In 1923, Dr. Russell Wilder, or could be Wilder, I'm not sure, was working in the male clinic,

and he observed or read about people in history not having seizures when they fasted.

So he was curious about that, and you want to find a way that he could mimic fasting,

because eventually a person is going to have to eat, and when they start eating, the seizures can

come back. So what he found is when you put someone on a low-carb diet, you can actually reduce their

seizures by 50%, which is pretty significant. And 15% of that group

completely got rid of their seizures 100%. So that began the classic keto diet for epilepsy.

And it's definitely evolved into various ratios of fat to protein and carb.

So you could do a four to one ratio, where you have four times as much fat to protein and carb,

or three to one, or two to one, or even one to one. Now the more ratio of fat to protein and carb,

the more you're going to get into ketosis, and the less ratio, the less you're going to get

into ketosis. And so one of the reasons why they have different ratios is because as you

lessen the fat, increasing protein and carb, it makes it easier for the patient. There's better
