Epilepsy
Barron’s Dictionary of Medial Terms defines Epilepsy as:
“…neurological
disorder characterized by recurrent episodes (ranging from several times a day
to once in several years) of convulsive seizures, impaired consciousness,
abnormal behavior, and other disturbances produced by uncontrolled electrical
discharge from nerve cells in the brain.
Trauma to the head, brain tumor, chemical imbalances, and other factors
may be associated with epilepsy, but in most cases, the cause is known. Treatment
depends on the severity and frequency of the episodes and usually involves
anticonvulsant drugs. Common types of epilepsy are grand mal and petit mal.” (page 194-195)
Two cases of
epilepsy have been treated successful over a period of
2 weeks to 6 months. In the first case, the patient had epilepsy for 15 years.
The “zygomatic branch” of the facial nerves over the
left eye were treated to reduce the amount of
episodes. He went from having them frequently, especially when seeing moving
light, to having them once or twice a year when he go totally stress out. We
would like some day to study how stress affects the nervous system.
The second
case treated was a girl in her teens who was in a quad vehicle accident. Shortly after the accident, she started
having seizures. Her health care
provider diagnoses these seizures as epilepsy possibly caused by trauma over
the left eye sustained during the accident and placed her on medication. After treating her for 2 weeks, no
reoccurrence of the epileptic episodes have occurred in over two years.
Since then we
have seen individuals experiencing blackouts being successfully been treated
the same way. They all had zygomatic branch damage over the left eye. In each case, these nerves were
treated as well as releasing the chest.
As to why these individuals black out is still a mystery. The results of
working the zygomatic branches, of the facial nerves,
might lead one to believe that it is part of the vagus
nerve, which is the parasympathetic nerve of the internal organs. Injury to the nerves over the right eye does
not seem to bring about the same result.
We have never seen a case of blackouts with injury to the nerves over
the right eye.
We do not know
with 100% certainty if damage to the “zygomatic
branches” of the facial nerves is the only cause of epilepsy. The cases to date have only been test cases
and as more information becomes available, it will be posted
on this site.
We do not
known if these individuals will have to come back for further treatments. All we do know is that they have returned to
a normal lifestyle.
