Seizures

[RawforSeth]

Hi everyone, my 13 year old son has suffered from an uncontrollable seizure disorder since he was 8 months old. They have affected him developmentally and physcially especially in the past couple years. I started him on a 100% raw food way of eating four weeks ago to build him back up, regain his strength and hopefully it will help with the seizures. Well, I don't know if it is because of his diet or just the way things are but he has been seizing more lately than ever. I guess my question is, have people who go raw for specific health reasons ever seen things get a lot worse before things have gotten better? We have been chelating heavy metals etc. out of him for about 18 months now. He has always eaten clean but definately not the way he is eating now. Any input would help me at this time...thanks!

Absolutely. It's called "retracting". Must be very scary for you and Seth though.

i hope that raw will heal him of his seizures. that's what i am trying for, but i only have seizures occasionally. i agree that things may get worse before everything is better, just wait it out, your on the right track!

Thanks Revvell and Tiny, I feel confident that this is the way for him to heal. All the best to both of you. Pam
