Treating Epilepsy Naturally: A Guide to Alternative and Adjunct Therapies (NTC KEATS - HEALTH)

Excellent. Enlightening and informative.

I liked the way that you spoke in your book as if we were perfectly sane human beings, who could understand and do the research that many scientific drs don't bother to even try doing, because they're so hooked up with getting their titles, finding out what all the names of the drugs are and what the main things to watch out for with them are, and what pays the best money to them to sell or get their patients taking, no matter how damaging to a clients life it can be. I am delighted that you looked at the herbal and natural ways of treating Epilepsy, as I am going towards having a life that is totally natural, after 40yrs on scientific medicines that have literally wrecked and ruined my life, stopping me from being able to work, even though I've got 3 Diplomas, endles years of experince of Performance and teaching privately, or working voluntarily with severely disabled and elderly, or mentally ill people, and could have been a real asset to the working world with a career in Music Therapy or Performance of Music/Drama/Teaching the Slow learners and forgotten people in communities across the globe in neglected countries who needed such skills to help them get through life. I thank you for writing such a book and would be ever so grateful if you were able to put me in touch with Natural Herbal Doctors or Qualified Practicioners who would be willing to help mentor me off the medication I am currently on via the NHS, onto purely Herbal and Mineral based medicines, as I already take some of these alongside the NHS drugs I've been on for 40yrs. with horrible side-effects and harmful diseases developing from them, which Drs won't bother to treat except with more drugs that harm you and can even do damage by interfering with the original drugs. That's how little they know about the medicines. Miss Julie C Duffy, LLCM.

This is a really good book if you want to treat ur epilepsy naturally. It tells u what deficiencies maybe causing ur seizure, bit of info on the ketogenic diet n lots of other things that maybe causing ur seizures, e.g. Sugar.

The information is fairly broad. It is not detailed enough on particular issues, but rather, it seems to provide information which one could research further elsewhere. For example, when dealing with nutrition, various helpful suggestions are made by providing the supplement dosages which say a certain health care practitioner suggests. I did just go out and buy some of the suggestions, but would probably need to read those other authors to understand the reasoning behind the supplements fully.It's a bit of a thought inducer. I found the notion of biofeedback interesting, if I'm not forgetting the term the author used. The notion that breathing is somehow related to having a seizure seemed relevant. As did issues of the stomach. It seems that I could research deeper into various ideas the author picked out for comment in her book. I will use it as a starting reference book as and when I want to study more, even though some things did seem a little bit on the "pseudo-science" side. I kind of liked that though, because it gives the reader the opportunity to decide whether something is beneficial, putting their health in their own hands, and away from the passive acceptance of that decided by a time constrained health professional (one that is of course also very helpful).The author comes across as caring and compassionate and understanding of the concerns - of course she having gone through such health battles herself. I was surprised how much this mattered to me. It was a refreshing change from the sense one usually gets from medical practitioners.

Fabulous book. Well written and well presented. Very useful and full of very useful information. Has been helpful for my other half. Thanks.

This should be compulsory reading for everyone who is interested in health not just as relates to epilepsy. I am very glad I bought it.

Arrived in good time and very informative

Useful information on many therapies.
