Why Another Website dedicated to Atkins for Seizures? 

I have created this lens to address numerous specific issues related to the Atkins for Seizures website.

If you've read our ebook, or visited our website, you may have asked questions such as:

Can I help spread the word about this Therapy?
Does this work for Adults?
How can I share my recipes?
How can I tell my story?
How can I work from home and get more time for my family?

After reading through this site, please sign my Guestbook and leave any ideas or suggestions on what you would like to see here.

Please note. You will need to "join Squidoo" to post recipes and comments. It is free, and takes about 20 seconds. The link is at the top right corner of this page.

Thanks!

10 Things you can do to make a difference!

While Atkins for Seizures has not brought world peace (yet), it has provided a dramatic improvement in quality of life for many children and adults suffering from epileptic seizures. This therapy is so new - that the word is just getting out (see RSS feed at the bottom of this page). Here are some ways you can make a difference in someone's life by helping to spread the word:

Find More Recipes & Suggest Your own! 

One of the secrets to compliance (especially for a child attending public school) is a great variety of low carb recipes. Do you have a favorite? Use the form below to submit recipes you would like to share.

Share Your Recipes 

(And Vote for Your Favorite)

Please use these recipes carefully! Some people using Atkins for Seizures can tolerate things that others will have a bad reaction to (for example, sugar alcohols). Use these recipes as a guide or source of ideas - keeping your unique situation in mind.

How Can I Tell My/Our Story? 

Also, Does the Modified Atkins Diet for Seizures Work for Adults?

I've been blessed to meet hundreds of amazing families and people through the Atkins for Seizures website and eBook. Reading their stories and getting to know them has truely enriched our lives.

Why not take 15 or 20 minutes and share your story? It is extremely easy to set up a "lens" just like this one. Simply click on the box that says "make a lens" and follow the steps. Its okay if its not perfect. You can add to it whenever you want. If you can type - you can put together a lens.

After you have a lens in place, join our group. We will all be linked together and your story can inspire hundreds more! (you may even earn a little income from the site).

PS - Yes this diet works for adults too. I've gotten to know several, and hope their stories will soon be availble via lens.

Work From Home? 

In both my eBook and my Atkins for Seizures website I mention the privilege my wife and I have of working from home. The tax benefits, the time freedom, and the time spent together are truely fantastic.

Many have asked (at my invitation) if I could point them toward a similar situation. I've decided to use Squidoo to share everything we do. So as not to clutter up the focus of this lens - I am creating a new lens for each business we run. These lenses detail what is working for us.

    Hi Gary. After how long on being on the Modified Atkins Diet, did the doctor begin to first decrease the medications? Did the doctor begin to decrease the medication because he/she noticed that the diet was working? I am hesitant in decreasing medicine while my brother is on the diet, because I don't want any withdrawal seizures.

    Hi, my brother is now 13 and started having seizures when he was 4 months old. He has gone through many many medications, and nothing seems to work. Since January, his seizure activity has gotten worse and it has become cyclical in that it happens on the same day of every week. -----Is that unusual? could it be because of puberty?

    He recently started the Modified Atkins Diet to control his seizures (along with his medications). He takes 15-20mg of carbs a day. My question is after how many weeks/months does the atkins diet start to decrease the seizure activity?

    It would be our dream come true to see him seizure-free, and I wish that for everyone. Best wishes, Maywish

    Hello Roshnee, sorry for the long wait. Hope things are getting better for your daughter. Being able to "stomach" low carb takes a little adjusting. Especially if her diet has been much different from what she is eating now. What do you feed her on this wonderful ketogenic diet by the way? Perhaps you might want to reduce her fat intake a little and as she makes the adjustments begin to increase the amount. What kind of fats are you feeding her? My recommendations are coconut oil, butter,olive oil, avocado oils. So she doesn't have to have a lot of meat fats, yet. You want her to enjoy the diet so I would take my time adding those fats. They're wonderful and probably the most important nutrient in any diet. But we've been taught to avoid these so it is something quite new for the body. I will be e mailing you soon.

    Thanks Dear,
    Mary

Is there a Vaccination Connection to Epilepsy? 

Many have expressed concern over mercury that has been commonly used in everyday vaccinations given to children. Does this cause autism? How about seizures? Many believe so. To provide a starting place to research this question, and to find ideas on what to do if you suspect this is a problem for you or your loved one, I have set another Lens here:
