Top 6 Cure Method for Epilepsy

There are alternatives to medication (or surgery) for the treatment of epilepsy. Many of these can be used safely alongside conventional medications. Some may be useful in preventing a single seizure from developing into a recurring one.
* Acupuncture. Only small trials have been carried out and show benefits with this treatment. In one involving eight children, the use of the standard acupoints indicated for epilepsy, along with a selection of other points relevant to the individual patient and applied within 10 minutes of the seizure, was found to be effective . Other evidence, published on the Internet, also suggests that acupuncture may help in some cases .
* Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Anecdotally, this form of oxygen therapy, in which patients breathe pure oxygen in a chamber with a higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure, is reported to have had some good results in treating epilepsy, though good-quality research is lacking. It has been used successfully in other areas such as stroke rehabilitation and traumatic brain injury.
* Nutrition. Common nutritional deficiencies associated with epilepsy include manganese, zinc and magnesium. It may be worth a full nutritional analysis to determine if you are suffering from these deficiencies. Other nutrients may also be helpful. Epileptics may be deficient in vitamin E and selenium - both can significantly lower seizure rates . It is essential that anyone taking AEDs be aware that they can deplete important nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin D and calcium. Adequate supplementation with nutrients that are likely to be depleted should be considered.
* Try a ketogenic diet. A high-fat, low-protein and low-carbohydrate diet has a long history in the control of seizure activity . One of the benefits of such a diet is that it counterbalances the tendency of epileptics towards alkalinity whereas acidification is believed to help normalise nerve conductivity, irritability and membrane permeability.
* Environmental considerations. Go organic. Common pesticides such as dieldrin, lindane and the pyrethroids interfere with the electrical activity of the brain and promote convulsions in susceptible individuals by binding with benzodiazepine receptors. Similarly, toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminium can induce seizures by disrupting nerve function .

* Homoeopathy. A number of homoeopathic remedies available address many forms of epileptic attack. Consult a specialist homoeopath for an all-embracing remedy that will treat you constitutionally.
