Hi my name is Patti and I had surgery back in September on the 4th in
2001. I haven't had any seizures since then and am excited about
getting my driver's liscense this year because I am 30 years old. If
anyone would like to know about the surgery I had done to get my
seizures under control please ask.

Hi Gail, Thanks for the info. You know I am so frustrated with this. You are
not the first who has stated that their child was cured by supplements. There
was another lady in California who told me her child was cured by a certain
regime. I spent approx $500 on the whole kit and nothing. Her seizures remain
untouched.
I will read the info, and who knows I may opt to try with this. As I said, I
am just frustrated with the whole thing. And honestly I don't know whose
information to trust.
Thanks again, Tracey

Please read Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis and James Balch
page 352-355.  My daughter had grand-mals at about the same age as your
child. We followed the advice in the book and our daughter has been sezure
free for ten + years now.  Medication dulls the mind nutrition cures.  It
takes time, it took a year and we did it.  It could take less time it could
take more.  But keep records you will notice fewer events and then fewer and
then none.  It takes time and persistance.

My name is Harold, I suffered from Epilepsy for 57years until I had
brain surgery on November 5, 1996 at UCLA Medical Center in Los
Angeles, I am now 5years seizure free!!
I have counselled four young people that were approved for brain
surgery to cure their Epilepsy, All four came out seizure free,
Thanks to the Good Lord and Dr Fried OUR surgeon!!!

Dear Arnold,

I have read your story in the past, and corresponded with you before you
may or may not recall.  I am doing well right now.  I am taking taurine,
B-Complex, and not having any seizures after taking myself off of Dilantin.
  I have found a connection much like the connection you found, between my
tongue disorder Glossydinia and my seizures (both I believe are caused by B
Vitamin deficiency.  The other connection I have found is stress---it
precipitates the seizures and my tongue problem.

After rereading your story again, I noticed your comments about your skin
breaking out.  I have this problem too.  I thought it was because of taking
the depoprovera shot, but now the shot has worn off and it should not be
causing any more problems for me, so I am looking for other possible
causes.  I am 29 and too old to have acne.  But like I said, ready your
story, made me think you may have some ideas for me.  The acne I have is on
my face and back, mostly on my forehead, some on my shoulders.

Any thoughts?

I have had you in my thoughts, did not realize you lived in New York until
I saw your name on the list that was circulating.  I hope all is well with
you and your family.

Subject: [epilepsycured] B Complex and Diet for Epilepsy


Hi Bianca,
I don't know how old your child is, but my experience with onset of
epilepsy at age 13 follows:



I am attaching my story relating my experience with B vitamins as promised.




Cure for Epilepsy Using B Complex Vitamins

Over 21 years ago, in June 1978, I started taking a large dose of the B
Complex vitamins. The dosage was 20mg. B-1,B-2 etc.;B-12 20mcg and folic
acid at 400mcg. I immediately felt more energetic and alive. I had gran mal
epilepsy for the prior 25 years, since I had entered puberty at age 13. In
those days 20 mg was probably a megadose, I’m not sure, today I take 50mg.
because its more commonly available. I had been taking anticonvulsant
medication trade name Mebroin including Phenobarbital and a smaller amount
of Dilantin. I was able to wean my way off the anticonvulsant medication in
July of 1978. I have not taken any medication since, and have become a new
person.

It was a difficult decision to stop the medication and every case is
different, but I feel it is important that other people are made aware of
my experience. In my case I was somewhat fortunate. I also had severe acne
at the time and had gone to see a leading dermatologist affiliated with a
top teaching hospital in New York City about 4 years earlier.. He looked at
my left foot, between the third and next to smallest toe, where I had an
annoying itchy "athlete’s foot" and said that by looking at my foot he
could tell that my skin would be all broken out on my face and my back. He
said I had Tuberous Sclerosis a disease which was responsible for both the
epilepsy and the bad skin I had. He said that the two conditions had to be
treated separately even though they were linked together. He described it
as a rare hereditary disease. He said the Epilepsy had to be treated with
anticonvulsant medication and the acne could be treated with antibiotics.


I was on this conventional treatment until 1978, when they took my
anticonvulsant drug off the market. I was switched to a larger dosage of
Dilantin, then the standard anticonvulsant remedy, which didn’t agree with
me. I began to lose weight at a dangerous clip. My doctors were worried and
the tests said I had high cholesterol. The doctor seemed to focus on food
intake. I began to think it was time to read fully that book "Let’s Eat
Right to Keep Fit" by Adelle Davis, that had been given to my by a friend
who didn’t like the idea that I was taking so much medication. I knew she
had something to say about nutrition, but I never thought it was that
important.

Since at first in 1974, I didn’t want to have to read the whole book, I had
looked up epilepsy and the citation directed me to a page that indicated
B-6 and Magnesium sometimes helped. Well it didn’t. I figured I was special
and it wouldn’t work for me.

Four years later, when I Read the whole book, she said that individual
members of the B-Complex do not usually work in isolation from the other
members of the Complex!!

I went to the Health Food Store and bought a bottle of the B-Complex, I
immediately felt a surge of energy, but I was worried thinking maybe it was
a placebo effect. Within one week my "athlete’s foot" condition began to
clear up. I recalled what that top dermatologist said, these conditions
were really linked together. Now the ‘marker’ for the

underlying disease tuberous sclerosis was disappearing. I was definitely
doing something right. The Diagnostic capabilities of modern high
technology medicine are excellent. It’s just that they are not as good when
it comes to treatments.

I had the advantage of seeing my progress confirmed by medical/scientific
authority. You

may not be as fortunate. If you cannot get your doctor to closely monitor a
trial with a more natural approach, try seeing a doctor who is a member of
the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM).Their phone# is
800-532-3688, their website is:

www.acam.org

They will provide a list of doctors in your geographical area who might be
open to helping you use a more natural approach, including possible
withdrawal from prescription medications.

Since originally writing this account I have come to realize that I
simultaneously changed my diet to include many healthy foods that were high
in the B Complex vitamins, such as whole wheat bread, wheat germ, brown
rice, liver(this was before I became a vegetarian) and brewers yeast.In
truth I cannot be sure which worked the B vitamins in a vtamin tablet or
the food. From what I read now it may have been the food. Regardless of
what we have become used to it is reasonable to say that "good health will
never come out of a bottle" you have to do everything.


I hope my story is helpful to some of you who are looking for a more
natural way of treating your condition. It changed my life and if I can
inspire others who are only helped

one tenth as much as I have been it will help partially repay the friend
who first interested me in the nutritional aspects of health by giving me
that book by Adelle Davis. If anyone wants to contact me I would be glad to
offer any support I can.

Sincerely,

Arnold Gore

back in June of 2000, has gone down from 6-10 seizures a day, down to
1-2 a day, sometimes none per day!!

http://www.theraglide.com/aboutvictoria.htm
TheraGlide.com: About Victoria.

Victoria's Story: As Told By Her Mother.
"The TheraGlide story begins with a special little girl named Victoria.
Victoria, who has just recently turned five years old, was born with global
neurological impairment. Despite comprehensive medical testing, to date,
doctors are still unable to explain the cause of Victoria's seizure disorder,
cortical blindness as well as her severe cognitive and physical developmental
delay. Yet, she is a precious little girl who has taught our family many things
about unconditional love and perseverance. One smile from her can make any day
brighter!
Victoria was my third daughter, third child and she was born of what seemed to
be a perfectly normal pregnancy and birth. It wasn't until she turned seven
weeks old and had not smiled nor focused in at those who spoke to her that I
began to suspect something might be "wrong."

At twelve weeks old her seizures began. Doctors informed us her future was
uncertain and sent us home with her still actively seizing despite the latest
in drug therapy and special diets.

At two years old, Victoria was still unable to come up on extended arms nor
could she maintain herself in an upright sitting position. Victoria would spend
most of her day lying flat on the floor with an occasional roll here and there.
Despite the efforts of therapists and the use of adaptive equipment, she
continued to make little progress.

It was then that I began an exhaustive and comprehensive search of all the
trade journals, manufacturer distribution catalogues, product brochures, etc.,
searching for something that would help her get up and moving. My search proved
unsuccessful. I continued to have numerous conversations with the various
specialized healthcare professionals, hoping that something would come along
that might be more helpful. I finally came to the conclusion that the existing
technology lacked a vital dynamic, a rehabilitative device that allowed
Victoria up and moving, while not being strapped down, into or against
something. That is when I invented the TheraGlide.

Within three months of using the first TheraGlide prototype, Victoria was
showing clear signs of gaining strength and learning balance skills. I
consulted therapists at the local United Cerebral Palsy Children's Center wher
e Victoria attended school and asked them to evaluate the effectiveness and
usefulness of a product like the TheraGlide. Their overwhelming encouragement
and favorable response motivated me to make this product available to others
who might benefit by it as well. Today though Victoria still continues to
struggle in many areas including continued seizure activity and digestive
issues, she has gone on to make remarkable progress and can now, at five, sit
up unsupported, kneel, pull herself to stand and has become a brighter, more
alert little girl.
Though not a cure, it is my hope that the TheraGlide will prove to be a ray of
hope and practical help to many who share this common challenge."

