Biological Epilepsy Cure Using Microbial Substances
I figured I would post my findings here as I've done from time to time. I have epilepsy and have had some success treating it with regular consumption of ginger, turmeric, probiotics. The only known case of cured epilepsy has come from a fecal microbiota transplant. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5442093/)
This led me down the rabbithole of microbiota in epilepsy. Turns out the main suspect bacteria is Streptococcus Pyogenes. It can form a biofilm in the sinuses and gut, and consumes Arginine, which is fundamental in GABA production (GABA is the opposite so to speak of Glutamate, the excitation neurotransmitter). This is significant because all "rescue medications" in epilepsy are benzodiazepine based, meaning they function by drastically and artificially increasing GABA.
Streptococcus Pyogenes consumes the precursor to GABA, creates low GABA, and causes seizures. By treating the underlying biofilm in the gut, epilepsy may be cured. Ginger is known to kill S. Pyogenes, along with Turmeric as well. Probiotics can help to reform the gut bacteria.
With fecal microbiota transplant, what is likely happening is that the recipient did not have the antibodies/immune system wiring to kill off the biofilm that S. Pyogenes creates, and on this basis, the transplant is able to kills this off.
I hope this research is able to help some like myself.
God Bless you all and wlil answer questions as I can.
