MEDICAL OPINIONS ON THE KETOGENIC DIET

In April, 2008, at the International Symposium For Dietary
Therapies For Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders, we
had an opportunity to interview the following pediatric
neurologists and epileptologists who oversee the leading
ketogenic diet programs in the world. In the adjacent video
clips each doctor answers the three most frequently asked
questions:

1. What priority does the ketogenic diet deserve in the
   treatment of children with difficult to control epilepsy?
2. What success do you see with the ketogenic diet?
3. What is your advice to parents who encounter medical
   resistance to the ketogenic diet?

Each segment runs approximately seven minutes.
