It's an interesting dialog in the past few days from those who use herbs. I know nothing about them nor what kind would apply. The real question I would like to ask is are there any foods that are good to eat that help our brains balance the chemicals in them with electrical activity? I've asked my doctor and he usually tells me there is no relationship to the food we eat and seizure control but I can't believe that, there has to be.
Does anyone have ideas if certain vegetables or other food products help strengthen our minds and work to help reduce the activity that initiates sz's? Or looking at it from a different perspective, are there any foods that we should avoid eating that are counterproductive to the medications we take or starve our brains of the nutrients it needs?

Yes, you definitely want to be educated when working with anything. I have studied for many years to obtain the level of confidence that I have using herbs and other modalities. This approach is not for everyone, but for me it is the only choice I have and it has been a really great experience. My doctor also is supportive. I don't know as I said, about mixing the two protocols. I don't mess around with anything, when it comes to my health, and I also try to educate myself as much as possible and not even rely on my doctor to know it all. They are too busy, and I want to be in charge of my own health care and direction.
I appreciate your concern, and of course it is valid because dealing with the brain and seizures is a delicate thing.
Love,
jnanda
