Epilepsy
other name is seizure or Fits. It is a brain disorder. It affects the
interaction between nerve cells and when there is sudden electrical discharge
in the brain. The person if hit by a seizure may lose his consciousness, lose
the sense of the body control, panic or irrational fear. It affects anyone,
does not depends on age and ethnicity. Disruption may affects to one part or
the entire brain. Disruption to the one part of the brain is known as partial,
or seizure. If it is to the entire brain is known as generalized seizure.
Partial
seizures are two types: Complex partial seizure and simple partial seizure.
Generalized
seizures are Absence seizure, Atomic seizure, Myoclonic seizure, Tonic- clonic
seizure.
Few things
below develop epilepsy in a person:
· Pre-natal illness that affects the
fetus’s brain.
· Complications occur during child’s
birth.
· Infections such as meningitis or
encephalitis directly affects the brain
· Brain injury due to accident.
· Brain tumor, strokes, drug abuse etc.
Symptoms of Epilepsy:
During seizure, physical changes may
occur, that includes shaking of the body causes by an involuntary repetitive
contraction of a muscle that lasts for a short time. Changes will be in
behavior, emotions or sensations also. Different symptoms can be seen for
different types of seizures.
Partial or focal seizure:
1. Complex partial seizure:
· Different emotional facial
expression.
· Awareness difference
· Arms moving and rubbing hands without
intending.
· Staring.
· Wandering.
2. Simple partial seizure:
· Emotions get altered.
· The way of things look, smell, feel,
taste or sound changes.
· Dreamy state.
· Unprovoked emotion.
During
partial or focal seizure, change in perception is generally differing from
person to person. The above two types of seizure will not have loss of
consciousness.
Generalized seizure:
1. Absence seizure:
Mostly children will be affected to
this type. The movements will be different as compared to the normal stage.
This includes position change of hands, lips smacking.
2. Atonic seizure:
Loss of muscle control, causes a person will fall to the ground results
in atonic seizure. Loss of consciousness will not occur.
3. Myoclonic seizure:
Limbs, mouth, other parts jerking will be incontrollable. Within limited
time it affects.
4. Tonic-clonic seizure:
This seizure will suddenly exhibit. After the seizure person will be
unconsciousness, suffers with headache. Violent movement of the body, loss of
bladder control, loss of bowel control during or after seizure. Breathing stops
temporarily.
Treatments for Epilepsy:
· Pharmacotherapy: Seizure will be
controlled by early effectual treatment along with anti-epileptic drugs will
cure up to seventy percent.
· Surgical therapy: In surgical therapy
there are latest enhancements and diagnostic technology.
Nutritional supplements and natural remedies for treating epilepsy:
Deficiency of nutrients may affect
the electrical activity to the brain. Nutrients include vitamins, minerals and
phytonutrients. Excess of vitamin B-3 or vitamin B-6 can cause seizures. If
vitamin A levels are extremely less can also cause seizures. To restore the
brain to non-seizure state, we need to do quantum brain healing uses amino acid
therapy along with nutrition supplements. To rewire the brain we can use
acupuncture with correct supplements. It is more difficult to treat the
children who born with epilepsy. Epilepsy patient should take small meals
instead of taking heavily. The natural remedy to an epilepsy patient should
stay in relaxed environment. Should do minimum exercises regularly. Once in a
week fruit diet is good. Epilepsy can’t be cured but it is controlled. Surgery
is done for complex situations.
