Hi, May I ask you the size of Vitamin D (500 - 2000 IU), Is this taken one day size or each time size please? If I take 2000IU every time, how much millimeter each time? Thank you so much, expecting your answer!
Salaam Dr Omar, my young son has been having tonic-clonic seizures monthly. I didn’t want to medicate right away so I tried blackseed oil mixed with castor oil on the soles of his feet and his seizures were greatly reduced so he went 4 months without a seizure. I have decided to carry on with the oils as well as keeping him hydrated and cool and getting enough sleep.
How old is your son? My son (16 years old) started to have those seizures too. He is on Lacosamide and they want us to try Epidiolex. I already have him on 3 different cannabis oils ( to help him with behaviors, he is nonverbal and autistic) and the oils have helped him tremendously, thank God. His neurological knows he takes cannabis.
Right!! Developed epilepsy after a febrile seizure the night after I got a few vaccines when I was 5, my mother always knew that’s what caused it *she died in 2018 But every doctor I ever went to said in one way or another “oh that’s just a febrile seizure and has nothing to do with epilepsy” I only knew for sure after another one of Dr.Danoun’s videos I seen where he said that those febrile seizures at such a young age could cause scarring to the brain, resulting in epilepsy. Most honest doctor I’ve ever seen. Much appreciated… 16 now and still having seizures but praying neuroplastisity has some effect on me in the next few years
I am 24 years old and recently had my first grand mal seizure, it was the most terrifying experience of my life and I truly feel for anyone having to experience this on a daily basis.
I've only had one clonic tonic (thankfully) I have focal seizures mainly the clonic tonic started out focal then generalized. What I find strange is once I went back to my "fresh organic" diet of pasta, eggs baked chicken and fish, the seizures calmed down meaning weakier..... but they never went away, I'm not sure y mine started when I was 24 😕 I find it odd when I have seizures they are "fake memories" and fear triggered by music or lights. That was NEVER a issue before
Gabatablets or valeriana is great!! Gaba is often low when you get seizures. Ketogenic diet is good because it lowers glutamate in the brain. The balance between gaba and glutamate is important. Gaba makes us relax
The ketogenic diet is one of the oldest methods of controlling seizures, it was used in the 1920s for controlling seizures in children and it was very successful but the diet may not suit everyone so consult with your doctor first.

Hey Doc I’m in Virginia I would like to do the consult but the hospital says the first visit has to be in person then virtual is there anyway around that since I live so far out #biggest supporter💜
Good morning Doctor. I'm in South Africa. I am currently using Tegretol 400mg 2x daily plus Rivotril 2mg 2x daily and have been on this medication since 2003. I had my last grand mal seizure in 2012, but recently, since 2021, began to have petit mall seizures once every 5 months. It is getting worse. I have a medical aid (Discovery). There are currently no neurologists close to where I live and I last saw a neurologist in 2011. If my medical aid will cover your cost and you can help me here in South Africa (I live about 2 hours drive from Johannesburg) I would be extremely thankful. And thank you so much for the advice! I take all the vitamins you mentioned, except Folic Acid. I'm definitely going to buy a good brand of Folic Acid today. I have tried CBD, the pure ones, but it had a shock effect on me, I had an Anxiety attack once the CBD was out of my bloodstream. I was diagnosed at age 15 with Frontal Lobe Epilepsy that is triggered by stress. Also found out photo sensitivity plays a role, and stress more in the sense of Adrenalin. If you can reply to this comment to let me know if you can help me, I will appreciate it very, very much.
I really appreciate your regular ‘input’ on this subject of seizures & ‘EPILEPSY’ Which as I now understand it …is an ‘umbrella’ term which covers many different types of seizure.
Dear Dr Danoun, Always wealth of knowledge, thank you for sharing it with the world🙏! So many patients,their families, caregivers and every single person who in some way is connected to epilepsy , can continue learning from you to truly understand what/how/how ,and to be aware of all the different options out there! My grandma is my angel up above as of last fall, but her life living with epilepsy has inspired & driven me to continue learning as much as i can and help where i can! I am very thankful for your videos! 🙏
I just started a women’s prenatal multivitamin. I’ve been very, very fatigued lately w/ brain fog and despite being on 600mg Lamictal daily, I’m starting to have occasional breakthrough focal aware seizures.

