Hi Hot Mama

Here are some answers that will help. Also, be sure to do a colon and liver cleanse to clean out the toxins in the body.

Cause
Nutrient deficiencies, thyroid disorders, and stress can all contribute to epileptic seizures and must be screened for and addressed as part of a comprehensive treatment approach. Proper bowel movements two to three times a day are also important. If necessary, consider a bowel cleanse to restore healthy bowel function.

Pioneering holistic dentist Hal Huggins, D.D.S., has noted the improvement, and in some cases the complete disappearance of epilepsy symptoms after removing toxic dental amalgams. If you have such amalgams in your mouth, consider having them replaced by someone properly trained in Holistic Dentistry.

Caution: If the individual's seizure does not stop within 5-10 minutes, seek immediate medical assistance. At the same time, be sure not to over-drug the patient, as medical drugs can actually trigger epilepsy due to their potential side effects.

Natural Cures

Diet: Individuals affected by epilepsy should eat a low-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, and eliminate fried foods, salt, sugar, meat, milk, and alcohol. For long-term care, they should follow a hypoglycemic diet (see Hypoglycemia), being sure to avoid artificial sweeteners, excessive refined carbohydrates, and caffeine. For epilepsy accompanied by sluggish bowels or constipation, also ensure that the diet is rich with fibrous foods.

Emergency Techniques You Can Use When Someone Is Having A Seizure: Remain calm and move sharp objects away from the affected individual. Keep him or her from putting anything in the mouth, and loosen his or her clothing. If possible, put the person on the floor or bed and stay at the individual's side until the episode runs its course.

Herbs: For petit mal epilepsy, take one teaspoon of skullcap tincture three times a day.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. The section Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.

Juice Therapy: Drink a combination of celery, carrot, and lettuce juice three times a day.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help minimize symptoms of epilepsy: L-taurine and L-tyrosine amino acids (500 mg three times daily) along with an amino acid blend (two times daily); vitamin B complex and vitamins B3 (niacin), B5, B6 and B12; calcium; choline (start with 4 g daily and increase to 10-12 g within three months); dimethyl glycine (100 mg two times daily); magnesium; manganese; and zinc. Vitamin B complex injected intramuscularly may also be helpful.

Best of health to both of you.

Cheers

Answer 2

That is a well documented type of epilepsy. However I would not consider it "mild". I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but most people who have it end up wearing helmets because the seizures come very unexpectedly and frequently. Check those websites and find a specialist from a reputable hospital.

The best thing to do is to consult your Family Practitioner about this... BUT if you wake up several times in the night...you didn't really describe anything that was seizure like besides the headaches. Usually patients who describe this have sleep apnea of some sort where during sleep their tongue falls back into their throat and impairs oxygenation. Then they'll suddenly wake up, tongue fixes itself when person is conscious, go back to sleep...do it again, several times per night. Low oxygen levels could cause headaches too. But that's just one possibility. The need to take a benadryl before bed doesn't really fit that idea though. So definitely consult a medical professional about it.

my cousin has a mild epilepsy and in second grade had seizures but is now on meds and hasn't had a seizure since. The doctor says that she can not get off the meds because once they tried and she started having seizures again. don't get off the meds.

Answer 5

You might want to talk to your brothers doctor about the different approaches that you could try within your home. You might also want to move and object that your brother can hurt himself around the house.
