Pediatric Care
The first scientific report on fasting as of value in the treatment of epilepsy was in France by Guelpa and Marie (1) in 1910 who reported that seizures stopped during absolute fasting. Later on, other investigators observed cessation of seizures and improvement in mental activity during starvation. These results prompted the reproduction of ketosis and acidosis by means of a high fat -low carbohydrate diet in 1921 by Wilder (2) at the Mayo Clinic who was trying to prolong the state of ketosis in diabetics. Dr John M. Freeman (3), reports that almost concurrently at the Johns Hopkins Department of Pediatrics, Howland and Gamble observed that "prayer and a water diet which involved starvation for three to four weeks" improved the seizures of the nephew of a professor of pediatrics. They decided to use the diet because prayer alone was ineffective. And so the ketogenic diet was born. Other investigators like Drs Lennox and Cobb In Harvard University started investigating the ketogenic diet concurrently.
