Corinna,
Do you have Dr. Oz on Fox where you live? Martha Stewart also is pushing health.
Dr. Oz is a surgical heart Dr. who also has his own show. I think he is good. He
decided to try to have people eat differently so that not so many of us are landing
on his operating table.
Personally -- I won't go without meds until my tests say my brain waves
say I don't have EP. But I am eating more like my dad . He was 60 years
ahead of his time. He farmed his 40 acre farm organically. He was considered
strange then but I just started eating more vegetable and fruits this last year.

Subject: [epilepsy] I feel finally I have found cyber brothers and sisters--also question re diets
Thanks, unseen friends, for all the genuine concern you are showing for me. I am on 250 mg DIvalproex at 9 am, 250 mg at 3 pm on alternate days and 500 mg again at 9 pm. Sz --esp SPS still occur about twice weekly but since I live the life of a retiree on Soc Security Disability (I am 60) and also have arthritis I am home a great deal so just "sit out" the sz. I have just finished P> Murphy's TREATING EPILEPSY NATURALLY and have eliminated the excitotoxins nicotine and caffeine totally as of 2 wees ago--also Coca Colas, and any product containing the artificial sweetener aspartame. This has reduced the frequency of sz from 4-5 a week to 2 a week.
Is any one here on a hypoglycemic diet? I read that may help too but someone from a "live" Ep support group which meets every month says "beware of food fads"--or is such diet valid after all? Please give me feedback on this issue Corinna
