Seeking Remedies to Restore Health After Taking Epilepsy Meds

Posted By Karl (Toronto) on 10/15/2016

hi I found your site when I was searching for natural cures for epilepsy because I myself took prescription drugs like epival dylantin and tegritol to name a few I remember for my seizures from age 7 until age 18 then I decided to stop then other health problems began when I was 21 poor bowel movements low energy poor memory etc... I couldnt go to the toilet sometimes for 3 4 and 5 days and more until I started taking probiotics then my bowels improved anything else I can take to restore my health?

Hi Karl,

At age 18 you may have found Magnesium (or a product on the market which contained magnesium) greatly helpful to limiting your seizures. Perhaps you were taking magnesium (or the product containing it) until you turned 21; then you experienced your bowel-troubles. Magnesium generally leads to more elimination/movements, and taking that element for years would have allowed your body to adjust to it and depend upon it. Perhaps you then stopped the magnesium (or the product), having found another remedy. This could be the culprit to your current gut-malady.

I'm just 'throwing' that theory 'out there'.

Due to the variety of symptoms you cited, I more suspect that your current situation is due to a candida over-growth within your body. Go to Amazon and order some D-Limone capsules. D-limonene is derived from the zest of lime and/or other citrus peel. Read the reviews wherein experiences and advice is offered. If I were experiencing your symptoms then I would take a D-limone capsule once or twice per day, typically around the meal or before bedtime. D-Limonene will right your gut and also kill fungus and mold within your bloodstream.

Kerosene and gum spirits of turpentine are two other agents that will perform in the same manner. Typically you take a TSP of Kerosene, or a half-TSP of turps. Having 'tested' all three agents myself, I will relate that Kerosene tastes better than turps or limonene; however, the limonene being in capsules eliminates the tongue-exposure.

While researching keto diet I came across blogs and youtube information about good oil being used by parents in place of pharmaceuticals to successfully treat children with epilepsy. Check it out.

HI U KARL,,,,,,,,, I too was prescribed dilation from age 30 until age 45, for anxiety attacks. What it did for me was to cause osteoporosis and my hips are totally wasted away. That is the reason a simple fall a few years ago crushed my T 12 vertebrae and has made my life a lot more interesting.

I would say you need to have a test to see if that same side effect got to you. It takes 7 years to replace bone and you need to study how to do this naturally and not take drugs that will just make it worse.

Don't know what other issues this drug has caused, but you are right on the money to take a good probiotic to get your immune system up to speed. Suggest you read Hulda Clark and do all her body cleanses as your first step.

Wish you well. =====ORH=====
