Cambrooke Therapeutics Launches KetoVie.com to Focus on Improving the Lives of Children with EpilepsyCambrooke Therapeutics Inc., an innovation leader in therapeutic nutrition for inborn errors of metabolism and now ketogenic diet therapy, announces the launch of their new KetoVie.com website, aimed to help families reclaim as normal a life as possible while on a ketogenic diet for the dietary management of epilepsy. The effort falls under KetoVie's new branding, "Everyday is Everything." KetoVie's mission is to help bring a better quality of life to those with intractable epilepsy on a ketogenic diet. KetoVie.com will support this mission by sharing the latest information on research, the KetoVie brand of products, recipes and resources. In addition, the website will host an "Everyday is Everything" keto blog and a ketogenic newsletter, titled, Achieve Your Everyday, with the latest keto news and where parents can share insight as to how they practice the ketogenic diet. The web site explains, "Epilepsy stole your 'everyday'. We're here to help steal it back." The Ketogenic diet has been part of medical practice for over 95 years for the dietary management of difficult to control seizures. Epilepsy affects about 750,000 children in the United States with an estimated 20-30% who do not respond to medications. When medication fail, a ketogenic diet is an effective treatment with at least a 50% reduction in the number of seizures and 10-15% becoming seizure free. Renee Klein's five-year -old daughter, Luella, suffered with seizures and was diagnosed with a neuro-metabolic disorder called Glut-1 deficiency disorder (Glut-1DS). The only and first treatment protocol for Glut-1DS is a ketogenic diet. According to Renee, "The diet is life changing for Luella. Her symptoms are almost entirely mitigated with only 1 seizure in over two years. The ketogenic diet is tough and has a demanding protocol that impacts the entire family. Our ketogenic community is desperate for ready-made food products like Cambrooke's KetoVie Café Wholesome 3.5:1 Bread that will reduce the daily demand on caregivers. Getting time back and giving our kids control allows us to live each moment with our kids in a more meaningful, happy way." KetoVie.com is here to help families and be a resource with relevant and pertinent information to assist families with their everyday living. For more information visit www.KetoVie.com.
