My Experiences of Prevention The Disorder of Epilepsy

The motivation for this project was based upon my own personal experiences with Elipepsy. I myself do not have the disorder, and without divulging too much personal information, I have a relative whom suffers and it has been a tough struggle at times. The terrifying nature of an actual seizure can be everlasting on any witnesses, especially if they are young. The goal is to make a preventable disorder, completely obsolete. I have seen enough suffering period, and starting with a cause close to home provides a necessary motivation to fight! A bit of insight brings a new awareness to the children this disorder affects. Some cases even made famous through social media videos; some children in fact experience over a dozen seizures a day, but can not receive help as their cures are still outlawed. The derivative of most natural cures are banned to increase trade amongst pharmaceutical branches. Big change needs to happen on a Federal level, and then the health care (and even education) systems can improve, but that is a project for another time.

The Walk to End Epilepsy is also a program which helps anyone walk, and encourages health amongst a willing audience. Epileptics are also discriminated against, in terms of employment and relationships. People have a stigma to such a confounding, and utmost random disorder. The nature of seizures can be brought on by stress, but stressors are natural, and seizures (without medication) are inevitable. It is key to know of cures, and not be skeptical of real solutions (that may have been looked down upon in the past). CBD and cannabanoid based oils have shown to be incredibly potent when fighting the onset triggers of seizures. Funding reasonably priced, and derivative medicines are crucial to finding eventual cures. The key is to work together in finding a mass produced and cost effective cure, and a movement starts with attention to the disorder.

Again, Epilepsy is not as prominent as other disorders on the autism spectrum, but 1 in 3 children do experience symptoms of Epilepsy and in some children this proves to be lethal. My own experiences and my knowledge on awareness for Epilepsy has provided real heart into the work and words I have written throughout... I want it to be known that far beyond the submission of this project, I will still do what I can to play a part in stopping Epilepsy.
