I believe that we need natural & medical care, I am way healthier physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually with the natural healing. I started to see a functional medicine doctor and that's helped me with alot of my life. My teeth are better, my health is better, my life. I have to pay out of my own pocket but it's worth it. My seizures are better now than ever before with both medical and the supplements I'm taking, plus I'm getting exercise and losing weight

At 17 I tried getting basic jobs shortly after they were able to (so called) stop my seizures & let go of my SSI but had no luck. I got lucky getting into construction & getting my driver's license. But within 3-4 years My seizures kicked back in, I lost my license, was later dropped from the Union, couldn't find any jobs willing to hire me for being honest with them or getting fired later when they found out. But would give other reasons besides the real reason on why I lost my job. I left the city, managed to get a jobs "housekeeping" on the coast. But kept losing those for the same reason. Thankfully, me & my wife kept track of my job history & my seizures. Now I'm on SSDI taking medications & the RNS implant.
