This was a NOVA program last winter. The text is online. Addressing diet and other issues which are key in triggering inflammation, was a key in learning to control my seizures without drugs. Brain inflammation may also be one of the possible links between autism and seizures. For me, I am quite certain that the side effects of the seizure drugs, which can also cause inflammation, were THE major reason my seizures became worse to the point they could not be controlled with drugs and I needlessly went through a devastating second brain surgery that failed to stop them.
When I took control, via diet, breath training, autosuggestion, and behavior modification, is when my seizures finally tapered off and stopped. The one downside to this was not recognizing how damaging was the diet issues from inflammation. So while my seizures improved I continued to have major GI problems which are improving now with diet and other non drug approaches to treatment.
I disagree strongly with the statement that traumatic brain injury is irreversible because it is well established that the brain is highly adaptable and can repair itself, even from major major damage, such as I experienced. This makes a good point for looking at the role of inflammation in causing seizures to develop over time and as a trigger for setting them off. Gluten intolerance is just one example that’s been very well researched.
