Remember, Marty, that each seizure is the body's attempt to discharge

electricity, often, unsuccessfully. Such was the case with my wife.  Imagine if

you will, a seizure every 25 days or so, followed within the next few days,  by

5-8 post-ictal seizures, for 19 years.  Do the math, and you will realize that

the number of seizures she has endured numbers well over 1000!  Besides the

obvious damage they have done, one other consequence has been a rawness, and an

inability to concentrate.  How could you expect someone who harbors and is

distracted by so much electricity, to be able to focus, concentrate or engage in

any relaxation technique?   Believe me, we tried, but the cumulative sequelae of

the seizures have just been too overwhelming for her to engage in any active

relaxation--at least until recently. 

 

But now that B " H it appears that the seizures have stopped, I am very hopeful

that slowly and gradually the body will naturally discharge the electricity and

simultaneously heal. 

 

Anecdotally, I will tell you that some years ago, she was seen by Dr. John

Upledger, the developer of CranioSacral therapy.  An interesting therapy that

Dr. Upledger suggested was that daily, for an hour, we connect a metal wire to

Chana's leg, and attach it to a ground, to discharge the electricity.  It was

yet another interesting idea, but had little effect.

 

Personally, as a practitioner,  I feel that the most important approach that we

can take when treating a patient, is to thoughtfully attempt to determine the

pathogenesis of the patient's condition, in addition to determining the

differential diagnosis.  By considering all contributing factors, and

by determining its origin, we go back to the root of the problem, and that

knowledge can make all the difference in knowing how to proceed, and with which

appropriate therapy or therapies.  I used to  naively  believe that if I was

good enough at it, that Chinese medicine could resolve any condition.  This in

spite of hearing from my professors, time and time again, that certain

conditions could only be treated early in their onset, and some not at all.  

Yet, my experience has taught me that sometimes, a condition can manifest as

a mineral or vitamin deficiency (eg. peripheral neuropathy can possibly result

from a 

deficiency of Thiamine or B12;   Bone spurs and/or osteoporosis can result from

magnesium deficiency), and may not be successfully treated by acupuncture, moxa,

herbs, diet, Qi gong or tuina.  Yet when using complementary treatments,

the treatment can often be amazingly successful.     

 

Which brings me to my wife, Chana.  Western Biomedicine was unsuccessful in

treating her, as she was pan-allergic to western pharmaceuticals,  and almost

died from a reaction to Lamictal.  Chinese medicine has been helpful in

ameliorating ancillary symptoms, and building her up month to month,  but has

been completely unsuccessful in stopping the seizures.  (you name it we've tried

it, believe me!)  Oh, BTW, in case you're wondering, she has had 5 MRIs in

addition to CTscans, PETscans and EEGs.  No evidence of hot foci or scars(

though the PETscan did pick up a cold focus)  as usually present with seizure

disorders. Recently, a lumbar puncture was performed to rule out the presence of

bacteria, virus or fungus in the cerebral spinal fluid.  Negative. 

But after the LP, our neurologist suggested trying  a new

anti-convulsant, Keppra (Levetiracetam) which promisingly has presented  with

limited side effects.   I immediately  recognized the name as being similar to

the Nootropic (cogniscent enhancing) drug Piracetam, and indeed Keppra is

derived from it.  Anyway, the first month, we used Keppra alone.  Low and

behold, no seizures!  Yet there were 2 unpleasant side effects:  reduced

appetite and asthenia.  Also, though  seizures  did not occur, her

spasms,  irritabililty and lack of focus seemed unchanged.  After a month, we

added Piracetam, and immediately noticed increased focus, mood enhancement  and

less weakness.  We are now playing with the doses, and she continues to take

Chinese herbs and specific nutraceuticals based upon her signs/symptoms.  I am

very hopeful that the long struggle is close to being over.

 

As I mentioned previously, all along, I considered all the various factors that

could have contributed to her condition, in order to determine the

pathogenesis.  I am now absolutely convinced that a series of ECT treatments

given to her to treat post partum depression after the birth of her first

daughter, (from her first husband), left a microscopic lesion, probably in her

temporal lobe, which no scan was able to pick up, and which set in motion the

electrical inbalance that eventually caused the seizures.   In retrospect, this

makes perfect sense to me, as it seems that  the potency of the ECT, was so

intensely damaging  that only a Western pharmaceutical has been able to stop the

pattern.

 

As time goes on, I suspect her tremor, spasm and irritability will dissipate, as

the electricity is slowly discharged.  As this happens, Chinese medicine and

other accompanying therapies will be more effective, in my opinion.  But it will

take time and patience. 

 

I will keep you informed as to her progress.

Yehuda:

 

Was your wife able to master the method?

 

One problem is the diffculty in learning. The other, like any form of

Qigong or meditation, is the continual practice.

 

My idea is that no learning is required and to practice you just relax and

listen to the recording.

Yehuda,

Thank you for the update and your heart-felt diary,

which continues to inspire many.

I'm sure that your wife's plight has made you a deep healer,

so she is your teacher, as well as beloved patient.

 

There is a story about a sick man who comes to a woman's house.

She was the only one in the village who took the stranger in.

Every night, she would get a dream about an herb growing in the forest

and the next day she would pick it and administer it for the sick man.

He would get better and then a new illness would arise.

She would have another dream and pick another herb.

 

Several years passed and finally the man was whole without illness.

He walked into the forest, looked back and turned into a ....bear.

 

The bear was teaching the village woman with a pure heart

how to use the herbs in the forest.

He was her teacher and she was his healer.

 

Much respect,

K

I share the frustration with you. My husband has focal epilepsy aka Jacksonian

Epilepsy. He has constant continuous seizures. The seizures are throughout his

body and finds them both annoying and embarrassing. Many people think he has

hiccups when they see him. They can be more intense at times and have rattled

his whole body from time to time.

 

Over the years, many people have tried many different approaches. Some have

worked but only for a short period of time before the seizures find their way

back.

 

He does suffer from Damp Heat with deficiency in the liver meridian due to

taking a course of Acutaine for his cystic acne. I am wondering if his epilepsy

was not caused by the Acutaine. I will certainly be researching it.

 

Any ideas on how to clear up the side effects of western drugs would be helpful.

Sorry for my computer glitch.

This sent twice without my message.

 

Thanks Kokko, for your story.

 

It reminds me of the magnificent book " The Lost Language of Plants, by

Stephen Harrod Buhner " . We are all connected, if we can but be conscious.

 

with love,
