WARING; Re:Has anyone else had fantastic results from neurosurgery or is it jus

[Guest guest]

Hi Dorene,

Let me say hello to Zoe first. Hi Zoe. How are you doing?

A new hypothesis has been put forward to explain why keto diet helps. If that

theory is correct, then you may want to consider using MCT such as coconut oil

to help during the transition from keto diet. I talked to a top scientist who is

leading a research team of about 20-30 scientists at a research institute in

Oakland California and we think MCT would help seizure control based on this

hypothesis for certain population of seizure patients. Of course, you need to

consult with your neurologist. Some time apparently harmless substances can in

unusual situation cause problem. (Case in point - My son took fish oil for a

month and have 10 grand mals until I stopped the fish oil. I changed fish oil

during that month even though it is a top brand with constant monitoring for

impurities such as mercury. Same problem. I had consulted doctors and a PhD in

nutrition specializes in fish oil but no one could explain that and I know of at

least one case exactly like

that. In fact the fish oil I used was the same one Dr. Bromfield used at the

Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Boston University for his trial in treating

seizures with fish oil a couple years back. My son took the fish oil before Dr.

Bromfield did his work. It just happened to be a coincidence that I used the

same brand and the same product for that fish oil brand.)

Good luck

CY

Hi Dorene,

I hope your daughter continues to improve her seizure disorder. You might want

to do a search on Zonegran side effects and see if you can do anything to

address them, such as supplements to make up for any nurtients depleted by the

medication. Your pharmacist should have this information or be able to look it

up for you.

Are your keto doctors giving you and your daughter any help in developing a diet

for her to maintain as she weans off the keto diet?

There was at least on nutritionist on one of the Atkins4Seizures support group.

http://health. groups.. com/group/ atkins4seizures/

There are a lot of nice folks there so maybe they will have some ideas and

support for you too. Over all the years she suffered, was she evaluated for

celiac disease? I don't have it, but am gluten intolerant and getting the gluten

out of my diet did make a very big improvement in my seizure frequency. This

link is to an earlier study showing that myoclonus can be due to gluten

sensitivity\ celiac disease.

hospitalized and diagnosed with Celiac disease. AMAZING improvement after just 1

http://www.celiac. com/articles/ 116/1/Epilepsy- and-Celiac- Disease/Page1. html

For all the frustrations, it is important to keep picking up where we left off,

to do what we can to maintain in normal life and do what we want to do,

regardless any obstacles from the seizure disorder. It sounds like your daughter

is taking charge of her situation. I wish her the best.

Dear CY and everyone,

 

I am posting a letter that our natural health practitioner sent to our

Neurologist when we asked her permission to try this natural alternative

instead. It contains, " another old hypothesis  to explain why the  ketogenic

 diet helps "

Here is a detailed description of each product that I am Rx for (name of patient

deleted) 

 

Dr. Royal Lee (see:

http://www.westonaprice.org/nutritiongreats/lee.html ) believed that many

times seizures/convulsions were due to " low tissue calcium " levels in the body.

This condition was exacerbated by high glucose in the diet; which is a common

circumstance in most peoples diets due to the excessive amounts of

carbohydrates most humans consume.  Glucose tends to block the assimilation of

calcium and if tissue calcium levels get too low a seizure/convulsion can occur.

This is probably why the Ketogenic diets work much of the time, simply because

when Glucose is limited, calcium absorption is not blocked.  Another factor

that enhances calcium absorbing is adequate Omega 3 fatty acids

specifically alpha linolenic acid present in Flax oil.  This is why Cataplex F

is recommended.

 

The level of prolactin in the blood goes up when someone has a generalized

tonic-clonic seizure or a complex partial seizure. This may be because the

pituitary gland in the brain releases prolactin, under the control of the

hypothalamus. Epileptic seizures may affect the hypothalamus.

http://www.healthandage.com/public/health-center/18/news/7577/Blood-test-to-dete\

rmine-seizure-type.html 

The hypothalamus, in turn, receives many direct connections from those parts of

the temporal lobe that are involved in the generation of seizures.

http://professionals.epilepsy.com/page/women_guide.html 

The Hypothalamus PMG  is also given in most seizure/convulsions cases to

normalize function of the Hypothalamus.  This product does not force anything

to happen in the body, but rather facilities normalized Hypothalamus function. 

In concert with the Calcium Lactate and Cataplex F (and possibly a low

carbohydrate or Ketogenic diet) seizure activity can many times be totally

alleviated.

These are a professional line that I carry.  The Standard Process nutrients I

am recommending have to be dispensed by a health care professional and the

company has been around since 1929.  Here is a listing of their products:

http://my.standardprocess.com/display/mspalphalisting.spi

This seizure protocol I am recommending is based off Dr. Royal Lee's research. 

He was the founder of Standard Process.

 

CALCIUM LACTATE

4 - 12

(best taken on empty stomach) 

Source of  ionizable calcium, source of magnesium, muscle contraction, nerve

impulse, blood coagulation.  USE FOR. infections, cramps, coughing, insomnia,

pregnancy, child supplement, osteoporosis, physiological relaxer, tissue repair,

hemorrhage.

