Is There Anything The Average Person Can Do If They Come Across Something That Isn't Drugs & Surgery To Get The Word Out?

I've been into natural/Eastern/herbal treatments for almost 33 years. After being drugged up for 41 of 50 years with little results and more problems from them, I decided to start looking into this so-called "snake oil".....WHICH I HAVE FOUND IS ANYTHING BUT -DESPITE WHAT THE DRUG COMPANIES HAVE WANTED US TO BELIEVE FOR 100+ YEARS! (There are a few things that have drastically improved my seizures, as well as other issues [like my eyesight] I have been dealing with for decades!)

After digging into this for almost 33 years, I'm convinced that, if we still had the wisdom man was given, there would be no need for drugs for anything. With the risk of turning this into a theological debate, I have to ask;
Why would GOD have left us with nothing originally in so far as out health is concerned? I've heard the "we were given intuition" argument so many times, but my answer to that is; What parent in their right mind would give their child only limited information -especially where their safety or life is concerned, leaving their child to use their intuition to figure out how to deal with the issue without any further help, putting quite possibly their child in harm's way "for their own good"? But that is in essence, EXACTLY what we're saying GOD did when we claim that man was left to figure all this out for himself when it comes to our health! Does that REALLY make any sense? The only reason I'm convinced we have the problems with our health we do is because of the way MAN has behaved & thought throughout time trying to improve on, or even out-do Nature with our science & technology so often. What we refuse to admit is that every time we try we throw everything more out of original perfect balance, which eventually somewhere in history, allowed things like these viruses & bacteria to affect us in ways GOD never intended. (After all, if, according to Genesis, GOD made everything good, how can it be that things like viruses & bacteria have been put here to make us sick and cause problems?? Something is wrong with that picture!)
We need to drop our pride & ego, and admit that maybe Someone knew what He was doing better than we do, and has already given us the answer to things like this. That includes not only seizures, but cancer, diabetes, and a hundred other things out there.

Agreed. I use many many supplements and I make herbal tinctures and remedies for my seizures. I know the standard process supplements are the absolute highest quality but you need to see a practitioner to get them. People should know about these other, ( better IMHO) options to treat seizures.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Thank you for sharing that link. I plan on trying some of these supplements/foods. In regards to doctors, they seem to only want to do medicines instead of herbal remedies.

Author's note:
I'm not sure if it's visible to anyone else, but there is a strange jumble of letters & numbers in the middle of my original question on top. Not sure how it got there. :/ It should read:
