My Mother's Television : An Effective Option Before Diving Into Brain Surgery

I can not describe the feeling of terror I had, when I looked at an army of soldiers, who once were humans. But now they looked a lot more like the living dead, many of the people had their skin a very Grey tint, as well as their bodies having the appearance of someone who had been operated on. Their bodies had visible stitches on them, but most noticeable was their eye glowed various colors. This was likely because they had been operated on the people, during the experiment to transform them from human to a machine. Although the surgery looked quite painful, to say the least, I was glad that these Soldiers had lost their humanity. Because if they did have their wits about them, if they did they would've realized, that they were more machine than men or women. This would of course problems, because they had shed lots of blood,

Psychiatrists observed that after spontaneous epileptic seizure the psychiatric conditions of patients improved. Previously, in the sixteenth-century, Paracelsus, a Swiss physician and alchemist gave camphor by mouth to produce convulsions and to cure lunacy. Originally, the induced convulsions treated severe catatonic stupors and schizophrenia. Today we know the convulsions are secondary to grand mal seizures in the brain, and that the seizure is the primary therapeutic agent of electroconvuslive therapy (ECT). Metrazol and Cardiazol later replaced Camphor because of its rapid onset. The extremely

The nutritional dietary consumption of carbohydrates is between 55-75% for the vast majority of the global population as their main source of food intake and energy.  And the general populous continues to be misinformed by government agencies regarding what a normal, healthy diet, should be, as well as what a balanced diet looks like.  Eating a low-carb high-fat, or ketogenic, diet of high fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrates can provide many health benefits as compared to the alternative of an unhealthy diet. Research suggests that a ketogenic diet builds a healthier body than

Seizure disorders, according to the Mayo Clinic (2015), affect approximately 1 in 26 people in the United States. Persistent, or chronic, seizures result from a condition called epilepsy, a neurological disorder of the central nervous system. It can affect anyone regardless of age, but is more common during early childhood and after age 60. Given the number of people that seizure disorders, such as epilepsy, affect, it becomes helpful to gain a foundational understanding of the disease, including some of the causes, symptoms, and treatments available.

The ketogenic diet; one of the oldest treatments for epilepsy is based on the creation of ketones in the body. The creation of ketone bodies is accomplished through high fat intake, carbohydrate depletion and a fasting-metabolism; over long periods of time. When the body is in a fasting state, it creates ketones, a by-product of a fat-burning metabolism. It has long been recognized that seizures often lessen or disappear during periods of fasting in some individuals with epilepsy (Richard Senelick, 2014). This fat-burning metabolism is slowly become popular amongst dieters and endurance athletes. Besides the clear loss of body fat there is the increase in brain processes that create extreme amounts of clarity.

Author, Emily V. Gordon, in her article, “The TV Cure”, tells about mental illness and how TV can help. Gordon’s purpose is to inform others of the cure TV can be for mental illness. She adopts a praising tone in order to get her readers to understand the helpfulness of recent TV shows. Author, Emily V.

The prognosis for Epilepsy is if you take the medication you can be seizure free. Surgery can also eliminate seizures. The Ketogenic diet can reduce seizures.

When the problem of epileptic seizures occurs within a person, an option with dealing with it is known as Split Brain Surgery. Albeit, it is a very drastic option.

People uneducated about Epilepsy may have confused thoughts on what it really is. People have these "notions," which are partly or entirely not true. So, throughout this research paper, these notions will be proven untrue, mostly by factual information given by

The classic ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet developed in the 1920s to treat epilepsy by mimicking the biochemical changes associated with periods of limited food availability. The diet was originally composed of 80–90% fat, with carbohydrate and protein constituting the remainder of the intake. Energy is largely derived from the utilization of body fat and by fat delivered in the diet. These fats are converted to the ketone bodies β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone, which represent an alternative energy source to glucose. In comparison with glucose, ketone bodies have a higher inherent energy. Ketone bodies readily cross the blood–brain barrier either by simple diffusion (acetone) or with the aid of monocarboxylic transporters (β-hydroxybutyrate,

The Ketogenic Diet is a way of eating that is becoming increasingly popular within fitness and health communities. The Ketogenic Diet began as a way of eating to combat Alzheimer’s disease along with neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease (Davis, n.d.). In the past decade it has become widely known for its weight loss benefits. As of recent, many famous public figures and professional athletes have further popularized the concept of the Ketogenic Diet. Many years ago, the Ketogenic Diet began as a way to combat diseases and neurological disorders, but has since then become a much more popular tool for weight loss.

Many people are familiar with a low carbohydrate diet and the keto diet falls within those parameters, but it has some distinct additions which are considered paramount to its

In this research analysis I will be looking at the effects of a ketogenic diet on a person’s health and if it can in fact make people live longer, but first what is a ketogenic diet? A ketogenic or ‘keto diet’ is basically a very low carb, very high fat diet where in practice calories from carbs are often brought down to 5%, proteins to 20 % and fats up to about 75% of your caloric intake. It is used mainly for children with epilepsy who continue to have seizures despite treatment with anti-epileptic drugs and has been suggested to cut seizure frequency [Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2016]. This diet

The most common digestive side effect of the ketogenic diet is constipation. According to a single-center, retrospective study of 48 children using a ketogenic diet as an alternative treatment for epilepsy, 65 percent experienced constipation.

Epilepsy is a condition in which a person has two or more seizures affecting a variety of mental and physical functions. Epilepsy is one of the oldest conditions of the human race. Epilepsy Awareness is important because Epilepsy is a widely misunderstood disorder. The reason that Epilepsy has been misunderstood has been mainly due to research not being conducted until the middle of the nineteenth century. There are six main types of seizures and many treatments that can assist an epileptic patient. Many facts and myths exist about a person who has Epilepsy, which, is why it is an important disorder to understand. A person living with Epilepsy can typically have a normal life after seeking medical advice from doctors.
