Hey ,

Welcome. The random swelling in the joints is a concern if joint destruction

is occurring over time, which it may well be. That is the reason that a lot

of us take DMARDs- disease modifying agents -

The last one I took was Arava which was great except for bad stomach pain that

developed at about six weeks -- and it took a good 4-5 weeks to work. Once it

did work, it took away 90% of the psoriasis, and got the PA to only two joints

-- my right shoulder and one joint in the hand. Pretty dang good!

I hope to start Enbrel in a few weeks myself.

Good luck with your next Rheumatologist appt.

All the best to you,

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the advice on Arava - I'll ask my new rhemy about it.

hi to all on this list

my name is zainab from Cape town, south africa

i am 48 and currently experiencing many bodily discomforts like constant

fatigue, sore feet and legs, water retention, putting on weight etc.

i have come to the conclusion this is all due to toxins nd are now desperate

Hi Zainab,

Welcome to the group.

I am guessing that you are our first member from Afrika. Group is becoming

more and more intercontinental!

We have members from Asia, Europe, South and North America, Australia, New

Zealand, Hawaii,GB, Japan,...

Nobody from Antarctica, so far. I guess, we will have to wait until they

get some cheaper telephone lines.

Anybody from Island or from Greenland ?

After the symptoms that you have explained, I guess you are either poisoned

with something, either infected with something, either have been too long

time on refined and processed foods and are infected with candida, or all

of those, some of them in higher, some of them in lower grade.

You can try to get those herbs

http://home.sol.no/~dusan/herbalcure1.html

and do some parasite cleanse together with some kind of bowel cleanse :

http://home.sol.no/~dusan/bowel cleanse.html

Or you can try to find some herbalist in your town, who will be using

native African herbs for parasites/bowel cleansing .

Whatewer you choose, make sure you avoid eating foods that kill:

http://home.sol.no/~dusan/foods_that_kill.html

If I would be living in Afrika, and have some health problems, I would have

at least 80%- 90% of my foods raw (vegetable, fruits, sprouted grains and

beans, grases, vegetable juices), and I would try to adjust my diet as much

as possible to my blood type:

http://home.sol.no/~dusan/blood_type.html

Also occasionaly fish soups, and if eating some heated foods, that would be

soups, and dishes made from vegetable, grains, beans and fish.

I would avoid flour products, until cured.

You will, of course, have to find diet that you can accept.

Please , share with us any information that you think can be of value.

Especialy information about different parasites and parasite killing remedies.

I believe that African doctors and herbalist have far more experience with

parasites, then what I have.

Healthy regards from frozen Norway (-1C in Oslo). Even parasites are frozen

in this country :-)

(I would love to feel a little of Afrikan sun, now).

Hi-

I recently joined this list. I have psychomotor seizures-I've been taking

Dilantin 100mg. TID since I was 19 (I'm now 39). Since I starting taking my

medicine, life completely turned around for me.

I withdrew eight semesters in a row from college, but after I got my

medicine, I stopped drinking (drinking was my medication, and THAT caused

another problem...), gave birth to a beautiful daughter when I was 25, got

my driver's license back, and earned a BA degree when I was 29.

The symptoms of a psychomotor seizure rival a panic attack; I belong to

two panic attack lists, but it's very despairing. It seems no one wants to

get any better, and they want to continue suffering with panic attacks. A

panic attack just might be a seizure, but my mentioning that has been

ignored.

I was so glad to find this list! I plan on going to medical school, and I

find the brain is fascinating. Right now, I'm also taking Impramine 50 mg

(impramine is the generic form of Tofranil). When I was 19 and began taking

Dilantin, I also took Phenobarbital. I stopped after seven years (with a

doctor's guidance). I've found that every ten years, I become depressed and

need to take Tofranil. But that's another story.

Would like to hear from others with epilepsy-Also, my maternal

grandfather was gassed with mustard gas during World War I in France. Since

mustard gas affects the nervous system, I always thought this was related.

But also, my father was in World War II and on clean-up detail for Nagasaki

after the US dropped the bomb. So I guess it's a double whammy.

Becky

>From: Dusan Stojkovic <dusan@...>

[Guest guest]

You're in my thoughts-

What does the military have to say about it? Can he receive disability

and services at a VA Hospital because of the seizure disorder?

My grandfather was in Walter Hospital after World War I. he was

gassed with mustard gas. Was your husband exposed to mustard gas in any

form?

I also have a friend who served in Desert Storm and she's had 13

surgeries. She was in so much pain, but with the last operation, they put a

pump in her body that releases the pain medication when it's needed. 6

lesions have mysteriously appeared on her brain, and her vertebrae are

disintegrating one by one.

