Its pretty incredible isn't it? I had a mentally challenged client once who had almost daily seizures, and she had a huge craving for anything fatty, yet she was really slim. We were worried about her heart. She would sneak spoonfuls of butter or mayonnaise out of the fridge, and would
go for days refusing to eat anything but greasy sausages sometimes 12 at one time. Coincidentally I saw a news program about seizures and it said that a high fat diet can be successful in lessening them when all else has failed because the cholesterol helps to form a protective sheath on the "nerves" (I can't remember the proper term) which cause the brain to seizure. Needless to say we stopped trying to discourage her fat eating and her seizures lessened substantially.... Too bad that body intuition has been trained out of most of us.Gabbi-
