No Man Could Do this!

Dittohd writes "Tuesday night on Dateline, they did a story about a child who during his first year or two, developed severe and frequent epileptic seizures. Many each day. Doctors tried different drugs and the seizures weren't diminishing. Frustrated, the father did some heavy research and found out about a specific diet (low carb) known about at least 50 years ago to diminish or stop seizures in children) but no doubt isn't readily known or utilized because it doesn't utilize drugs. He took his child to the actual doctor (retired now) who discovered the effects of this diet on child epilepsy. Turns out this diet has a 50%-70% success rate. In this case, it stopped the seizures completely until the child grew out of the problem at 7 years of age.

To make a long story short, Hollywood found out about this and did/is doing a movie about this case. Guess who's playing the father. Meryl Streep! MERYL STREEP!!!!! MERYL STREEP!!!!

Are we fighting a losing battle???? I still can't believe the chutzpuh!"