 

Commentary: There is more calcium in the human body than all the other minerals

in the body added together.  In every tissue it is the mineral of strength and

form.  But like the currency of a country, it must be in the right form, i.e.,

Swiss Francs cannot be spent in the U.S. More calcium supplements are sold than

any other mineral, but most of it is not absorbed from the GI tract into the

blood.  This is not a dairy product as it contains no whey or lactose and is

safe for people allergic to milk products.

 

: CALCIUM LACTATE tablets each contain five grains of calcium

lactate and one grain of magnesium citrate.  This makes the pH of the total

product 5.2, which is on the acid side.  Seven is neutral, which straight

calcium lactate would be.  So our CALCIUM LACTATE will often be assimilated

where other calcium lactate products wouldn't be - people with an alkaline

gastrointestinal tract just can't assimilate calcium well.  So we have

considered a lot of these things in building our products, even though this

information isn't on the label.  We know how to formulate products which the

body can use.  CALCIUM LACTATE is probably our best-selling product.  When we

mix it with a parathyroid base we call it CAL-MA PLUS.  It contains calcium

lactate and magnesium citrate.  The essential point is that it is a very easily

ionized form of calcium - probably more easily ionized than any other kind. 

The only kind of calcium you can ionize in your

blood stream is calcium bicarbonate.  Calcium lactate changes to calcium

bicarbonate in just one step.  Whereas limestone goes through about a dozen

changes to become calcium bicarbonate.  Don't confuse calcium bicarbonate with

calcium carbonate.  Calcium bicarbonate is the form of calcium that you find in

spring water.  It you take that spring water and heat it in a tea kettle, the

soft organic calcium bicarbonate changes to the hard inorganic calcium

carbonate, which is insoluble.  It precipitates to the bottom of the tea

kettle.  That is limestone.  But calcium bicarbonate is ionized in the

bloodstream.  To ionize is to give an electrical charge to the item being

ionized.  The ionization of minerals makes them functional in our body in the

tissues.  If calcium is not ionized, for example, it stays in the fluid.  The

ionization of minerals is achieved through our body's enzyme system.  Getting

back to calcium bicarbonate - you can't make

calcium bicarbonate tablets because as soon as you start drying the bicarbonate

it changes to calcium carbonate.  So the closest that we can come to calcium

bicarbonate is calcium lactate.

with Vitamin D, Ionizes calcium lactate, iodine source for thyroid,

hair/skin/nails vitamin, contains linolenic and linoleic acids as well as

HYPOTHALAMUS PMG

1 - 3

 

Endocrine, brain, central nervous system.  USE FOR: Endocrine disorders,

unresponsive endocrine therapies, augment endocrine therapies, epilepsy.

Commentary:  The hypothalamus gland, located in the brain has a unique

inter-system communication function.  This small gland acts as network allowing

communication between the Endocrine System and Central Nervous System.  These

two systems are the most dominant systems for chemistry and energy in the

body.  Without proper hypothalamic function, the two systems are uncoordinated

in their functional response to what the other system is doing.  Often

endocrine or nervous system imbalances go uncorrected because the hypothalamus

gland is not considered in the therapy.  This gland also sets the body's

THERMOSTAT for energy and fat metabolism.  This gland in a sense, needs

resetting when the body is " fighting " against weight loss.  This mechanism is

not entirely understood, however there is general agreement that the

hypothalamus gland controls that " set point. "

Hi:

The women in my family all have experienced temporal seizures related to

hormonal imbalances.

My mother had it when her thyroid was hi.(it went away when they radiated it)

My sister and I have them with menopause (estrogen and progesterone help) plus

diet.

and I have discovered several triggers and interesting things that correlate

with your information:

I hope this list is helpful to somebody!

1.- certain foods trigger seizures.

dairy products (fats and calcium)

very spicy foods

foods that you could be allergic to

caffeine ( chocolate, coffee, tea and cokes)

2.-dehydration

3.-lack of sleep (staying up very late)

4.-hormonal imbalances (many start having seizures when menopause or girl when

they start their periods sometimes

even boys at puberty)

5.-electromagnetic fields (computers and tv)

6.-changes in blood sugar

7.-excessive salt and excessive sugar

8.- lack of magnesium

9.-lack of vitamin B " s

10.- excessive strenuous exercise

11.- taking calcium ( this is interesting because of what the article says about

lack of calcium)

I definitely have seizures when I take calcium. apparently it stimulates

the brain.

I also have had a test done that indicates thatmy omegas are extremely

low,(taking flax seed oil helps me enormously)

my neurotransmitters are extremely low (some have the Job of calming the brain

and maybe I don't have enough of those either) I have lead and mercury I don't

know what role that plays in this.

When I eat a lot of carbs my ears ring. I also have yeast.

I really would love to hear your opinion on the relationship between my test

results and your articles.

