I would loe to know the hrbs used. cannabis?
Thanks for all the recommendations, I am most interested in getting a cure and I also believe that herbs could do this. My organism is weak now, I have to get my strength back before I start a new treatment. My medic also prescribed me natural vitamins and now I take chondroitin sulfate it's a supplement that keeps me "functioning". After that I intend to try those herbs.

thanks for your input. so true the need to use caution. just like the meds we use, our m.d.'s prescribe differently for each person, the same it is with herbs and vitamins.

The "cure" for idiopathic epilepsy is "simple"...but not easy. We "simply" have to stop doing to our brain (and its inhabitants) what we are doing to them. There are over two dozen viruses KNOWN to cause seizures in people, many of which are in the Herpes group. Put "virus, seizure" in your search and see what you get. Once a number of these articles have been consumed, then it is easy for the reader to believe that idiopathic epilepsy is likely to be due to a chronic latent virus that causes remitting and relapsing symptoms. Hey, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Some were acquired before birth and others after, including through natural infections and vaccinations with modified live viruses.(Read about epilepsy following childhood MMR vaccines. Errrrh).
But then read about the relationship of epilepsy to celiac disease and other food intolerances. THAT is where my research takes place. That is what my site is all about. I will not go into detail here, but if you want to read about it, go to http://dogtorj.tripod.com/id2.html.
After this, you will see that the "cure" for epilepsy lies in doing enough right...eliminating those things that are driving our nutritionally unhealthy brains...and their inhabitants...crazy. Air pollution also plays a HUGE role. But dogs and humans are responding dramatically to the elimination diet I outline (The GARD).It is currently under investigation by Mayo.
This should make sense. If not, shoot me an Email. My address is all over my Website.
I hope this helps,
John
Lots of interesting thoughts here! Just a word of caution, the research on benefits of many herbs is still limited but luckily research is being done. But beware that just because a substance is an herb or labeled 'natural' doesn't mean it doesn't have side effects! Some of the herbal products and other supplements can be harmful and worsen seizures or other health problems.
Here's a resource for people!
Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Epilepsy, edited by Orrin Devinsky, Steven Schachter, Steven Pacia. Available thru the book store on this site. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is also a great place to look!

You are right about the herbs and things saying "NATURAL". Herbs can affect our medications you have to be very careful with herbs. I am a bit scared to even try them.
But thanks for the web sites

I do believe the key is your diet, vitamins, ... What we put in our bodies reflects how we feel, and look.
I do believe there is a cure if it is helped my vitamins, herbs, foods..I have seen it in myself.

There are causes of seizures that are not epilepsy which could very easily be cured by herbs, vitamins or minerals. This was probably the case here.
