Long story short:

I believe in grassroots movements. The internet is ideal for that.

And I

believe in a saying of ours: " People vote by their feet. " I go where

I can

buy the things I need for my health. If they do not have it, I ask

them,

whether they can order it for me. If they cannot or will not, I say

bye-bye

with a smile, and go to those who do it for me. Next thing: I talk

about

where I had my good experiences around here.

I hope this comes very close to your idea of spreading the news

among those

who suffer and want to get better.

Wishing a fine day to all of you,

Katharina

Hi Katharina,

You are so very right about grass roots movements and the Internet

is a good opportunity for greater numbers of people to work together.

It is the same situation here with the media, where the advertisers

are the main source of income. To talk about your good experiences

with alternative health is very effective, also to write about it on

the Internet.

Just today my doctor asked me for information because one of the

patients at the clinic has intractable seizures. Of course, here she

is getting no information about how she can control her seizures

without drugs. So the first priority is to direct her to information,

such as the web address for the s\Reiter clinic and to the few

books now available.

Several months ago I saw one of the few neurologists in this

town. I told him I did not use drugs and had not had a seizure since

July of 1998. Immediately he became defensive and almost

antagonistic. " You can't cure epilepsy, " he said with a very negative

voice. I informed him that I hadn't " cured " epilepsy, since epilepsy

is not even a disease. I just learned ways to stop having seizures

that did not involve drugs or surgery.

The doctor became very negative, like he was being personally

attacked. He immediately wanted to schedule an EEG to " prove " my

epilepsy was not " cured. " I didn't bother with the test, needless to

say, since EEGs don't prove or disprove seizures. About 15% of the

general population will have " abnormal " EEGs even though they have no

history of seizures whatsoever.

Those who are finding methods to manage or overcome their

seizures can make an impact by sharing their experiences with others.

Perhaps the most revolutionary actions we can take is to share

information and resources with others so they can help themselves. I

admire your work and your efforts to help others.
