Epilepsy is surprisingly common and affects an enormous number of people, often with extremely debilitating effects on their lifestyle and health. There has been growing evidence that complementary and alternative treatments can play an important part in improving the quality of life for many sufferers. This guide explains the nature of the conventional, complementary and alternative treatments available and includes up-to-date information on the role natural remedies can play in improving or even curbing epilepsy when taken with any existing drug treatment.

What can I say? As a person, affected by epilepsy, I was looking for a book like this one for a long time...For a mere $5, it gives you all the info you need about the disorder in a handbook format (which what I was specifically looking for). It covers both trad. and non-trad. methods of control. It has a few charts (medications, etc.) and aslo a few useful addresses of organizations, who help people suffering from epilepsy. So, I think, you REALLY NEED TO HAVE THIS BOOK as an every day guide.
A practical, clear and common-sense approach to Epilepsy

This book talks about Epilepsy in plain language and explains the treatments and alternative therapies available. It is approved by both the British and American Holistic Medical Associations.Although I use the book as an adjunct to medication therapy, the book also discusses complementary and alternative treatments available to those unable to take medication.This book helped me understand the relationship between everyday living and my seizures. My questions were answered by this book and so were other questions that I never even thought to ask my Neurologist. The author made me understand that I should do practical things: take my medication at the same time everyday, eat and sleep regularly and use relaxation techniques for stress reduction. I had never realized that there might be a connection between stress and my seizures and the subject never came up in my visits with my neurologist.My advice is to get this book for a better understanding of Epilepsy and how you can improve the quality of your life while living with it.