Dad was in World War II and on clean-up detail shortly (DAYS after...)

after the U.S. dropped the bomb in Nagasaki.

Seizures are mostly a symptom of something else. My brother had a brain

tumor removed about ten years ago; we've never had anything like that happen

in our family. Nor does anyone have epilepsy, and I have psychomotor

seizures.

We have a strong military tradition in our family, (I'm directly

descended from SEVEN Revolutionary War soldiers) and I have a hunch that my

epilepsy was caused by something Dad or my grandfather experienced during

service. No scientific proof, just a hunch.

I hope everything works out for you-

Hi Cheri,

Your husband should stop eating foods containing sugar and aspartame.

Try also to get Bob Becks Silver pulser and also Dr.Hulda Parasite

killing herbs.

Your husband may have parasites larvae in his brain.

Parasites and seizures :

_______________________________________

Symptoms:

seizures, mental disturbances, focal neurologic deficits, and signs of a

space-occupying intracerebral lesion.

is_page1.htm

Cysticercosis

[Taenia solium] [Taenia spp.]

(Tapeworm)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Causal Agent:

The cestode (tapeworm) Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) is the main cause of

human cysticercosis. In addition, other Taenia species (e.g., multiceps,

serialis, browni, taeniaformis, crassiceps) can cause occasionally

cysticercosis in various sites including the brain, subcutaneous tissue,

eye, or liver.

Life Cycle:

Cysticercosis occurs when a human ingests eggs of Taenia solium.

See the life cycle of T. solium in taeniasis.

Geographic Distribution:

Taenia solium is found worldwide. Because pigs are intermediate hosts of

the parasite, completion of the life cycle occurs in regions where humans

live in close contact with pigs and eat undercooked pork.(sausagges)

Taeniasis and cysticercosis are very rare in Muslim countries. It is

important to note that human cysticercosis is acquired by ingesting T.

solium eggs shed in the feces of a human T. solium tapeworm carrier, and

thus can occur in populations that neither eat pork nor share environments

with pigs.

Clinical Features:

The symptoms of cysticercosis are due to the development of cysticerci in

various sites. Of greatest concern is cerebral cysticercosis, which can

cause diverse manifestations including seizures, mental disturbances, focal

neurologic deficits, and signs of a space-occupying intracerebral lesion.

Death can occur suddenly. Extracerebral cysticercosis can cause ocular,

cardiac, or spinal lesions with resulting symptoms. Asymptomatic

subcutaneous nodules and calcified intramuscular nodules can be encountered.

Laboratory Diagnosis:

The definitive diagnosis consists of demonstrating the cysticercus in the

tissue involved. Demonstration of Taenia solium eggs and proglottids in the

feces diagnoses taeniasis and not cysticercosis. While suggestive, it does

not necessarily prove that cysticercosis is present. Persons who are found

to have eggs or proglottids in their feces should be evaluated serologically

since autoinfection, resulting in cysticercosis, can occur.

Diagnostic findings

Antibody detection provides a useful adjunct in specific diagnosis.

________________________________________________________

Symptoms: severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, seizures, and

neurologic abnormalities.

Angiostrongyliasis

Parasites and health

http://www.dpd.cdc.gov/DPDx/

[Angiostrongylus cantonensis] [Angiostrongylus costaricensis]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----

Clinical Features:

Clinical symptoms of eosinophilic meningitis are caused by the presence of

the larvae in the brain and by the local host reactions. Symptoms include

severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, seizures, and

neurologic abnormalities. Occasionally, ocular invasion occurs.

Eosinophilia is present in the majority of cases. Most patients recover

fully. Abdominal angiostrongyliasis mimics appendicitis, with eosinophilia.

Causal Agents:

The nematode (roundworm) Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, is

the most common cause of human eosinophilic meningitis. In addition,

Angiostrongylus (Parastrongylus) costaricensis is the causal agent of

abdominal, or intestinal, angiostrongyliasis.

Life Cycle:

Adult worms of A. cantonensis live in the pulmonary arteries of rats and

rodents. The females lay eggs that hatch, yielding first stage larvae, in

the terminal branches of the pulmonary arteries. The first stage larvae

migrate to the pharynx, are swallowed and are passed in the feces. They

invade an intermediate host (snail or slug). After two molts, third stage

larvae are produced, which are infective to mammalian hosts. When the

mollusk is ingested by the definitive host, the third stage larvae migrate

to the brain where they develop into young adults. The young adults return

to the venous system and then the pulmonary arteries where they become

sexually mature. Of note, various animals act as paratenic (transport)

hosts: after ingesting the infected snails, they carry the third stage

larvae which can resume their development when the paratenic host is

ingested by a definitive host. Humans acquire the infection by eating

uncooked snails or slugs, vegetables contaminated with mollusks secretions,

or infected paratenic animals (crabs, freshwater shrimps). In humans, the

development of the third stage larvae is stalled in the brain, where they

die. The life cycle of Angiostrongylus (Parastrongylus) costaricensis is

similar, except that the adult worms reside in the arterioles of the

ileocaecal area of the definitive host. In humans, the eggs and larvae

degenerate and cause local inflammatory reactions.

