What is the ketogenic diet used for?
The ketogenic diet is primarily used to reduce or eliminate seizures in children who have difficult to control seizures. As Abrahams describes, this treatment is now being researched to help control various other types of neurological disorders. Why didn’t medical professionals accept the diet in the past?
