basil,
My first words are loose the doubt of not finding anyone like that in Texas. Why you as? Because you just did. ME!
I've had three know seizures over the past 18 years, but have gone through many different combinations of just the medications for 10 years. I cannot go through any surgery because it may cause more problems of loosing my speaking abilities. I will in no way do the VNS, nor the still in clinical RNS (Responsive Neurostimulator). And really not interested in the Ketogenic diet because I'm an adult and need to keep my cholesterol down.
So with where I'm at healthwise, I looked in a different direction, found another collection of information pertaining to a healthy diet, olive oil and castor oil. And from when I started working with this "Epilepsy Treatment Plan" in January this year, the frequency volume and strength of my still un-controlled simple partial seizures have decreased, along with my cholesterol being lowered too.
I posted alot about what I'm talking about on one thread titled "Epilepsy Treatment Plan" under my previous user name of 'batman'. Hopefully this website link below will get you to it.

I'm already think about traveling back out east to Virginia Beach, VA, to go through another week of the spa package #4, sometime in the fall this year. If you're interested in more about what I'm doing with this treatment plan and or connecting with one another in Texas, place let me know. My addy is bruce903@hotmail.com. Please add either of the words epilepsy or seizure in the subject line so I know it won't be junkmail.
BTW, I live in central Texas, just south of Austin.