Geographic Distribution:

Most cases of eosinophilic meningitis have been reported from Southeast

Asia and the Pacific Basin. Abdominal angiostrongyliasis has been

reported from Costa Rica, and occurs mainly in children less than 13 years

old.

Laboratory Diagnosis:

In eosinophilic meningitis the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is abnormal

(elevated pressure, proteins, and leukocytes; eosinophilia). On rare

occasions, larvae have been found in the CSF. In abdominal

angiostrongyliasis, eggs and larvae can be identified in the tissues

removed at surgery.

Well....the military....hasn't said much of anything....his doc put him on a

permanent profile P3 is what it is called and they are sending that to the

MMRB board....so we should no something soon....I will keep you posted...

I am not sure whether he was exposed to anything...but like in Desert Storm

as you know....I am sure it will be kept hush hush!!!

Thanks for sharing your info.

Hi-

The worms in the brain remind me of an episode of Night Gallery I saw as

a kid-while a guy was sleeping in the tropics, a hired assassin came and put

a worm in his ear. It scared me to death!

But this is interesting-what medical tests do you determine there's a

worm/larvae?

What effects do caffeine have on epilepsy? (sugar=Pepsi; I drink lots of

it) No aspartame-In a college biology class, we were warned about the

neurological damages it can cause. And how it can kill a PKU baby.

Hi-

I have my driver's license, and haven't had a sz in years. My state is so

backward on the laws, when I was 21 I felt honest that day an told them I

had seizures, and explained what type they were (I don't lose consouisness).

They WHISPERED " She checked the black box... " I thought, " Where am I? Is

this a state agency? " It took years, but I finally got it back.

It's just part of the discrimination against people with epilepsy. They

didn't ask what the seizures were like, or the duration of the episode, etc.

Nuts!

Hang in there! Are you taking any anti-convulsive medication? I'm very

lucky-my seizures are controlled. Is your medication at the right level? If

my Dilantin is low, I can go into epileptic emergency (a bunch of seizures

in a row). I have to have blood levels run every six months or so to make

sure my Dilantin levels are even.

My brother had a brain tumor removed ten years ago, and he came through it

okay. They can do amazing things today. He went back to work in a few months

after his surgery. It wasn't the money issue; but it was the logic and

operational/analytical thinking that we were worried about. But he does

fine.

Have you looked at http://www.dana.org ? They have identified so many

different types of seizures.

I know you're terrified. Stress can also play a big part in agitating

seizures because it affects sleep, eating, and the immune system, etc.

Relax! I don't know if you're spiritual, but I believe that God doesn't give

us any more than we can handle-that helps me get through EEGs and blood

tests I have to go through.

Thanks for sharing-I'm here if you ever want to talk--

dear, Becky No I dont have a drivers liscense I've never had one.

It scares me to drive and anyone who drives and has seizures who isn't

controlled is breaking the law you have to go 1 yr sz free before you

get a liscense in my state.

Becky I've had 5 seizures this month that I know about.

I have complex partial,absence, absence and Phychomotor seizures.

I go see a neuro July 1st and I'm going to discuss about having

something done for my Epilepsy .

Where going to discuss the VAgal nerve stimulator and I'll discuss if

brain surgery would be another for me.

Im scared to death of having either done and I've done alot of crying .

Becky yes I take AEDs I take 1500MG Tegretol a day 400MG Topamax and

0.5MG Klomopin.

Im in the 30% that's not controllable by meds or surgery.

The doc that delivered caused my epilepsy.

I've had brain surgery.

I've taken 13 different drugs in my life time.

I gave up long ago on my seizures ever getting under control.

My neuro has never found the right drug to work for me to control my

seizures.

Epilepsy emergency is called Status for short.

Sorry I dont mean to sound like a know it all.

I get toxic on Dilantin at 300MG I was on it for 30 years.

what state you in ?

