I think they miss the haystack altogether. If one person is having partial seizures due to an unrecognized food allergy, another having seizures due to an unrecognized cardiac problem, they may both be prescribed the same drug for "epilepsy". The drug may even help suppress seizures initially, but will may do nothing that can lead to wellness, and may even make the problem worse. It is really up to the person with seizures to learn and look for the cause and the appropriate treatment.
