Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Hi By EPO are you referring to Evening Primrose Oil? If so, be careful, as I have heard it is contra-indicated in those with seizures. Jill At 08:53 AM 8/11/02, you wrote: >Hi , > >Could you tell me what amount of EPO you started with?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 - We started with Epo-liquid(GNC)500mg 1x daily- then raised her slowly to 2000mg 1x daily- we then added 500 of fish oil-liquid(GNC) and Cod liver oil 500 mg 1x daily-liquid-(GNC). SHe is now at 2000mg of EPO- 2000mg of fish and 2000mg of cod liver. We also added Bacopa-Iherb.com-1 capsule daily and Ashwagandha-1 capsule daily. Bacopa is a herb that helps repair the mental deficit caused by AED " s- Ashwagandha is also the same as Bacopa just easier to find. -- [ ] - oils Hi , Could you tell me what amount of EPO you started with? When you added the other oils & how much you give? Also what brands? Sorry for all the questions! Sometimes the way in which you try something can make such a difference. I have been interested in oils ever since we did the BodyBio testing and now with Mallorie on the keto diet I have been thinking of trying some of the healthy oils again.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 - I forgot that you can find all of these in a book called " Mind Boosters Written by Dr. Ray Sahelian. He has a website with herbal printouts from his book at www.raysahelian.com -- [ ] - oils Hi , Could you tell me what amount of EPO you started with?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Jill and - It is true that in some it increases seizures but my child has seizures and it didin't increase then it reduced them by 50%. Sedona has seizures in the tempral lobe- the speech center. She has done great things on the EPO but I can't tell you that it will have the same effect on your child. As we all know each child reacts differently to the AED's as well. All we can do is take a chance and see what happens. There is no weaning on or off like AED's My daughter is completely AED free. SHe is 5 and weights 55 lbs. -- Re: [ ] - oils Hi By EPO are you referring to Evening Primrose Oil? If so, be careful, as I have heard it is contra-indicated in those with seizures.
