Hi Lovinder

Here are some methods to heal your issue.

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.

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.

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.

Note: Sometimes essential fatty acids aggravate symptoms, so consult with a nutritional expert to determine if this is the case.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of epilepsy: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Biofeedback Training, Bodywork, Chiropractic, Craniosacral Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Holistic Dentistry, Hypnotherapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Meditation, Mind/Body Medicine, Naturopathic Medicine, Osteopathy, Reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Yoga

Best of health to you

There are different types of epilepsy, and how it can be treated depends very much on what type it is and how severe it is as well. I have what is called 'atypical epilepsy', which in my case means that although I do not have major seizures I can have difficulty with memory, headaches, sudden changes of mood, feelings of dizziness and generally feeling 'sick', and some other less important effects. I am also badly affected by strobe-like lighting and I must try and avoid it.

In my case, I have a pretty normal diet and I do not use any special holistic approach. Holistic treatments may work for some, of course, but I just take carbamazepine (300 mg), one tablet morning and night, and this helps to stabilize my brain chemistry and stops nearly all of my symptoms from getting to the point where life becomes a misery.

Before I was diagnosed life was pretty awful, but now,with my medication and a sensible and moderate approach to eating, avoiding stress and getting enough rest, I am able to cope day to day like anyone else.

If you need more specific advice it is best to consult a neurologist first. Treatment must be based on having an accurate diagnosis. But these days, many people with epilepsy live pretty normal lives after they have had the right treatment.

I wish you well,

Yes and no. Yes if it is 2ry to some other process or if is a focus which can be suppressed esasily. No if it associated with other neuro problems. I general, if the patient has been fit fre on medication for 3-5 yrs the drug is usually withdrawn and the pt kept under observation for recurrence. EEG is useful in diagnosis but does not help to decide about drug stopping

have you gone to Mayo Clinic yet? I went there myself when I was about 14 and unfortunately they couldn't get me on the right meds either and after being on the wrong meds for nearly 14 years I finally just quite taken them, I have gotten lucky and only had a few grand mal seizures when I was in my teens but I still have petite mal seizures from time to time but more so only when I am under stress and don't get enough sleep, but as far as your health goes continue trying to see different specialists if you can and keep trying, I got lucky I guess, for the most part I just grew out of mine

A seizure is an abnormal, unregulated electrical discharge that occurs within the brain's cortical gray matter and transiently interrupts normal brain function. A seizure typically produces altered awareness, abnormal sensations, involuntary movements, or convulsions. Consult a Neurologist.

A Neurologist is the best bet. There are drugs that weep it under control. Please see a doctor, a specialist.
