| That diet looks like it would help. From what I got from the reading its a cut the junk and eat right type of diet. You just need to get back to the basics for that diet to work. It would be worth a try.

| That is what I understand as well. There is also another that is based on the same idea: http://www.thepaleodiet.com/index.shtml The FAQ section is good. The SCD diet is gaining a lot of respect in the Autism community. It is helping kids regain speech, which is huge. Of course milk and grains are still eliminated. It is the concept that even Dogtor J brings up that healing the "system" is so important to many of these neurological problems. Seems to me like such a logical place to begin, rather than throwing another chemical into the cauldron. |

Further, I found this quote interesting (emphasis mine): Quote :
If you look at the conclusions drawn from the recent studies on the modified atkins and low glycemic index treatment diets: Quote :
I also speculated that it is the nature of the carbohydrates that might be the real key to the seizure control diets recently.
