Stroke Survivor Blog

New seizures have been prevented with a natural remedy, and I’m thrilled that we finally found a product that works with no side effects.

Steve, along with all stroke survivors, was prone to having seizures. That’s because scar tissue in the brain created by the stroke creates an electrical charge that can trigger a seizure. Steve had his first seizure on December 8, 2008, about ten months after the stroke. It lasted about 20-25 minutes. He was in the hospital for 3 days, and it set him back in recovery at least 4 months.

Since then, he’s had three seizures within three months. They were not as severe as the first, but each one set him back a little. The last seizure came only 21 days after the previous one. They were occurring closer together, so it was imperative that we do something to prevent future seizures. His neurologist started him on a very low dose of Keppra, an anti-seizure medication. However, he warned us that that low dose would not be enough to thwart future seizures. He wanted to quadruple the amount to 1000 mg within a two month period.  I didn’t want to increase it because side effects were a concern. So instead, I desperately searched for a natural remedy to prevent the seizures.

In my research, I found a company that offers specially formulated, natural remedies and herbal remedies produced in therapeutic dosage. They also have detailed information on symptoms, diagnosis and natural remedies for ADD, ADHD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, UTIs, Seizures, and many other health issues. They even have natural remedies for pets.

Steve’s been using Epi-Still, a proven anti-seizure remedy that’s used in the treatment and prevention of epileptic seizures. Although he doesn’t have epilepsy, Epi-Still has been working great for him. He’s been on it for 3 1/2 months along with the low dose (250 mg) of Keppra, and he has not had a seizure since March 25, 2009, almost 4 months ago. You can find Epi-Still and other natural remedies at Native Remedies.

The way Epi-Still works is that its natural ingredients support health, stability and harmony in the brain and nervous system. It also supports normal healthy levels of electrical activity in the brain, and helps maintain the health of all neurons and neural connections in the brain. It comes in a liquid form, and I administer 20 drops in a little grape juice to Steve three times a day .

So far, I’ve been very pleased with the results of this natural remedy, because it’s working with no side effects.