    JULY 2, 1996 Karly was born after what seemed like a normal preg.
She was
a planned C-section. No known problems. She nursed beautifully in the
hospital and at home.  I remember her shivering in the hospital but,
so was I
due to the thermostat was stuck on cold.  At three weeks I saw a
seizure.
Jeff said she was just dreaming due to the fact it was during sleep.
They
continued and I video taped and took it to the doc. THAT started TONS
of
tests. ALL were "normal" at that time. Even the EEG and MRI.  She was
placed
on phenobaratol at four weeks old and that stopped them for almost a
week. We
went back to the hospital for an overnight. (I will never leave her
side) she
was then taken off phenobarb and started on tegratol.  THIS one was
a
nightmare. It induced more seizures (many seizure meds can do this)
BUT, we
listened to the doc and kept increasing the dose. Then her eyes
started to
shake and she was totally out of it and threw up often. She would
still have
just as many seizures.  Then neuro recommended depakote.  This time I
researched what I was giving to her. I found out it is only used on
hard to
stop seizures and is NOT recommended in children under the age of 2.
(Karly
was only 4 months at the time)  It had a 1 in 800 chance of causing
her fatal
liver failure.  At this point I called Johns Hopkins myself.  I got
her an
appt. and that is when we spent a week in the hospital for tests.
(tons)  At
this time she was recommend to go on the ketogenic diet. Karly was a
nursing
baby and never had a bottle. She would not suck a bottle nipple.
Everyone
said when she starts the diet she will be so hungary she will suck
the
bottle. WELL, this is what happened. I had to FAST my then 6 month
old infant
for over 36 hours while I pumped my milk and poured it down the
drain. I
cried and so did she. She would NOT suck a bottle even after 36
hours. We
spent another week in the hospital to start the diet.  We had to
squirt
formula into her mouth that she clearly did not want and she would
swallow.
We left the hospital doing this and I was still pumping and pouring
it down
the drain.  I spent over 7 hours a day for more than 3 weeks
squirting
formula into her for her to swallow and to keep her hydrated.  I also
forgot
to mention that the day after we came home from Hopkins Karly got
sick and we
ended up in Hershey for a week.  This neuo up there wasn't for the
diet and
said it wasn't going to work on a child that young.  He almost talked
me into
canning it. BUT, we persevered.   I listened to Hopkins and kept up
the diet
for four months and Karly was still having the same number of
seizures. At
her worst 50 to 100 per day.  Johns Hopkins was having us wean the
depakote
as we kept adjusting the diet. THEN at the four month mark Karly want
from
100 sz per day to 0.  She went sz free for 9 weeks. BUT, then they
came back.
Not as many but they were coming back. We persevered for 2 1/2 years.
We even
went to Detroit Michigan to see if Karly was a candidate for brain
surgery
(she wasn't) Seizures crept back into her life and ours. Then we
decided to
try topamax. WE did that and weaned the diet. BUT, it did nothing.
Then we
weren't on anything for a while and she was having 3 or 5 tonic
clonics
(Grand Mals) per WEEK.  So we decided to try the new drugs. First
Zonagran.
(last spring it was started)  IT didn't stop the seizures. It reduced
the
myoclonics (brief jerks) maybe. BUT, her tonic clonics (grand Mal)
went from
3 to 5 per week to 1 every day. THEN they kept increasing soon they
were 3 to
5 per DAY. We weaned this med and started Keppra. THAT DID NOTHING.
Seizures
were the same. Then we weaned this one and started Lamical. This one
did
nothing on the seizures. We increased and increased Karly became more
and
more "out of it". Never smiled and never laughed. Eye contact was
decreasing.

I called neuro and said we are cutting the lamictal. We took her off
the
lamictal the first of Jan 2000.  Seizures were the same but, not
worse and
she wasn't on any seizure medicine.  Then in February she had 6 days
seizure
free.  We haven't had time like that in years.  Then they came back.
BUT, as
usual we don't know why or what triggers them.  Just recently she
started
having "tremors" in the arms.  Yes, I have talked to her neurologist
about
this. He has said that we have run the course of drugs and unless we
want to
"drug cocktails" there isn't much to do.
   I have done thousands of hours of research for Karly. There is no
one more
motivated then me to help my child.

     Karly is still severely delayed in all areas.  She can't sit
alone,
crawl, walk or talk.

Read DR Norman Walkers books on juicing.  A company called Salton had
a
machine for making nut butters.  But seriously DR Walker and also
Paul
Bragg's books www.bragg.com, they will send you free stuff in the
mail. The
book that gave us the cure was Prescription for Nutritional Healing
by J.A.
Balch, James F Balch (husband and wife). Also Karly needs music and
deep
sleep.  Even if she appears to be getting enough sleep she may not be
getting
the right kind of sleep.  Start her on liquid Calcium with magnesium
at
around six in the evening.  The kind we used was called absorbeze it
is thick
and orange flavored.  But there is also a kind that dissolves in hot
water,
you can then put juice in the water.  My daughter was cooperative she
downed
six heaping teaspoons of the cal-mag (absorbeze) every night, so we
were able
to give her a big dose. I doubt you can get a child to drink six
glassfuls of
juice in one sitting. Oh We also used taurine but the main thing was
the huge
dose of cal-mag. The brain needs reorganization time, that is done in
deep
sleep, without the deep sleep its like running your car without tune
ups
eventually it will start to sputter and misfire.  Also B-vits in
liquid form.
  Again my daughter was cooperative.  The child can fight you all the
way but
if you are lucky as we were you can get her to gag the stuff down.
My
daughter has been seizure free for nine years now. A seizure is a
jagged wave
length, music is (can be) a smooth wave length. Mozart can train the
brain to
produce the smooth wave length.  There are certain papers on this
which I
lost but its out there on the web. Certain Mozart pieces known to
reduce
seizures. Music, rest, nutrition.  Years ago people rocked their
babies to
sleep. I wonder if that gentle motion taught the brain that smooth
wave
length. One last note excuse me, who is the fool who said people
should eat
calcium from oyster shells, they were never meant to be eaten by
humans.
Absorption is important, the right kind of calcium, in an acid base.

and speech delays as well.  Much evidence is accumulating the the
combo shots are culrpit, as they are the LEAST studied long term on
their ill effects.  And of late, the mercury and aluminum is above
EPA standard of what is recognized as safe for heavy metal exposure.
Most if not all neurlogical symptoms can be started or aggregated by
these shots.  Kids are also getting chrons like diseases from them
even panecephalitis and other things are suspected, even SIDS.  I

Good morning!

There is a great book that just came out entitled "Rejoice in the
Light" by Amy E. Crane about a woman who had epilepsy throughout her
life, went through numerous medications and then went through brain
surgery.

It talks about her life in all the stages of the epilepsy.

I got it from Barnes and Noble.com.  It is also available at
Amazon.com.

If you get it and read it, tell me what you thought of it.

Our son Trace (Tr-"ace") had his first grand mal seizure on his third
birthday, February 11, 1996 (one year and three months ago). The
seizure
lasted approximately 3 to 5 minutes and he was unconscious for one
and
a half hours afterward. He was taken to emergency and a Pediatric
Neurologist
was contacted. Since it was Sunday the Neurologist didn't come in,
instead he listened to Trace's history over the phone and advised
that
he be started on Dilantin. This was the start of our nightmare.

Staph Infection At Birth:

Trace's history includes a rough first year of life. He had
contracted
a staph infection in his eyes in the hospital where he was born. It
quickly spread to his ears, and at one week he had double ear
infections. From that time on he suffered chronic ear infections and
was constantly on stronger and stronger antibiotics. At nine months,
after nine double ear infections, he had tubes placed in both ears.
One month later he was finally off antibiotics (for a short time). He
continued to have sinus problems and was
very susceptible to any illness going around, including strep throat.
During his first year he had multiple high fevers (over 104°), but
had
never had a convulsion.

A Dog Bite (A Minor Puncture Wound) and Convulsions:

At 13 months Trace suffered a minor dog bite (single puncture wound)
to his left cheek. Fourteen hours after being bitten the left side of
his face
swelled dramatically and his fever went over 105° despite
medication.
When I picked him up to take him to emergency he began convulsing. The
convulsing lasted 10 to 15 seconds and occurred twice in a few
minutes. He was in the hospital for three days and on IV antibiotics
to resolve the infection. He did not have any additional convulsions.
At that time the doctors did a series of blood tests to evaluate his
immune system since they felt he should not have reacted so severely
to a minor puncture wound. Nothing was found.

>From that day forward whenever Trace had a high fever (over 103°)
he
would occasionally have brief one second convulsions. When we told his
Pediatrician about this she said: "Febrile seizures are very common
and nothing to worry about."

When Trace was about two and a half his convulsions started occurring
even with 100° temperatures. We were again told that this was
"nothing
to worry about."

A Bump On The Head Leads To More Serious Seizures:

A month before his third birthday, January 1, 1996, Trace fell off of
an 8" stool and hit his head on the bathroom floor. He went
completely
limp and was unresponsive, then suddenly his body jerked and he
returned to consciousness. We had called 911, but by the time the
paramedics arrived he appeared dazed, but normal. The paramedics were
preparing to leave when Trace suddenly convulsed again. The paramedic
sitting with him on the couch saw it and insisted he be taken to the
hospital. At the hospital he had a computed tomographic (CT) scan
which was negative for swelling and they released him to follow-up
with his Pediatrician the next day.

This time his Pediatrician decided it might be wise to do an
electroencephalo-graphy (EEG) sometime in the future - but there was
no rush.

Four weeks later Trace came down with a fever of 105°+ for no
apparent
reason, and he had over 10 convulsions in a 24 hour period. At the
emergency room the doctors took Trace's blood for testing and
scheduled the EEG for the next day. The fever resolved in two more
days. We were still waiting for the EEG report when Trace was sent
home (his blood work showed nothing).

Grand Mal Seizures:

On February 11, 1996 Trace showed no sign of being sick, but when I
was dressing him for Church I thought he jerked. I wasn't sure, and
he
seemed fine, so we went to Church and thought nothing of it. Two
hours
later, again for no apparent reason, he had a grand mal seizure.

>From that time on his longest period without a seizure was two
weeks.
At first the doctors were optimistic because up to this time he had
developed normally and was a very intelligent child. These were good
indications. However, we found out that the convulsions or jerks that
he had been having since he was 13 months old were not normal febrile
seizures. They were myoclonic jerks which are not common.

