Dear friends,
My friend's son, who is now 12 years old, was diagnosed with epilepsy 3 years ago. He began having seizures suddenly at the age of 9, a CAT scan revealed a small area of damage caused by a forceps delivery at birth. He had grand mal seizures, brought on by flashing lights.
He was on anti convulsant medications until this summer. He has been off of meds since August and has not had any seizures since then. An EEG done in the fall shows that there is some abnormality, which may subside with time or it may subsist. I hope that he never has a seizure again and that they can leave this awful episode behind them.
Are there any known supplements that may have neurological benefits, which may reduce the likelihood of his seizures re-occurring? Perhaps supplements having anticonvulsant properties? Is there a certain diet that will be beneficial for him?
She is a very close friend of mine, and her son is the oldest of three children. She is very much afraid of what this prognosis means for his future and she wants to do everything that she can for him during his adolescent years.
Thank you kindly for your responses,
Sincerely,
Sharmin
