I have had seizures since I was 16 years old, and now I am 54. I believe that medications have affected me in many ways besides memory problems, I have a lot of anxiety and paranoia.

I am not looking for a cure. I am looking for an alternative to the medication that I take. A different one or the ones that the Neurologist suggested are kind of the same kind.

However, in other cases, it can not only help the epileptic to reach a seizure free state, but it can ruin marriages and relationships with your children or parents. I know this because I have friends who were/are on this site that shared this with me when they went into using it as a wonder cure. The key thing to remember is that there is NO CURE for epilepsy. Any of the success stories to date are in reaching a long-term seizure-free state by whichever means that works.