Despite increased medications the myoclonic seizures became a daily
occurrence as well as almost daily grand mal seizures. In addition,
we
now had to deal with the side effects of his medications.

Over the next six months the doctors went from optimistic to confused
to sorry. Trace went from our normal three year old son to a child
who
could barely walk, talk or feed himself, let alone play or enjoy life.

Five Different Types of Seizures/Over 100 Each Day:

Trace had five different types of seizures: Tonic-clonic (grand mal),
myoclonic, atomic or drop seizures, absence (petit mal) and atypical
absence. At his worst he had over 100 seizures a day. The specialists
at UCSF Epileptology Center didn't have anything to offer and they
felt our doctors were proceeding just as they would.

Some medications would help for a few days or at best a week, and
then
he'd get worse than before. We spent weeks on end in the Pediatric
ICU
since he was frequently in status epilepticas. They did multiple EEGs
including one with a 24 hour closed circuit TV. They did multiple
MRIs, spinal taps, and blood tests. Nothing produced answers.

The Ketogenic Diet Proves Devastating:

Finally we turned to the Ketogenic Diet, a very radical high fat diet
used with children with uncontrollable seizures. We though this was
God's answer to our prayers. We were going to give it our best shot.
Our son almost died from it. He was unable to eat or drink the high
fat liquids and foods which are necessary for the diet to work. He
would vomit everything right back up and finally refused to eat
altogether. The doctors and the dietitian felt that eventually he
would get hungry enough that he would eat anything. He dropped from a
very thin 30 pounds to 24 ½ pounds and became so weak he
could hardly sit up - and the seizures never let up.

Prayers and God's Helpers:

We prayed everyday for answers and we had people all over the west
coast praying and searching for answers.
Many people were sending us information about alternative treatments,
diets, supplements, etc. When we would get something that sounded
feasible or made sense we would ask the doctors about it. One friend
of ours, Linda Paris, was very persistent in sending us any
information she could find.
"Pay attention! Here's the answer that you've been asking for!"
It was Linda Paris who told us about Dr. Clark's book The Cure For All
Cancers and the possibility that seizures might be related to
parasites. (She had used the liver cleanse recipe in the book for
some
health problems she had had and it had been very effective.)

Because of Trace's dog bite the information about parasites
immediately touched something inside of us. At this time Trace was in
the hospital due o status epilepticas and we asked the doctors if his
condition could be caused by or related to parasites and we
mentioned,
again, about the dog bite. They said there was no chance: "Something
would have shown on the MRIs or the blood tests, etc." We didn't
think
much more about it until two weeks later when Linda sent us a copy of
a chapter out of another of Dr. Clark's books. The book was The Cure
For All Diseases (Linda had found it in her health food store). I did
not like the title and was very skeptical when I began reading. The
first sentence made me even more skeptical: "Seizures are always
caused by Ascaris." My first thought was: "No way!" But, after
reading
the whole chapter, I couldn't shake the feeling that this made a lot
of common sense. It connected so directly with different experiences
we had had with Trace that I felt like God was slapping me in
the face and saying: "Pay attention! Here's the answer that you've
been asking for!" For instance, when Trace had been seizure free for
a
week and seemed to be doing well, why did he go into status
epilepticus out of the blue . . . two hours after he had eaten
Chinese
food? He always ate his favorite Chinese food: chicken chow mein and
sweet and sour pork (MSG, red dye, canned pineapple and pork). Also,
he didn't get soda at home, but whenwe went out to a Chinese
restaurant he would always have soda (Xylene,toluene).

Trace Diagnosed with Lennox-Gestaut:

One week after reading Dr. Clark's information our doctors informed
us
thatthey believed what we had feared most was true . . . Trace had
Lennox-Gestaut, a relatively rare, incurable and progressive form of
epilepsy. The prognosis was that he would be severely retarded in
three to five years. He was already non-functional due to 100+
seizures per day and the side effects of the four different drugs he
was taking. The doctors said he would most likely die in his teens to
early twenties of one continuous seizure.

All the doctors had to offer were some experimental and/or
out-of-the-country drugs which might slow the process and to attempt
the Ketogenic Diet again by putting a tube into his stomach. We
couldn't accept this.

An Avenue of Hope Leads To Success:

I tracked down Dr. Clark and called her clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. I
was able to talk directly to Dr. Clark. I told her my son's
condition,
his diagnosis and prognosis. She said: "Bring him down immediately."
I
asked her: "Do you think you can help him?" She said: "I think I can
cure him, bring him down." Faced with doctors who didn't think they
could do anything for Trace and one who said she could cure him, we
felt it was pretty obvious what we should do.

Nevertheless, we were scared. Especially about taking a sick child
into Mexico - we had heard that Tijuana was not the most honest or
the
cleanest place in the world. We got lots of different opinions about
what we were about to do from friends, family and especially Trace's
doctors.

The people who had seen Trace at his worst understood why we had to
pursue this avenue of hope. Even Trace's Neurologist supported us. He
didn't believe it would work but he said he would probably do the
same
if it were his child.

The first day we went to the clinic we were relieved by its
appearance
and location. Trace had a blood test and a technician took a saliva
sample for Syncrometer testing (Trace refused to be probed so all
Syncrometer testing was done using his saliva). We talked with many
patients already being treated - mainly for cancer. The stories were
amazing - all of Dr. Clark's patients were dramatically better or
even
cured.

The second day we saw Dr. Clark. She reviewed and compared the
Syncrometer and blood tests. She told us what was wrong with Trace
and
what needed to be done to correct it. She wrote out a whole list of
things we needed to do. She tested my husband and me for Ascaris and
we were both positive. (Before we left for Mexico, on Dr. Clark's
instructions by phone, we had given away our dog and steam cleaned
our
carpets.)

We left her office completely overwhelmed. The scariest thing was
that
she told us Trace would have to come off of all of his medication
(because it was contaminated with benzene and was killing his liver).

We returned home with a Zapper and all the supplements that Dr. Clark
told us to get. Two days later we saw our Neurologist. He reviewed
Dr.
Clark's tests and recommendations. Her blood test checked out against
his and, in his opinion, nothing Dr. Clark recommended seemed
dangerous - except stopping the medications. But, since they didn't
seem to be doing much good anyway, he gave us a conservative schedule
for tapering Trace off all of his medications.

We started Trace zapping (7 minutes on and 20 minutes off, three
consecutive times, repeated once a day) and taking ½ teaspoon of
Black Walnut Tincture Extra Strength in ½ a glass of water twice a
week. (This regime is to be continued for two years.) During the
first
week Trace's seizures got worse, especially when we began reducing
his
medication. The first dramatic improvement we noted was when we began
giving Trace taurine three times a day. This seemed to reduce the
drop
seizures and myoclonic jerks. Over the next two weeks Trace went from
100+ seizures per day to seizure-free!! His nighttime and early
morning seizures were the last to go.

Herbal Modifications:

Even though cloves and wormwood capsules were not appropriate for
Trace both my husband and I were instructed to take them. My husband
does not take the Black Walnut Tincture because it contains alcohol,
but I take it, and we are both zapping.

Syncrometer Investigation Proves Successful:

When attending the Syncrometer class I had one of Trace's stuffed
animals tested. It tested positive for toluene, a solvent highly
toxic
to the brain. Trace slept with stuffed animals all over his bed. The
day I returned home from the Syncrometer class we removed all stuffed
animals from his room - and that was his first night seizure-free!

Temporary Setbacks:

Trace went 25 days seizure-free and during that time we were able to
eliminate two medications. Then, on the 23rd day, before we could
stop
him, he hugged a dog. He put his face right in the dog's fur and gave
him a big hug. We zapped him that night and the next night, but he
woke up the following morning with a grand mal seizure. We asked
ourselves: "Why didn't the Zapper stop the parasites from returning
to
the brain?" We speculated that since Trace had a chronic runny nose
that possibly the parasites wereshielded in his fluid-filled sinuses.
Dr. Clark reports that it takes as little as two days for Ascaris
eggs
to hatch and the microscopic larva to travel back to the seizure
center of the brain.

Trace had one other relapse 15 days following the first. It occurred
two days after a visit to his Pediatric Neurologist. At the
Neurologist'soffice, while waiting in the waiting room, he played on
the floor with other children who have seizures - and they were all
handling the same toys. This second relapse resulted in the most
violent grand mal seizure he ever had. However, with multiple zapping
and administering Black Walnut Tincture Extra Strength, he was back
to
normal by 2 pm (after waking up with the seizure that morning).

Both relapses occurred less than two days after Trace was exposed to
likely parasite egg-carriers and we believe the parasite eggs hatched
and reached his brain in less than two days because of his
fluid-filled sinuses being directly in front of his brain.

Trace has now been seizure-free and medication-free for ten months.
He
has no apparent deficits or delays. His chronic runny nose resolved
three days after his last dose of anti-seizure medication.

During the past 10 months Trace got sick one time and we discovered
it
was because our Zapper was broken. His fever went to 104°, but he
didn't have a single twitch, let alone a seizure.

We have learned to give Trace a dose of Black Walnut Tincture Extra
Strength after exposure to animals or situations which are high risk
for parasites, and then we continue from there with his twice per
week
dosage.

"Trace, The Miracle Child"

One month ago Trace had an EEG because his Neurologist wanted to see
what it would show. His EEG was completely normal!!!

According to our doctors no child diagnosed with Lennox-Gestaut has
ever been seizure-free, medication-free, or had normal development
and
a normal EEG before. The doctors call Trace "The Miracle Child." We
know God blessed us with a miracle and Dr. Clark was His tool.

