EpilepsyPossible way to Treat Epilepsy
NOTE: I am not a medical practitioner there may be mistakes in my research due to my lack on medical knowledge, they are just my personal observations.
A young woman I was talking at a bus stop has epilepsy, which was undiagnosed she had no idea what to do about it, i.e she had no brain dammage. I told her what I believed it was caused by low blood pressure, she said "I have naturally low blood pressure", meaning abnormally low blood pressure. She also mentioned she had epileptic seizures during alchahol consumption, which, incidentally reduces heart rate. Overview of ResearchThis is research using recorded cases of Epilepsy, and other peoples observations on Eclampsia which has a strong correlation to cardiovascular disease according to Womans health News, and fitting in general , my research unifies all forms of seizures to a common cause, namely not enough blood supply to the brain, I believe causing blood to be forced back to the brain by squeezing blood out of muscles via involentary paulses back into the circulatory system, when a fit occurs it temporarily shuts down lower priority bodily functions (e.g. a fit), by sending a signal to the legs and Muscles that to cause the body to fall, to cause the body to lie horizontally, to suddenly reduce the gravitational force on blood flow to the brain, to protect the brain during extended blood loss, or clotting, which I believe brain dammage is essentually a perminant clot restricting blood flow to cortexes in low blood pressure, or low tides of blood e.g. during heart weakness or failure. e.g. Epilepsy, Eclampsia, Wounding, Clotting , heart failure, Naturally Low Blood Pressure, fits taken during blood tests, etc, to a single unified cause, blood loss / supply, e.g.low or irregular blood pressure, a low blood tide to the brain is the cause of fitting.The Manchester Heart CentreAfter completing my research, I found that the Manchester Heart Centre in the United Kingdom believes essentually the same thing I was shown in prayer about blood being a factor in epilepsy, with maybe slight variation, and that research has been a very valuable tool, that many cases of epilepsy are blood related not a brain disorder, and they were concerned about misdiagnosis. I agree with their findings: "Syncope is a situation where there's a sudden, abrupt loss of blood supply to the brain, with resultant loss of consciousness and collapse. And it is recognised that commonly such a collapse can be complicated by abnormal movements: thrashing of the limbs and so forth, sometimes facial automatisms, which are very, very difficult to distinguish from epilepsy, even for a specialist observer", said Adam Fitzpatrick of the Manchester Heart Centre (Epilepsy Misdiagnosis, Normal Swan, ABC radio National, 1999) "Amongst the concerns is that some patients may receive anti-convulsant medication inappropriately, and that might have harmful effects. Some of the anti-convulsant agents, particularly the older ones, have unpleasant side effects", said Adam Fitzpatrick of the Manchester Heart Centre (Epilepsy Misdiagnosis, Normal Swan, ABC radio National, 1999). My Ideas FollowThese ideas were not expressed by the Manchester Heart Centre but are my obsevations, and ideas. Fitting occurs in people with Naturally Low Blood pressure and no brain dammage, in some women during blood loss at child birth, and when in a totally relaxitive state, and many other examples shown latter. In epilepsy the leg muscles, and surrounding muscles, receive a signal from the brain to cause the body to fall. It is a mechanism built into the body to redistribute blood balance quickly, i.e. resupply the brain in times of low blood pressure, low blood tide if you will, and occurs in all people given the right circumstances. To an epileptic this may not initially seem to make sense, e.g. "But I don't bleed". It is not so much about bleeding as it is about blood pressure. Tiredness, and resting reduces blood pressure, and over exercise makes the pressure irregular, e.g. some times high, some times low, pulsating. As an example when a person suffers blood loss there is less available blood pressure, due to there being less blood in the body. In Eclampsia when women have babies they can suffer varying degrees of hemoraging (bleeding), during these times they can suffer minor or more major fits, the fits often stop when given Magnesium. Eclampsia has a strong corrolation to cardiovascular disease according to Women's Health News (Pre-eclampsia kidney disease link, 7- March- 2007). Researchers have noticed Magnesium assists in the creation of new blood cells, i.e. I helps replace lost blood; low magnesium levels result in a slower blood cell creation. When loosing blood, blood pressure drops, capilery action would be restricted in localised areas and may result in lowered or irregular blood supply throughout the body. E.g. crush wounds, and abrasions. Blood loss is a temporary clot because the wound site drains blood from the capileries, resulting in bloods movement being at least mildly restricted. As the body is a finly tuned machine, slight in balances can have unforseen effects. Past observations have recorded when there is a blood clot in the body sezures often can occur. Ok back to epilepsy which is esentually as people with epilepsy know a faint or fit with thrashing of limbs, or eyes, etc, accompnied by a wave of brain activity. So what you might say, well all cases of Epilepsy I have reviewed fits occur at times of LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, or IREGGULAR HEART BEAT, and many doctors only relate it to brian wave activity exclusively, but heart researchers in the UK and my self differ on this diagnosis. My research is similar to theirs. The way I see it, most epileptics do not fit all the time, e.g. they can walk around, pick up things, play computer games, etc, so their ability to control movement is normal for the most part, their mechanisms for controlling movement and bodily function. However brain dammage can restrict