Hi everyone,
I have complex partial seizures and experience a secondary generalized seizure every year or two.
I have become interested in alternative and contemporary therapies for epilepsy and have researched neurofeedback in some detail. I have a pretty strong background in the natural sciences- BA in physics and BS in biology (concentration in neurobiology) I have recently purchased bioneurofeedback equipment from J&J Electonics, and a new gaming computer (the computer should be delivered in a few days) In addition to the software that came with the J & J equipment, I am getting the "Bioexplorer" software which runs some really cool neurofeedback games. I'm very excited about getting started. I plan to become certified in neurofeedback in the future.
I checked out the info on alternative and complementary treatments on this site and found it valuable. I was not aware how effective the low glycemic diet of the "Sugar Busters" variety could be in preventing seizures. I was thinking that perhaps the Atkins and ketogenic diets work specifically because they are also low glycemic diets, albeit of an unhealthy sort. I was thinking that a combination of neurofeedback, neurobehavioral therapies, low glycemic diet and nutrition could be extremely effective.
I know my cognitive ability has been impaired by AEDs. I hope I can eventually get off of medication. I guess we all would.
Warmest regards,
Ron