Through hearing about our experience many other people have produced
dramatic changes in their health by pursuing Dr. Clark's methods.
Among the people following Dr. Clark's methods, after hearing about
Trace, are two other patients of our Neurologist. One was given our
number by the Neurologist himself. We dearly thank Dr. Clark for all
she has done.

Neways, A Company With Carcinogen Free/Solvent-Free Personal Care
Products:

Our life has recently become a little easier, in regard to following
Dr. Clark's instructions for a solvent-free life. We were introduced
to a company named Neways that claims to make carcinogen-free and
solvent-free health and personal care products. I was, of course,
very
skeptical of this since many products claiming to be natural or pure
had failed testing with my Syncrometer. A friend gave me samples of
Neways' shampoos, body washes, toothpaste and multipurpose cleaners.
I
tested them with my Syncrometer and they tested clean. Not completely
confident with my own results, I sent sixof their products to be
tested by Carmen Myers at the Self Health Resource Center. Five out
of
the six tested completely clean. The sixth Carmen feltmight have a
trace amount of tetrazine (a yellow food coloring). Tetrazine
is not associated with any specific health problem but Dr. Clark
advises against it because it is difficult for the kidneys to
eliminate. Carmen's tests were not conclusive for tetrazine, but I
contacted the company anyway to ask about it. They assured me that no
dyes are used in processing their products. I am inclined to trust
them because of the purity of their other products. I have been
thrilled to find such pure products. Dr. Clark has
been invited to the Neways' plant to test all their products.
Hopefully she will do this soon.

The five completely pure products are:

1. Maximol Solutions - a colloidal mineral solution with vitamins,
amino
acids
and enzymes.
2. Silken Mild Family Shampoo
3. Purge - a parasite cleanse formula
4. Radiance - a tooth paste that also whitens
5. Eliminator - a mouthwash and multipurpose antibacterial, antimold,
antifungal
cleaner

The Product with a slight possibility of Tetrazine but otherwise pure:

1. Revenol - a super antioxidant containing pycnogenol from pine bark
and grapeseed extract

          This week's newsletter is an article by Dr John R. Christopher on
the B&B Tincture.

B&B Tincture

Usage
Dosage
Ingredients
Testimonials

Usages
         Ear infection, epilepsy  vertigo , to aid M.S.,  swimmers ear,
stop hiccups and is great to use by drops in the ear with oil of garlic to
clear up earaches, and has even restored hearing in some cases.   Helps in
cases of motor nerve injury, epilepsy, hearing loss, warts and tonsillitis.
Dosage

1.      Ear Infection: If your baby gets an ear infection, try home
remedies before you take him or her to the doctor.  Two drops of garlic oil
followed by two drops of tincture of lobelia or Dr. Christopher's B&B
tincture, plugged with a bit of cotton, often removes the pain and the
congestion.  You can rub the lymph glands below the ears with the same
preparations, or with oil of mullein and lobelia.  Ear infections can be a
result of a systemic infection, or they can point to dietary problems,
either allergies or too many mucus-forming foods in the other.  Examine
your own condition carefully when your baby gets sick.  If the infection
remains acute, take the baby to a doctor you trust.  Even if you do not
purchase the prescription he offers, he will be able to tell you the exact
condition of the ears.  Some parents have purchased earscopes with which
they can examine their own children's ears.

2.      Epilepsy: Putting it into the ears, giving it internally, massaging
the back of the neck.

3.      Vertigo may result from disease of the middle ear (Menere's
disease), from cardiac, gastric, or ocular disorders, from some peripheral
irritations (as laryngeal vertigo) as a precursor on an epileptic fit, in
hysteria, from toxemia (as Bright's disease), from an organic brain
disease, and from unrecognized causes (essential vertigo).

         Use B & B Tincture as follows: place four to six drops of oil of
garlic in the ear with our eyedropper and follow this with four to six
drops of B & B in ear, then plug ear with cotton.  Turn the other ear up
and do the same as with first ear-plug this one also and leave in all
night, or night and day if desired, and flush ears on the seventh day.
This is done by using a small ear syringe and flush with warm apple cider
vinegar and distilled water (half and half) then continue on.  Apply garlic
oil and B & B tincture this same way week after week until desired effects
are acquired.

         Have the patient drink six to ten drops of the B & B tincture three
or more times a day. (This could be done each hour in severe cases.)
Massage B & B tincture on the cords back of the ears down the neck area and
on the base of the skull (medulla area) several times a day.

4.      Hearing Loss: We generally put four to six drops of oil of garlic
into the ears first (with an eye dropper) then follow this with four to six
drops of this special nerve tincture (more or less according to the size of
the ear, that is, age of patient).  It is best to do this procedure at
night, plugging the ears with cotton and leaving it in all night, removing
the cotton the next morning.  Do this routine six days a week and on the
seventh day of each week flush out the ears with a small ear syringe.  The
liquid used (to flush) is warm apple cider vinegar and distilled
water--half and half.  Use a small ear syringe (most drug stores carry
them) but do not use heavy pressure, just an easy rinse.  This program is
done week after week until results are obtained.  With some folks we have
seen the hearing restored and hearing aids discarded in just a few months.
In other cases, this program must be followed for far longer periods of
time before results are noticed.  No two people heal alike, so be patient
and follow instructions, then see what happens!

Ingredients

         Consists of black cohosh, blue cohosh, blue vervain, skullcap and
lobelia.

Testimonials

1.      M.S.: Don is in his middle 30's and has had M.S. for approximately
10 years.  He has been through the whole gambit of the medical field to
ease his condition but to no avail.  Don was always a very active person
and to be stricken in the prime of life to a crutch and many times a
hospital bed was his heaviest burden.  In February of this year I started
working with him after some study in natural healing which included Dr.
Christopher's book "The Incurables."  Don and I decided on a modified
program as outlined in the book.  He received twice a week treatments of B
& B tincture rubbed into the spine and nape of the neck, foot reflexology,
total body deep massage and meridian stroking.  Daily he gave himself a
garlic and catnip enema, a dry brush massage, and at night B & B tincture
and oil of garlic drops were placed in his ears.  He also took daily red
clover and EZ [Relax-Eze] herb combination.  His diet consisted of
demineralized water, increased raw fruits and vegetables and many whole
grains.  He avoided products which were refined and had additives.

         Don is now walking without a crutch.  He can stand alone whereas
before it was impossible.  He feels the muscles in his thighs, buttocks and
lower back developing and he has strength to do many things to his
amazement.  This is only the beginning after only four months of
treatments.  Many thanks are given for the pioneer work done in natural
healing to make this success story in progress possible.

2.      Tumor: I want to tell you this because maybe it will help someone
else.  I have a tumor on my leg (almost gone).  I've been putting the B & B
cotton balls on it, with plastic and tape.  My leg got so itchy I couldn't
stand it, also the skin all around the tumor got lumpy.  Anyway, I thought
maybe it was the plastic but when I didn't use it, the B & B would dry so
fast I was changing it all day long.  This is how I solved it.  I cut a
slice of potato, big around, cut a groove in the slice to make room for the
cotton balls soaked in B & B. I put the plastic on the back of the potato
slice (none of it touching the skin) put the tape (I have a very good silk
tape) on the other side of the plastic to make a little pad, none touching
the skin, then a cloth wound around, holding the whole thing in place.

         This was a good sized tumor.  I was amazed when I would take the
bandage off it would just squirt all over.  Well, I've had it getting
bigger for 15 years, and now its almost gone.  I'm so glad I didn't have to
have my leg all cut up.  Wow, wouldn't it have left a hole.  I don't even
think I'll have a scar.

3.       Swimmers Ear: I have used...your combination of Oil of Garlic and
B & B Tincture for swimmers ears all with equal success.

4.      Epilepsy: A boy 12 years old, was brought to me as a patient
several years ago, who was having severe epileptic seizures and these had
started after the child had received head injuries in an automobile
accident.  I have had success treating epileptic patients up to this time,
by using our basics; bowel cleaning and blood purification, as well as
using antispasmodic herbs.  However, none of the procedures I had used over
the years so successfully, worked at all with this new 12 year old patient.

         One night I sat alone in my office, after all my patients had left
for the day, wondering why I was not getting the results with this boy as I
had with others with the same condition.  I realized that I needed "help"
and so I prayed earnestly that something could be done for this child and
after some time of praying and meditating an "idea" for a "formula" of
herbs for nerves came to my mind.  I quickly wrote down: blue cohosh, black
cohosh, blue vervain, scullcap, and lobelia in a 90 proof tincture.  I
immediately went to the lab we had out in back of the office, and made up
the tincture.  When this formula was given to the epileptic boy patient,
there was an immediate reaction, and before long, he showed great improvement.