Im in Georgia

Yikes! Why don't you try Hulda 's methods first? Get The Cure for All

Diseases (available in most health food stores) and check out Self Health's

web site for updates on info (which does change as she discovers more). The

lowdown is that epilepsy, as well as asthma (of which I have both) is caused

by a stubborn parasite called ascaris. It is hard to kill, but it can be

done, with the parasite program and a supplementary program using coenzyme

Q10, cysteine, and ozonated olive oil. You must also work to avoid all

toxins, which depress your immune system, which you need in order to fight

off the parasites. Also avoid pets, which will cause reinfection of ascaris.

I have well-controlled juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, which yields tonic

clonics and myoclonic twitches, and psychomotor seizures. However, I don't

like being on medication (Depakote and now Felbatol), especially with the

effects it has on my mental functioning, most notably short-term memory. So

in the near future, I am planning on lightening my work load and

concentrating on doing the parasite killing and cleansing program and then

slowly going off my meds. We'll see what happens. If I'm seizure free, then

I'd like to take an EEG so I can prove to my neurologist the results. (Did

you all see the post from the woman who cured her son of epilepsy this way?

It was about two weeks ago.)

Let me warn you advance that you will not get supported in this endeavor by

your neurologist, so I wouldn't recommend bringing it up to him, because

he'll just try to talk you out of it.

[Guest guest]

The treatment for parasites in the brain sounds interesting, but I'm a

medical person. I'm biased-I'm on my way to medical school and Dad was a

hospital administrator.

If my neurolgist tries to talk me out of anything, I'll listen to him.

S/he's spent many years studying the functions of the human body and the

effect chemical therapy (medicine) has on diseases and disorders.

Is there a medical test to determine if there are parasites in the brain?

I've lived with a seizure disorder too long not to take it seriously

(twenty plus years). Fooling around with herbs may cost me my life, since

any absence of anti-convulsant medication allows me to have seizures, and

too many in a row can cause an epileptic emergency, and death. And I only

have one life.

Herbs used in conjunction with regular trips to a neurologist and

anti-convulsant meds are okay; but expecting to live without anti-convulsant

meds are not an option for me. After I started taking the meds, I gave birth

to a daughter, earned a college degree, (I'm a teacher), and got my driver's

license back. I refuse to voluntarily give up my quality of life that the

anti-convulsive meds and medical science has given me.

BTW, what are Hulda s' medical credentials?

There is NO way around the anti-convulsive medications. I cook with olive

oil, and I still have to take my meds.

If someone cured someone else of epilepsy, then in all probability they

didn't have epilepsy in the first place-where adnormal brain waves are

recorded on an EEG.

And what about the role pets play in relieving stress? Stress affects hte

immune system. And stress is a trigger for seizures. Wouldn't that be

throwing the baby out with the bath water to say . " Eliminate pets! " ?

I agree with you Becky....although my husband has only been " epileptic " for a

couple of months.......(going to see the doc wed to find out more on what

could be causing this) I agree that without the meds my hubby is on......he

could have a grand mal seizure anytime, anywhere, that is very scary. The

Dilantin is security for us....knowing that we don't have to be on guard with

his life 100% of the time. I love my husband way too much to see him suffer

that way.....his life is very important to him and me.....to quit taking his

meds......and replace them with herbs? Isn't that asking for something bad

to happen? Maybe I am not open-minded enough.....although I think I

am....that's just not something I would consider doing.

Thanks for your insight Becky!!!

I have heard of some, but none that I know about in detail that I can report

She has her B.A., Magna Cum Laude, M.A., with High Honors--both in biology, a

Ph.D. in physiology, and an N.D. (naturopathic doctor).

I was referring to ozonated olive oil--not just olive oil. One has to buy a

special ozonator to do this.

He very much did have epilepsy, and the change was shown on the EEG (abnormal to

normal). The story I was referencing seems to be one you didn't read (probably

because you weren't on the list yet). I am going to paste it to the end of my

message. (Perhaps you want to call this woman to verify the results. Pretty

brave of her to put her phone number on the internet, I think.)

It's all on a relative scale. Certainly stress affects all aspects of health,

but some things play a bigger role, e.g., parasites, in contributing factors.

Becky, it's clear that you are too steeped in the allopathic medical model to

consider natural alternatives, but this is a list originated by a natural healer

in Norway, who advocates Hulda 's methods, so please bear that in mind.

Success Stories

Using The Method

Dear Bonnie, May 11, 1997

Our son Trace (Tr- " ace " ) had his first grand mal seizure on his third birthday,

February 11, 1996 (one year and three months ago). The seizure lasted

approximately 3 to 5 minutes and he was unconscious for one and a half hours

afterward. He was taken to emergency and a Pediatric Neurologist was contacted.

Since it was Sunday the Neurologist didn't come in, instead

he listened to Trace's history over the phone and advised that he be started on

Dilantin. This was the start of our nightmare.

