Great video! The ketogenic diet was actually first developed in the 1920s specifically to treat epilepsy, so there's not just "over a decade of validation," more like a century! Also plenty of data showing efficacy in both adults and children.
I want you to know that there is a cure for seizure and I cured mine with herbal remedy form Dr Ehime who I met on RU-vid channel. His name is Dr Ehime.
The movie First Do No Harm starring Meryl Streep told the real life story of a family that rediscovered the diet after one of their children failed to respond to seizure medications.

Hello. Very informative video. You said "I've included a web site in the description box indicating what food to eat and what food to avoid". Where is the link please. Thank you.
When I read it was more useful for children I wondered if it's because parents would ensure strict carb control, whereas adults would find it hard to stay in ketosis. It does take a lot of discipline. You must at least try keto properly with no cheating if you have seizures. Good luck
3:45 this happened to me yesterday! I was on Keto then i thought i would reward myself with a chocolate chip cookie, then 40 or so minutes after I had a seizure on the bus!
@@ivanovskism Hey thanks for asking, my seizures are not as frequent since I got a hair test done by a Naturopath. I'm intolerant to Milk protein and MSG!
@@masterchief5437 Gotcha, thanks for letting me know. My brother is on the autism spectrum disorder, and has seizures but we can't figure out why. So it's good to know that this could also be a possibility for his seizures
I can confirm that keto style diet and fasting eliminates my mild seizure activity. I started eating more crappy while travelling and when over stimulated in shopping centre (very busy, noisy, Saturday), I got very confused as twitchy! Yep recommend good eating! Stay away from all chemicals and medications and vaccines!

I also have seizures I get them once a month.I have tried everything but nothing helps.All I can do is pray and maybe someone can help me😢 I'll keep you in my prayers because it's awful living with this disability🙏🙌.
Well there's a reason it says to consult a doctor before doing this. And just because it's popular for weight loss doesn't mean it's for weight loss. Did you not watch the video and just comment? It's for epilepsy and you're only supposed to use this diet under a doctors supervision
Most approved mental health disorder drugs you know are actually drugs against epilepsy , meaning keto is almost certain to be great for mental conditions
So I've been researching a lot on epilepsy since I have been diagnosed with it, but I don't know if others go through nausea randomly like I do, and I've been trying to look for a video or anything informative about it but can't seem to find it, so I'd really appreciate it if you would make a video on it as well.

