Hi Steve, As yet, there is no cure for E. (Excepting the very few types of childhood E which are outgrown) However, today, 3/4 of those with E are completely controlled on meds, plus even a very small % of those with uncontrollable partial E can have operations. At the bottom of this page, to the right, (under 'Listen Live') there is an interesting taped interview about this subject and current US research in this area. hope that helps, ~sol