Staph Infection At Birth:

Trace's history includes a rough first year of life. He had contracted a staph

infection in his eyes in the hospital where he was born. It quickly spread to

his ears, and at one week he had double ear infections. From that time on he

suffered chronic ear infections and was constantly on stronger

and stronger antibiotics. At nine months, after nine double ear infections, he

had tubes placed in both ears. One month later he was finally off antibiotics

(for a short time). He continued to have sinus problems and was very susceptible

to any illness going around, including strep throat.

During his first year he had multiple high fevers (over 104°), but had never had

a convulsion.

A Dog Bite (A Minor Puncture Wound) and Convulsions:

At 13 months Trace suffered a minor dog bite (single puncture wound) to his left

cheek. Fourteen hours after being bitten the left side of his face swelled

dramatically and his fever went over 105° despite medication. When I picked him

up to take him to emergency he began convulsing. The

convulsing lasted 10 to 15 seconds and occurred twice in a few minutes. He was

in the hospital for three days and on IV antibiotics to resolve the infection.

He did not have any additional convulsions. At that time the doctors did a

series of blood tests to evaluate his immune system since they felt he should

not have reacted so severely to a minor puncture wound. Nothing was found.

From that day forward whenever Trace had a high fever (over 103°) he would

occasionally have brief one second convulsions. When we told his Pediatrician

about this she said: " Febrile seizures are very common and nothing to worry

about. "

When Trace was about two and a half his convulsions started occurring even with

100° temperatures. We were again told that this was " nothing to worry about. "

A Bump On The Head Leads To More Serious Seizures:

A month before his third birthday, January 1, 1996, Trace fell off of an 8 "

stool and hit his head on the bathroom floor. He went completely limp and was

unresponsive, then suddenly his body jerked and he returned to consciousness. We

had called 911, but by the time the paramedics arrived he appeared dazed, but

normal. The paramedics were preparing to leave when

Trace suddenly convulsed again. The paramedic sitting with him on the couch saw

it and insisted he be taken to the hospital. At the hospital he had a computed

tomographic (CT) scan which was negative for swelling and they released him to

follow-up with his Pediatrician the next day.

This time his Pediatrician decided it might be wise to do an

electroencephalography (EEG) sometime in the future - but there was no rush.

Four weeks later Trace came down with a fever of 105°+ for no apparent reason,

and he had over 10 convulsions in a 24 hour period. At the emergency room the

doctors took Trace's blood for testing and scheduled the EEG for the next day.

The fever resolved in two more days. We were still waiting for the EEG report

when Trace was sent home (his blood work showed

nothing).

Grand Mal Seizures:

On February 11, 1996 Trace showed no sign of being sick, but when I was dressing

him for Church I thought he jerked. I wasn't sure, and he seemed fine, so we

went to Church and thought nothing of it. Two hours later, again for no apparent

reason, he had a grand mal seizure.

From that time on his longest period without a seizure was two weeks. At first

the doctors were optimistic because up to this time he had developed normally

and was a very intelligent child. These were good indications. However, we

found out that the convulsions or jerk that he had been having since he was 13

months old were not normal febrile seizures. They were myoclonic jerks which are

not common.

Despite increased medications the myoclonic seizures became a daily occurrence

as well as almost daily grand mal seizures. In addition, we now had to deal with

the side effects of his medications.

Over the next six months the doctors went from optimistic to confused to sorry.

Trace went from our normal three year old son to a child who could barely walk,

talk or feed himself, let alone play or enjoy life.

Five Different Types of Seizures/Over 100 Each Day:

Trace had five different types of seizures: Tonic-clonic (grand mal), myoclonic,

atomic or drop seizures, absence (petit mal) and atypical absence. At his worst

he had over 100 seizures a day. The specialists at UCSF Epileptology Center

didn't have anything to offer and they felt our

doctors were proceeding just as they would.

Some medications would help for a few days or at best a week, and then he'd get

worse than before. We spent weeks on end in the Pediatric ICU since he was

frequently in status epilepticus. They did multiple EEGs including one with a 24

hour closed circuit TV. They did multiple MRIs, spinal taps, and blood tests.

Nothing produced answers.

The Ketogenic Diet Proves Devastating:

Finally we turned to the Ketogenic Diet, a very radical high fat diet used with

children with uncontrollable seizures. We though this was God's answer to our

prayers. We were going to give it our best shot. Our son almost died from it. He

was unable to eat or drink the high fat liquids and foods which are necessary

for the diet to work. He would vomit everything right back up

and finally refused to eat altogether. The doctors and the dietitian felt that

eventually he would get hungry enough that he would eat anything. He dropped

from a very thin 30 pounds to 24 ½ pounds and became so weak he could hardly sit

up - and the seizures never let up.

