Format:Paperback
This landmark publication allowed me to look at epilepsy as a challenge instead of a tragedy. Using its philosophy, the techniques outlined in it have helped me to change from a victim to someone who has taken control of her life. I have learned to observe myself inside and out and have changed the patterns which trigger seizures in me. After all, as the book points out, "the disorder that causes epilepsy is there all the time, but the seizures are not". This approach treats the whole person, not merely the symptoms of this malady and the book is written simply although the message is profound. I highly recommend this to patients and professionals.

It is amazing how much information is contained in 272 small pages. From a history of mankind's attitudes and treatments, to the effect on the lives of famous people, from modern terminology, to modern conventional treatments, to methods of achieving control without chemical dependence, to guidelines for documenting experiences. Truly amazing! I hope others will share experiences with me. Wes Johnson w9zxx@aol.com

This book is technically informative in easy to understand terms. But more importantly, you no longer feel condemed by your Epilepsy. It teaches you methods to control seizures instead of them controlling you. I felt so uplifted and hopeful after reading only half of the book!
