does anyone here suffer from epilepsy,and if so what treatment has worked the best for you?

Answer 1

Hi Dag

Here are some ideas to help you heal.

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.

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

Answer 2

Epilepsy can be related to a misalignment in your spine. There is a vertebrae that can be putting stress on the nerve that can cause epilepsy. We had a little girl that was coming to our office because of her seizures. She was having minor ones over 100 times a day. When she was under regular care at our chiropractic office she was down to less than 5 a week.

Depending on what kind of epilepsy you have it is going to vary and it will also vary from person to person...I'm am a stressed induced epileptic....I watched a special on patients with seizures and the results show that when you feel one coming on...then you basically slow and down and talk your mind out of it...i have used this a couple of times and it worked, but sometimes my seizures come on so fast that they are finished before I even know what happened...just a suggestion.

Like Leith C said, most of the so-called "persecution" of Christians (particularly in this forum) is in response to unwelcome preaching -- not really persecution, more like standing up to religious bullying. The worse I usually get is just the rare email from someone trying to convert me. Usually it just leads to some fun, but largely unproductive dialog. I haven't gotten one of those in a while, though. And, one time when I was a young Pagan living at home, I went into the woods behind my house to burn some sage and do a short ritual. Somebody saw me, and called the cops on me, so I had to explain myself to a cop on my front lawn with my parents freaking out in the house. I don't think of that as mistreatment, so much as a misunderstanding. I mean, if you didn't know anything about Paganism or Wicca (and I was Wiccan at the time) and you saw someone in the woods chanting, burning something, and waving a dagger around, what would you think? But, as soon as I explained myself, the cops just rolled their eyes and walked away, with little more than a "burn it at home next time."

Answer 5

I suffer from right polar hemisphere epilepsy. I build eclectic in the right side and it discharges. Doctors say I inhered it from my family. I take 200 mg of topamax 2x a day so I can work.

Answer 6

try using herbs and vitimins- just find a local herbalist and they can help you figure out a "treatment" plan. It's the best- it's all natural.
