Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hi Heidi- One of the other members of the group (- 's mom) mentioned an alternative therapy for potentially stopping seizures called the Ki Method. Apparently, it was researched by a man who had a brain injury and started having seizures as a result so he researched alternative methods of stopping them from the orient. Basically, it is just to hold both thumbs during a seizure and the flow of electricity going thru the body is supposed to stop them. I tried it not long ago when my little boy was having a complex partial seizure just for fun and as soon as I grabbed his thumbs, it stopped (coincidence? Who knows!). Was all excited to try it again since it is noninvasive - and got my chance yesterday during a t/c seizure. Not lucky this time but worth trying. also said this method could become more successful the more you do it. You know - always looking for easy answers to stop these seizures! Hope that answer clarifies things!
