back story...I have a 13 year old who is moderately emotionally disabled...13 but acts 9 and unfortunately looks 15.

About two weeks ago because of this forum I started implementing the paleo deit to loose weight.

Today my daughter had an appoinment with her latest neurologist who, finally, after years of searching diagnosed her with, in the generic let's not get into term, micro seizures. He then went on to explain he wanted me to try this kind of far out diet that is high in protein and natural foods called the Paleolithic diet.

I was FLOORED and informed him that this was what I had been doing and she had shown improvement in the last couple weeks (I had mentioned the improvement but not the diet.) and he then said to start having her train with me for the Tri and said my idea of hiking the AP was sound and I should do it as soon as next spring! I am SO excited. (her not so much, LOL)

When my aunt cut her son's fat intake, the quantity and severity of the seizures he was experiencing decreased dramatically. It's amazing how much of an effect diet really can have. It's awesome that you've been able to find an effective way of addressing her difficulty, even if she's not especially fond of it.

That's great news! I've done research into strict Paleo & ketogenic diets for children and the preliminary studies/theory into the effects of our modern diet into other diseases. It's quite extraordinary. I'm so happy for you, that is truly wonderful that he's supportive.
