After a while he had trouble taking it. I gave him a bittersweet supplement. He tolerated it better. The key with MCT is to have some digestive juices in stomach before taking.
For some reason he stopped taking it and didn't have seizures for roughly 3 months. Eventually one night he had 5 seizures. I'm thinking it was due to the choline in liposomal supplement that he had taken.
To stop them, I mixed 6 1000 mg Taurine capsules into 1/16 tablespoon of MCT oil. The Taurine stopped his seizures. As an added measure, next day I decided to add PQQ and Omega 3 DHA capsule for added measure.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The normal range of magnesium is 2*9 to 4 0 mgm. per 100 c.cm. Of whole blood with an average value of 3861 mgm.
2. In 100 epileptics the blood magnesium ranged from 2-67 to 4-80 mgm., with an average value of 3-47 mgm.
3. Thirty-three (58 per cent.) out of 57 cooperative epileptics were helped by small, daily, non-dehydrating doses of Epsom salt.
4. In a control group of 35 patients taking mineral oil and 15 unco-operative patients taking Epsom salt irregularly, only six patients (12 percent.) showed slight improvement.
5. There was no correlation between degree of improvement and quantity of Epsom salt administered, blood magnesium level, colour or age, except in the psychoses with cerebral arteriosclerosis, in which ages, necessarily advanced, ranged from 60 to 73.
6. In 33 improved cases, six diagnostic groups showed the following percentage improvement:-
Psychosis with cerebral arteriosclerosis .. 76-6 per cent.
Dementia praecox ..... ………………… 720
General paresis ...... …………………...60'0
Epilepsy without psychosis ... …………. 590
Epilepsy with mental deficiency ... ……..490
Psychosis with epilepsy .... …………… 33-8
7. Kidney disease was not present in the patients who responded to treatment; and hypermagnessemia was never sufficient to produce drowsiness or coma.
8. Three patients showed lower than average blood magnesium during convulsions, but reacted poorly to magnesium therapy.
9. Magnesium in small daily dosage is effective in some epileptics neither by filling an elemental deficiency nor by dehydration.

Mozart - Sonata for Two Pianos in D, K. 448 [complete] (youtube.com)
This sonata was also used in the scientific study that tested the theory of the Mozart Effect, suggesting that classical music increases brain activity more positively than other kinds of music. The sonata is written in three movements,
According to the British Epilepsy Organization, research has suggested that Mozart's K 448 can have the "Mozart effect", in that listening to the piano sonata improved spatial reasoning skills and reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy.
A study certified 6:13 by a scientific journal in 1993 proved that this piece accelerates the brain in 17% if you listen to it 10 minutes a day. It also can reduce the brain waves of patients with epilepsy and reduce morbidity since it has a melody that resonates with the brain. It is fantastic indeed!! I'll start listening to it on a day-to-day basis. Thank you, Mozart for this gift to humanity.
This piece has been shown to have an anti-epileptic effect on the brain and may be a possible treatment to prevent epileptic seizures, according to new research presented recently at the 7th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology. Listening to the famous 18th century composer's Sonata for Two Pianos K448 led to a 32% reduction in epileptiform discharges (EDs). These are electrical brain waves associated with epilepsy and can cause seizures or bursts of electrical activity that temporarily affect how the brain works. The research was led by Professor Ivan Rektor, from the Epilepsy Centre at the Hospital St Anne and CEITEC Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.
Researchers have previously hypothesised that the Mozart effect in epilepsy was connected to the emotional effects of music, as dopamine (the main neurotransmitters of the brain's reward system) is released when listening to music. Still, there is no direct proof of the mechanism.
In conclusion, Mozart was truly a genius!!! Comment from youtube:
I have depression, social anxiety, panic attacks, ocd, and constantly hering voices that make me do dreadful thing and severa crises of psychotic behaviour and epilepsy. And all this helped me so much. You truly are a geniu Mozart. Thank you so much for everything you subconsciously did to me.

