Question
Hi Brenda,

I am interested in hearing more about how you stopped having seizures.  I have been a fan of alternative medicine for several years and almost completely turned my back on mainstream medicine.  But that is another story...

I have 2 friends who are epileptics and they have been on every drug imaginable but the seizures still continue.  I have wanted to help them for a long time but I was not aware of anything that would specifically help this condition.  

So could you please fill me in on how you did it ?  What did you use, what treatments did you try, and how long did it take you to see the benefits from it ?  

Thanks,
Gary in WV

Hi Gary, you asked--"COULD YOU PLEASE FILL ME IN ON HOW YOU DID IT ? WHAT DID YOU USE, WHAT TREATMENTS DID YOU TRY, AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO SEE THE BENEFITS FROM IT?"

Well my story began when I developed reoccuring corneal ulcers, I suffered for 2 years only to be told at the end by the hospital "there was nothing they could do, it was genetic" in other words, they didnt have a clue, they said I was going blind and each seizure was hurrying the process up.

I had heard of this place called the, Tollhouse Therapy Clinic in Braco, Stirling in Scotland, where you are tested on a machine and it can tell you immediately not only what the problem is, but when it started and why, it is called "Vegatesting"

Well I was skeptical but had nothing to lose, so I went along and right after the test the Dr. told me the reason I have the problem with my eyes is lack of Vitamin B. the tablets I was taking for Epilepsy were depleteing the vitamins in my body, she recommended I take 1 Vitamin B. Complex daily & 1 Multivitamin+ mineral tablet daily.

I asked "how long will these take to work" and she said "in under a week" I left unconvinced but did as she said anyway, within 3 days of taking the tablets the pain I had had for 2 years left my eyes and has never returned, and on top of that I have now been told by my optician, "that not only has the Vitamin B. corrected the problem I had with my eyes, I now have 20/20 vision"

And what of my seizures? well as an added bonus I have never taken another seizure from that day till this, (8 years past in May). I hasten to add I am still taking my prescribed tablets for epilepsy "Epanutin" but they alone had not stopped me taking seizures, I had been taking at least once a month BEFORE the vitamins, since taking the vitamins NO SEIZURES.

I have just read recently about a study they did with Multivitamins and people with HIV ,all the ones given 1 Multivitamin a day did not progress to full blown Aids, all those given a sudeo drug did.


Oh yes and make sure your friends get their tablets from a Health Food store as the ones Chemists sell are rubbish.

All the best
Brenda
