seizures

dnacol

Hello,

Has anyone had any success with reducing seizures since starting a raw food diet? My doctor did an mri and found a scar on my right temporal lobe. Does not know for certain what caused the scar. Any ideas would be helpful!! I am a little worried because I don’t ever recall hitting my head as a child. I have been having experiences with dejavu type auras where I feel spacey and doctor thinks could be seizures. I didn’t know if this diet could help or make symptoms worse?

Petit mal seizures (absent seizures) are associated with scar tissue on the right temporal lobe. They are not caused from an injury, and are mostly genetic. For example, my grandmother, mother and myself all had scar tissue on the right temporal lobes. My grandmother did not experience seizures but my mother and I did. Fortunately the seizures mostly occur in childhood and are gone by puberty. And when I say saizures, I don’t mean grand mal but mainly just day dreaming. You actually lose consciousness for a few seconds but nothing noticable. As far as I know, seizures are not affected by our nutritional status. However, I do remember that when I had a fever as a child, the seizures would be more frequent. If you begin detoxing and get a fever this may bring one on but then again we are not talking about grand mal seizures. Seek your doctors advice before you begin though.

Sorry….I should have clarified. What I meant was foods do not trigger seizures, alcohol intoxication yes, but not food. Especially the kind that dnacol is talking about.