Subject: This is my final answer, my protocol for my children


Folks Many have asked me, well Kathy Blanco, what is your protocol for your
children? I finally took the time to sit down and write this so that it may
help your children. Some of you know that I have almost recovered my
moderate autistic, and am working on my severe child. Mind you, I don't
think autism "goes away" but the load of toxins, oxidative stress, gut
problems, immune problems and vaccine injuries (the viruses + the mercury
poisining) CAN BE LESSENED. Taking the load off, as Williss once described
to me makes total total sense. Here is the protocol, mind you, this is my
protocol, this is not a one size fits all, and I AM NOT PRESCRIBING, just a
suggestion. This has been modified and tweeked here or there, since I found
somethings were a NAH and some things a YEAH, or in other words I felt
there was a detox going on or some kind of changes. Many of the new things
I have added in the last 2-3 months. As we all know, autism protocols are
constantly changing and state of the art is tomorrow. Here goes: AMBROTOSE
from Mannatech www.glycoscience.com The grand poopah of them all. Cost
around 90.00 wholesale, lasts around 2 months, contact me for details, or
Williss. Supports immune function, glutathione uptake, leaky gut problems,
cell communication, the basis for health. Phytoaloe from Mannatech-provides
necessary phytonutrients to boost the immune system. Be careful of
overdosing on this, PST kids particularly Immunocal-AT TIMES...I have to
watch this one, it is heavy duty detox glutathion uptake. Mannatech a
better choice, but this did something. I have to be VERY JUDISCIOUS with
this one www.immunocal.com 4 Life colustrum-see any distributor on the net
Pregnelelone-as recommended-many manufacturers Phosphytleserine-as
recommended-many manufacturers SuperNuThera P5p- Kirkman Labs (on net)-high
mega dose vitamins, especially b-6 TMG with Folic Acid - Kirman Labs
Acidophilus liquid Magnesium Taurate-two things, helps calms brain,
neurotransmission, bile production Cod Liver Oil-(note, please see
Williss's protocol, sometimes EPO must be given first) Monolaurin - lauric
acid-low on fatty acid test, great as a MCT oil (search on monolaurin)-HHV6
kids, a must! Olive oil, extra virgin-makes CCK or secretin, bile
production *Of note, please make sure you have done a fatty acid test to
see what your deficiencies are. Lauric acid, olive oil and CLO are Ryan and
Stacy's deficiencies BAR NONE* Make sure kids with seizures tread lightly
with CLO....talk to Dr Woody McGinnis about contraindications. B-12
Sublinguals or INJECTIONS PREFERABBLY...you are on GF CF or AT LEAST CF
L-Carnatine Electrolyte replacement drinks Chewable Vitamin C
Tabs-preferrably acerola based Vitamin E and also EMU OIL for skin (Firm
from Mannatech)-rub on abdominal regions-great for constipation, yes
really. MSM-to add sulphar in the body Epsom Salt Baths EVERY NIGHT-soak 20
minutes, do not rub off water from body Purified water on TAP and BATH
WATER - recommend cfs nutrition.com NO FLOURIDE, toothpastes or medicines
Betain HCL AT TIMES - If I give too much, gastric problems, particularly
good for secretin needy kids SerenAID for mistakes in GF CF diet Juicing
LUTEIN FREE VEGEES AND FRUITS (white vegetables) NO APPLES-makes lovely

At the beginning of November, I celebrated my one year anniversary of being
seizure free without medication. I have been going to cranio-sacral therapy,
and it appears to be working.
My epilepsy is (was) tonic-clonic, nocturnal only and was settling into a
pattern of about one seizure per 10 weeks. I had been off medication for some
time because it made me feel worse than having the seizures.
If there are others who have experienced similar success, I'd love to hear the
stories. Being free from the medication and from the seizures has made my world
much larger.
I know that I'm lucky....

Cranio-Sacral Therapy:
My son was diagnosed with epilepsy three years after he was hospitalized with a
head injury. He was diagnosed by a neurosurgen with benign epilepsy of
childhood with rolandic spikes and was put on Tegretol. What a mistake!!!
Tegretol made him very sick--in mind and body. After months of searching I
found a homeopathic doctor that was willing to treat him. She used
cranio-sacral therapy--the bones in the back of his head were sitting on top of
each other and creating pressure--to ease the bones back into place, homeopathy
to treat the side effects of the tegretol and spiritual psychotherapy to help
him deal with his life. At the same time I found a traditional medical doctor
that supported our decision to use homeopathy. He has been drug-free and
seizure-free for seven months. Our story is a long one--I would be happy to
share the longer version. Email us at tribe.jenkins@...

Hi,
This message was recieved and I felt it might be of interest to folks on

Dear Mr Beckwith
Thank you for your spinner website on cancer and its treatment with flax
oil.
I have read it with interest and given the adress to people acqainted with
cancer patients.
I first came to know that flax oil existed when the ketolist discussed it.
The ketolist is an emaillist about the ketogenic diet used against epilepsy.
About 100 children is in that treatment. As it is a foodtreatment most drs.
are discouraging parents to choose it. But
3 years ago they found out, that they got better antiepileptic treatment if
they used flax oil instead of the standard keto-oil ,which I think is called
MTC or MCT oil.
One after one the parents reported that they had shifted to flax oil with
good results.
Of course some would not try, maybe they had seen somewhere that flax oil
could have negative consequences on health, anyway there was a list fight,
and the 2 major combattents were forced to leave the list.
I myself could reduce my AED, anti epileptic drug by using flax.
Later I did a search and found that cottage cheese should be used for cancer
protection.
I had a supposedly goodnatured brain tumor removed in august 99.
It had grown slowly during many years. After the surgery it was analysed and
they found the tumor of a seldom sort, but with many evil cells. Therefore
they suggested chemo and radiation, which I "postponed".
I have recently had an MRI test of the brain to see what has happened after
my surgery. The picture was good.
Again thank you very much for you website.
yours

-------------------------------------------------

Bear with me this is book length cause Ive never told anyone before and therefor
am not sure which parts to emphasize and which to leave out. Im breaking it into
categories though


History
I had my first seizure when I was 6 months old. Id go for a couple of years w/o
having one and then would have them for a few days. When Iwas 5 I was put on
medicine for 6 months, but taken off cause I turned into a zombie.  Then I had a
seizure when I was 9.  No one ever told me.

About the time I was 11 my dreams would come true (they did come true regardless
of what Dr. Jarjour says!). accompanied by a feeling that I cant describe even
though I searched the dictionary.  I told my mom, but she said she didnt believe
me.  My mom also watched me have a few seizures between the ages of 11 and 14. 
Now you would think a normal person would say hey, this kids got a history of
epilepsy, shes having an aura, Instead of her passive quiet selve shes attacking
people and swearing like crazy, then claims to have no knowledge of the event -
perhaps shes having a seizure. Instead she deemed I was crazy and so started
psych visits. Still the fact I had epilepsy was never brought up.  (I believe
the psych people deemed my mother crazy, but I could be wrong cause she got mad
at them and the visits stopped.

   i never had the great of a relationship with my mom, but this really tore me
away from her.  I knew I wasnt doing what she told everybody I was doing. So i
moved in with my dad.

LAST SEIZURE
  Then on May 1, 1996 I got the feeling again. It came during first period but
for some reason it intensified instead of disappearing after a few minutes. 
Third pd. came and it was worse then ever. I sat on a backless stool with a
marble floor. Luckily we had a sub that day or I never would have left class.  I
asked to go to the nurse for a Tylenol. Must have looked pretty bad cause I
remember 2 girls walking there with me.  I told the nurse very calmly that I
wanted Tylenol and why. She told me to lay down. Apparently she didnt understand
a word i said. I became unconcious and stopped breathing.  But paramedics were
only a 2 min. drive away.  My memories of the next 2 hrs of that day arent in
order which scares me.
    I was aware of the people around me but not what they were doing.  The
hospital tied me down to the bed (cause i was attacking everybody) - I heard my
mom tell my dad to hold me down.

  I do remember going into 1 of the seizures I had that day and it hurt bad. I
dont complain about pain any more. This is my memory, what I saw.
At first I had a vague sensation of my arms and legs moving.  Then I felt a
sharp pain travel up my spine, very fast but very slow. I traveled up my dark,
red tunnel of spine with this pain, my body twisting and turning. I felt my
mouth open, but I didnt open it. I could hear a screamimg that hurt my ears. I
suddenly came out of my mouth and flew above my body. I realized it was me who
was screaming. I saw myself on a cold metal table with 5 drs. looking at me. I
knew they were the cause of this pain.  Then all was dark, the color I saw was
not black but thats as close as I can come.  I couldnt see,hear,think,or feel
but I was aware. I believe that is what deaths going to be like.

Home again
Then there was a week long spinal tap headache and Dr. Jarjour. After meeting
Dr.J I was postive he was interested in me as a person not a paycheck. Also, he
was President of the local division of the Epilepsy Foundation. Ive had alot of
great conversations with him but Im glad they stopped.

At first i didnt understand the big deal everyone was making but about 2 weeks
later our cat Soccer was diagnosed as having epilepsy with complex partial
seizures - just like me. It was pretty scary to watch.

MEDICINE

  When I was taking med, which killed my grades and left me to tired for
homework, I told everyone I met that i had epilepsy.  I noticed that people
above 30 would back away and sometimes leave. Even the ones that told me their
kids had it backed away. Btwn 24-30 the people would get nervous but not move. 
People under 24 came closer and wanted to know more about it.
  My mom always got mad at me for telling people. I dont think shes ever accepted
it.
   I went o bed at 8:30 (i had gradually moved my med time till then cause I
couldnt stay awake until 10. i woke up at 6:52. Came home from school at 3. took
med went to bed until 7.  Every waking moment was plagued by an urgent need for
sleep. On weekends I only got up to take my med.
   That stopped when my med was reduced and now Im completely off. My gpa is
4.0625, lasy year it was about 2.1, and Im taking more classes now.


MY FUTURE

  Aug. 6, 2000 I get a physical to see if I can join the Air Force. Then find
away to thank Dr. Jarjour.


I do hope that I dont have epilepsy now, but I would never wish that I hadnt had
it. It has brought me in touch with many great people, whom I would have
otherwise never met.

Subject: [cancercure] My Cure for Epilepsy with B Complex Vitamins


Rebecca:

While my experience doesn't deal with cancer, but since you askeand you asked
for positive experiences I'm posting this account of my background introduction
to the area of natural treatments for disease.

Over 20 years ago, in June 1978, I started taking a large dose of the B Complex
vitamins. The dosage was 20mg. B-1,B-2 etc.;B-12 20mcg and folic acid at 400mcg.
I immediately felt more energetic and alive. I had gran mal epilepsy for the
prior 25 years, since I had
entered puberty at age 13. In those days 20 mg was probably a megadose, I'm not
sure, today I take 50mg. because its more commonly available. I had been taking
anticonvulsant medication trade name Mebroin including Phenobarbital and a
smaller amount of Dilantin.
I was able to wean my way off the anticonvulsant medication in July of 1978.  I
have not taken any medication since, and have become a new person.

