On the news they said the reason this has not become more ubiquitous is because they are still trying to see if pills work. So basically everyone being treated for epilepsy is a guinea pig right now. So anyway, here's the site for anyone interested:

Interesting diet recommendation. I've had this very same subject on my mind this week after witnessing a man in the throes of a Grand Mal seizure at the airport in Seattle. I've always liked to read what research is going on at Johns Hopkins. My ex graduated from there. I wonder if they have any long term studies of this diet since it was implemented in the 1920's.