Here is a relevant study quote :
' Considering that the addition of melatonin to routine anti-seizure treatment was effective in reducing the severity of epilepsy and improving sleep quality, it seems that melatonin can be useful as an adjunct therapy for EGTCS in well-defined circumstances. '
Another interesting point about this study is that they only used 3 mg of melatonin/per day to get these good effects in people with epilepsy. These studies always leave me wondering what a higher dose of melatonin might have done. Considering that there are already human studies using significantly higher dosages of melatonin over 100 mg to good effect, it makes me wonder why they would use such a low dose for an actual disease treatment.

Before, when I related that an infant of a friend had seizures and Vanderbilt, nor the U of Tn Medical school could find the problem and both recommended exploratory brain surgery. Instead they took the infant to my Natural Doctor, who took it's DNA, which revealed a brain parasite. With homeopathic drops the infant was back to normal within a few months. No trial surgery, no big medical bill. What was so traumatic for my friend is this was his December son. He was a grandfather by his three grown daughters. He teared up telling me the story.
When I related this story to my neighbor she instantly dismissed the possibility. Hey,,,,,, and she is a nurse.
What is so sad is that lots of folks have this problem and when the surgery finds a parasite, they call it a tumor because insurance will not pay for a parasite. The doctors then call the worm a tumor. $$$$$$$ Game over.
My doctor also took on an airline executive that all the Big Names could not find her problem. That too turned out to be a parasite she had picked up in Thailand. Doctors knew all this stuff prior to Big Pharma controlling the medical schools.
The U S is # 1 in Trauma medicine. It is #37 in common sense, right behind Cuba, who leads the world in Ozone Medicine.

I believe this excerpt from Thomas Levy's book deserves an additional cure for ketogenic diet. The book is called "Curing the Incurable" 3rd edition, ebook page 316 of 7745.
In one of the more recent references in the April, 2000 issue of Pediatrics eleven studies on the ketogenic diet were reviewed. The authors concluded that the ketogenic diet completely stopped medically unresponsive seizures in a significant percentage of children. The diet also reduced seizure frequency by over 90% in an even greater percentage of children! Similar articles were found in the various neurology and epilepsy journals. Sadly, it would seem that many pediatricians and pediatric neurologists do not know what is in the most current issues of their primary and specialty journals.

I started spirulina in Dec.2014 each day and added fish oil last year plus vitamins: as of Nov.2016, I haven't had major (collapsing) seizure for over three months. Also take 5000 IU Vit, D3 (liquid for under tongue) because I am celiac w/leaky gut: as well as vitamins E, zinc and B6 and tyrosine and 3000 mg taurine.
Believe I am over-medicated so have reduced my medication occasionally with no effect.

I eat, drink, cook with organic coconut oil as much as I can. One of my favorite drinks is coconut water. I also enjoy flavored drinks that are partially coconut. These drinks are all organic. Every time that I cook in a pan, I never use vegetable oil or butter. Instead, I use organic coconut oil. When cooking in a pot, the recipe usually asks you to add some butter. Instead of butter, I always add coconut oil. That tastes good and is very good for the body and brain. My coconut oil hardens on it's own, so I usually take a chunk out of the bottle. When I do want to measure it, I put it in the microwave for a short period of time. That liquefies it. I also use the coconut oil on wounds. It heals them quickly. I also take vitamins to help my epilepsy. The ones that I take, because I feel that they also are healing my epilepsy, are: Omega, Turmeric, CoQ10, and Methyl B-12. I no longer eat any Dairy foods or drinks. All of this, is on top of how I still am taking my medicines. Even though I do, I lowered my medicine dose about a year ago, mainly because the doctors dislike lowering their patient's dose.
This year, I'm 58 years old. Before I changed my diet so strongly, about 2 years ago, I was having 2 seizures every week, during my whole life. As of today, it has been 4 months since my last seizure.
