid who went through the Ketogenic Diet, and successfully overcame his Seizures in Epilepsy.





For those of you who are thinking of venturing into the Ketogenic Diet, I would suggest that you contact the Charlie Foundation, and just with a USD10 payment, they will send you a DVD on the Introduction to Ketogenic Diet.





The DVD is hosted by Meryll Streep and is about 45 mins long. They also interviewed the key doctor - Dr John Freeman and dietian - Millicent Kelly of John Hopkins Hospital. Lots of interviews with parents and also kids who have underwent the Ketogenic Diet and those who are still going through it.

They have a step by step session on the food preparation as well. Overall its a good DVD for parents who want to embark into the Ketogenic Diet. It would help you understand and also help answer some of your frequently asked questions.
