Creatine Benefits for Epilepsy
Epilepsy & Seizures | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
As far as peptides, I've been working with an "expert" in California. He has developed a protocol specific to my situation. Mine is complex, given both the epilepsy and a rare autoimmune disease involving GAD65. Actually came to Mayo in August for 2 weeks for a second opinion on the GAD65.
Have not started peptides yet. Intend to. Research strongly suggests that they can help in mutiple ways. Neurologist okayed it.
Wish I could find a knowlegeable gatekeeper for all the experimental western meds for GAD65, my 3 autoimmune diseases, supplements, non-Western protocols. Integrating eastern and western approaches. Not sure one exists. Still looking. Will be incredibly expensive since insurance won't cover.
Cognitive decline and brain damage is my biggest concern.
Any comments welcome!!!

Thank you for sharing that additional information about your treatment plan. I would be genuinely interested in hearing about your experience once you have begun this treatment.
I have often wished for healthcare providers who skillfully blend Western with Eastern medicine approaches. Unfortunately, as one candid doctor confided in me, a troubling divide still exists in the medical community. Conventional health professionals often view integrative approaches with skepticism or dismissal, while many integrative health professionals reject evidence-based conventional treatments outright.
The real tragedy is that patients, who could benefit from a combined approach, find themselves caught in the middle of this professional dispute. Instead of receiving the best of both worlds, many are forced to choose sides or navigate these separate approaches on their own.
Have you also had those experiences yourself?