certain groups of functions. E.g. restrict certain facial muscles, or leg muscles. So why don't I think brain dammage causes the sezures? "Isn't it the brain dammage?", I say yes, and no. But primarily no. First we will study the brain. Think about a limb like a finger, if you think about it you can move it. How? The brain sends an eletrical pulse via the spine to the nerves, moving the muscles. We can flex certain muscles, try flexing your leg muscles, or arm. You can actually control very specific muscle groups. Each time you do that an eletrical pulse is generated in the brain, to provide the electricity to the nerves. A pulse of electricity is what causes a sezure, "so something in the brain is wrong?", some one will say, well yes of course, but I say no. I.e. it is an involentary moving or flexing of the Muscles I believe however used to farm blood, needed else where, not a brain fault. We will now discuss this in greater detail. Essentually, I will attempt to show it is an attempt to return blood to the circlitory system, then shut down unnecessary muscle movement to conserve energy, especially in times of extended blood starvation to the brain. The leg muscles, and surrounding muscles, may receive a signal from the brain to cause the body to fall, so as to make the body horizontal so there is not a downward gravitational force on the blood to the brain. If people have worn out or damaged bodies it is set off frequently, e.g. clots, brain damage acting as a clot, liver, or heart problems, Naturally Low Blood Pressure, old age, wounding etc. I will attempt to show this by examples, and evidence. Epileptic Symptoms In Non-EpilepticsThese are all factual times when sezures, indistinguishable from epilepsy in many cases, occur in people with no brain dammage. Epileptic Symptoms In Non-Epileptics. These symptoms occur in non epileptic people i.e. shaking when the following happens:
The following are the most likely times a fit will occur, these are common among people interviewed.
The Theory
The BrainThe brain works in this way fuel from the blood is supplied to the correct section of the brain, to act as a catalyst for electrical charge to be generated, like you would to a coal power plant, to move specific muscle groups. As an example if I wish to move my hand a certain part of the brain ignites a power generation, this sends an eletrical charge along the spine to the nerves in the muscles. The brain is essentially a reactor that supplies electrical charge to switches in various parts of the body that act in moving muscles, and other parts of the biology.Blood is used to carry chemicals used for new cell generation, carried in the blood, to various parts of the body as there is a need. In people with low blood pressure, or brain damage which can lower localised blood flow in the brain not enough fuel is not supplied adequately to the point of need in the brain, or is not sufficient fuel to ignite the charge that permits movement to occur, there may be ways to correct this. The blood supply to the brain acts on a pulse system. Blood acts in the following way, pump ... pause ... pump ... pause ... pump. This supplies a tide of blood to the brain. High tide, low tide. People with a week pulse, i.e. low blood pressure have what we would best describe as a beach like wave flow to the brain of nutrients, like the surf, but their tide is a lower tide than normal. As such in times of rest, or blood loss, the tide goes out too far, as the pusle is lower, or the tide stays out too long, and the brain is starved of its mechanism for supplying fuel for the electrical (power generating) function of the brain. The burst of charge in the brain, I believe is its God given ability to override what the mind is requesting the body should do, for what it needs to do, the brain requests what it needs to receive. The brain can over ride the request of the body in times when blood is not supplied in sufficient quantities for the brain to perform normal function. So initially tries to get blood from localised muscles, eyes, etc. In these cases the brain sends an over ride signal to the brain to shut down unnecessary muscular movement to supply the brain adequately to support life until medical assistance arrives, in times of blood loss, this accounts for a sudden burst of intense electrical charge in an override attempt. Some forms of spinal damage could also have the same effect. As the charge is redirected along the wrong electrical pathways. There are many possible reason for epilepsy the first and most common in my opinion is blood supply, because most people with epilepsy have full control of their bodies, for the vast majority of the time, but only suffer when pulse is low. The second is the brain damage can cause charge to jump wires so to speak sending charge along the wrong wires. The final one is damage to pathways supplying that current like spine, amputations of normal pathways for the charge to flow through, the brain is like a circuit board that sends charge to the correct part of the brain, to move portions of the body. This accounts for accident victims who have lost movement in limbs due to spinal injury, where the wires if you like are severed, and the charge can no longer reach the required destination. What I thinkIt is my belief that blood starvation, is the initiating factor in sezures, in an attempt to farm blood from the muscles by contracting them, and resting the body. The blood supply becomes like a low tide at the beach, less supply of liquid, low or irregular blood pressure to the brain. The low tide causes the brain to request a resupply, sending a pulse or charge to the brain to contract muscles, and eventually force the body to fall if it can't reinitiate blood flow, to allow the body to lie horizontally (laying down) instead of vertical (standing up) to reduce the gravitational, downward force on the blood to the brain. Called epilepsy. Tiredness is one of the major symptoms preceding a sezure, an attack of epilepsy, which again i relate to the amount of