Study just recently published, focusing on whether children who attained seizure freedom on the Ketogenic diet maintain seizure freedom.

The study focused on children who were having multiple daily seizures.

1) Average time to seizure freedom was 6 weeks
2) Some children who attained seizure freedom of at least one month did have relapses, but not as frequent or severe as previously