Dr Omar, how can I find out if I am positive with Catamenial Epilepsy? I suffer from seizures since 1997 and was controlled for years with different meds until my body started getting affected bad then changed to Lamictal which worked good for years as well. I stopped taking meds at all since 2014 when my kidneys and joints were extremely affected so I have been living almost a decade with a monthly episode of seizures. My tubes have been removed but no positive changes after almost a year. Years ago my neurologist said he couldn’t find anything wrong with my brain after a couple of EEG’s I just would like to know what doctor treats Catamenial epilepsy to have a test done, Thank for your time
I'm going through the same thing. I have multiple seizures/Auras every month. I do lip and tongue bitting. I feel drained and tired after theses episodes. Trying to find out if this is catamenial epilepsy. I also have a hormonal imbalance
I read mucus in the brain over time can have an impact, causing epilepsy therefore clearing it out and going on a mucus free diet for a few days will help.
Good Day, I saw this in you tube and I would like to ask about my daughter who has Absence Seizure(Focal her eyes roll up for seconds) She take medications after 1 year I find it out that she became forgetful...1 week taking valpros , the result is no signs of seizure but the medication continues until 1year.. I wasnt able to take her to the hospital of EEG for follow up check up cause I got some money problems.. Until 10mos, the seizure back again.. I find it out , specially when she is back to school. I am searching ang looking for vitamins for this.. Is it possible that this will gone by not taking medication? Please help me,
Doctor, my daughter 14 years old, last two years she is in treatment of frontal lobe epilepsy. Still spike not disappearing, please advise, she is also facing mania issue. She take 900 mg zeptol per day and also for mania arifine 15mg per day.
I got my partner on cod liver oil tablets years ago and the change was great also got her to get a blood test and discovered she was low in vitamin d and iron with regular tablets supplements has changed her seizures from weekly to yearly
Hi I have minor and major seizures, do you think I should ask my doctor in the UK here if I should could take cbd oil? I used to smoke it for a long time, as my ex partner used to tell me it would do me good, which it didn’t in the end, I take 1500mg of Epilin chromo valproate each day, I would love to hear from you as I hate taking them, have taken tegrotol also along with others you mentioned, I do take vitamin B and D to help my bones, which are painful ido yoga too, I also suffer very bad memory loss and sometimes can’t remember what happened 5 minutes before, whether it’s a seizure or not at the time, you are great 👍😁
Hi Dr. i have focal grand mal seizures, I’m currently on oxcarbmazepine , lacosamide and lorazepam.. my dr is leaning me off clobazam .. I was wondering what should I do ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with epilepsy a year ago. I have a lot of seizures, and sometimes I end up really injured. One of my injuries was a broken foot that required surgery. I was just wondering if it is normal to be in a constant state of anxiety. I’m really struggling to live with this because I’m always so anxious about having a seizure. I constantly feel sick, and I don’t know anyone else to talk to. I have told my neurologist about this, and he said it will get better once my medication is sorted. I’m currently changing medications. I’m scared to leave my home and travel alone; it’s horrible. I absolutely hate it, and I feel it’s destroyed my life.
GABA Gummies actually caused my recent seizures. So did Valerian Root. I assumed they were safe because my anti seizure medications work on the GABA receptors and from what I understand, Depakote was derived from Valerian. I can take anti seizure medication but the 2 natural supplements, GABA and Valerian Root cause my seizures. Very bad ones requiring the ambulance to be called. 😢 I was trying to help my anxiety and panic attacks. Apparently, the only OTC thing I can take for my anxiety is Magnesium Glycinate. 🤷♀️ Please, be careful with these so called safe supplements. 😔🙏💗💖💗💖
I also have ep. I take potassium, magnesium too, GABA, Omega 3 Forte. and B vitamins. Magnesium is very good. There is also research about pickle juice being able to help. BUT it is very important to take a blood test. I took my minerals and vitamins in the morning. (Even the evening) After a couple of hours I took my ep. medicine. (12 hours between) Test at the hospital,.."Blood value/medicine" should be between 10-60, say my doctors in Sweden. My was 90! Without side effect. My doctor, don't believe in supplements. Even though they got an answer that it was 90! Medicine strength increases a lot when you take certain minerals and vitamins is my experience. Did you take a blood test? 😔😥❤💔🇸🇪 Take care.
Dr Danoun I have absent generalized seizures. I started having my seizures when I was 17 years old. They started when my seizure when my menstrual period started. Can my menstrual period started my seizures? I take Keppra valproare 7.5ml. Can taking Keppra cause me to be violent? I was told I get violent sometimes when I have a seizure. I have a aura when I feel like I'm about to have a seizure. My aura are when my hands shake. My heart will start beating fast. My legs start jumping. I feel like deja view. I can stop my seizures when I lay down and plug my ears and cover my eyes and make sure I don't hear anything. And I has to be dark in my room. I will lay down or take a nap. Then when I wake up I feel fine. I had a seizure surgery. I have a vegal nerve stimulator. It's not help me get my seizures under control. Or my meds I read where vitamins would help me. Vitamins D 500-2000iu, Folic Acid 1-4mg,Vitamin D6 pyridoxine,Omega 3 fish oil, CBD oil, my diet, magnesium deficiency 300-310 for me do you think vitamins will help me?
My brother has had epilepsy for over 20 years. He’s been on different medications but none seems to work completely. Is it safe for him to come of the drugs and start this protocol?

