1. The document discusses treatment and care approaches for childhood epilepsy, including alternative medical science approaches. It provides essential information on the progression and treatment of epilepsy. 2. Treatment approaches discussed include acupressure, shiatsu therapy, herbal supplements, dietary changes focusing on brain-healthy nutrients, and exercise including foot reflexology. 3. Specific diets are outlined for children ages 3-6, focusing on cereals, pulses, fruits and vegetables, soups, and natural supplements to support brain and overall health. Maintaining proper nutrition is presented as important for managing epilepsy.

Getting childhood vaccines means your child can
develop immunity (protection) against diseases before
they come into contact with them.
In 1998, federal public health officials at the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program,
Public Health Service (Pediatrics; March 1998) found
that a causal relationship exists between live measles
vaccine and encephalopathy after analyzing cases of
children who received measles vaccine alone or in
the combination ...

Epilepsy is one of the most common serious disorders
of the brain, affecting about 50 million people
worldwide. Epilepsy accounts for 1% of the global
burden of disease; 80% of the burden of epilepsy is in
the developing world, where in some areas 80–90%
of people with epilepsy receive no treatment at all.

There is considerable evidence that the global
burden of mental and neurological disorders is
massive and is increasing. At the same time, little is
known about the resources available to meet this
burden: information is scarce in the vast majority of
countries, while the information that is available is not
comparable across different countries or over time.

Frontotemporal disorders are the result of damage to
neurons (nerve cells) in parts of the brain called the
frontal and temporal lobes. As neurons die in the
frontal and temporal regions, these lobes atrophy, or
shrink.

Right sided infarction is also associated with higher

intracarotid amobarbital injection but increases after
left hemisphere in activation.

Hypoxic brain injury -A complete interruption of the
supply of oxygen to the brain is referred to as
cerebral anoxia. If there is still a partial supply of
oxygen, but at a level which is inadequate to
maintain normal brain function, this is known as
cerebral hypoxia.

16. NUTRIENTS FOR BRAIN HEALTH
Glutamic acid is a precursor to GABA--the main calming neurotransmitter in
our bodies. Almonds, wheat bran, and mackerel are high in glutamic acid.
Taurine, a calming neurotransmitter that is depleted by stress, is found in
salmon, mackerel and halibut.
Glycine enhances memory and cognition. It is a non-essential amino acid
found in high-protein foods such as fish, dairy, and gelatin from animal bones.
Lipoic acid is an antioxidant that improves memory and cognition, and
prevents neuro-degeneration. It is found in organ meats, collard greens, and
chard.
Oats contain silica, which strengthens the nerves to benefit neurasthenia, a
state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. The silica from oats can
be found in sprouted oats, oat tincture, oat straw tea, oat milk, oat bran, and
oatmeal.

17. FOOD THERAPY
• Natural antibiotics: honey, garlic, myrrh, ginger, citrus fruits. vitamin C increases
white blood cells. vitamin C increases the production of interferon, a substance
that coats the surfaces of cells to prevent viruses from entering.
• Onions
• Coconut Oil – Coconut oil contains a medium chain fatty acid called lauric
acid that lends coconut its antibacterial properties.
• Lemons – Lemons contain two compounds called coumarin and tetrazine, both
of which can help fight against several pathogens. Lemons have protective
effects both inside and outside the body.
• Horseradish – Horseradish was known as an antibacterial food all the way back
in the 1950s. It has been used to help treat urinary tract infections and lung
infections and in Germany is known as one of the best anti-microbial foods you
can consume.
• Pineapple – Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which is helpful
for digestion but is also anti-microbial. It has been used as a mouth wash to kill
invading cells in the mouth and throat.

