Just like you the cord was wrapped around my neck at birth and for yrs. they thought that's what caused my seizures but it wasn't until I had a wada test where they give a shot and half of your brain goes to sleep and they test you that I found out that what really caused my seizures was trauma when my mom was pregnant with me.

My Grandfather passed away and the trauma of his death effected my mother causing to many brain cells to form on the right temporal lobe and they never went away this in turn caused scar tissue and started up the epilepsy when I was 10 yrs. old that was 39 yrs. ago.

I would be more than happy to tell you about the surgery any time you want any info. feel free to ask. I'm on the ketogenic diet but I'm not following the guide for it each and every day.

I have found that staying away from nutra sweet (aspartame) was one big help. I used to buy diet soda all the time and I noticed a big increase in my seizures when I spoke with my Epileptologist he told me that nutra sweet will cause more electrical activity in a persons brain which can trigger seizures for many people.

Cell phones can do the same thing because your in the 900 megahertz frequency and some people end up having seizures, brain tumors, and it has been proven that using a cell phone will shrink a persons hippocampus and this is the area where a persons short term memory is as well as learning.

I can see a lot of my family and friends repeating questions to me and they are very forgetful it's almost like having alzheimers. One thing I forgot to tell you to do is to get a calendar and write down each time you have a seizure.

Write down the time of day/night the seizure happens along with a discription of the seizure. If you are still having your monthly cycle be sure to right down when you start and stop your cycle because hormones are changing which can trigger seizures for many women. This is known as cateminal seizures.


In regards to getting DNA tests done take my word a lot of Drs. will say they don't do this or they have never heard of it but that aren't telling you the truth because it's been done for yrs. The Drs. just want to make extra money perscribing meds for a person.

I will tell you that use of cell phones can also change a persons DNA. To get more info. about seizures just type in Epilepsy Foundation of America or call this number if you live in the U.S.


1-800-322-1000 and you will reach the Epilepsy Foundation and they will send you info. in the mail. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

And there is nothing better when you are feeling down and out and are having a bad day, and then you walk over to a shelf in your kitchen, and you see all these trays brimming with various kinds of sprouts that YOU YOURSELF GREW, that you know are organic, no pesticides, no bad stuff going into your blood stream, into your cells, and you realize that you are getting clorophyll and enzymes and well, it is just divine.

I actually walk over and talk to my trays of sprouts. My husband caught me doing this, rolled his eyes and I looked at him and said "What is the difference between me talking to my sprouts and you sitting at the computer, singing along with the Mamas and the Papas and you can't carry a tune?"

At least my sprouts feed us, they are organic, they are cheap and I use them EVERY SINGLE DAY, in all the seasons. You really can't beat that.

And when you put good clean stuff in your body, your body says:

'THANK YOU!!!

I actually was sprouting something all the time for awhile before I started having the mold problem so I'm all set to do it again.

BTW. What did you rinse your sprouts in ? I found distilled water got too expensive and my tap water is terrible here ..

I'll have to try this again sometime but right now I'm trying to wean myself off of some of the Klonopin I was taking ... It was driving me nuts ... :eek:

Oh and I just found this today ...