It was a difficult decision to stop the medication and every case is different,
but I feel it is important that other people are made aware of my experience. In
my case I was somewhat fortunate. I also had severe acne at the time and had
gone to see a leading dermatologist
affiliated with a top teaching hospital in New York City about 4 years earlier..
He looked at my left foot, between the third and next to smallest toe, where I
had an annoying itchy "athlete's  foot" and said that by looking at my foot he
could tell that my skin would be all
broken out on my face and my back. He said I had tubular sclerosis a disease
which was responsible for both the epilepsy and the bad skin I had. He said that
the two conditions had to be treated separately even though they were linked
together. The Epilepsy had to be treated with anticonvulsant medication and the
acne could be treated with antibiotics.

I was on this conventional treatment until 1978, when they took my
anticonvulsant drug off the market. I was switched to a larger dosage of
Dilantin, then the standard anticonvulsant remedy, which didn't agree with me. I
began to lose weight at a dangerous clip. My doctors were worried and the tests
said I had high cholesterol. The doctor seemed to focus on food intake. I began
to think it was time to read fully
that book "Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit" by Adelle Davis, that had been given to
my by a friend who didn't like the idea that I was taking so much medication. I
knew she had something to say about nutrition, but I never thought it was that
important.

Since at first in 1974, I didn't want to have to read the whole book, I had
looked up epilepsy and the citation directed me to a page that indicated B-6 and
Magnesium sometimes helped. Well it didn't. I figured I was special and it
wouldn't work for me.
Four years later, when I Read the whole book, she said that individual members
of the B-Complex do not usually work in isolation from the other members of the
Complex!!

I went to the Health Food Store and bought a bottle of the B-Complex, I
immediately felt a surge of energy, but I was worried thinking maybe it was a
placebo effect. Within one week my "athlete's foot" condition began to clear up.
I recalled what that top dermatologist said, these conditions were really linked
together. Now the 'marker' for the underlying disease tubular sclerosis was
disappearing. I was definitely
doing something right. The Diagnostic capabilities of modern high technology
medicine are excellent. It's just that they are not as good when it comes to
treatments.

I had the advantage of seeing my progress confirmed by medical/scientific
authority. You  may not be as fortunate. If you cannot get your doctor to
closely monitor a trial with a more natural approach, try seeing a doctor  who
is a member of the American College for
Advancement in Medicine (ACAM).Their phone# is 800-532-3688, their website
is:      www.acam.org
They will provide a list of doctors in your geographical area who might be open
to helping you use a more natural approach, including possible withdrawal from
prescription medications.

I hope my story is helpful to some of you who are looking for a more natural way
of treating your condition. It changed my life and if I can inspire others who
are only helped one tenth as much as I have been it will help partially repay
the friend who first interested me in the nutritional aspects of health by
giving me that book by Adelle Davis. I subsequently became a rekreational runner
and found it very
pleasant and gave me a new outlet for my newfound energy. I still enter races
and look forward to getting older and moving into a new age group for
competition. I'm not one of the best, but I'm also not one of the slowest either
and i enjoy it.If anyone wants to contact me I would be glad to offer any
support I can.

                            Sincerely,

Subject: Re: Hello everyone

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let everyone know that since I gave up aspartame on 3/10/99 I
have progressively gotten better and better.  I feel like a much younger
person with less pain and more energy.

I still occasionally have a seizure/panic attack but I find it is usually due
to unknowingly consuming aspartame in some form or another.  The most recent
episode was last week when I came down with bronchitis and was taking cough
syrup.  The over-the-counter stuff I took during the day did not have
aspartame listed but I have no idea what was in the prescription cough
medicine w/codeine that I took at night.  I finally quit taking it because I
believed it to be the culprit.  Suddenly, no more episodes.  You'd think that
prescription medicine would have to label it just because of the phenalynine,
but then I guess everybody these days is ignoring that law.

I hope everyone else is feeling well!

Sincerely,

Phyllis

Success Stories
Using The Clark Method

Dear Bonnie, May 11, 1997

Our son Trace (Tr-"ace") had his first grand mal seizure on his third
birthday, February 11, 1996 (one year and three months ago). The seizure
lasted approximately 3 to 5 minutes and he was unconscious for one and a
half hours afterward. He was taken to emergency and a Pediatric Neurologist
was contacted. Since it was Sunday the Neurologist didn't come in, instead
he listened to Trace's history over the phone and advised that he be
started on Dilantin. This was the start of our nightmare.

Staph Infection At Birth:

Trace's history includes a rough first year of life. He had contracted a
staph infection in his eyes in the hospital where he was born. It quickly
spread to his ears, and at one week he had double ear infections. From that
time on he suffered chronic ear infections and was constantly on stronger
and stronger antibiotics. At nine months, after nine double ear infections,
he had tubes placed in both ears. One month later he was finally off
antibiotics (for a short time). He continued to have sinus problems and was
very susceptible to any illness going around, including strep throat.
During his first year he had multiple high fevers (over 104°), but had
never had a convulsion.

A Dog Bite (A Minor Puncture Wound) and Convulsions:

At 13 months Trace suffered a minor dog bite (single puncture wound) to his
left cheek. Fourteen hours after being bitten the left side of his face
swelled dramatically and his fever went over 105° despite medication. When
I picked him up to take him to emergency he began convulsing. The
convulsing lasted 10 to 15 seconds and occurred twice in a few minutes. He
was in the hospital for three days and on IV antibiotics to resolve the
infection. He did not have any additional convulsions. At that time the
doctors did a series of blood tests to evaluate his immune system since
they felt he should not have reacted so severely to a minor puncture wound.
Nothing was found.

From that day forward whenever Trace had a high fever (over 103°) he would
occasionally have brief one second convulsions. When we told his
Pediatrician about this she said: "Febrile seizures are very common and
nothing to worry about."

When Trace was about two and a half his convulsions started occurring even
with 100° temperatures. We were again told that this was "nothing to worry
about."

A Bump On The Head Leads To More Serious Seizures:

A month before his third birthday, January 1, 1996, Trace fell off of an 8"
stool and hit his head on the bathroom floor. He went completely limp and
was unresponsive, then suddenly his body jerked and he returned to
consciousness. We had called 911, but by the time the paramedics arrived he
appeared dazed, but normal. The paramedics were preparing to leave when
Trace suddenly convulsed again. The paramedic sitting with him on the couch
saw it and insisted he be taken to the hospital. At the hospital he had a
computed tomographic (CT) scan which was negative for swelling and they
released him to follow-up with his Pediatrician the next day.

This time his Pediatrician decided it might be wise to do an
electroencephalo-graphy (EEG) sometime in the future - but there was no rush.

Four weeks later Trace came down with a fever of 105°+ for no apparent
reason, and he had over 10 convulsions in a 24 hour period. At the
emergency room the doctors took Trace's blood for testing and scheduled the
EEG for the next day. The fever resolved in two more days. We were still
waiting for the EEG report when Trace was sent home (his blood work showed
nothing).

Grand Mal Seizures:

On February 11, 1996 Trace showed no sign of being sick, but when I was
dressing him for Church I thought he jerked. I wasn't sure, and he seemed
fine, so we went to Church and thought nothing of it. Two hours later,
again for no apparent reason, he had a grand mal seizure.

From that time on his longest period without a seizure was two weeks. At
first the doctors were optimistic because up to this time he had developed
normally and was a very intelligent child. These were good indications.
However, we found out that the convulsions or jerks that he had been having
since he was 13 months old were not normal febrile seizures. They were
myoclonic jerks which are not common.

Despite increased medications the myoclonic seizures became a daily
occurrence as well as almost daily grand mal seizures. In addition, we now
had to deal with the side effects of his medications.

Over the next six months the doctors went from optimistic to confused to
sorry. Trace went from our normal three year old son to a child who could
barely walk, talk or feed himself, let alone play or enjoy life.

Five Different Types of Seizures/Over 100 Each Day:

Trace had five different types of seizures: Tonic-clonic (grand mal),
myoclonic, atomic or drop seizures, absence (petit mal) and atypical
absence. At his worst he had over 100 seizures a day. The specialists at
UCSF Epileptology Center didn't have anything to offer and they felt our
doctors were proceeding just as they would.

Some medications would help for a few days or at best a week, and then he'd
get worse than before. We spent weeks on end in the Pediatric ICU since he
was frequently in status epilepticas. They did multiple EEGs including one
with a 24 hour closed circuit TV. They did multiple MRIs, spinal taps, and
blood tests. Nothing produced answers.

The Ketogenic Diet Proves Devastating:

Finally we turned to the Ketogenic Diet, a very radical high fat diet used
with children with uncontrollable seizures. We though this was God's answer
to our prayers. We were going to give it our best shot. Our son almost died
from it. He was unable to eat or drink the high fat liquids and foods which
are necessary for the diet to work. He would vomit everything right back up
and finally refused to eat altogether. The doctors and the dietitian felt
that eventually he would get hungry enough that he would eat anything. He
dropped from a very thin 30 pounds to 24 ½ pounds and became so weak he
could hardly sit up - and the seizures never let up.

Prayers and God's Helpers:

We prayed everyday for answers and we had people all over the west coast
praying and searching for answers.

Many people were sending us information about alternative treatments,
diets, supplements, etc. When we would get something that sounded feasible
or made sense we would ask the doctors about it. One friend of ours, Linda
Paris, was very persistent in sending us any information she could find.

"Pay attention! Here's the answer that you've been asking for!"

