I am sorry that you think I'm here for malicious reasons. I actually do a lot of research on seizures, and other health issues and have for many years because of my daughter's condition. When I was researching about schooling and seizures (we have been a homeschool family for many years and I still teach), I came across this forum and some of the posts, which I wanted to respond to for the purpose of helping others with anything that I may have learned. I was not promoting my website, nor was I trying to sell anything - I was attempting to give some info that I had to someone who had asked a question. The reason that I do any of what I do is because I've been there and I felt very alone. The last thing I want is for someone else to be trying to figure things out and me not say anything if I have info that might help them. I will refrain from commenting again if this has caused problems. I do, however, wish everyone the best in their quests for answers.

Sorry - I wasn't looking at dates, I just came across the posts and shared cause I remember when I was looking for answers and would have loved to have had someone respond no matter how far down the line my question had been. Sorry didn't mean to cause any problem - for future reference, is there a time table 'grandfathered' in to respond to something? I see they were questions from January - should I not respond after a certain amount of time has passed? Just so I am aware of how things work here! Thanks

Because I'm a homeschool mom who has a child with seizures - I was on the forum and saw people asking questions and talking about seizures, so I thought I'd share information that I have. Why do you ask?

You may also want to check into natural progesterone therapy for seizure and/or stroke treatment - it is showing lots of promise!

Check out Dogtor J on line - he is a vet that actually started working with 'human' patients after discovering diet changes that stopped seizures in his 'doggy' patients. http://dogtorj.com/main-course/the-g-a-r-d-the-glutamate/epilepsy-and-the-g-a-r-d/

In my situation hormones and foods were the biggest triggers outside of the initial vaccine injury and subsequent heavy metal poisoning causing the seizures in the first place. Your gut health is directly tied to your brain, so even when we don't necessarily understand where or why seizure activity starts, which is sadly the case most of the time, removing foods that are known triggers can at least lighten the load and burden off of them until you can determine more and/or get to the bottom of things. Gluten, grains and dairy, along with artificial sweeteners like aspartame (diet soda) and msg (food flavoring additive) can all build up in your system and be huge triggers. My daughter started her seizure activity after vaccinations at age 4.5, and she is now 95% seizure free after a lot of research and protocols, and diet changes. I hope that you find your answers and will be praying!

I began homeschooling my daughter when she reached second grade. She was vaccine injured with her kindergarten shots, and began having absence seizures immediately (they progressed into grand mals when she hit puberty). She was enrolled in private school at the time, so the teacher, being a good friend of mine, would keep a journal of seizure activity for me. By first grade, the journal became harder for the teachers, and we realized that homeschooling would be our best option to work with the challenges of the seizures. I am going back quite a few years with this, as my daughter is now 21 and taking college courses, living full time with us in Costa Rica while we run our ministry ... all that to say that homeschooling her (and later on my son as well, just because homeschooling is awesome!), was the best decision that we made. My biggest advice to anyone homeschooling a child suffering from seizure disorders is to be patient and flexible. Make sure they are getting the rest that they need, even if it's inconvenient to your schedule, and to let you know that their diet is cruicial!!! After many, many hours, days, years of research, we realized that gluten, grain and dairy were all contributing to seizure activity. We changed her diet gradually, and saw great improvement with her memory, clarity of thought, energy and seizure activity with each change that we made .... she is now 95% seizure free! Go slow with them if you need to, work around their abilities, gifts and talents, and don't be hard on yourself or on them - we are a testament to the endless possibilities and treating her at home with us was the best family move ever!!!! Blessings to you -
