Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Several studies now show that a modified version of the Atkins diet may help folks with intractable seizures. Below are two articles I've posted on Suite 101 about the diet and some research studies on it that are looking for participants. Thanks for checking them out. Zoe Epilepsy - Modified Atkins Diet Research This article is about three research studies at Johns Hopkins on this diet therapy. They are recruiting participants for all three studies. A link to apply for the studies is at the bottom of the page under National Library on Medicine. _http://epilepsy.suite101.com/article.cfm/epilepsy_modified_atkins_diet_for_se izures_ (http://epilepsy.suite101.com/article.cfm/epilepsy_modified_atkins_diet_for_seiz\ ures) Epilepsy - Modified Atkins Diet Reduces Seizures This article is about the research and a young girl whose seizures dropped by 90% on the diet. _http://epilepsy.suite101.com/article.cfm/epilepsy_modified_atkins_diet_reduce s_seizures_ (http://epilepsy.suite101.com/article.cfm/epilepsy_modified_atkins_diet_reduces_\ seizures) Both articles give links to more information and support. **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store?
