Larry and Paulette George had never seen a seizure before when their 7 month old daughter, Christina, began having more than 100 seizures a day. They tried medication after medication, but the seizures wouldn't stop. They flew 1,200 miles to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, seeking answers and hope. The ketogenic diet stopped the seizures and paved the way for Christina to have brain surgery at Mayo Clinic. She has not had a seizure since 2001. Today, Christina is a beautiful, healthy, smart and active 12 year old. For more information about pediatric epilepsy treatment at Mayo Clinic, visit http://www.mayoclinic.org/epilepsy/children.html.
