KETOGENIC DIET:

The ketogenic diet is a special high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that helps to control seizures in some people with epilepsy.
Doctors usually recommend the ketogenic diet for children whose seizures have not responded to several different seizure medicines.
The typical ketogenic diet, called the "long-chain triglyceride diet," provides 3 to 4 grams of fat for every 1 gram of carbohydrate and protein.
Several studies have shown that the ketogenic diet does reduce or prevent seizures in many children whose seizures could not be controlled by medications.

Hello lybrate-user, Thank you for your question. Right side sensory symptoms could be due to stroke (vascular), migraines, multiple sclerosis or somatization (due to stress). If you are relatively healthy and 22 years old then stroke is less likely. If your symptoms are present all the time then I would get MRI brain to rule out any structural cause such as tumor or infection causing the symptoms. MRI brain will also help to rule out stroke, and multiple sclerosis. If you are having headaches during the numbness then it is likely migraine with aura. Please feel free to ask any questions. Take care.
