scullcap for seizures during cleanses?

June 28, 2006

I stopped eating processed food and all the bad 'whites' and stopped

coffee and am careful about the alkalide foods etc. My energy level

and ability to think clear has really improved. I am sure from this

experiment that I am no doubt full of candida and probably have several

pounds extra (yuck ) in my colon - including parasites of course. My

problem is that something has also started my grand mal seizures up

again.

I refuse to go back on any medico 'cure' which controls the seizures at

the expense of my health and life. I am currently taking scullcap for

the seizures.

Will it work to begin all the cleanses - every one - while taking

scullcap?

If I allow myself to have the seizures I will have several grand mals a

day and could easily bite off my tongue. Not a pretty picture and very

painful! The more I allow my brain to seizure - the more difficult it

is to stop the cycle.

I am willing to try another herb to control the seizures if say lobelia

would be better. Haven't tried lobelia but this would be the time to

test its effectiveness.

A bit of background - I had my first seizure after hitting the back of

my head when I was 26 years old. I don't have them very often, but

they are bad and I have them back to back until after I control them

with herbs for a while. I don't know what actually triggers them -

thought it was after a period of high stress has passed - but not sure

now.

Anyway, I really want to do all the cleanses and eventually be seizure

free. What are your thoughts??? Any hope for me?

Monica, scullcap is a mild sedative and it makes sense that it would help prevent seizures. If it works, it is much better than the meds you would get from a physician (depakote aka phenatoin, has some strange side effects. It causes your gums to recede among other things). If you are on a cleanse, try making scullcap tea instead of taking it in capsules (word of warning: Unless stated on the container, many capsules that hold herbs are gelatin based).narrowguager <dbgrubb wrote: I stopped eating processed food and all the bad 'whites' and stopped

Dear Monica,

Lobelia is very helpful for these.

Make sure it is a quality Lobelia.

Love,

Dear Monica I will tell you what I have dome for my son. First any cleanse of course will do nothing but get you to the finish line faster afast would get you there even faster. What has worked by far the best is Dr Hulda Clarkes parasite program www.curezone.com before we started doing the parasite program he had problems with his head evry 3 weeks, like clockwork (Headache or some sort of mini seizure) I was trying everthing and someone on this gro9up mention parasites they rehatch every 3 weeks, made sense we did Dr Hulda Clarkes 18 day program with those 3 different herbs and toward the end of the 18 days he a grand Mal that he never had before so I took it as it was killing off the Big Kahuna, once we were done we continued once a week with black walnut now 6 months later he had a headache last month and just had another seizure last week, so back on the parasite program and when I read the

instrution again we were suppose to still use all 3 herbs every week as maintance, if I would followed direction more carefully we probally wouldnt have to be repeating it again. But to sum up my story do the cleanses and I cant say enough about the TBC, you would not regret it. My sons seizure also started to after getting hit in the head, it always takes several things to make one thing happen. Gina" . Have a Happy and Healthy Day, Gina Kopera
