My daughter Sarah had grand mal seizures. Her lips turned blue. I was positioning my hands to start CPR when she gasped for air.
Western medicine called it idiopathic epilepsy — unknown cause — and offered her a lifetime of medication. I refused to accept unknown as an answer.
Sarah's last seizure was August 23, 2021. Keppra, prescribed the next day, stopped the seizures. On September 10, 2021 — eighteen days later — Dr. Camile identified the root mechanism: impaired conversion of glutamate (excitatory) to GABA (inhibitory), driven by B vitamin deficiency, MTHFR gene variants, and candida overgrowth from antibiotic use that was stealing nutrients from her gut before they could reach her brain. Sarah worked with a holistic physician on the root causes alongside her prescribed medication, and eventually tapered off Keppra under supervision. The nutritional work is what let her stay seizure-free after coming off medication — not what stopped the seizures in the first place. She has been off all anti-epileptic medication for over two years.
Then my dachshund Koe had his first seizure on May 17, 2024 — the same pattern I'd seen before. Grand mal clusters lasting approximately two hours, on a predictable schedule. I applied the framework to canine neurology, scaled by weight and adjusted for canine physiology. His post-protocol events are five-minute mild seizures, and he remains fully conscious throughout. The interval between events has extended past forty-five days and continues to hold.
This booklet is the complete account of both journeys — told honestly, including what I know and what I cannot prove.
