Less than a year ago, four-year-old Max Irvine was having hundreds of seizures a day. Under the guidance of Mayo Clinic pediatric neurologist Elaine Wirrell, M.D., Troy and Kristine Irvine took Max off all his epilepsy medications and relied on the ketogenic diet to inhibit his seizures. The day he took his last pill, he started to walk again. That evening he began talking again and Max has not had another seizure since that day. This video tells their story.

I've had grand mal seizures for 32 years...I've been on Dylantin and Phenobarbital, and now I'm on Tegretol but it isn't fully keeping the seizure activity down. I have tried different diets and nothing has ever worked fully, but I've never tried the Ketogenic Diet before...this video is very interesting to me-I want to try something that works for others and see if it might help me!

I have some mental health issues and a loose diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy, I was wondering if there are positive effects for those with TLE or mental illness?

adjusted my ketogenic diet. I now eat less fat and more non-grain carbohydrates like vegetables, fruits, and dairy. I've lost a little weight and I really like the effects on my consciousness. Yeehaw! :)

Since I first saw this video, I started the ketogenic diet. I've been on it for a month now, and already it's wonderful! I can remember names, like I haven't before.

Medication: Dylantin was BAD. Too strong. I don't know if it didn't actually damage my brain.
Gabapentin at a low dose (200 MG a day) helped me very much. My seizures might have been lesser, though. I think it's very gentle. It's actually given usually in conjunction with something else. But, I take it alone.