Prayers and God's Helpers:

We prayed everyday for answers and we had people all over the west coast praying

and searching for answers.

Many people were sending us information about alternative treatments, diets,

supplements, etc. When we would get something that sounded feasible or made

sense we would ask the doctors about it. One friend of ours, Paris, was

very persistent in sending us any information she could find.

" Pay attention! Here's the answer that you've been asking for! "

It was Paris who told us about Dr. 's book The Cure For All Cancers

and the possibility that seizures might be related to parasites. (She had used

the liver cleanse recipe in the book for some health problems she had had and it

had been very effective.)

Because of Trace's dog bite the information about parasites immediately touched

something inside of us. At this time Trace was in the hospital due to status

epilepticus and we asked the doctors if his condition could be caused by or

related to parasites and we mentioned, again, about the dog

bite. They said there was no chance: " Something would have shown on the MRIs or

the blood tests, etc. " We didn't think much more about it until two weeks later

when sent us a copy of a chapter out of another of Dr. 's books. The

book was The Cure For All Diseases ( had found it in her health food

store). I did not like the title and was very skeptical when I began reading.

The first sentence made me even more skeptical: " Seizures are always caused by

Ascaris. " My first thought was: " No way! " But, after reading the whole chapter,

I couldn't shake the feeling that this made a lot of common sense. It connected

so directly with different experiences we had had with Trace that I felt like

God was slapping me in the face and saying: " Pay attention! Here's the answer

that you've been asking for! " For instance, when Trace had been seizure free for

a week and seemed to be doing well, why did he go into status epilepticus out of

the blue . . . two hours after he had eaten Chinese food? He always ate his

favorite Chinese food: chicken chow mein and sweet and sour pork (MSG, red dye,

canned pineapple and pork). Also, he didn't get soda at home, but when we went

out to a Chinese restaurant he would always have soda (Xylene, toluene).

Trace Diagnosed with Lennox-Gestaut:

One week after reading Dr. 's information our doctors informed us that they

believed what we had feared most was true . . . Trace had Lennox-Gestaut, a

relatively rare, incurable and progressive form of epilepsy. The prognosis was

that he would be severely retarded in three to

five years. He was already non-functional due to 100+ seizures per day and the

side effects of the four different drugs he was taking. The doctors said he

would most likely die in his teens to early twenties of one continuous seizure.

All the doctors had to offer were some experimental and/or out-of-the-country

drugs which might slow the process and to attempt the Ketogenic Diet again by

putting a tube into his stomach. We couldn't accept this.

An Avenue of Hope Leads To Success:

I tracked down Dr. and called her clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. I was able to

talk directly to Dr. . I told her my son's condition, his diagnosis and

prognosis. She said: " Bring him down immediately. " I asked her: " Do you think

you can help him? " She said: " I think I can cure him,

bring him down. " Faced with doctors who didn't think they could do anything for

Trace and one who said she could cure him, we felt it was pretty obvious what we

should do.

Nevertheless, we were scared. Especially about taking a sick child into Mexico -

we had heard that Tijuana was not the most honest or the cleanest place in the

world. We got lots of different opinions about what we were about to do from

friends, family and especially Trace's doctors.

The people who had seen Trace at his worst understood why we had to pursue this

avenue of hope. Even Trace's Neurologist supported us. He didn't believe it

would work but he said he would probably do the same if it were his child.

The first day we went to the clinic we were relieved by its appearance and

location. Trace had a blood test and a technician took a saliva sample for

Syncrometer testing (Trace refused to be probed so all Syncrometer testing was

done using his saliva). We talked with many patients already being treated -

mainly for cancer. The stories were amazing - all of Dr. 's

patients were dramatically better or even cured.

The second day we saw Dr. . She reviewed and compared the Syncrometer and

blood tests. She told us what was wrong with Trace and what needed to be done to

correct it. She wrote out a whole list of things we needed to do. She tested my

husband and me for Ascaris and we were both positive. (Before we left for

Mexico, on Dr. 's instructions by phone, we had

given away our dog and steam cleaned our carpets.)

We left her office completely overwhelmed. The scariest thing was that she told

us Trace would have to come off of all of his medication (because it was

contaminated with benzene and was killing his liver). We returned home with a

Zapper and all the supplements that Dr. told

us to get. Two days later we saw our Neurologist. He reviewed Dr. 's tests

and recommendations. Her blood test checked out against his and, in his opinion,

nothing Dr. recommended seemed dangerous - except stopping the

medications. But, since they didn't seem to be doing much good anyway, he gave

us a conservative schedule for tapering Trace off all of

his medications.

