Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hello-I am Joan mom to Jen on the Ketogenic diet for epilepsy. I found you all researching coconut oil. My first question would be can someone tell me all the available brands and where to find them? I have been using some from the local indian store(looks too old) and spectrum for hair which i just found out is refined(is that OK?) and is more expensive than the indian brand. Both are white and tasteless. I also use the thai milk which is good but not enough fat for the keto diet to use alone. I did check your archives and looked at he websites so I am interested in what I may be able to find locally. I don't think I want to spend $25 on a quart when I can get the indian brand for $6. We use tons of it. I tried spectrum palm oil which was much less expensive but it smoked like crazy when I fried with it so that is not an option. My other question is about the amino acids. We are using taurine & magnesium like a drug for seizure control as are another people I know from the internet. I tried to remove them & Jen had a withdrawl seizure. What natural alternatives do I have? I don't live near any farms for bone broth. It would also be difficult to calculate into the keto diet. Does some health oriented company make it canned? Wouldn't it be dangerous with mad cow disease if the bones were commercial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
