Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Seizures

Last night I had 4 bad seizures. I have had a seizure disorder since I was 13 years old (now 44). It wasn t until about 6 years ago that my wife and I discovered a direct correlation with my seizures and MSG or aspartame. I ve never had a seizure during the day, always while sleeping. When I got home last night, after working late, I had a piece of pizza for dinner (not unusual). However, my wife had bought wasabi soy almonds yesterday. In the past I mixed these with peanuts and would have a handful once in a while. Interestingly, I would have a seizure once in a while as well. I hadn t had the wasabi almonds in about 6 months until last night. Also, I hadn t had a seizure in 6 months, until last night. The only thing out of the ordinary that I had last night was the wasabi almonds. I had about 3 handfuls of the almonds, not mixed with the peanuts. Looking at the ingredients, I noticed yeast extract, which is a hidden source of MSG. I think this is probably the cause of the four bad seizures I had last night. Have you ever heard of this correlation with seizures and MSG or aspartame? I guess I should be more careful with what I eat.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

If you are getting repeated attacks of epilepsy even after medication then, first of all, consult your doctor and get yourself examined.

Along with the allopathic medicines that you are taking I will advise you to also take homeopathic medicines.

It will help you in reducing the attacks and further managing epilepsy.

Check what triggers your epilepsy, anger, sleep deprivation, hunger, heat, cold, sun, seasonal changes or food substances.

Also note down the symptoms before during and after epilepsy. This information help in the selection of the medicines in homeopathy.
