Epilepsy - a drug free solution

Another interesting e-mail received. The following is an article mailed to Sheila.
The link is on the title. The site linked to appears to be under construction still but I was able to find some interesting stuff related to ADD etc.

Epilepsy and Biofeedback.

There's a relatively new kid on the block of epilepsy. EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) training of raising SMR and lowering Theta has long been proven to be very effective in removing all symptoms of all types of epilepsy. HemoEncephaloGraph (HEG) that works with EEG to make this training even more effective and faster.
The very effective EEG biofeedback uses the Sterman protocol, and it's used in the biofeedback units leased by BHT. Dr Von Hilsheimer, one of the pioneers of this brain training, is now using this protocol exclusively in his practice. He has even stated that anyone who doesn't use it is guilty of malpractice. It is the best method found today, and by leasing the biofeedback unit, it can be afforded by mid income families, and done at home.

Despite what some clinicians say about "the dangers of non-trained people doing this", it's actually quite simple to learn and use. There is NO DANGER AT ALL. There are no cases where any real harm has ever been done with biofeedback. The clinicians have a vested interest in believing this nonsense (50-150 a 1/2 hour session).

HEG biofeedback (Neurofeedback) is relatively new, and Dr Hershel Toomim has done extensive research on it's use with epilepsy and ADD/ADHD types. Others have found that using HEG biofeedback first, and then doing the Sterman method can shorten overall brain training for all forms of mental problems.

Some Orthomolecular Tips on Epilepsy That May Help

In my previous orthomolecular practice, I used L-Taurine in combination with zinc, and that helped many epileptics remain free of seizures. The dosages can be as high as needed of L-Taurine as it is just an amino acid (protein), and cannot be "overdosed" (can you overdose on beef? - maybe). Amounts of 3000 per day and even higher have been used, although the usual starting point is 1000 or so. The zinc is usually in doses of 15-30 mg per day.
In addition, some epilepsy has been traced to mineral toxicity - mostly mercury. A hair analysis may confirm that this is at least part of the problem. Research lately has pointed to the dangers of the vaccinations given to babies that actually contain mercury. This has apparently caused both autism and epilepsy as well as ADD/ADHD.

Some others have found help in giving large B-complex along with additional B6 and magnesium. Also give additional calcium to balance the magnesium to some extent.

Others have found digestive enzymes useful in this as well.

Allergy/sensitivity testing has also helped many. For a free way to do basic testing see Allergy Testing

The first time I went into the site I got somewhere but since then it just comes up with a page saying 'Catch you later'. Maybe you will have better luck.
