| Summary |
"This edition continues the recent tradition of updating you every 5 years on what's new and noteworthy in the use of ketogenic diets, and we appreciate many comments from parents and patients that this book has become a "gold standard" guide. Our intention is to continue to make this book helpful for everyone on the ketogenic journey: parents, patients, caregivers for sure, but also physicians, dietitians, scientists, nurses, and social workers. We consider it a success if it helped make ketogenic diet therapies more approachable and effective for your family, yourself, and/or your ketogenic diet center"-- |
