SEIZURES & NSNG
- Angel is somewhat new to NSNG compared to some others around here
- She found Vinnie's show through her neighbor
- Flunked out of Weight Watchers several times and gave up sugar
- She was struggling, but her neighbor recommended this podcast which made a difference for her
- Her foster child (who is now her child!) had horrible seizures
(age 3)
- Incredibly intense
- Doctors wanted to medicate him without even seeing him
- He was clear for 9 months, then had another grand mal seizure
- Doctors keep wanting to try different drugs and said keto was
not that safe
- It didn't sound right to her so she looked into it
- Charlie Foundation was part of it, too (Jim Abrams)
- It didn't sound right to her so she looked into it
- Eventually, Angel walked in and said "I'm doing keto with my
son, so either do it with me or I will find a new doctor"
- Her doctor got on board
- Will also takes Vitamin D to help his seizures
- Take matters into your own hands, parents, if you feel that
something is fishy
- Talk to your nutritionist about their history and their success
- Make sure you tell people about NSNG - it can incredibly impact others' lives, like Angel's neighbor did for her
- Parenting ain't easy but trust your gut - YOU are the parent
