Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Does anyone know if epilepsy can be treated with ldn? I looked on the website but couldn’t find any info. I know it could be linked with hormones and neurotransmitters, and this particular person also has low cortisol levels (low adrenal function). J. Baillargeon, RD, LDN Positive Nutrition P.O.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 LND main goal is defect immun-function.Autism is one such spectrum, with neuroinflammation due to disturbed immun function, often with epilepsy.So in epilepsy with immun function as a possible cause it is also a possbility it might help.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 There is a strong gut/brain association with seizures. This suggests to me an autoimmune issue. Given that, I would think that giving LDN a trial of six months could be beneficial. Cleaning up the diet and eliminating excitotoxins as well as identifying triggers helps many reduce seizure activity. I used Lobelia inflata extract to stop gran mal seizures when rectal diazepam became less effective. mjh"The Basil Book"http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Posted by: " Baillargeon" bbaillargeon@... bre_bai Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:28 pm (PST) Does anyone know if epilepsy can be treated with ldn?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 > > Does anyone know if epilepsy can be treated with ldn? J. B. =========== No, not unless the epilepsy is being caused by an autoimmune disease or cancer. There is a possibility that as LDN works on cancer or helps improve the autoimmune disease the seizures MIGHT lessen or disappear. Make sure the person is not eating or drinking anything with aspartame or splenda. a.k.a. Bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi Marshiris, Splenda is not healthy. We have changed to Sevia. Not as good but we got used to it.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 splenda and any of the other aspartame sweeteners are not good for you. Switch to Stevia.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 > > bren - what's up with splenda?? > > marshiris > ========== Splenda put me in the emergency room with a migraine from hell. I didn't realize it was splenda the first time but knew what the cause was the second time, same reaction. Aspartame caused me seizures for years, once I stopped eating/drinking it all seizures stopped and I was able to come off seizure meds. I tried drinking a diet soda a year later and seizures started up again. Go to www.google.com and type in stevia. Stevia is a great alternative. marshiris, have you started LDN yet? If yes, how's it going so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 no, brenda, haven't started ldn, yet - still waiting to see my gastro dr. will keep u posted, as soon as i do start it!! thanx for ur concern!! marshiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 marshiris You can buy stevia in health food stores, or on the internet. Comes in packets, loose powder, liquid. The packets look like the sweet'n'low packets. Don't think splenda has aspartame, but it does have a lot of chemical compositions, not good for you. Here's a definition of stevia: You can find lots of info on google. From a South American plant called Stevia, this herb has an abundance of positive effects. The whole leaf contains numerous phytonutrients and trace minerals and is much sweeter than sugar with out negative effects. It can sweeten with no calories, no carbohydrates, no tooth decay and is diabetic safe. Stevia nourishes the pancreas and does not raise blood glucose levels, making it not only safe for diabetics but also beneficial. ...www.alacarb.com/glossary.html good luck Arlene -------------- Original message -------------- From: marshiris@... thanx, arlene - i had heard about stevia, but never see it anywhere. does splenda contain aspartame, also>> if so, didn't know it!! what is stevia made with? marshiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