All epilepsy meds cause effects which are condusive to nausea. For example, mild vertigo links to it. Tired or dizy links to sickness. Muscle weakness.... Fatigue... List goes on. Anything can potentially link to random days being a bit worse for nausea. Speaking from a veteran here of many years, many meds. After a seizure, of any kind pay attention to what food you crave. For me it was orange juice and kebabs. I realized it really meant FATFATFAT foods and rapid hydration. I recommend you listen to your body after seizures as it will tell you what will help at its worst time and then you can add more of that food into your diet. I never ever drink caffeine and eat 50% meat/fat and tonnes of vegetables, particularly sprouts and broccoli. Seizure free 4 years.
@@ROHITSHARMA-gv2ko I eat a modified keto style diet. Low sugar low carb and low caffeine. Anything that produces high ups and downs in energy levels really messed with my consistency. High fat meat, particularly red meat and pork suit me very well. If I load up on carbs I feel groggy and it makes me nauseous. So I opted for eating alot of vegetables and trial and error lead me to notice that green veg (generally) has no highs and lows in energy, it feels consistent and that allows me to function and know that I am not going to struggle the next day if something important comes up. Red meat never makes an impact on nausea for me and I find it also keeps me comfortable energy-wise. Timing is also very important with food/drink as anything which affects sleep has massive ramifications the following day to most people with epilepsy. I recommend cutting things out completely and then introducing them back one at a time to see if you notice a change (good or bad). When I first did Keto I saw this. I came off keto and started introducing carbs again. Immediately I found complex carbs dragged me down for a full 5 hours after a meal. Then I wondered ok what else is off. I introduced carbs but only gluten free stuff and in smaller amounts and found that I had a far better balance and I felt more rested . I eliminated all sugary drinks for a week, reintroduced them a bit, I had similar noticeable differences. I can drink pepsi Max and it's FAR better than Diet Coke which I used to drink. I wondered why and found artificial sweeteners such as aspertain (I think that's the spelling) were a HUGE issue. Regular sugar in moderation is far better for my function than artificial sweeteners which surprised me. So I seriously recommend trying that experiment. Coffee ruins my sleep if I drink it after 5pm but tea (green tea particularly) is more regular in its lower caffeine spikes and also it has a lesser diarrhetic effect than coffee which helps with things to regulate nausea as there's less impact on my gut or bowel etc. So my suggestion would be, eliminate all non gluten free stuff and then re-introduce things slowly e.g try brown rice, if bad - replace with cauliflower rice (amazingly better for me) . Bring in bread, white, then try brown, then gluten free. Eliminate all sugar and then try different ones piece by piece. It's a LOT of effort but once you know, you can be aware of these things for the rest of your life. My most recent discovery was I could drink beer fine but occasionally it would make me sick or sleepy even after only 1 pint. I wondered why and realised it was when I had IPAs , specifically high Hops IPA. IPAs are inconsistent with their ingredients. I now only drink liquor or American lagers because I know they work for me even if I have 10 pints. Trial and error will make your life better in the long run. Regular meal timings and sleep patterns are a huge deal in epilepsy. Diet is a bigger factor than most people think. There's a reason why doctors ALWAYS try a keto diet on children with uncontrolled epilepsy. In about 30% of people it means an improvement. My friend halved his med intake after changing his diet after 10 years of struggling to control seizures. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a difference understanding your body allows you to enjoy life. I went on my stag do and happily did not fear a seizure or bad effects from medications due to alcohol as I know if I only drink spirits and fruit juices that my energy will be ok and I won't be at risk of a seizure. If it goes well it can give you freedom to predict how you will feel. I wish you luck and success. It is not easy but it can be worth it.
I totally give up carb food and sugar. I eat beef,chicken,pork,cheese, egg and drink milk.Seizure free almost three months.before I had seizure every month.Yesterday I ate two pieces valentine chocolate,then I had a seizure this morning.😢It made me throw up and I am tired whole day.Seems I have to stick without sugar and never reward myself.

