Medical Marijuana License Holder, illustrator and co-author of Mommy's Funny Medicine has an epileptic seizure. Very graphic, very informative.
This is not for fun, it is for education.
Rude comments will be left on, to show people the kind of abuse we are often subjected to.

here are some tips on reducing seizures:
here is what we tell everyone (but do your own research first, cross reference, ask around, talk to your doctor about this....) but this has been our experience.....
Diet:
no alcohol
or sugar
or white bread
or gluten
or salt
NO EGGS!!!! for god's sake!
or dairy of any kind
or artificial sweeteners
no carbonation
no red meat (beef, venison, etc)
NO bottled water
no processed foods
no energy drinks!
no caffeine
no tobacco
when I mean no, i mean none at all. Not a little or cutting back - I mean none.
at all.
40% of your diet should be fibre
lots of:
organic rice and legumes and fruits and veggies and filtered water and organic juices organic chicken and fish. Seaweed is also a good source of protein. lentils, etc
avoid dehydration and constipation
avoid flashing things like TV stores and MTV and video games and so on. even the sunlight through trees while travelling in a vehicle can set them off if the flicker is just right
fluorescent tube lights in malls and libraries and doctor's offices can cause problems too,
avoid pharmaceuticals of all kinds if you can. once you get clean of gross foods and pharmaceuticals, you might not be having seizures often enough to need pharmaceuticals.
stop wearing underarm deodorant!!!! most of them have propylene glycol in them. get some healthy stuff from the health food store. ask them lost of questions about herbal remedies and non-toxic stuff.
do yoga
meditate
lead a slow, retired-person lifestyle
but also, get enough exercise...... be in the best shape you can be, without overdoing it
move out of the city if you can, and stay out if you can. clean air, clean brain.
as for marijuana:
If you are under the age of 18-19, you should not be using cannabis because there is some science to suggest that it interferes with the development of the frontal lobe of the brain. Also, smoking is a dirty way to deliver it, and street pot is often contaminated with chemicals due to poor growing techniques.
cannabis is an anticonvulsant that will generally reduce the likelihood of seizures, but lifestyle (not challenging the organism so it is likely to seize) is far more important.
also, not just ANY pot will do. clean organic pot is the way to go. KNOW YOUR GROW. get some books and consult websites about ORGANIC cannabis.

Christine medicates every 2-4 hrs with cannabis, which keeps the seizures from happening (more or less). She uses the volcano vaporizer, which avoids the danger of smoking.
