Epilepsy treatment

Any epilepsy treatment must be viewed in the context that the causes of epilepsy are many and inadequately understood. Although the link between progesterone and epilepsy is not yet fully understood, pre-menstrually, it has been known to respond to increases in progesterone levels. Hormone imbalances induced by environmental poisons, especially the xeno-estrogens, are thought by some authorities to be a likely source of the problem.

A pre-mentstrual epileptic attack usually occurs one or two days before or during menstruation. This is sometimes preceded by a headache or tension. A long interval without food may also precipitate an attack.

The prevention and control of the condition may be assisted with the application of progesterone as a skin cream under the supervision of a health care practitioner with knowledge of progesterone therapy.

Depending upon the severity of the problem it could be several months before anti-convulsant drugs may no longer be needed.
