Fields Taylor, 3-Year-Old Mute Girl, Miraculously Starts Talking After Cream Cheese Diet

Mum's the word for a 3-year-old girl who, thanks to a diet of cream cheese, gained the ability to speak despite a disease that left her mute from birth.

Fields Taylor, from Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, was born with the incurable genetic disease Glut 1 Deficiency that caused a lack of glucose to flow to her brain. Today, Taylor's diet of four containers of the cream cheese per week gives her a voice. The unique high-fat Ketogenic diet helps her body use fat as an energy source rather than glucose, according to the New York Daily News.

“The amount of Philadelphia she goes through is mad but worth it. It really has been our saving grace. She loves the stuff and piles it on crackers," The Mirror quoted her mother Stevie as saying.

"The first time I heard Fields say 'Mum' it was just wonderful."

Field's parents first noticed something was wrong when she was just 15 weeks old.

“I took her to see the GP when all of a sudden she had a seizure in the waiting room. I was petrified," Stevie Taylor said. "She went really vacant, like she was going into another world."

Doctors originally diagnosed her with epilepsy. A year later they realized she was suffering from the Glut 1.

"I didn't really believe that something so simple as changing her diet could make such a big difference," her mother said.

"It's just fabulous to know that she does have a voice inside her and we can finally communicate."
