Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Moderator's Note- We are not allowed to recommend, prescribe or treat as that is the sole territory of a medical doctor.

And maybe someone here can recommend other places for you to research. Hi. I am new to this site. I have joined other support groups but they do not have the same feelings as I do on alternative treatment. It was a ketogenic website group. No one had any idea what I was talking about when I was explaining the herbs, supplements, and diet. Hopefully I will be able to find more help here. First of all, my daughter is 4 and was diagnosed with epilepsy nearly two years ago. She has progressive gotten worse due to all the meds (7). She now has hundreds of seizures a day, has lost the ability to walk, talk, crawl and even stand. We have recently been seeking forms of alternative treatment. She takes a number of different herbs including Black Cohosh, Arnica, Brain and nerve coctail, virginia snake root and several others. We have also been giving her supplements such as B-Complex, Vit. E, Omega 3, calcium and several others. We are currently testing her for food allergies by eliminating wheat, gluten, lactose, sugar, soy and corn. She usually has hundreds of " head-drops " a day, but she has improved over the last week. We have read a lot of good things about supplements like helping with seizure control or even eliminating them completely. We are looking in to every possibility. The doctors have run out of drugs and are talking brain surgery with a prognosis of mental retardation. I have to do something and find something that works for her. I would love to hear from someone who has been through a similar situation. I could really use some support and advice. The doctors are 'bout useless at this point. I have had to do all my own research via books and the internet. I don't understand why these other less invasive options aren't explained to us. Please help. We are in a desperate situation and just want our daughter back. Miranda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
