The diet is thought to help some children by inducing a seizure-calming condition called ketosis. Ketosis occurs when the body is forced to burn fat instead of sugar. Within 72 hours of starting the diet, Charlie (Abrahams) was seizure-free. "We felt as though we had had a miracle," recalls Abrahams, who in 1994 started the Charlie Foundation to Cure…

The disease, says Abrahams, was causing the “slow disintegration of Charlie (in ’92) “You have to go with hope, “says Abrahams (at home in Santa Monica with Charlie).

Terminology Epilepsy Terminology   Epilepsy is synonymous "with seizure disorder". An "epilepsy" diagnosis is given when an individual has 2 or more unprovoked seizures. Seizure—A surge in neuronal activity in the brain that can manifest in body movement or function, sensation, awareness or behavior. A seizure can last from a few seconds to status epilepticus, a continuous seizure that will not stop without intervention.