fuel, chemicals in the blood, and its availability. But not just tiredness, resting to watch a movie or when about to go to sleep does the same, reduced relaxed heart function, all times of low blood pressure. In brain dammage the blood pathways being clotted dead tissue, damaged, restricts localised blood flow, and throws out the brains natural God given blood balance, and can get worse as fits occur, as blood starvation and cell death can cause some new functional death. I believe epilepsy is in essence the same as Eclampsia at child birth which causes seizures; I believe Exclampsia is caused by the same blood loss and persists during the healing process, due to irregular or reduced supply. In Eclampsia the sezures are initially caused by the blood loss, irregular heart beat, primarily caused by muscular contractions, leading to exhustion, etc. RestOne of the major times fits occur is during rest. During rest less blood pressure is available to the body to pump blood, an in an epileptic the brain damage prevents adequate blood flow. ExerciseAn Epileptic might say but I feel better after resting, if I keep working I will get a fit. Work tires muscles, if the heart becomes tired less blood is available, and erratic, the same as in a rest situation blood flow and quality is low , again a form of brain blood starvation. It is in my opinion a balancing act between rest and exercise, because of the damage to the brain less blood pathways are available to supply blood, and blood pressure needs to be higher. During times of tiredness and rest the muscles in the body relax (including the heart), causing less blood to be pumped through the body. During excessive tiredness in exercise the quality and availability of the blood to the brain decreases, being used primarily by motor skills (muscles). Blood flow specifically, and hence available energy overall should determine the number of fits a person takes. Brain Energy CreationIncreasing the bodies natural brain energyBalanced TriGlyceride if broken down should be a positive thing in Epileptics, if it is broken down into Glucose, why it creates much more brain fuel. As an exmple imagine a beach, with sea weed, sea weed are plants that become disloged from the sea bed by storms. The higher the tide on the beach the more sea weed that is left after a tide. The lower the tide, the less fish you catch, and a less sea weed is available, to put in bags and put on the garden. So what would you do if you were God, and some old bloke was needing more sea weed for his garden. You would make a big storm to make more sea weed available in the water. So the low tide supplied the same amount of sea weed as the high tide. Blood flow is like a tide on the beach, if you don't have a good tide, i.e. blood pressure restriction in the brain, not enough water on the beach, even though you might have normal blood pressure, forcing the water up the beach, you need more nutrients in the blood to make up for the lack, i.e. energy rich blood.
Increasing metabolism and metabolistic strength Increased metabolism will increase brain energy, and increase blood flow. Because the brain damage restricts a percentage of blood pathways in the brain extra blood pressure is needed to supply the brain adequately, at times of heart rest or exhaustion. Exercise will increase the hearts ability to pump blood to the parts of the brain that suffer starvation. Warning: Initially exercise its self may cause fitting; due to tiredness being one of the causes I believe of epileptic fits. But over time this would reduce as strength returns to the heart, I would suggest energy supplements be used to balance the tiredness in the initial stages. Exercise should also help balance out the effects of animal and plant based fats (TriGlycerides) added to a diet. Controlling Anger & AnxietyIncreased Blood FlowIncreased Blood Pressure (using Sodium, i.e. Salt)Increased blood pressure would help to get blood to areas of the brain damaged by brain injury due to more pressure forcing blood through restricted blood flow pathways. Shown diagrammatically below. An increase in Sodium increases blood pressure. Also see increasing blood pressure via the bodies natural metabolism, and heart strength, via exercise. A young woman I was talking at a bus stop has epilepsy, which was undiagnosed she had no idea what to do about it. I told her what I believed it was caused by low blood pressure, she said "I have naturally low blood pressure", meaning abnormally low blood pressure. She also mentioned she had epileptic seizures during alchahol consumption, which, incidentally reduces heart rate, thus blood pressure.
Thinning of the blood (for further study)This may have positive or adverse effects on epileptic fits, as thinner blood means easier access by the blood to the brain if there are restricted paths, however I think in the reverse a thin blood supply may result in nutrient starvation. Increased blood pressure through diet and exercise would be a better choice than blood thinning, sodium and additional energy intake could help if diet and exercise is not sufficient. Regulating Heart BeatFor effective blood flow the heart beat should be steadied and regulated. I would suggest that because irregular heart beat, and heart malfunction in child birth can cause seizures in women, and can be stopped or aided by Magnesium, Magnesium should hold a key to stopping epileptic blood based seizures. Sodium MagnateThis is how I perceive Sodium Magnate (Na, Mg) and hoqw it could help certaincases of epilepsy, it should have the following benefits: Salt
Mg (Magnesium)This page contains the medical benefits of Magnesium Sulphate, as shown on Wiki, with additional notation. It list the benefits as:
I would suggest that because irregular heart beat, and heart malfunction in child birth can cause seizures, and epilepsy occurs during low or irregular blood pressure, and seizures can be stopped by Magnesium in women, it is Magnesium that holds a key to stopping epileptic seizures. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
