Cure For Epilepsy

        I KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN EPILEPTIC FOR 25 YEARS. SHE'S BEEN TO HOSPITALS IN LAGOS,ABUJA,IBADAN AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS FOR TREATMENT, YET NO CURE WAS FOUND. RECENTLY SHE WENT TO NEW DELHI,INDIA FOR A BRAIN SURGERY BUT UNFORTUNATELY, SHE IS STILL SICK.
  WHAT CAN THE DOCTORS IN THE HOUSE ADVICE?. PRESENTLY SHE IS SEEING A CONSULTANT IN LUTH AND STILL KEEPS IN TOUCH WITH HER DOCTOR IN INDIA.
   SHE'S TAKEN DRUGS LIKE TEGRETOL,PHENOBABITONE ETC.              [color=#990000]
        PLEASE, ONLY PROFESIONALS SHOULD REPOND TO THIS ENTRY COS IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE.
                                              THANK YOU

i think science is yet to come out with a total cure to epilepsy BUT it can be managed and controlled with the right drugs and diet.
lots of herbal doctors claim to be able to cure it BUT am yet to see a living testimony so   
prayers too can help.nothing is impossible with God.he heals and restores.

well, am really sorry about the situation, i wouldnt know the type of family the person is from, God is powerful and can do all things, there was  a situation like this i witnessed, the person was taken to YEMKEM international in lagos, through herbs the person was treated, and till date, there has been nothing of such, am very serious about this. if the person can go, i am serious he/she would be healed, and the person should put his/her trust in God.
it is well.

i heard this also.
DIETING:let him/her be placed on a diet of mostly friuts,whole grians,vegetablesa and everything that contains magnesuim  and B6.he should also avoid intake of greasy foods,suagr and sugary foods,coffee and over eating esp before bed.

GRAPE FRUITS:the juice also helps.he should take it as often as he can.

HERBS:herbs like valerian,brahim booti are also said to help.

goodluck

I would want the moderator to have a second look at this thread as it may not serve the intended purpose. The intention of the originator is not really clear. Was he looking for some alternative to western treatment for epilepsy? If that were to be the case, then the thread is in order.  Various "doctors" are bringing numerous suggestions, some so dangerous for such a serious ailment!

If the originator wanted a sincere advise, then this thread may not serve the purpose. Reason is simply that to date, there has not been a recorded cure for epilepsy. Of course, it is possible to control with medications, however, instances have been recorded of "status epilepticus" which have proved problematic to manage and could be fatal. It does not appear as if the case highlighted is status, but that of a badly controlled epilepsy. Has the sufferer been compliant with prescribed medications? This is of paramount importance. Or has he been running from pillar to post in search of magical cure? To me, it appears the latter seems to be the case. The sufferer should contact neurologists at any of the Nigerian Teaching Hospitals. There are many anti-epileptic drugs to choose from. Naturally, he would also be counselled on how to identify and avoid possible triggers and advised on life style modifications. As per possible aetiologies, there are many - genetics, birth complications, head injuries, repeated asphyxia in childhood, etc. My best advise is, stop looking for a non-existent cure but seek for effective control medically. There is no need to advertise a non-tested path like Yetkem in a forum like this. It is not right and unhelpful to the sufferer. I can understand the distress faced by this person but the solution to his problem is having the right orientation. May God provide healing and succour!
