Epilepsy is a disease that causes convulsions due to excessive brain activity. Anti-convulsive medications are effective for some people with epilepsy. However, others do not respond to medication or can not tolerate side effects.
Of all the pathologies that can be treated by a ketogenic diet, epilepsy is by far the one that has received the most scientific evidence. This diet was designed in the 1920s by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Hospital Center in the United States for patients with epilepsy.
The numerous studies that followed this discovery show that seizures typically improve for about 50% of patients with epilepsy who follow a classical ketogenic diet.
