Seizure, Epileptic Drugs Not Working? 4 Places to Start Healing Your mind

From the traditional medical approach to seizures and epilepsy, the building blocks from the approach is anti-epileptic drug therapy (AED). This foundation is put into by brain surgery or the use of a vagal nerve stimulator implanted in the chest. That's virtually the armamentarium. And pretty much disappointing whenever you take a look at precisely how effective these approaches are. But they all leave something out.

No standard traditional medical approaches really do anything to heal the brain. Remember that unhealthy brain cells (I give them a call "sick neurons") are in which the problems with migraines and epilepsy start. Medications to manage seizures merely suppress the communication between your sick neuron or groups of neurons and the neighboring cells. This is why not many epileptics are able to get off their meds even years or decades later--because the problem has not been fixed.

In just about 30% of times does the very first drug tried to control seizures actually work. When that first one fails, another is tried. And the other, and the other. When single drugs do not work, combinations of drugs are used. However, the realm beyond the utilization of a single drug is mere guesswork and not "medical science." (Remember this whenever your neurologist says this is no research to aid Coenzyme q10 supplement for seizures...).

Just in case you believe that your neurologist is different and somehow has access to research unavailable elsewhere, consider that current research into whether the addition of two or more drugs is for refractory seizures (seizures that are not well controlled with medications) finds that only a single combination ( lamotrigine and valproate) was more efficient than only using one drug. The use of three drugs wasn't effective.

What exactly are the alternatives? Clearly, when one drug is not effective, the probability of another drug helping to control the seizures is extremely small. When faced with this situation, and hopefully long before, the addition of natural methods to heal the mind are critical. The list is long, but you can begin with some simple steps.

1) The very first is to begin to eliminate chemicals out of your life. The brain is an extremely sensitive organ and also the lots of of chemicals we are subjected to on a daily basis does nothing to support good brain health.

a) Never buy anything without reading the label. Better yet, buy foods that do not need to come with a
label.
b) Do not buy foods which contain ingredients you cannot pronounce without embarrassing yourself
inside a crowd of chemistry students.
c) Switch your shopping from the big commercial supermarkets to smaller, healthier farmer's
markets.
d) Avoid ALL sugar substitutes such as the plague.
e) Examine causes of chemical exposures in your lifetime and reduce when possible. Including
-plastic water bottles and food storage containers
-cosmetic and beauty products (to incorporate hair dye)
-household cleaning products, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers
-all contact with tobacco smoke
-old cushions or any other compounds which are flame resistant
-mattresses made after July 2007
-airborne particles (make use of a room air cleanser).

2) Antioxidant supplements like vitamin C, e vitamin (as mixed tocopherols), CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid

3) Being active is No option; it's required for a proper brain.

4) Consider an elmination or ketogenic diet

This list is simply the narrow your search of stuff that can be achieved to heal and protect your mind. As you can see, there isn't any shortage of changes that you could make. The limitation to ONLY use medication to treat seizures borders on malpractice. Every recommendation above is well founded on scientific research (or should we say "at least" as well founded as medication usage).

Some of these changes are pretty straight forward, some are much more intrusive into your current lifestyle. But let's be honest...it is your brain. Is it not worthwhile?
