K: Hemp Oil / CBD is the most powerful and effective remedy for seizers or brain related disorders. You will likely find it sold over-the-counter in health food shops or maybe even cafe's throughout Germany.Replied by Rsw (Uniontown, Oh) on 12/21/2014
Kaykinkel,
Something your husband could do that may make a big difference is look into the ketogenic diet for epilepsy. You can look into The Charlie Foundation and other sites that describe the diet, first discovered at Johns Hopkins Hospital for children with epilepsy, it is now recognized as effective for many adults as well for controlling or eliminating seizures. Best wishes.

The diet you are suggesting is not an option for my husband. He grew up with a certain eating disorder that only allows him to consume certain foods, and I mean very few. It has to do with the consistency of the food when it hits his tongue, he has to immediately spit it out, he can't chew or swallow it. He only eats..ellios pizza, bacon (must be Kunzlers), cheese (must be clearfield), homemade french fries, butter, potato rolls (must be martin's), butter popcorn, chocolate (basically anything chocolate but with nothing else but chocolate), he does drink two tall glasses of ovaltine with milk everyday. That is about what his diet consists of. He is on prenatal vitamins (sounds funny but his family doctor suggested it because of his eating habits). I want to try him on epsolm salt but all the suggestions state to put it in orange juice and well yeah he won't drink orange juice so have to do some more research to see if he can mix it with something else.Replied by Afs (Whiting, NJ) on 12/22/2014
Something to consider for your husband is a device called a VNS Device; consult the Neurologist 1st! This is a device used to suppress any Oncoming Seizures. Good to tell him if considering this ave. Consult YOUR.Neurologist!Replied by Timh (Ky) on 12/23/2014
K: One potential problem is food additives. Cured meats like bacon, pepperoni, and sausage usually contain high levels of Nitrosamine Compounds that have very negative effects on the brain and thereby increasing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Nitrosamines are also known to increase cancer rates. For more on Nitrosamines click here: http://www.raysahelian.com/nitrosamine.html Since there is the presence of an eating disorder, instead of first eliminating these foods, try 1grm Vit-C 30 min prior to meal and 1 grm 2-3 hrs fallowing meal, as Vit-C directly reduces Nitrosamine to harmless. If the seizers stop as a result of taking Vit-C then you know that's the problem, however it is very important to reduce the unhealthy pork meat and increase healthy meat like Salmon, Mackerel, and Sardines. Fish, Flax, and Krill Oil supplements are also an option and are all beneficial to brain health.
As for the Epsom Salt, put about 1/4 cup in hot water for foot-bath and soak for 30 min. before retiring.
The Chinese Scullcap herb is also effective in reducing seizers.
