are/is there another alternative medication for your Son at all?

Carl

I have adult ADHD and take Strattera daily. I was taking another med that made me anxious and figgity (spelling) as well as
snappy towards others before being reffered to another specialist Doc. (military family here) and they started me on the Strattera
about a yr. and a half ago and I have been tons better ever sense.

just an example of an alternate Med. that helped me out.

Check up on it  and see if there is another alternative Med. if at all possible.

You left out Sodium fluoride (rat poison) In water and Prozac and many other drugs.

Rusty,
It's likely that there are only tiny traces of most of those chemicals actually in the medicine that are used in the process of making the medication "levetiracetam".  Keppra is the brand name of that medication.  Levetiracetam is the FDA approved Generic.
The side effects of most effective anti-convulsant medications are pretty severe.  They may be able to reduce his dosage and help some.

Seizures are terrible things that require drastic measures in some cases.

I'm very sorry about your son's condition.  I had a close friend who was on this same medication for over a year.  In his case the side effects did get better after a period of time as his body adjusted.  He was a good deal older than your son.

Listerine for sure and maybe some other mouth washes. Two ingredients are  know to be components that make up  antifreeze. A friends wife works in a dental office. When they heard of that they found out it was true from the mouth wash Rep. Something else I believe it is in the canned ice tea. Parts of the ingredients are components of paint stripper.
 Any body know what all is going into our tape water... I'm afraid to even know the answer to that one.

It is credited to Paracelsus who expressed the classic toxicology maxim "All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison."

Essentials like Water, Oxygen, Vitamin A, etc etc etc. can all be taken in lethal doses. Look at Boric Acid, it's in Visine, and also in Roach & Flea Powder.

I hope you find a way to best deal with a horrible situation.

I have a good friend in his early 40's who has been having siezures for over a year, but they just recently had him cease all use of SUGAR and he is doing so much better he might be able to drive again in a few months.  You might want to look into that as a partial solution.  You're in our prayers!

Sounds like you could save allot of money by simply visiting the paint department of your local Lowe's and formulating your own pills.

Randy, that is my point.  Why does known poison have to be in medicine at all?  It cannot be good for the human body in any amount.  I believe the government should not approve medications with poison in it.   They can make it without those chemicals if they wanted to.  

The same thing happened to US veterans in the war with Iraq.  The vaccinations caused them to be harmed and the drug companies AND government said it was "Iraq war syndrome."  It wasn't until Air Force veterans got the diseases these vaccinations gave and the drug company and government said the same thing AND it was proven the Air Force did not actually go to Irag, all they got was the vaccinations.  

Yes, seizures are bad, but adding poison to the medicine does not help them either.  

The Food and Drug companies RUN the food and drug administration department. The FDA is not protecting us.  

Rusty,
The simple truth is that making and refining most drugs is a very complicated process that requires dilution and re-composition of many different chemicals to arrive at the particular compound that gives the desired effects.  Most of these chemicals are used for dissolving different compounds and substances and arriving at titrations, that help to refine the desired components of the medication.  Most of them are then removed as much as possible and probably exist in such tiny amounts that they have little to no affect in the final compound.  The side effects are in fact created in nearly all cases simply by the drug itself and the body's reaction to that drug which is in reality the necessity of trying to correct a dangerous condition that exists, sometimes a simple chemical imbalance in the organs being treated.

The FDA and the medical profession try to weigh risks against the certainties of a particular disease or condition and determine which is worse.  In many cases these medications with severe side effects are used to simply curb the certainty of death of the patient.  Sometimes, not often enough unfortunately, they accomplish that until a better solution can be found.

I do not think that the drug industry and the FDA and physicians are the terrible money grubbing organization that many people seem to think they are.

Most are good dedicated people trying to do a nearly impossible job.

Most people live longer, and are much healthier today than ever before because of them.

I do hope they can come to a happy medium with your son. 

[Randy Cuberly]

Randy,  I respect your opinion about the medical community, but disagree.  I think 100% opposite.  I think they are out to make a buck and whatever it takes to get that done, will be done.

Read this story about a CDC scientist who was part of creating a fraudulent study saying vaccinations did not cause autism.  It so happens my son got autism from the vaccination and these same people have been lying and lying about it.  The truth finally came out, but our government that is controlled by corporations is not going to do squat about it.  READ and SEE for yourself.

I have been told my son's autism and now seizures are genetic.  Well I had him tested in November and he does not have any genetic abnormality at all.   

You think your government is honest about drugs, READ THIS:  Here is found our troops were POISONED by vaccinations.

Randy, I don't believe the drug industry or the government give a damn about us and will poison anyone, including children in order to make a buck.   

Rusty,
I realize these are difficult times for you, and you have my sincerest condolences about your sons difficulties.

My only guidance is not to believe everything you read on the net or in the news.  You will find that most of those people have their own axe to grind and often stretch the truth or sometimes talk about things they know nothing about in reality.

It's really strange for me to be defending our current "Government" and in actuality I'm not.  But to paint everyone in the Medical Industry with a broad black brush is even worse.

I would simply point out that 100 years ago most of on this forum, myself included, would not be alive at our age were it not for those dedicated folks in the medical industry that you would seem to want to destroy!

Again, I'm very sorry for your son's distress and will pray that He gets the attention he needs to overcome this terrible thing that has happened to him.  If it does it will likely come in the form of a new drug from one of those "villians" in the medical industry!
