About this listen

The use of fasting to treat certain diseases, including epilepsy, can be traced to studies made by ancient physicians. But because prolonged fasting often resulted to muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies, further studies of modified diets were needed. During the early 1920s, Dr. Russel Wilder developed the ketogenic diet based on one of those studies and used it to treat epilepsy patients. It remained a popular treatment for epilepsy, especially for children, up to the next decade. But when anticonvulsant medications were developed and improved around the 1940s, the use of ketogenic diets declined until the mid-90s.

In 1994, the ketogenic diet regained its popularity through the testimony of Charlie Abrahams, a boy who suffered from epilepsy since childhood despite using anticonvulsant medications and medical treatments. His seizures were controlled only through the implementation of the ketogenic diet. This inspired his father, Hollywood producer Jim Abrahams, to build the Charlie Foundation which promotes and funds research about the diet. Since then, further studies were made and less restrictive models became available for anyone seeking health improvements and also for those desiring weight loss.
