Over 2 million people in the United States alone
have a seizure health problem, which is characterized by recurring seizures.
Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy, but not all people who have
seizures have epilepsy, and even those who do may also have seizures
that are not epileptic in nature. An epileptic seizure is a temporary
malfunction of the brain caused by uncontrolled electrical activity
from the nerve cells in the cerebral cortex. The seizures rarely
damage the brain, but they can make life difficult. The underlying cause(s) of epilespy are relatively unknown. Seizures may occur for no
apparent reason or may be triggered by a wide range of things,
including exposure to an allergen, drug or alcohol withdrawal, fever,
flashing lights, hunger, hypoglycemia ,
infection, lack of sleep, metabolic or even nutritional deficiencies
or imbalances, trauma, especially head injuries. Note nutritional supplementation is
very important for people with seizures. more

it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity."
O.W. Holmes, (Prof. of Medicine Harvard University)
"Every drug increases and complicates the patients
condition." Robert Henderson, M.D.
"In sickness the body is already loaded with impurities. By
taking drug - medicines more impurities are added, thereby the case is further
embarrassed and harder to cure." Elmer Lee, M.D.
"The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and
medicines, is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and
others.

Seizures Weblinks for more Information
Seizures in children can be particularly disturbing. They are the
most common neurological problem affecting children, indeed, one-third
of people with seizure disorders are children. lodiopathic epilepsy
(seizures of unknown cause) or febrile seizures (nonepileptic seizures
induced by fever) affect about 3 percent of children. Angelman
syndrome (a rare congenital disorder seen in children) is associated
with seizures or tremors. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a severe seizure
disorder that usually develops in children between the ages of one and
eight. Seizures in very young children often stem from brain injury
before birth, damage to the central nervous system, or metabolic
inconsistencies. In older children, epilepsy is more likely to result
from genetic factors, infections of the central nervous system, or
head injury. Nutritional supplementation is important for people with
seizures.
The Different Types
of Seizures
Absence also known as petit mal - This type of seizure
is most common in children and teenagers. It is characterized
by a blank stare lasting about half a minute; the person
appears to be daydreaming. During this type of seizure, the
individual is unaware of his or her surroundings. Staring or
daydreaming in children should not be confused with absence
seizures. If a child is daydreaming, he or she can be aroused
by a simple touch or someone talking to them and a child
having an absence seizure cannot.
Atonic or drop attack - A childhood seizure in
which the child loses consciousness for about 10 seconds and
normally falls to the ground because of a complete loss of
muscle tone.
Complex partial or temporal lobe - A blank stare,
random activity, and a chewing motion are characteristic of
this type of seizure. The person may be dazed and unaware of
his or her surroundings, and may act oddly. There is no memory
of this seizure. A person may experience a distinctive warning
sign called an aura before this type of seizure. The aura is
itself a form of partial seizure, but one in which the person
retains awareness. The aura may be experienced as a peculiar
odor, "butterflies" in the stomach, or a distorted
sound. One man with epilepsy, an ardent racetrack gambler,
said he always heard the roar of a crowd, followed by the name
of a favorite racehorse, just before he lost consciousness.
Generalized tonic-clonic also known as grand
mal - This type of seizure is characterized by sudden cries, a
fall, rigidity and jerking of the muscles, shallow breathing, and
bluish skin. Loss of bladder control is possible. The seizure usually
lasts 2 to 5 minutes, and is followed by confusion, fatigue,
and/or memory loss. It can be very frightening to witness, especially
for the first time observer.
Myoclonic - Brief, massive muscle jerks occur.
Simple partial or Jacksonian - Jerking begins
in the fingers and toes and progresses up through the body. The person
remains conscious.
Simple partial sensory - the person may
see, hear, or sense things that do not exist. This may occur as a
preliminary symptom of a generalized seizure.
