In reply to the discussion: Snowden (who really does, apparently, have epilepsy) helps an epileptic. [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)209. You might want to contact Dr. Gupta's office, and find out more about that cannabis oil.
At least have a look at the documentary and see if there's anything in there that can help you--those brothers who are growing the particular strain of the High CBD stuff might be able to assist you.
If you haven't seen this video, I promise you it will not be a waste of time.
We don't live in ancient times, and I don't think a single respondent to this thread thinks that Satan has anything to do with epilepsy--please point me to a post making that accusation, in case I missed it.
The Brothers Karamazov is a book that was written Dostoyevsky (an epileptic himself) over a hundred and thirty years ago. We've learned a lot since then, you know.
If you don't like or trust his doctors, I'm sorry--I can't help you there. I think most neurologists, particularly those who specialize in epilepsy, are quite dedicated to their work. I don't think most are "quacks." You're entitled to hold that opinion but I believe you're in the minority in that view.
If your son is dealing with uncontrolled seizures, he might want to consider either surgery or looking into the cannabis oil option. I hope he finds the medical assistance he needs--if he is seizing constantly and medication isn't helping, he is in a very small minority of the epileptic population.

OP
I guess the take-away here is that no one that has epilepsy and has had a seizure can be trusted...

Hyper religiosity and sexuality are pretty major changes, so your very post belies your thesis.
