Research in humans is preliminary, but promising. One research article from 2011 indicated an average 16% reduction in seizures in people whose epilepsy wasn't completely controlled by medication, but the authors emphasize that the group under study was small, and more work with larger groups and over a longer period of time needs to be done to confirm this. Your doctor should have access to the most recent research, so please ask your doctor, follow what he recommends, and don't add any supplements to your DD's diet without your doctor's approval.
