Re: [epilepsy] Re: Alternative Medication for Seizures

This doctor also has to know what medication you are on and what condition you have and the whole bit.

Then find a doctor who knows about nutrition. An Orthomolecular doctor is an MD who has also learned about
nutrition and treats his/her patient using both. I posted some info about how to find an Orthomolecular doctor
yesterday I think.......

But if you love having seizures and taking drugs, you don't need to do anything, do you. It is very safe to
just accept the status quo...

Good luck.
