I eat a normal diet now. I was not on it for very long. I'm 23 now and it has been 2 decades since it was stopped.

A lot of heavy cream(usually put in a bottle instead of milk or formula), avocado, mayonnaise, eggs, coconut oil, cauliflower and other high fat foods like that. My parents told me they even gave me a stick of butter once but I wouldn't eat it.

Most kids eat a lot of bacon but my family are Orthodox Jewish so I did not.

I actually did not eat bacon because my family is Orthodox Jewish.

I eat bacon now though and it is amazing.

Oops sorry. the case study in the description was written in 1995. The story in my link was written when I was 19 which was the year 2011.

Now I am 23. I graduated college and am working in management although I'm applying for a phd in neuroscience.

I was completely cured. Even though I started speaking so late I caught up really quickly--with the help of a speech therapist. I don't think I have any long term side effects, but there are a lot during the diet. such as digestive issues, fatigue, irritability, chills and sweating, frequent urination etc. I actually did not know there were hormonal effects, but I'm haven't been on it for about 2 decades so I'm not sure it would affect me.

I was seizure free until about 16 when I developed very mild ones. The focal point is in my motor cortex and causes my left arm up to the elbow to become paralyzed for 30 seconds-2 minutes, and my fingers to painfully curl to my palm. After that the arm is really weak and a bit numb, but no other body part is affected. It has progressed to a grand mal about 3 times since I was 16 until now at 23. But my medicine is fine tuned and stops them completely.

Not it was idiopathic; doctors never found the cause.

At one point they thought they had the focal point found and were going to do a hemispherectomy (remove half of my brain) but they were wrong and never found that spot again. So I didn't do the surgery.
