    About this ebook

    The debilitating pain of a migraine. The disability of poorly controlled seizures. If this describes you, or someone you care about, you are not alone. A staggering 3 million people in the United States alone have been diagnosed with epilepsy. When you consider that migraines share very similar characteristics to seizures, you can add another 35 million to the pool. THEN, consider the fact that neurodegenerative disorders, like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, may be the long-term result of uncontrolled damage to the brain from epilepsy and migraines. This means there are a very large number of people alive today affected by this process that produces a progressive degeneration of the health of our brains.

    Most of you have read volumes about your condition and may be as educated, or more so, than the physicians you see for help. This book, unlike others you may have read, will bring together many of concepts that help to heal our brains, improve it's function and rid ourselves of debilitating conditions that negatively affect our brains. It is designed as a guide to protect the most important thing you own—your brain. While nothing in the physiology of the brain is guaranteed, the majority of those who follow the recommendations in this book will find relief. Some may be able to rid themselves of migraines or seizures completely.

    Since acquiring a passion for how the body works in chiropractic school, I have continued to indulge this desire by reading some 120 peer reviewed medical journals per month. I'm always learning more about how to help people avoid chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, obesity and cancer, and pass along this information in my blog. There are currently almost 2,000 posts cataloged on almost every health topic imaginable! For some reason, the information that we understand about avoid and managing chronic diseases remains a big secret. Drugs dominate and lifestyle is pushed to the side. Time after time I have new patients come into my office that have not been given the information they need to get or stay healthy. This blog has always served as therapy for me, allowing me to share with the world this hidden information. Hence the name "Rantings…"

      INTRODUCTION

      The debilitating pain of a migraine. The disability of poorly controlled seizures. If this describes you, or someone you care about, you are not alone. A staggering 3 million people in the United States alone have been diagnosed with epilepsy. When you consider that migraines share very similar characteristics to seizures, you can add another 35 million to the pool. THEN, consider the fact that neurodegenerative disorders, like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, may be the long-term result of uncontrolled damage to the brain from epilepsy and migraines. This means there are a very large number of people alive today affected by this process that produces a progressive degeneration of the health of our brains.

      Most of you have read volumes about your condition and may be as educated, or more so, than the physicians you see for help. This book, unlike others you may have read, will bring together many of concepts that help to heal our brains, improve its function and rid ourselves of debilitating conditions that negatively affect our brains. It is designed as a guide to protect the most important thing you own—your brain. While nothing in the physiology of the brain is guaranteed, the majority of those who follow the recommendations in this book will find relief. Some may be able to rid themselves of migraines or seizures completely.

      Before we begin, I need to stress strongly that no information in this book is designed to replace medications you are currently taking. Abrupt withdrawal of anti-seizure or anti-migraine medications can result in dangerous rebound effects, potentially leading to status epilipticus, a life-threatening condition where the brain is locked into a state of perpetual seizure.

      With that being said, it is common for mainstream medicine to recommend medications that control the seizure or headache, but do nothing to help protect the brain. This is obviously a severe shortcoming and a grave failing of the way we treat migraines and seizures in society today. It is indescribably important for patients to understand that the ultimate responsibility for their health lies within. It does NOT lie with the physician. Physicians can guide and coach you, but the job of improving the health of your brain is yours alone. It has been shown in research that those who have a higher health locus of control have a higher quality of life. In other
