Julie - that is the way my daughter felt too, not good on, or off. Yet after trying four, I had read that the % of chance another would help diminished. We both agreed on a more natural approach - thus I began with nutrition. We had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
How do I know about supplemental amounts. I began with the minimum. I did years of research, reading what others had tried, made notes, kept a binder of information. Tried many on myself with positive results. Had blood work done after, and all are within range or still low.
Ever so slowly my daughter's seizures lessened. I believe it truly is a brain gut connection (unless there was an accident involved or birth issues, though even then... in my opinion it is worth trying nutritional changes to raise the seizure threshold and prevent other illness) For my daughter healing from the inside out, starting with gut health, has cleared up other medical issues along the way. It is all making sense to me. I have said many times but it is worth repeating... our approach was not a quick fix by any means. There were still seizures, but the frequency was slowing down, according to my notes.
What you have mentioned about conventional medicine, I have witnessed first hand. I have never meant to downplay the profession. Most do have their hands tied. However, when you are in the heat of it all... it becomes almost unbearable to deal with. thankfully we are in a good place now, not needing many doctors or tests at the moment, and with my journal and 7 yrs of knowledge we tend to be on the same page most days... or at least we can have an intelligent dialog.
