About this title

Synopsis

This book covers many areas that other books on the condition have so far ignored, Directed at sufferers themselves, this is a self-help book packed with practical information. The aim is always to help patients cope with their condition and improve the quality of life by reducing or eliminating the use of drugs (medicines) and therefore getting rid of the side effects caused by them. The main aim of doctors, when it comes to treating epilepsy, seems to be to reduce the number of fits that occur. However, many patients are more concerned about the quality of life. It is no use having no fits if the side effects of the drugs prescribed mean that the patient is asleep half the day and is dopey the other half. Unfortunately, if doctors treat their epileptic patients in any other way they can get into trouble, or at least be accused of not treating the patient properly. For the first time, sufferers of epilepsy will have the chance of examining their condition carefully and coming to terms with what they can do to help themselves and those around them. The first part of the book is aimed at helping patients to get to know their condition better by examining their diets, causes of possible allergies and psychological side effects of the environment around them. The second part introduces different kinds of alternative medicine, some of them so simple that patients can try for themselves, others needing the help of an experienced practitioner, There are hints and advice on how to use, amongst others, Naturopathy, Homoeopathy, Aromatherapy, Bach Remedies, Mind Control, Spiritual Healing, Acupuncture.
