Caraballo concludes: "Considering the severity and intractability of seizures in patients with Dravet syndrome, the fact that 10 of the 13 children who remained on the diet had a significant reduction in number of seizures shows that the ketogenic diet
is at present an interesting therapeutic alternative. Even in patients in whom seizure reduction was not dramatic, quality of life improved".AMAZON UK Epilepsy and the Ketogenic Diet: Clinical Implementation and the Scientific Basis (Nutrition and Health)
