My wife has had epilepsy since she was 12 years old both grand and petit mal seizures, she would have petit mal between 2-4 a week and grand mal between 1-2 a year. I read an article by Dr.Tim Betts about aromatherapy and reflexology and I started giving her massages on her  feet and also giving her a B complex 100mg 1 a day with a multi vitamin and she has petit mal now maybe 1 amonth and in 2 and a half years no grand mal. There is a web site for Mr.Betts I'm sure it can be found with a search. Maybe this might work for someone. Also lots of rest and a healthy diet.

It's interesting that you mentioned this... I smoked my whole highschool career and first part of college and i was myoclonic jerk and seizure free.  I stopped smoking when I was about 19 just because it got redundant and boring and i began getting my jerks and auras back and finally got a seizure a few weeks ago.  I really never made the connection before!

I hear everyone talking about smoking it for seizures and I woulsd say why not use a vaporizor it better for you and helps faster. Also though I can not get any , do not know of anypeople I can get it from, would onyl use organic if I could get hold of it. Otherwise one does not know if it is being laced with poisen. My doctor just told me one of her patiences is using it and it was laced with PCP and caused her a severe grand mal. So I encorage all to becareful of your sources. Best to you all and the journey we are all on with epilepsy!!
