Absolutely! My son has a severe seizure disorder and most of the time if the

first seizure drug they prescribe doesn't work (or stop seizures) thean there

is a 90% chance that none of them will. They have terrible side effects and

my poor son always looked stoned!

The Ketogenic Diet available thru s' Hopkins Med center has great results

with the diet. It is very tough but you only have to stick it out for 2

years. 50% success rate!!! If you would like to email me privately for more

info please do....pammil@....

good Luck!
