Can I Treat My Epilepsy Naturally?
Exercise, sunlight, ketogenic diet, music, sports etc.
I do take my meds and go by my docs advice and such, which is good, but I also add my own things as well, I have a sport and like to bass fish, I have not done that in about 2 and 3/4 yrs, I may next year, I have a daily routine of prayer and bible study which I put 1 st in my life with, I do other things as well like normal and get my taken care of by doing that each day, my answer here, I think it's different per person but that is my way.
I was thinking some more about your question. You might look for a neurologist that is a Do and not an Md. more training actually. My neurologist is a do and would have been a great 70’s hippie too. He treats the whole body and not just symptoms. It’s been a great approach and he’s more open to listening and solutions.
Exercise, mindfulness, eliminating alcohol:( all help w meds. But eliminating meds put you and others at risk He’s honest about the limitations of drugs and in the end “it’s the f’n brain who completely knows” he says
Google Do vs. Md to learn more
Stick with your meds and your Dr. unless you are free for 3 months let's say , but stay with your doctor's supervision always. ericthom3
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Isn't the only difference between a MD and a OD a MD is more qualified medically and a OD is medically qualified but focuses on more natural treatments ? I did'nt know this before I started seeing my new GP but, the GP I see now currenly also runs his own medical cannabis business. As far as I know because of where things are at, I think they do more research-based based things than priscribing.
Web Md definition. Both are licensed neurologists. Both prescribe same drugs.
What Is a DO?
DO stands for doctor of osteopathic medicine. They use the same conventional medical techniques as MDs but with a few other methods. DOs tend to focus more on holistic health and prevention. In holistic health, all parts of a person, including their mind, body, and emotions, are considered during the treatment. They also use a system of physical manipulations and adjustments to diagnose and treat people.”.
