Re: [MedicaidforHDOT] spasms

[Guest guest]

Hi Janine,

Those spasms are symptoms of coordinated discharges (normal electrical

activity should be of the uncoordinated type). When such discharges are

stronger, and generalize, we see a seizure.

Hyperbaric sessions may help to uncoordinate and stabilize electrical

activity,

but excessive pressure and oxygen does the opposite. Each person has its

own threshold, but there are general guidelines.

Now, some complementary/alternative concepts and remedies:

....but, first, can you tell us if there is any circadian pattern

(definite times of the day, or after any activity, like sleep, feeding,

etc)?}

Some organs (stomach, intestines, kidneys) can be the seat of the

starting impulse, through the autonomic nervous system.

It is important to identify and treat the edgy organ, instead of putting

all the blame on the central nervous system only.

Food intolerances may also be involved in the irritation of an organ or

system.

Unfriendly foods should be singled out and excluded.

An unspecific remedy to calm the ANS down may be homeopathic Belladonna,

in diverse dilutions.

The gut is helped with chamomile tea, castor oil hot pads, etc.

Kidneys can benefit from horsetail (very small doses), hot pads, and so

on.

Any further questions (there should be some..), just ask.

Best regards.

Hi, my daughter also had meningitis, sorry to say it sounds all to

familiar. We went thru so many eeg's, but perhaps a spec. scan is more

reveling? Please be careful (and I'm not saying this is the case), but while

was laughing we found out that she was actually grimacing from

seizures. My opinion the best news is your daughter is off seizure meds, for

they can have terrible side effects. To find out more about -

http://www.thejennyrosecenter.com page thru to our mission and click on more

about . Perhaps we can talk more in the future.

Hi, I usually don't talk to much on this list serve but benefit from

reading

the information that is posted on it. Thank you all!! My daughter Krysta

(some of you I have met) is now 19 months old and has received 180+

hyperbaric

treatments. She is no longer on any seizure med's and has had eeg's done

that

show no seizure activity but definate abnormalities. (She contacted

menegitis

at 4 days old.)

My question is, she has spasms a few times a day. They tend to be regular

where as they happen 4 seconds apart where her whole body reacts and it's

almost

like a twitch, this lasts for about 3 - 5 minutes. I know I talked with a

few

doctors about this at the 3rd Sympossim and they saw the spasms and they

called them just that. I had an eeg done after that but of course she

didn't do

the sequence ones that she does, just little spasms. I am just wondering

if

any one has any experience or knowledge of what this is and if there is

something we can do for them. They don't seem to bother her, she usually

laughs thru

it. (Which is something she never did till after hbot (laugh) . Are

these

seizure or just spasms, or something else in the nervous system causing

them??

Any ideas, thoughts, or concerns would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again,

Thanks for the info, I also sometimes wonder if some of her laughing

espically when she spasms is seizure related. I know others are not. I haven't

had

the chance to go to your web site yet, but hopefully we will be able to chat

more in the future. How old is and how is she doing now?

is now 11 and has come a tremendous way. She does not have

seizures any more, but is still on small dosages of depacote. She is walking

well and has been interacting over the last several years. A few months ago

we did more HBOT and we believe as a result she no longer needs to wear her

glasses. amazing to me, for she has always had glasses! We have not done

anything extra ordinary recently, so other then GOD it has to be HBOT.

Either way where grateful. Within my studies of HBOT I read that this

happens sometimes and also could revert, but so far so good. One other

important thing that helped was the Ketogenic diet, perhaps you may

want to look into this?
