Keto diet for epilepsy: push to make service more available for Kiwis who drugs can't help

Some do the keto diet to lose weight, others in the hope of controlling epilepsy.

More traditional methods of drugs or surgery don't stop everyone's seizures, so a Waikato advocate is calling for a third option: the high-fat, low-carb keto regime.

About 500 people signed Epilepsy Waikato Charitable Trust's petition, and the Health Select Committee has asked why the diet isn't more widely available to Kiwis with the neurological condition.
