Thank you so much! I watched first do no harm per a previous message w you… incredible movie, incredible story! I’m have never heard of an epileptologist! I will seek one out! I had my son at an integrative doc yest for the first time… very impressed with the knowledge of how to help his liver, he has agreed to the supplements: l-carnitine, C, CoQ10, milk thistle, D-ribose. However I’m sure eastern medicine naturopaths would know even more… it’s a start. I had forgotten you had mentioned Medical cannabis… last I checked we had US approval but no docs knew what to do w it. My sons epilepsy (generalized juvenile .. both abscence and grand mal was not treated this way) his is controlled w depakote so no docs care about his decreased ability to function in the world. I will watch your links. Thank you always for your knowledge and concern. GOD BLESS YOU!

My pleasure @sgboster123 !!!!!
I do cross my fingers for you to find an epileptologist, a neurologist who specialized in epilepsy due to its complexity. Unfortunately, I can not recommend one to you in the States (I live outside the US). For me, as I mentioned before, being treated by an epileptologist has made a great difference, something I have also heard from others in epilepsy groups I participate in the US. Perhaps someone here in our group can help you more with an epileptologist recommendation in your area in the US. An epileptologist for sure has experience in managing medical cannabis for his or her patients.
Great to hear that you have been to an integrative medicine doctor yesterday. Hope this treatment helps your son with his liver issues. I would love to hear more about the results of your son's treatment in some time. When explaining integrative medicine, I might have expressed it in an incomplete way when I just mentioned some ancient medicines. I do understand that it also combines Eastern non-conventional treatments. Dr. Cynthia Li (American doctor) explains more about integrative medicine in her interviews and videos. Here is also another definition of integrative medicine by Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/complementary-alternative-medicine/about/pac-20393581
