Suggest Treatment For Seizures
My daughter, age 21, had a seizure at school. The teacher said it lasted for about 2 to 3 minutes.She was very disoriented. We have had an mrs and and eeg done. The eeg showed on the left side of the brain there were 3 or 4 nerves not sending the right electricity. They have started her on medication. I m looking for more of a natural remedy. Doesn t diet and water have a lot to do with seizures? What other forms of treatment may we look into?

Medicines are prime treatment to handle seizure because you told that seizure last 2 to 3 minutes but i can suggest few alternative things that may help you to takeout the child from medications as soon as possible. Brain functional health is the key here to achieve your goal. functional health can be achieved through diet and graded exercises or play program. the random exercises may not be beneficial and strenuous activities may evoke seizure so i suggest you to meet the professionals to get exercise prescription.
i would like to suggest few guidelines:
As per your EEG report, the left side of the brain is showing some problem so strengthening this side might be helpful and mid-line crossing activities and graded gross motor activities are also helpful to achieve the good functional brain health.
Caution: the following caution can be followed during therapy program.
Avoid tiring activities
Avoid combination of vestibular activities and changing visual background.
thank you.
