I would highly recommend anyone who deals with epilepsy to listen to the recent BBC Medical Maters Programme that was aired on the 22nd of Feb 2011.
The Podcast can be downloaded here:
Dr Mark Porter discusses epilepsy and its treatment. Advances in brain scanning and surgery mean an increasing number of people can be cured with an operation. However, surgery is not an option for the majority. Mark talks to epilepsy specialists about drug treatments, and a special high-fat diet, known as the ketogenic diet, which helps to reduce the severity of the condition in some children.
