Epilepsy

Natural alternative treatment, healing and cure for epilepsy

The information in this page about epilepsy, natural medicine, treatment and cure is NOT a sales pitch for any drug, supplement, herbal formula or even an alleged magic potion from an exotic faraway land.

Food is always best natural treatment and cure

Epilepsy patients are of all ages. But it is most common in children and young adults. Many have suffered severe trauma or head injury in their past, though many do not remember these traumas or injuries. Epilepsy patients suffer from seizures that vary in duration, frequency and associated symptoms. Most epilepsy seizures last a few seconds. It is noteworthy that many epilepsy patients consume a lot of eggs, especially fried eggs.

Traditional medication for epilepsy works as long as the epilepsy patient is on that medication. Most epilepsy patients do not have seizures as long as they are taking their prescribed medication. If for some reason an epilepsy patient stops medication, the epilepsy seizures return. Therefore, epilepsy medication can not be considered a cure.

Sir James Mackenzie interests had turned to the study of the normal in human beings and how to maintain it. He hoped to answer the compelling question: What were the bad habits that led to disease? He arrived at three conclusions:

1. Diseases are the result of long-developing processes which begin early in life and finally lead to saturation of the body with toxins.

2. Improper eating, living and thinking habits are the prime cause of this degeneration.

3. The same type of toxin when localized in a joint causes arthritis; when localized in the liver, hepatitis; in the kidneys, nephritis; in the skin, dermatitis; in the pancreas, diabetes; in the brain, insanity.

Dr. Henry Bieler, MD

Food is best medicine for epilepsy patients. All epilepsy patients stop having seizures after a few weeks of following the prescribed diet. The exact recovery time varies from one epilepsy patient to another, depending on age and epilepsy seizures frequency prior to starting the prescribed diet. They are able to do away with their epilepsy medication eventually. They normally gradually decrease the dosage until they are off epilepsy medication completely and they become seizure-free naturally.

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure epilepsy you do not have to eat Japanese foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what eating and living habits have led you to develop epilepsy. Then, macrobiotic principles will help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure epilepsy.

Read If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods?

If you are an epilepsy patient and tried macrobiotics (particularly the #7 diet) but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read: The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

It is true that food is best medicine for Epilepsy. But some foods help an epilepsy patient and some make the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the natural treatment of epilepsy.

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for epilepsy there is really no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can have adverse side effects on an epilepsy patient when taken randomly or in large doses. However, if they are desired, only natural food-based supplements should be selected and taken in moderate amounts. And beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.

This is not a sales pitch for an expensive herbal concoction or an exotic supplement

Principles explained above are the laws of nature, and illness is simply the cumulative result of violating these laws. Even Hippocrates said: Thy food shall be thy remedy. It is also mentioned in the Chinese book of internal medicine: What can not be cured with medicine, can only be cured with food. Food really is your best medicine if the illness is Epilepsy or almost anything else.