We started Trace zapping (7 minutes on and 20 minutes off, three consecutive

times, repeated once a day) and taking ½ teaspoon of Black Walnut Tincture Extra

Strength in ½ a glass of water twice a week. (This regime is to be continued for

two years.) During the first week Trace's

seizures got worse, especially when we began reducing his medication. The first

dramatic improvement we noted was when we began giving Trace taurine three times

a day. This seemed to reduce the drop seizures and myoclonic jerks. Over the

next two weeks Trace went from 100+ seizures per day to seizure-free!! His

nighttime and early morning seizures were the last to go.

Herbal Modifications:

Even though cloves and wormwood capsules were not appropriate for Trace both my

husband and I were instructed to take them. My husband does not take the Black

Walnut Tincture because it contains alcohol, but I take it, and we are both

zapping.

Syncrometer Investigation Proves Successful:

When attending the Syncrometer class I had one of Trace's stuffed animals

tested. It tested positive for toluene, a solvent highly toxic to the brain.

Trace slept with stuffed animals all over his bed. The day I returned home from

the Syncrometer class we removed all stuffed animals

from his room - and that was his first night seizure-free!

Temporary Setbacks:

Trace went 25 days seizure-free and during that time we were able to eliminate

two medications. Then, on the 23rd day, before we could stop him, he hugged a

dog. He put his face right in the dog's fur and gave him a big hug. We zapped

him that night and the next night, but he woke up the following morning with a

grand mal seizure. We asked ourselves: " Why didn't the Zapper stop the parasites

from returning to the brain? " We speculated that since Trace had a chronic runny

nose that possibly the parasites were shielded in his fluid-filled sinuses. Dr.

reports that it takes as little as two days for Ascaris eggs to hatch and

the microscopic larva to travel back to the seizure center of the brain.

Trace had one other relapse 15 days following the first. It occurred two days

after a visit to his Pediatric Neurologist. At the Neurologist's office, while

waiting in the waiting room, he played on the floor with other children who have

seizures - and they were all handling the same toys. This second relapse

resulted in the most violent grand mal seizure he ever had. However, with

multiple zapping and administering Black Walnut Tincture Extra Strength, he was

back to normal by 2 pm (after waking up with the seizure that morning).

Both relapses occurred less than two days after Trace was exposed to likely

parasite egg-carriers and we believe the parasite eggs hatched and reached his

brain in less than two days because of his fluid-filled sinuses being directly

in front of his brain.

Trace has now been seizure-free and medication-free for ten months. He has no

apparent deficits or delays. His chronic runny nose resolved three days after

his last dose of anti-seizure medication.

During the past 10 months Trace got sick one time and we discovered it was

because our Zapper was broken. His fever went to 104°, but he didn't have a

single twitch, let alone a seizure.

We have learned to give Trace a dose of Black Walnut Tincture Extra Strength

after exposure to animals or situations which are high risk for parasites, and

then we continue from there with his twice per week dosage.

" Trace, The Miracle Child "

One month ago Trace had an EEG because his Neurologist wanted to see what it

would show. His EEG was completely normal!!!

According to our doctors no child diagnosed with Lennox-Gestaut has ever been

seizure-free, medication-free, or had normal development and a normal EEG

before. The doctors call Trace " The Miracle Child. " We know God blessed us with

a miracle and Dr. was His tool.

Through hearing about our experience many other people have produced dramatic

changes in their health by pursuing Dr. 's methods. Among the people

following Dr. 's methods, after hearing about Trace, are two other patients

of our Neurologist. One was given our number by the Neurologist himself. We

dearly thank Dr. for all she has done.

Neways, A Company With Carcinogen Free/Solvent-Free Personal Care Products:

Our life has recently become a little easier, in regard to following Dr. 's

instructions for a solvent-free life. We were introduced to a company named

Neways that claims to make carcinogen-free and solvent-free health and personal

care products. I was, of course, very skeptical of this since many products

claiming to be natural or pure had failed testing with

my Syncrometer. A friend gave me samples of Neways' shampoos, body washes,

toothpaste and multipurpose cleaners. I tested them with my Syncrometer and they

tested clean. Not completely confident with my own results, I sent six of their

products to be tested by Carmen Myers at the Self Health Resource Center. Five

out of the six tested completely clean. The sixth Carmen felt

might have a trace amount of tetrazine (a yellow food coloring). Tetrazine is

not associated with any specific health problem but Dr. advises against it

because it is difficult for the kidneys to eliminate. Carmen's tests were not

conclusive for tetrazine, but I contacted the company anyway

to ask about it. They assured me that no dyes are used in processing their

products. I am inclined to trust them because of the purity of their other

products. I have been thrilled to find such pure products. Dr. has been

invited to the Neways' plant to test all their products. Hopefully she

will do this soon.

