The term "epilepsy" is used to cover a variety of neurological disorders, normally marked by recurrent paroxysmal actions, caused by a disorder of the cerebrum. Occurrence: Over one million people in the U.S. alone are estimated to have recurrent seizures. Estimated annual prevalence is 6.42 cases per 100,000 population. Cause: Various, including brain tumor, scar tissue remaining from trauma to the brain, or a progressive neurological disease, etc. In the vast majority of cases, no pathological basis for the seizures is evidence - during life or at autopsy. Isolated instances of seizure, such as those created by fever, convulsant drugs, hypoglycemia, etc., do not usually classify the patient as epileptic. Recurrence is part of the symptomology. Symptoms: Depending on the type of epilepsy, symptoms can vary from slight alterations in consciousness (i.e. absence seizures, or "petit mal"), to dramatic loss of consciousness, massive convulsions of all extremities, urinary and/or fecal incontinence, and amnesia of the event. The most advanced of these, "grand mal," can involve convulsions of the limbs which are so violent that bones are broken in the process. |

pilepsy is conventionally treated
by either drug therapy (i.e. antiepileptic drugs include
phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine,
ethosuximide, methsuximide, clonazepam, valproate sodium, or
trimethadione), or in some partial epileptic cases
(about 40%), surgery. In the latter case, surgery
brings relief in about 30% of cases; another third note
a reduction in seizures. Alpha Omega Labs became interested in phytopharmacological solutions to reducing the degree and frequency of epileptic seizures as a result of the work of another herbalist who, herself, suffered from "grand mal epilepsy," the very worst kind. Her online name is Anastazea and her story has been faithfully reproduced on this site, word for word. Having "cured" herself of epilepsy (her words, not ours), with no recurrence now for over four years, her Kavakosh formula is now our recommended herbal supplement for those suffering from this condition. This formula is also effective in treating mild depression. Our liberal Money Back Guarantee applies to these product. |
