Just wanted to mention that my son also has untreatable epilepsy (among his other diagnoses). His seizures have never been more frequent than once a month but they are long — some over an hour. The neurologist had me put him on the Atkins diet since he is too old for the Ketogenic diet. He had his last seizure in July (he overheated from walking outside) and it only lasted 2-3 minutes. Normally, they last at least 20 minutes.

The Atkins diet is not too difficult to implement — it’s low carb. You may want to read up on it at epilepsy.com and talk to Brandon’s doctor. Here’s link: http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/treatment_atkins_diet

We started at phase 3 since weight loss was not the goal — no fasting.
