Patient's question:
An 8-year-old boy suddenly had a seizure. In the past year, he has had two episodes, but in the past 7 years, he had never had one before. The first episode was very mild, lasting only 1-2 minutes, but this time it was severe, with frothing at the mouth and loss of consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and intensive care. After the first mild episode, he visited a doctor for examination, and the electroencephalogram showed abnormal electrical discharge indicative of epilepsy. Is it epilepsy? Was it caused by genetics or acquired factors? How is it treated? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is considered a form of cancer in the nervous system, known as one of the world's three intractable diseases, due to its complex causes, sudden onset, unpredictability, and difficulty in. Western medicine currently has no effective treatment, so I recommend using traditional Chinese medicine such as Tianma (Gastrodia elata), Hupu (Amber), Lingyangjiao (Antelope Horn), Shexiang (Musk), Chaihu (Bupleurum), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Shichangpu (Calamus), Qingyangshen (Aconitum carmichaelii), Baijiangcan (Bombyx mori caterpillar), Gouteng (Hemiphragmus), Yangpilecao (Lobelia chinensis), Zhenzhumu (Mother-of-pearl), Tiandanfen (Iron Gall Powder), Longjicao (Isatis indigotica), and Gancao (Licorice) for combined treatment. These herbs are fast-acting and highly effective. When used together, they have the functions of supporting the body's vital energy, expelling pathogens, calming the mind and soothing nerves, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, eliminating dampness and phlegm, reviving the brain and clearing the mind, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, and nourishing the marrow. They can fundamentally regulate the functions of the internal organs. The active ingredients of these herbs can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier, directly targeting the core of the affected brain tissue, inhibiting abnormal electrical discharges in brain cells, rapidly competing with neurotransmitter receptors, and simultaneously repairing damaged brain nerve cells. This can fundamentally cure the intractable condition of epilepsy. You can buy these herbs from local pharmacies. They are highly effective, practical, cost-saving, and convenient. I hope you can receive proper treatment and recover early.