My son is 15years old, he was hit with a metal on the forehead in 2020 and then started getting seizures. He was diagnosed with generalized epilepsy and put on sodium viporate but wasn't helpful, we changed to carbamazepin (tegretal)and folic acid, now he gets one attack every month. Is there anything to stop this completely?

I stopped taking meds at all since 2014 when my kidneys and joints were extremely affected so I have been living almost a decade with a monthly episode of seizures. My tubes have been removed but no positive changes after almost a year. Years ago my neurologist said he couldn’t find anything wrong with my brain after a couple of EEG’s I just would like to know what doctor treats Catamenial epilepsy to have a test done, Thank for your time
I'm going through the same thing. I have multiple seizures/Auras every month. I do lip and tongue bitting. I feel drained and tired after theses episodes. Trying to find out if this is catamenial epilepsy. I also have a hormonal imbalance
يا دكتور عمر أدخلك الله الجنه من أى باب شئت🤲
I read mucus in the brain over time can have an impact, causing epilepsy therefore clearing it out and going on a mucus free diet for a few days will help.
Give example
I also add Vitamin D 1000IU and Folic acid 2,5mg a day 😊 to my regular medication. It was recommended by my doctor.
Good information 👍
Glad you like it
Good Day, I saw this in you tube and I would like to ask about my daughter who has Absence Seizure(Focal her eyes roll up for seconds)

Very nice and useful information.🙏🏼👍🏼
Hi I have minor and major seizures, do you think I should ask my doctor in the UK here if I should could take cbd oil? I used to smoke it for a long time, as my ex partner used to tell me it would do me good, which it didn’t in the end, I take 1500mg of Epilin chromo valproate each day, I would love to hear from you as I hate taking them, have taken tegrotol also along with others you mentioned, I do take vitamin B and D to help my bones, which are painful ido yoga too, I also suffer very bad memory loss and sometimes can’t remember what happened 5 minutes before, whether it’s a seizure or not at the time, you are great 👍😁
Hi Dr. i have focal grand mal seizures, I’m currently on oxcarbmazepine , lacosamide and lorazepam.. my dr is leaning me off clobazam .. I was wondering what should I do ?
Hi,
I was diagnosed with epilepsy a year ago. I have a lot of seizures, and sometimes I end up really injured. One of my injuries was a broken foot that required surgery. I was just wondering if it is normal to be in a constant state of anxiety. I’m really struggling to live with this because I’m always so anxious about having a seizure. I constantly feel sick, and I don’t know anyone else to talk to. I have told my neurologist about this, and he said it will get better once my medication is sorted. I’m currently changing medications. I’m scared to leave my home and travel alone; it’s horrible. I absolutely hate it, and I feel it’s destroyed my life.
Just hang in there till your med's get sorted I'm epileptic also and it sucks but thing's could be worse right.🙂
@@sadiestoltzfus9798 thanks I really hope it does because living with the fear and worry is so hard.
a doctor said I should take Natural Green spirulina capsules against seizures. Is it true?
My supplement stack - I take every other day:
- CBD Oil
- GABA 500mg
- L-theanine 200mg
- Huperzine-A 200mcg
- 5-HTP 100mg
These are not approved for epilepsy treatment
@@DrOmarDanounYes they are. I approved them, and they are on the list I give my clients. So also is palmitoylethanolamide.
GABA Gummies actually caused my recent seizures. So did Valerian Root. I assumed they were safe because my anti seizure medications work on the GABA receptors and from what I understand, Depakote was derived from Valerian. I can take anti seizure medication but the 2 natural supplements, GABA and Valerian Root cause my seizures. Very bad ones requiring the ambulance to be called. 😢 I was trying to help my anxiety and panic attacks. Apparently, the only OTC thing I can take for my anxiety is Magnesium Glycinate. 🤷♀️ Please, be careful with these so called safe supplements. 😔🙏💗💖💗💖
I also have ep. I take potassium, magnesium too, GABA, Omega 3 Forte. and B vitamins.
Magnesium is very good. There is also research about pickle juice being able to help. BUT it is very important to take a blood test. I took my minerals and vitamins in the morning.
(Even the evening) After a couple of hours I took my ep. medicine. (12 hours between) Test at the hospital,.."Blood value/medicine" should be between 10-60, say my doctors in Sweden. My was 90! Without side effect. My doctor, don't believe in supplements. Even though they got an answer that it was 90! Medicine strength increases a lot when you take certain minerals and vitamins is my experience. Did you take a blood test?
😔😥❤💔🇸🇪
Take care.
@DG77733 I was the same,I read if u have taken much gaba because of the meds, it gives the opposite undesired effect..
Thank you dear respected sir. Which powder milk is better for babies who has generalized epilepsy and developmental delay?
Breast milk!!!!! ❤️
Dr Danoun I have absent generalized seizures. I started having my seizures when I was 17 years old. They started when my seizure when my menstrual period started. Can my menstrual period started my seizures? I take Keppra valproare 7.5ml. Can taking Keppra cause me to be violent? I was told I get violent sometimes when I have a seizure. I have a aura when I feel like I'm about to have a seizure. My aura are when my hands shake. My heart will start beating fast. My legs start jumping. I feel like deja view. I can stop my seizures when I lay down and plug my ears and cover my eyes and make sure I don't hear anything. And I has to be dark in my room. I will lay down or take a nap. Then when I wake up I feel fine. I had a seizure surgery. I have a vegal nerve stimulator. It's not help me get my seizures under control. Or my meds
I read where vitamins would help me. Vitamins D 500-2000iu, Folic Acid 1-4mg,Vitamin D6 pyridoxine,Omega 3 fish oil, CBD oil, my diet, magnesium deficiency 300-310 for me do you think vitamins will help me?
My brother has had epilepsy for over 20 years. He’s been on different medications but none seems to work completely. Is it safe for him to come of the drugs and start this protocol?

