Similar to reports for the malaria parasite (40), artemisone was more than 10-fold more active than artesunate in inhibiting wild-type T. gondii and almost 30-fold potent than artemisinin.

"We had my 9 year old son on the GAPS diet for autism for 4 months, we had noticed some mild improvements with diet alone, and then in the fourth month we found VSL#3, which was recommended by Dr. Bryce Wylde. He has now been through 3 boxes, he takes it twice a day. The difference in him is REMARKABLE! Probiotics and diet are changing my son's life. It's a financial burden but worth every penny in the end. I highly recommend this product and omitting irritating foods."

"... treating blood glucose dysregulation, identifying and avoiding allergenic foods, and avoiding suspected triggering agents such as alcohol, aspartame, and monosodium glutamate. The ketogenic diet may be considered for severe, treatment-resistant cases. The Atkins diet (very low in carbohydrates) is a less restrictive type of ketogenic diet that may be effective in some cases. Nutrients that may reduce seizure frequency include vitamin B6, magnesium, vitamin E, manganese, taurine, dimethylglycine, and omega-3 fatty acids. Administration of thiamine may improve cognitive function in patients with epilepsy. Supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B6, biotin, vitamin D, and L-carnitine may be needed to prevent or treat deficiencies resulting from the use of anticonvulsant drugs. Vitamin K1 has been recommended near the end of pregnancy for women taking anticonvulsants. Melatonin may reduce seizure frequency in some cases, and progesterone may be useful for women with cyclic exacerbations of seizures. In most cases, nutritional therapy is not a substitute for anticonvulsant medications. However, in selected cases, depending on the effectiveness of the interventions, dosage reductions or discontinuation of medications may be possible."

VSL3 https://www.vsl3.ca/testimonials.asp
"We had my 9 year old son on the GAPS diet for autism for 4 months, we had noticed some mild improvements with diet alone, and then in the fourth month we found VSL#3, which was recommended by Dr. Bryce Wylde. He has now been through 3 boxes, he takes it twice a day. The difference in him is REMARKABLE! Probiotics and diet are changing my son's life. It's a financial burden but worth every penny in the end. I highly recommend this product and omitting irritating foods."

"... treating blood glucose dysregulation, identifying and avoiding allergenic foods, and avoiding suspected triggering agents such as alcohol, aspartame, and monosodium glutamate. The ketogenic diet may be considered for severe, treatment-resistant cases. The Atkins diet (very low in carbohydrates) is a less restrictive type of ketogenic diet that may be effective in some cases. Nutrients that may reduce seizure frequency include vitamin B6, magnesium, vitamin E, manganese, taurine, dimethylglycine, and omega-3 fatty acids. Administration of thiamine may improve cognitive function in patients with epilepsy. Supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B6, biotin, vitamin D, and L-carnitine may be needed to prevent or treat deficiencies resulting from the use of anticonvulsant drugs. Vitamin K1 has been recommended near the end of pregnancy for women taking anticonvulsants. Melatonin may reduce seizure frequency in some cases, and progesterone may be useful for women with cyclic exacerbations of seizures. In most cases, nutritional therapy is not a substitute for anticonvulsant medications. However, in selected cases, depending on the effectiveness of the interventions, dosage reductions or discontinuation of medications may be possible."
