Lack of special supplies is responsible for severe seizures

A special formula that helps keep severe epileptic seizures at bay for a little Saskatoon girl - is in very short supply.

Michelle Linklater's daughter suffers from a severe form of epilepsy that has proven to be drug resistant and is being treated through diet with a special high fat formula called KetoCal.

Linklater found out last Friday that there is a shortage of the product through the Canadian supplier. Due to Health Canada regulations the formula from a U-S supplier, with labels that are not in French and English, can neither be shipped across the border by the American supplier nor can it be mailed to an American address and brought across the border.

Linklater only has enough food to feed her daughter one more time - lunch time today
