Seizure, Epileptic Drugs No longer working? 4 Places to begin Healing Your Brain
In the traditional medical method of seizures and epilepsy, the foundation from the approach is anti-epileptic drug therapy (AED). This foundation is put into by nuclear physics or even the use of a vagal nerve stimulator implanted in the chest. That's pretty much the armamentarium. And virtually disappointing whenever you look at precisely how effective these approaches are. However they all leave one important thing out.
No standard traditional medical approaches actually do anything to heal the brain. Remember that unhealthy cognitive abilities (I give them a call "sick neurons") are where the issues with migraines and epilepsy start. Medications to manage seizures merely suppress the communication between your sick neuron or groups of neurons and also the neighboring cells. This is why not many epileptics are able to get off their meds even years or decades later--because the problem is not fixed.
In just about 30% of the time does the first drug tried to control seizures actually work. When that first one fails, these guys tried. And another, and the other. When single drugs do not work, mixtures of drugs are used. However, the realm beyond the use of just one drug is mere guesswork and never "medical science." (Remember this whenever your neurologist says this really is no research to support Coenzyme Q10 for seizures...).
In the event you think that your neurologist differs and somehow has access to research unavailable elsewhere, take into account that current research into whether the addition of two or more drugs is for refractory seizures (seizures that aren't well controlled with medications) finds that only a single combination ( lamotrigine and valproate) was more effective than only using one drug. Using three drugs was not effective.
So what are the alternatives? Clearly, when one drug isn't effective, the likelihood of another drug assisting to control the seizures is very small. When dealing with this situation, and hopefully well before, adding natural methods to heal the mind are critical. The list is long, but you can begin with some easy steps.
1) The first is to start to eliminate chemicals out of your life. The brain is an extremely sensitive organ and the massive amount of chemicals we are exposed to every day does absolutely nothing to support good brain health.
a) Never buy anything without reading the label. Even better, buy foods that do not have 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 artificial sweeteners like the plague. e) Examine sources of chemical exposures in your life and lower whenever possible. Including -plastic water bottles and food storage containers -cosmetic and beauty products (to include hair dye) -household cleaning products, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers -all exposure to 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 ascorbic acid, e vitamin (as mixed tocopherols), CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid
3) Being active is NOT an option; it's required for a proper brain.
4) Consider an elmination or ketogenic diet
This list is simply the short list of things that can be done to heal and protect your brain. As you can tell, there isn't any shortage of changes that you can make. The limitation to ONLY use medication to deal with seizures borders on malpractice. Every recommendation above is well founded on medical research (or don't let say "at least" as well founded as medication usage).
Some of these changes are pretty straight forward, some are much more intrusive to your current lifestyle. But let's be honest...it's your brain. Is it not worth it?