18. FOOD THERAPY
• Turmeric – Turmeric has some of the most reliable scientific backing when it
comes to its anti-microbial power. It has studies to prove its effectiveness
against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus
aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound that
lends the bright orange colour to turmeric is the same compound that gives it its
anti-microbial power.
• Cabbage – A member of the Brassica family of veggies, cabbage has been
used as a treatment for a plethora of ailments. It has cancer fighting properties,
as well as a high vitamin C content which we all know boosts our immune
systems and helps us to fight off foreign invaders. Cabbage juice is also an
effective remedy for stomach ulcers.
• Fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, lake trout, flounder, halibut and
mackerel, and flaxseed -- a fiber-rich seed variety, provide omega-3 fatty acids
-- healthy fats that may reduce inflammation. According to the study published
in "Chest," anti-inflammatory fats are associated with fewer respiratory infection
symptoms.
• Additional protein-rich soup ingredients include beans, lentils, tofu and fish.
Incorporate vegetables for added antioxidant benefits.

The Spleen, Kidney, and Heart organ systems.
There is clinical evidence that the ear and scalp points, along with the Du
meridian, benefit attention problems associated with ADD/ADHD, and autism.
A good time to nourish the mind is at noon, and a midday nap is beneficial.
Midday is considered to be "Heart Time."
During sleep the brain detoxifies, and adrenal glands recharge. The inability
to rest and recover from excessive stimuli (Heart), fear (Kidney), and worry
(Spleen) with sound sleep, often results in stress-related problems that impact
mood, learning, focusing, and reacting.

20. ACUPRESSURE TO STIMULATE THE BRAIN
Yin Tang: Apply pressure to this acupuncture point that is in between the
eyebrows--a significant point to calm and clear the mind. Some believe it
corresponds to the pineal gland, which links the nervous system and hormone
system for mental and spiritual harmony.
Scalp Massage: This can benefit the meridians that encompass the brain. With
the tips of the fingers spread wide apart, vigorously stroke the scalp between
mid-line and the ears from front to back (as if combing the hair).
Yuan Source Points: These points on and near the ankles and wrists tonify all
the Chinese organ systems. Manually massage the hands and feet, brush
them while bathing; or rotate the wrists and ankles.
Shoulder Rolls: These free the flow of Qi and blood between the mind and
body. Shrug the shoulders then very slowly press them backward and
downwards, then forward and downwards. Gently inhale or exhale into tense
and tired areas.

21. FEBRILE EPILEPSY
Vomiting should be studied and prevented at
all cost.
Vomiting weakens the heart and interrupts the
blood supply to the brain.
Typically, an epileptic child who is suffering from
febrile epilepsy will have high fever and vomiting.
Child will not eat for days.

22. FEBRILE EPILEPSY TREATMENT
1. Acu-reflex therapy SHOULD be given and the same taught to the mother
and /or caretaker, nurse.
2. Acupoint TE17 (between the tip of the mastoid process of the temporal
bone and the mandibular ramus) and Si19 (about 2 cm superior to the
posterior tip of the axillary skin fold. Usage of TE17 was to arrest the onslaught
of the seizure while Si19 was to relax the heart.
3. The abdomen should be examined and if hard knotted areas around the
navel is found it means the Large Intestine is affected. These are energy
blocks which resulte in non-assimilation and indigestion. The same must be
treated with 'ampuku-shiatsu' (Japanese abdomen massage).
4. Acupoints: Sp2, Sp3, Liv3, Ki1, UB57, LI1, LI4 was chosen for treatment. The
techniques involving stimulation of the above points and sequence must be
learnt.

23. THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES FOR EPILEPSY
The Child’s legs must be worked out with Reflexology especially of the feet.
Foot reflexology increases the blood flow in circulation, filters toxic blood.
There are 52 bones in your two feet altogether. There are also 33 joints, 107
ligaments, 19 muscles and some tendons that hold everything together. Foot
reflexology is the best treatment one can give an epileptic child.

These pyogenic infections attack the lungs and inhibits oxygen transmission to
the blood. Which in turn creates an abnormal heart rate (trachycardia). Thus,
the heart-lung mechanism gets affected drastically and causes reduction in
blood supply to the brain. This reduction of blood supply coupled with oxygen
reduced blood causes brain damage.
