It's pretty rare for someone diagnosed
with epilepsy to gain full seizure control
without drugs, but some folks have done
it. You might try using diet (ketogenic,
modified atkins, low glycemic, gard, or
others), eeg neurofeedback, or surgical
options if you are a candidate (requires
lots of testing to find out). Check out
this chart of non-drug
epilepsy treatments for more
info.