It was Linda Paris who told us about Dr. Clark's book The Cure For All
Cancers and the possibility that seizures might be related to parasites.
(She had used the liver cleanse recipe in the book for some health problems
she had had and it had been very effective.)

Because of Trace's dog bite the information about parasites immediately
touched something inside of us. At this time Trace was in the hospital due
to status epilepticas and we asked the doctors if his condition could be
caused by or related to parasites and we mentioned, again, about the dog
bite. They said there was no chance: "Something would have shown on the
MRIs or the blood tests, etc." We didn't think much more about it until two
weeks later when Linda sent us a copy of a chapter out of another of Dr.
Clark's books. The book was The Cure For All Diseases (Linda had found it
in her health food store). I did not like the title and was very skeptical
when I began reading. The first sentence made me even more skeptical:
"Seizures are always caused by Ascaris." My first thought was: "No way!"
But, after reading the whole chapter, I couldn't shake the feeling that
this made a lot of common sense. It connected so directly with different
experiences we had had with Trace that I felt like God was slapping me in
the face and saying: "Pay attention! Here's the answer that you've been
asking for!" For instance, when Trace had been seizure free for a week and
seemed to be doing well, why did he go into status epilepticus out of the
blue . . . two hours after he had eaten Chinese food? He always ate his
favorite Chinese food: chicken chow mein and sweet and sour pork (MSG, red
dye, canned pineapple and pork). Also, he didn't get soda at home, but when
we went out to a Chinese restaurant he would always have soda (Xylene,
toluene).

Trace Diagnosed with Lennox-Gestaut:

One week after reading Dr. Clark's information our doctors informed us that
they believed what we had feared most was true . . . Trace had
Lennox-Gestaut, a relatively rare, incurable and progressive form of
epilepsy. The prognosis was that he would be severely retarded in three to
five years. He was already non-functional due to 100+ seizures per day and
the side effects of the four different drugs he was taking. The doctors
said he would most likely die in his teens to early twenties of one
continuous seizure.

All the doctors had to offer were some experimental and/or
out-of-the-country drugs which might slow the process and to attempt the
Ketogenic Diet again by putting a tube into his stomach. We couldn't accept
this.

An Avenue of Hope Leads To Success:

I tracked down Dr. Clark and called her clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. I was
able to talk directly to Dr. Clark. I told her my son's condition, his
diagnosis and prognosis. She said: "Bring him down immediately." I asked
her: "Do you think you can help him?" She said: "I think I can cure him,
bring him down." Faced with doctors who didn't think they could do anything
for Trace and one who said she could cure him, we felt it was pretty
obvious what we should do.

Nevertheless, we were scared. Especially about taking a sick child into
Mexico - we had heard that Tijuana was not the most honest or the cleanest
place in the world. We got lots of different opinions about what we were
about to do from friends, family and especially Trace's doctors.

The people who had seen Trace at his worst understood why we had to pursue
this avenue of hope. Even Trace's Neurologist supported us. He didn't
believe it would work but he said he would probably do the same if it were
his child.

The first day we went to the clinic we were relieved by its appearance and
location. Trace had a blood test and a technician took a saliva sample for
Syncrometer testing (Trace refused to be probed so all Syncrometer testing
was done using his saliva). We talked with many patients already being
treated - mainly for cancer. The stories were amazing - all of Dr. Clark's
patients were dramatically better or even cured.

The second day we saw Dr. Clark. She reviewed and compared the Syncrometer
and blood tests. She told us what was wrong with Trace and what needed to
be done to correct it. She wrote out a whole list of things we needed to
do. She tested my husband and me for Ascaris and we were both positive.
(Before we left for Mexico, on Dr. Clark's instructions by phone, we had
given away our dog and steam cleaned our carpets.)

We left her office completely overwhelmed. The scariest thing was that she
told us Trace would have to come off of all of his medication (because it
was contaminated with benzene and was killing his liver).

We returned home with a Zapper and all the supplements that Dr. Clark told
us to get. Two days later we saw our Neurologist. He reviewed Dr. Clark's
tests and recommendations. Her blood test checked out against his and, in
his opinion, nothing Dr. Clark recommended seemed dangerous - except
stopping the medications. But, since they didn't seem to be doing much good
anyway, he gave us a conservative schedule for tapering Trace off all of
his medications.

We started Trace zapping (7 minutes on and 20 minutes off, three
consecutive times, repeated once a day) and taking ½ teaspoon of Black
Walnut Tincture Extra Strength in ½ a glass of water twice a week. (This
regime is to be continued for two years.) During the first week Trace's
seizures got worse, especially when we began reducing his medication. The
first dramatic improvement we noted was when we began giving Trace taurine
three times a day. This seemed to reduce the drop seizures and myoclonic
jerks. Over the next two weeks Trace went from 100+ seizures per day to
seizure-free!! His nighttime and early morning seizures were the last to go.

Herbal Modifications:

Even though cloves and wormwood capsules were not appropriate for Trace
both my husband and I were instructed to take them. My husband does not
take the Black Walnut Tincture because it contains alcohol, but I take it,
and we are both zapping.

Syncrometer Investigation Proves Successful:

When attending the Syncrometer class I had one of Trace's stuffed animals
tested. It tested positive for toluene, a solvent highly toxic to the
brain. Trace slept with stuffed animals all over his bed. The day I
returned home from the Syncrometer class we removed all stuffed animals
from his room - and that was his first night seizure-free!

Temporary Setbacks:

Trace went 25 days seizure-free and during that time we were able to
eliminate two medications. Then, on the 23rd day, before we could stop him,
he hugged a dog. He put his face right in the dog's fur and gave him a big
hug. We zapped him that night and the next night, but he woke up the
following morning with a grand mal seizure. We asked ourselves: "Why didn't
the Zapper stop the parasites from returning to the brain?" We speculated
that since Trace had a chronic runny nose that possibly the parasites were
shielded in his fluid-filled sinuses. Dr. Clark reports that it takes as
little as two days for Ascaris eggs to hatch and the microscopic larva to
travel back to the seizure center of the brain.

Trace had one other relapse 15 days following the first. It occurred two
days after a visit to his Pediatric Neurologist. At the Neurologist's
office, while waiting in the waiting room, he played on the floor with
other children who have seizures - and they were all handling the same
toys. This second relapse resulted in the most violent grand mal seizure he
ever had. However, with multiple zapping and administering Black Walnut
Tincture Extra Strength, he was back to normal by 2 pm (after waking up
with the seizure that morning).

Both relapses occurred less than two days after Trace was exposed to likely
parasite egg-carriers and we believe the parasite eggs hatched and reached
his brain in less than two days because of his fluid-filled sinuses being
directly in front of his brain.

Trace has now been seizure-free and medication-free for ten months. He has
no apparent deficits or delays. His chronic runny nose resolved three days
after his last dose of anti-seizure medication.

During the past 10 months Trace got sick one time and we discovered it was
because our Zapper was broken. His fever went to 104°, but he didn't have a
single twitch, let alone a seizure.

We have learned to give Trace a dose of Black Walnut Tincture Extra
Strength after exposure to animals or situations which are high risk for
parasites, and then we continue from there with his twice per week dosage.

"Trace, The Miracle Child"

One month ago Trace had an EEG because his Neurologist wanted to see what
it would show. His EEG was completely normal!!!

According to our doctors no child diagnosed with Lennox-Gestaut has ever
been seizure-free, medication-free, or had normal development and a normal
EEG before. The doctors call Trace "The Miracle Child." We know God blessed
us with a miracle and Dr. Clark was His tool.

Through hearing about our experience many other people have produced
dramatic changes in their health by pursuing Dr. Clark's methods. Among the
people following Dr. Clark's methods, after hearing about Trace, are two
other patients of our Neurologist. One was given our number by the
Neurologist himself. We dearly thank Dr. Clark for all she has done.

Neways, A Company With Carcinogen Free/Solvent-Free Personal Care Products:

Our life has recently become a little easier, in regard to following Dr.
Clark's instructions for a solvent-free life. We were introduced to a
company named Neways that claims to make carcinogen-free and solvent-free
health and personal care products. I was, of course, very skeptical of this
since many products claiming to be natural or pure had failed testing with
my Syncrometer. A friend gave me samples of Neways' shampoos, body washes,
toothpaste and multipurpose cleaners. I tested them with my Syncrometer and
they tested clean. Not completely confident with my own results, I sent six
of their products to be tested by Carmen Myers at the Self Health Resource
Center. Five out of the six tested completely clean. The sixth Carmen felt
might have a trace amount of tetrazine (a yellow food coloring). Tetrazine
is not associated with any specific health problem but Dr. Clark advises
against it because it is difficult for the kidneys to eliminate. Carmen's
tests were not conclusive for tetrazine, but I contacted the company anyway
to ask about it. They assured me that no dyes are used in processing their
products. I am inclined to trust them because of the purity of their other
products. I have been thrilled to find such pure products. Dr. Clark has
been invited to the Neways' plant to test all their products. Hopefully she
will do this soon.

The five completely pure products are:

1. Maximol Solutions - a colloidal mineral solution with vitamins, amino acids
and enzymes.
2. Silken Mild Family Shampoo
3. Purge - a parasite cleanse formula
4. Radiance - a tooth paste that also whitens
5. Eliminator - a mouthwash and multipurpose antibacterial, antimold, antifungal
cleaner

The Product with a slight possibility of Tetrazine but otherwise pure:

1. Revenol - a super antioxidant containing pycnogenol from pine bark and

grapeseed extract

MERCURY AMALGAMS CAN LEAD TO PARKINSON’S.


Toxicity throughout the body resulting from mercury dental amalgams can also
be a major factor in many illnesses, including a condition of temporary
paralysis called akinesia, similar to PARKINSON’s.