A friend of mine stated that she has a friend with epilepsy that has low mag and potassium but evidently this woman drinks a lot of alcohol too which you can NOT be doing either if you are epileptic or have seizures from prescriptions etc soon told her this woman needs to STOP drinking alcohol and eat more bananas, etc keto diet basically and her disorder will reduce so reason why I pulled these videos up!
My neurologist said this diet is only recommended if seizures have not responded to several different seizure medications! Check with your neurologist first !
Would you listen to yourself. Your neurologist said to try new man made tablets and if they fail then eat a natural healthy diet. Mate if he stops selling medication he won’t get the $$$. I’d try getting a new doctor and try eating right before trying medication geezus
So you mean if im on a keto diet and reward myself some food with carbs more than 20% i will have seizures? Btw i usually have 2 episode of seizure a year. Im considering this as a treatment but that ketones + glucose scares me
Speak to the pediatrician about putting your baby on the keto diet for epilepsy. Watch the “first do no harm” movie with Meryl Streep. Lots of help, it is based on a trues story about a baby boy who was diagnosed with epilepsy and went on the keto diet and was cured/ healed. It is also biblical. Mark 9:28 these types on lot go out by prayer and fasting. The keto diet has been around for thousands of years. Greeks use to lock up people with epilepsy in dungeons forcing them to fast assuming they would be starving the Desmond out and when they let the people out they were healed. What they were doing as well is releasing the ketosis in their brain. I hope this helps you. I know what you are going through.
@@loaniew26 I'm 40 years old and for the first time recently I've had two seizure attacks, so do think if I start Ketogenic diet the attacks can stop forever?
James Sempala Hi James, you should speak to a neurologist and if you feel comfortable let them know you want to try the diet before you go on any meds. There is a documentary on the diet it is very good it’s called the “magic pill”. It documents a few people with different illnesses Some with epilepsy, cancer, autism, asthma, adhd, diabetes and others each person is documented about their symptoms. They then try the diet for a certain time and then documentary goes in to revealing how it helped them. Some were healed completely some were being healed, some were able to get off of meds they were on for so long. There is also the movie named “First Do No Harm” with Meryl Streep. Very good movie and based off of a true story also about the keto diet and epilepsy. I would definitely think if you can try it go for it. Some people have been on meds for so long and they don’t but the keto worked for them when meds didn’t. If I were you I would first do no harm to myself. It is your choice though. I will keep you in my prayers. I hope this helps.
Looking into this because of migraines, do you guys think that migraines are "like" epilepsy, is quite interesting that the same drugs are used as profilactic.
Migraines are also due to brain activity. As is thing like bipolar etc and cataplexy and all often use similar medications. Try eliminating things which have real impacts on activity in the brain like caffeine or sugars. I recommend also checking if gluten intolerance is an issue. There are studies noting that these things interact with epilepsy and brain related issues like migraines. And to some extent autoimmune conditions have been treated with keto style diets.
1:16, this food pyramid is an appalling representation of a ketogenic diet. Burgers and Pizza should NOT be represented as appropriate foods and milk/carrots and beans should not be used to represent proteins.
I’m no neurologist, but you can literally smoke weed all day and be seizure free. Of course everyone is different and everyone has different type of seizures.. My brother had the worst types of seizures to where you just fall to the ground and start to seiz.. he was told at 14 he was epileptic. Doctors don’t know nothing about the brain. Long story short . He has stopped taking meds and smokes pot every day till he is insanely stoned. I’m serious Mary Jane is a medicine . He hasn’t had a seizure in 3 yrs. he was tired of the side effects from meds. Yes, they worked but the costs of meds and bills from the neurologist is expensive. If you know or have a member in your circle I highly suggest you to encourage quitting meds, don’t drink, sleep well, eat well and smoke pot!!!
I struggled with the keto diet too much, I just felt exhausted. We're supposed to enjoy the food we eat and with keto that's close to impossible. That's why I tried the *Agoge diet* and it works great.
I was told by my doctor not to stick with the keto diet because it's harmful. He said I should eat a diverse diet so I tried the Agoge diet and I'm starting noticing less stubborn belly fat really fast.
Depends on the state of your epilepsy. I would suggest trying to ketogenic diet regardless as its effective in all forms of seizures I've seen so far. Maybe you can continue medication whilst on keto.
For some, it's primary. For others, it's secondary (behind prescription medication). Some appear to be permanently cured after a year or longer on a ketogenic diet. I've had 100% seizure control (without medication) for three years on the diet, but I had a seizure this year after straying from the diet. It doesn't necessarily need to be super strict, but I recommend everyone with epilepsy be on some variation of the ketogenic diet.
Justin Shields a year later? I’m assuming you’re waiting to be seizure free for a certain period of time. I was denied because I take medication for my seizures. If you don’t take medication and are seizure free sure but just know the marines won’t accommodate a keto diet and any seizure during basic your gone. Not discouraging you but just have a backup plan in case, like I did.
Keto should not be followed by healthy people, and there must be medical supervision. If you want to lose fat or cellulite then definitely try the Agoge diet, it worked wonders for me.
Keto is not worth it in my honest opinion. It is unhealthy and difficult to stick with. I recommend the Agoge diet because it is personalized and diverse and most importantly worked great for me.

Keto works but honestly I felt like shit from the start. Then I tried the *Agoge diet* plan and it also worked, but I did not feel bad at all, so I am sticking with the Agoge diet.
This would be great for most; if epilepsy it was their only problem. However, for people that have epilepsy and have also had kidney or liver transplants cannot. After having a kidney transplant you cannot go on a keto diet of any kind.
