Clinical Trial of Low Glycemic Index Treatment proves effective for reducing seizures by 80 – 90%

Dr. Thibert and Dr. Elizabeth Thiele (both are members of the Scientific Advisory board for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation) were able to launch a clinical study to determine the efficacy of the Low Glycemic Index Treatment in reducing seizures in individuals with Angelman Syndrome.  In July 2012 the results were in and published in Epilepsia and in the Angelman Syndrome Foundation newsletter.
