I am so happy to see more and more families become aware of the effectiveness of the Low Glycemic Index Treatment for seizures. We had a great response from people wanting to know more about how it can work for their loved ones with Angelman Syndrome from our segment last month. The Angelman Syndrome Foundation hosted a free online webinar with Dr. Thibert addressing seizures and specifics on the LGIT, which is available on their site.

Today we must utilize what can help individuals with Angelman Syndrome.…
