CBD does not have THC found in marijuana which is good. I'm not 100% sure if I want to try CBC but after 40 years I'm thinking maybe there might be something but am also concerned as I don't know how much research they've done.
I tried the ketogenic diet but had to quit after a year as it gave me acid reflux. I'm thinking maybe I should try low carbohydrate instead. I'll have to look into the yoga (certain positions aren't good for glaucoma). I was wondering what you meant by a behavioral approach.
I'll have to try an epileptologist who could give me some guidance on trying CBD and make sure I'm getting some good quality gummies. I live where I might be able to find one.
Thank you.

Hi @heal33
Exactly, I just take pure CBD and not the full-spectrum medical cannabis, this last one contains THC and other components of cannabis. Already much research has been done on medical cannabis and more needs to be done. But the economical interest on it ..... It is important to be treated by an epileptologist with experience in prescribing CBD and medical cannabis, not all epileptologist have such an experience yet, unfortunately.
My diet is a gluten-free one. Even if you are not coeliac, gluten can provoke inflammation and trigger to seizures. Taking gluten out of the diet does not hurt!!! Very recently I have been reducing the consumption of dairy products to see if it benefits me. As it is known, the food chain is not as it once was, it has changed much.
As to the behavioral approach, in such an approach, you learn about your own triggers, what leads to your seizures and how to control/manage those triggers so as to avoid seizures.
Hoped to have helped a bit by sharing this information 🙂
Have a nice evening!

Hi @santosha @heal33
I’ve recently started a vegan diet. It really helped clear my skin and acne. But as with my meds making me nauseated all the time I quit that a year ago and picked it up again now that I’m reducing. I tried Keto but that’s even harder with reading so many labels. Also I read through comments and noticed you were on a birth control pill which caused your seizures, not saying mine did but it had bad effects it was accutane.
I recommend a book about healing from Queen Aufua. She talks a lot about healing the woman’s body. The man’s as well. And if you want to go vegan she writes up a better plan in her book so you don’t have to just guess.
Have a good day/night