Salam, spirulina is good for patient?
My son is 15years old, he was hit with a metal on the forehead in 2020 and then started getting seizures. He was diagnosed with generalized epilepsy and put on sodium viporate but wasn't helpful, we changed to carbamazepin (tegretal)and folic acid, now he gets one attack every month. Is there anything to stop this completely?
Depending on the cause and the response to treatment. There are many different treatments available
Can u discuss epilepsy syndromes???? And also which is genetic likes its symptoms and which is cause by other reasons ??????

Doc I started having seizures last year I’m 22.. I get them like every 2-3 months or so, used to vape nicotine and drink heavily but I’ve stopped. Also I been on epilim and doctors kept increasing my dose with no improvement. Any suggestions and I also started taking cbd oil 2 times a day without any medication.. also does smoking weed trigger seizures
There are many treatments for epilepsy as we explained in the videos. Weed is not good for epilepsy
Are you a female
When I started having seizures at 22 they correlated with my periods
What about if you have scarring in the brain, can the scarring be removed and if so can this help epilepsy symptoms become less frequent

Hi I take to my neurologist about vitamins D 500-2000iu D6 pyridoxine Folic Acid 1-4mg Omega fish oil cbd oil. He didn't help me at all. He said vitamins don't help seizures. What CBD oil help for absent generalized seizures? I'm watching from the Fayetteville nc.
Very nice sir.......👌👌
Thank you
Are these in addition to prescription medication? Will they boost protection from episodes, I’ve been investigating sea moss. P carnitine I thought vitamin D was not good when taking anti epilepsy medication!
They are not treatment for epilepsy. They support the bones in case of vitamin D and protect the baby in Folic acid
I asked my neurologist about epidiolex and she said it was mostly for children. And she started putting excuses for not prescribing it to me. Why? I'm a 38 yr old male currently on keppra & vimpat.
I’d like to know what kind of epilepsy you have
And how the meds are working for you

Can I take ashwagandha with lamotrigine 150mg
My doctor told me becarful with herbs because they might affect med levels..
Can I take vit D3 plus K2 MK7, magnesium, B1 (benfotiamine), B2, B3, B5, B6, B12. I am on the keto lifestyle eating as well.
Too much vitamins can hurt you.. All are not needed.. Only rare cases of deficiency.. Otherwise they hurt.. Just eat balanced diet
What about only B6 an B12? I am very tired. Isn't D3 working better with K2 MK7?
Dr, If i use these supplements may go away the Epilepsy permanently?
How about valerian root?
And also should he take all these vitamin everyday? Or choose some , please help ...... should I give him all these vitamin everyday or select some ,and add them to his everyday meds ?? Please explain.thank you
Depending on the case. The only vitamin that is given to everyone is vitamin D. Ask your neurologist