The five completely pure products are:

1. Maximol Solutions - a colloidal mineral solution with vitamins, amino acids

and enzymes.

2. Silken Mild Family Shampoo

3. Purge - a parasite cleanse formula

4. Radiance - a tooth paste that also whitens

5. Eliminator - a mouthwash and multipurpose antibacterial, antimold, antifungal

cleaner

The Product with a slight possibility of Tetrazine but otherwise pure:

1. Revenol - a super antioxidant containing pycnogenol from pine bark and

grapeseed extract

[Guest guest]

If I ever started fooling around with herbs stopped taking my meds I'd

going into status it would kill me.

I use to be a volunteer at the epilepsy foundation and I've read up on

Epilepsy in my 35 years of having it.

I dont believe in health food stores be able to cure me.

I talked with my primary care doc once about taking certain vitamin it

hadn't been approved by the FDA and I don't know how it would react to

meds.

People all over the world have brain surgery all the time.

I don't beleive Epilepsy can be cured .

My hubby had brain surgery in 1972 his seizueres stopped.

My seizures where caused by doctor who delivered me he delivered me

forceps the presure on my brain is what did it to me.

I'll do what I think is right to try get my seizures stopped.

I have Absence,Phychomotor,and Complex partial seizures.

If someone else's seizures are controlled thats great.

>We left her office completely overwhelmed. The scariest thing was that she

>with a

>Zapper and all the supplements that Dr. told

>nothing Dr. recommended seemed dangerous - except stopping the

>gave

>us a conservative schedule for tapering Trace off all of

>

>We started Trace zapping (7 minutes on and 20 minutes off, three

>consecutive

>times, repeated once a day) and taking ½ teaspoon of Black Walnut Tincture

>Extra

>Strength in ½ a glass of water twice a week. (This regime is to be

>a day. This seemed to reduce the drop seizures and myoclonic jerks. Over

>the

>next two weeks Trace went from 100+ seizures per day to seizure-free!! His

>nighttime and early morning seizures were the last to go.

>

>Herbal Modifications:

>Even though cloves and wormwood capsules were not appropriate for Trace

>both my

>husband and I were instructed to take them. My husband does not take the

>Black

>Walnut Tincture because it contains alcohol, but I take it, and we are both

>zapping.

>

>Syncrometer Investigation Proves Successful:

>

>When attending the Syncrometer class I had one of Trace's stuffed animals

>Trace slept with stuffed animals all over his bed. The day I returned home

>from

>from his room - and that was his first night seizure-free!

>

>Temporary Setbacks:

>Trace went 25 days seizure-free and during that time we were able to

>two medications. Then, on the 23rd day, before we could stop him, he hugged

>a

>dog. He put his face right in the dog's fur and gave him a big hug. We

>with a

>grand mal seizure. We asked ourselves: " Why didn't the Zapper stop the

Hi Leona

Welcome to the group, you will find Liverserve members to be both

friendly and helpful.. I live in Melbourne, have children older than

yourself, and have been diagnosed with AIH for eighteen months now;

thankfully I have responded well to the medication., Prednisone and

Imuran, are the two main drugs for the treatment of Autioimmune

Hepatitis, and most people seem to remain on a maintenance dose for

the rest of their lives which helps control their liver disease.

Leona you seem to have had bad luck regarding your health, I do hope

you start getting better real soon. I haven't heard of anyone with AIH

who has suffered with diarrhea as a side effect, but there is no one

marker for this disease; that is why it's difficult for doctors to

diagnose. My Gastroenterologist who specilizes in Hepatitis told me

that autoimmune diseases often come in multiples and sent me to a

Rheumatologist, it might be a good idea for you to get a referral and

see a Rheumatologist. You will be checked for other autoimmune

diseases.

There is a young lady who lives in Adelaide who has AIH I met her last

year she seems to be doing very well coping with her disease. If you

wish I will ask her to e-mail you.

Take care an if I can help you in any way please feel free to send an

e-mail, good luck with your treatment.

Have a good day

AIH.

Hi SueB

Glad your back on line. But sorry to hear of your

problems. The new doctor doesn't really have the right

to take you off medication that your regular doctor

has prescribed. Don't accept what he has to say,

demand that he give you a script until your regular

doctor returns. Some doctors cant seem to comprehend

what pain can do to a human being until they have

experienced the suffering themselves. Take care and

try to stay positive.

AIH Melbourne