I wonder if your daughters omegas would also test low. Does she take Calcium?

have you had her neurotransmitters tested?

any and all info is truly appreciated!

to do what we can to maintain in normal life and do what we want to do,

Dear ,

Have a look at the following information,

http://www.litalee.com/shopexd.asp?id=208

From the above website: " Many nutrient deficiencies are implicated in seizures.

These include B vitamins, such as folic acid and vitamin B6, magnesium, calcium,

manganese and zinc. Because there are so many nutrient variables in the seizure

syndrome, the best way to avoid it is to make sure you eat whole unrefined foods

that are not stripped of these important nutrients. Then you won’t have to

worry about which ones you need. "

I highlighed calcium in red because you said that calcium can trigger seizures.

It is known that the deficiency of calcium can be implicated in seizures.

However the calcium lactate that my relative takes is from natural food sources

and it is balance with magnesium and she also takes other natural food nutrients

prescribed by a natural health practisioner for the purpose.

You said, " I definitely have seizures when I take calcium.

apparently it stimulates the brain. "

I did not know that calcium trigger seizures in some people like yourself. Does

calcium from natural vegetable food sources caused you to have seizures even if

you take it with magnesium, adequate vitamin D from the sun or natural food

sources to help you to absorb the calcium, omega 3 and other nutrients? If it

does, how do you avoid calcium deficiency?

This is the the natural food calcium that my relative takes:

You can only buy the following product through a natural health practisioner as

far as I know.

Calcium lactate.

Hi AS:

I am very impressed with Lee. THANKS A MILLION FOR THIS LINK IT LOOKS

AWESOME! IT is the first time that I have read about someone who is really

focusing on the subject of imbalances and deficiencies in the body in DEPTH.

Many people know about the B vitamins and magnesium but few know all that she

does.

She seems to talk about many of the areas that I found, by my own observation,

to trigger seizures. I am intrigued by the fact that some of her observations

are slightly different than mine although it is the same area of interest.

For example:

_She says low progesterone can make sensitive people have seizures. However, I

have tried using progesterone alone to stop the seizures and it has not worked

for me. A little estrogen and a lot more progesterone(as she describes, works

better and within a day or two the threshold raises. ( I am postmenopausal).

Remember I said my mother had them with hyperthyroid too.... I know that lack

of estrogen interferes with neuron communication. It affects your memory and I

think it also makes your brain irritable. Of course too much is bad too! I

think balance is the key!

_She says that water retention can cause seizures. I find that not drinking

enough water during the day causes night seizures. SIDE NOTE: I do IV for

chelation and in the morning my veins are very hard to puncture because they are

moving and contracting. I have to drink a ton of water and eat a meal before I

have the IV, or they have to puncture me many times before they get me. I wake

up at night sometimes with a a shaking in my head and it goes away if I drink

water.??? I don't know about low sodium but I do know that too much salt or too

much sugar will cause my brain irritability...

_My ears ring if I don't eat protein, specially if I don't eat protein for

breakfast. I have to be careful of carbs. Is this hyperinsulinemia or

hypoglycimia??? or lack of fats or proteins ...she does talk about sugar

metabolism and maybe inability to digest protein???

_I don't know if she talked about Flax seed oil but for me is a God Sent!

HUUUUUge difference. Try a tablespoon iun the morning and a tablespoon at

night!!!

As far as the calcium is concerned, I look at some of my bottles of calcium

and chelated minerals. They do have

espartate or glutamate....Wow, I did not know about that. I did now about

Espartame. I will pay attention

to that. the calcium that I have is super Cal-Mag by nature's life. I know

that I tried a couple of others

and had the same reaction.Unfortunately I don't remember what they were, but it

was several. I also took coral calcium and it made my brain crazy even during

the

day. I felt like I had turned up the volume of the neurone chatter and they

were having some kind of crisis up there. .... I also have talked to others on

this site about calcium having stimulating effect on the brain. We had mixed

reviews. I don't know if I kept the conversations. Many people were surprised

to hear what I said about calcium, but I have tested it several times. With

several products and It always makes my brain crazy. I do take a multivitamin

that does not have that effect and food does not do it. except dairy!

I believe that all these and other imbalances, that she and I talk about, make

the brain too excitable and the threshold for seizures lower. It then

compounds by adding other stimulus like electromagnetic fields which stimulates

the brain even more. That is why so many people have problems with continuous

exposure to tv and computers. Flashing lights also do this because the

stimulation goes in the brain through the pupil of the eye and just irritate the

already irritated brain.

There is so much to talk about...

I am going to pursue this with lee. I was waiting to get the metals out

because I don't know to what extent my seizures are caused by a semi disabled

liver because of metals and a mercury and lead contaminated brain. The issue of

enzymes would be really interesting to talk to her about and you too!

Thanks again and feel free to write to me again. If I can help you with

anything don't hesitate! If I were you I would test the calcium controversy for

myself. Try it with and without and see what happens.

Any and all info is deeply appreciated.
