Hi Karen, Some unusual sounding claims are still showing promise. Near the end of December 2010, I posted about the "Face Cream" cure of epilepsy: I've been searching for the "Face Cream" cure of epilepsy!!! The way it sounds, 700 to 800 calories of the ingredient gives the same preventive factor as the Atkin's Diet without the diet restrictions, other than eating the face cream stuff. I found it by "Fearless Woman Lacks Key Part of Brain" (both amygdalas) and http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/12/a-supplement-to-stop-seizures.html?ref=ra Eating Triheptanoin sounds difficult, despite the sauce. Which health shop is it in? http://pepck-and-the-ketogenic-diet.com/Triheptanoin-odd-carbon-fats.html "Lilith epilepsy" is near the top in Google search, and Q******** (spirit of epilepsy ignored by Maimonides?) is now with the lone listing. Looks like such a short name would have many more "random" matches. I wonder if it would be dangerous to use it as a domain name, etc.? Or will I end up really perplexed??? The latest 2013 search results return such as: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3422680/ ("In this review we discuss the current knowledge of triheptanoin in terms of its anticonvulsant and metabolic effects and its clinical potential in comparison to the ketogenic diet.") http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=triheptanoin%20epilepsy http://www.pepck-and-the-ketogenic-diet.com/Triheptanoin-odd-carbon-fats.html http://www.drugs.com/clinical_trials/ultragenyx-initiates-new-development-program-studying-triheptanoin-15921.html Tadzio