Martha, aged 40, could not walk, her body was rigid, she was subject to
grand mal seizures, and she could barely speak. Dr. Rau’s tests indicated
she had mercury poisoning in her body. Although her mercury fillings had all
been removed, mercury had leeched from her fillings into body tissues. Dr.
Rau also discovered that Martha had 4 impacted wisdom teeth, all of which
were situated on or near her Small Intestine acupuncture meridian and which
negatively affected both her heart and brain.

When Dr. Rau’s dentist extracted one of the impacted teeth, Martha’s grand
mal seizures entirely disappeared and she experienced only minor ones. “We
often see problems with wisdom teeth connected to mental disorders or
epilepsy,” Dr. Rau says. Removing at least one of the problem teeth
curtailed the intense pressure this dental focus put upon her body.

To get the mercury out of Martha’s body, Dr. Rau gave her DMPS infusions.
DMPS is a nontoxic chemical widely used in Europe by alternative physicians
to bind up (chelate) mercury from body tissues and remove it through the
urine. After Martha’s second impacted wisdom tooth was extracted, her minor
seizures stopped as well.

Once the mercury was removed from her body, her body was free to begin the
slow process of healing the myelin sheath surrounding the nerves; its damage
had led to the PARKINSON’s-type symptoms. About 3 months later, although she
was far from being completely well, Martha was less rigid and able to move
more easily, says Dr. Rau. Had she agreed to their removing the other 2
wisdom teeth, most likely she would have healed faster and more thoroughly,
Dr. Rau speculates.

Subject: The soft skulls of infants can be damaged in the birthing process

----------------------------------------------------------------------



The soft skulls of infants can be damaged in the birthing process, leading
to a range health problems later, but gentle osteopathic manipulation can
correct this.
by Richard Leviton



----------------------------------------------------------------------


With the alarming and continuous spread of dysfunction and illness among
American adults in the 1990s, it’s reasonable to wonder whether some of the
seeds of these problems might be sown in infancy—in fact, in the very
process of birthing. According to cranial osteopath, Carlisle Holland, D.O.,
of the Santa Rosa Medical Group in Santa Rosa, California, the answer is
yes.


Among the many infants Dr. Holland has treated, he has observed a
relationship of prime importance; that is, between distortions in the baby’s
skull, often produced by the birthing process itself, and later health
problems, such as colic, seizures, eye asymmetry, even autism. This is
alarming because the incidence of soft tissue injury to newborns during
birth approaches epidemic scale in this country, says Dr. Holland.


Dr. Holland estimates that perhaps 80% of American newborns have a
functional problem with the way their muscles, bones, and nervous system
work together and that the majority of these neuromusculoskeletal
dysfunctions happen in the birthing process. While the majority
self-correct, about 15% require treatment. This underlines the need for
screening because most problems are correctable by cranial osteopathy, a
technique of gentle manipulation by the hands of muscles and bones
(including the 33 spinal vertebrae), particularly the bones of the skull.


The newborn’s skull is soft and highly malleable, says Dr. Holland. For many
months after birth, the 13 bones (or plates) of the infant’s skull remain
quite flexible, more like a thick starch than solidly knit bone. The trouble
here is that slight to serious injuries to the baby’s delicate skull during
birth can produce distortions and deformities in the arrangement of its
bones.


This in turn interferes with the natural flow of energy and cerebrospinal
fluid from the base to the top of the spine. It’s what osteopaths call the
cranial rhythmic impulse or CRI (sometimes known as the cranio-sacral pump).
High-tech brain scans have confirmed what osteopaths have claimed for a
century, that there are regular pulsations or physiological motions up and
down the spine between the sacrum and cranium that are vital to the
well-being of the body. Anything that interferes with this pulsation or CRI,
such as a head or neck injury or skull distortion from birth, can lead to
more serious functional problems and illness.


DISTORTIONS IN THE SOFT SKULL OF THE NEWBORN


There are many risk factors that can lead to cranial distortions in infants,
says Dr. Holland: the infant is the firstborn, there is a rapid or prolonged
labor or a difficult delivery, forceps were used, Cesarean section was
needed, the mother was ill, it was a high risk pregnancy or premature
delivery, the birth was one of twins or triplets, the infant had an early
childhood illness—any of these can predispose a newborn to cranial injury.


This is where osteopathy can make a significant contribution. “Our
approaches are not only cost-effective, but offer a medically-based but
medication-free way to interrupt functional and nervous system problems of
small children,” Dr. Holland states. The reflexes of the autonomic nervous
system play a central role in many problems experienced by infants.
“Neuromuscular reflex imbalances are what cause many of the functional
problems that pediatricians routinely medicate in children. Osteopathic
manipulation can affect cranial nerves and rebalance autonomic reflex
disturbances, thereby influencing the neuromusculoskeletal system without
resorting to drugs.


KINDER THAN SURGERY AND HEADBANDS


The approach of conventional medicine to what they describe as lopsided
skulls is rather severe and traumatic to infants, Dr. Holland explains.
Since about 1992, American physicians have reported a huge increase in the
incidence of infants born with misshapen skulls. At the same time, pediatric
surgeons have performed an alarming number of surgeries on infant skulls for
a condition they call cranio-synostosis. Here the skull plates have
prematurely fused, constricting the brain and forcing it to bulge in places.
The skull may also appear flattened in the back. Surgeons quite coldly refer
to this operation as a “cranial vault remodel”—the cutting and reshaping of
infant skulls. Now some doctors are worried that pediatric surgeons are
misdiagnosing this condition and seriously overprescribing the operation.
Some talk about an “epidemic of misdiagnosis.


As an alternative, conventional physicians favor a $2000 hard plastic
corrective headband to restore the normal shape of the infant’s skull. This
crude device works by applying constant hard pressure to the skull similar
to the way dental braces squeeze crooked teeth into alignment. “Infants and
little children hate this,” observes Dr. Holland. “Cranial osteopathy has a
much kinder, less expensive, and more effective approach.




CALMING SEIZURES WITH THE DOCTOR’S HANDS


Osteopaths who work with children are often criticized by conventional
M.D.s. They say you cannot change the function of the brain by putting your
hands on the outside of the head. But Dr. Holland proved them wrong quite
convincingly in his successful treatment of a boy named Andrew, aged 14
months, who had infantile spasms or seizures. Dr. Holland was not at all
surprised to discover that a cranial dysfunction was the cause.


Andrew was the firstborn in the family and had arrived with a compressed
shoulder which meant that the structural forces on his head were uneven. He
had obvious skull distortion, the sutures between the skull plates overrode
one another, his head bulged noticeably on one side, and he couldn’t turn
his head, and thus nurse, in one direction.


Andrew was suffering 30-40 seizures in quick succession. Doctors at a
childrens’ hospital told his mother that Andrew was likely to end up in a
chronic vegetative state, his life wasted. Meanwhile, the anticonvulsant the
doctors had him on failed to stop the seizures. The first step Dr. Holland
took was to encourage the neurologist to prescribe a different
anticonvulsant because the constant brain seizures kept erasing the
corrections Dr. Holland’s osteopathic manipulations achieved. A new drug
reduced Andrew’s spasms by about 60%, enabling Andrew’s musculoskeletal
system to begin retaining Dr. Holland’s corrections.


Next, by studying brain-scan printouts of Andrew’s brain energy patterns,
Dr. Holland found that the location of his brain seizures matched the site
where his skull was distorted. Using osteopathic manipulation techniques, he
was able to release the constrictions and distortions in this area, thus
freeing Andrew of the seizures. “There was a huge release in Andrew’s
musculoskeletal system. I could feel how the structural forces were
transferring evenly through his neck, up into his skull and down the back.
The seizures completely stopped and never returned.


This pivotal treatment occurred 4 months after Andrew first came to Dr.
Holland. It took 3 months to find the right anticonvulsant for Andrew and to
reduce his seizures. A month later, the osteopathic treatments completely
eliminated them. Andrew was kept on the anticonvulsant for an additional 4
months, as a safety measure. Dr. Holland stopped Andrew’s seizures, although
the child would be developmentally delayed as a result of virtually missing
9 months of his life due to recurrent seizures. But then he wouldn’t be
spending his life as a helpless “vegetable” as his previous doctors had
predicted.


RESTORING THE AUTISTIC CHILD TO LIFE


Many cases of autism also may be due to cranial distortions, says Dr.
Holland. Of the 30 autistic children he has treated with cranial osteopathy,
each had the same patterns of skull distortion. Specifically, this was a
compression of the brain’s left hemisphere, a bending of the cranial base to
the right side, and a bending downward of another bone, the spheno-basilar
symphysis.


Generally, it’s birth trauma that produces this degree of skull
disfigurement, says Dr. Holland. This left-hemisphere compression of an
autistic child’s skull could account for the poor processing between the two
brain hemispheres. The key to success in treating autism that is
structurally produced is to catch it as early as possible, ideally within
the first days or weeks after birth. “In fact, I dream of the day when all
newborns and babies will be checked by qualified palpatory diagnosticians,”
says Dr. Holland. “That way I hope society can minimize the number of
children suffering from potentially reversible conditions.


Osteopathic research shows that 10-15% of newborns have functional problems
that result from trauma, strain, injury, or distortion during birth and
which do not self-correct. Of these, an estimated 5% develop persistent
dysfunction in their body systems. “These figures are consistent with
information about the incidence of chronic illness, learning disabilities,
developmental delay, and other functional impairments of the general
population,” Dr. Holland notes. What cranial osteopathy offers is the chance
to avoid or reverse a great deal of misery in infancy, childhood, and
adulthood that results from distortions in the structure and function of
muscles and bones.


Osteopathic manipulation is becoming much more accepted as a good treatment
strategy for a variety of conditions,” Dr. Holland says. “The importance of
the neuromusculoskeletal system in health and disease is beginning to be
appreciated in medical training programs.
