7. Just to relate something similar.

I saw a documentary some 20 or 30 years ago made by a film maker...can't remember his name now...but he had a son that had seizures and the doctors kept proscribing different medications and nothing helped and they got worse.
So he did some research on it and found that back at the turn of the century there was a clinic that treated such conditions and they claimed success, but he could find no information on it whatsoever.
Then he discovered that there was a nurse still alive that worked there so he went to see her and found out what the treatment was...and yes it sure sounded like woo...what they did was put them on a high fat diet...cream instead of milk and lots of butter and fatty foods...so to make a long story short it worked and his son never had any more of the seziures...and he made a film about it.

I wish I could remember who he was and what the name of the film was, but it was too long ago for my memory to dredge it up.
