With epilepsy or seizure disorders, if you do that diet you're actually going to decrease the incidence of seizures by 50% or 60%, which is as good if not better than most of the drugs that we have for epilepsy and seizure disorders without the side effects," said Dr. Marvasti."Plant-based proteins like beans, nuts, and seeds and foods.
