Epilepsy is a type of brain disorder in which the brain has violent brain waves that are not common to the normal human body. A seizure is still unknown to how they are created through the body however doctors can say that they can be created from outside environment as said before or a bodily function that was traumatized, which would be seen in the head region. These outside sources can be created from alcohol, drugs, stress, time of day, or not enough sleep, there are other reasons for seizures but these are the most common. For years drugs were used as a way of subsiding and controlling these seizures but recently in the past 20 years a new treatment was found, the ketogenic treatment. This treatment consists of a mainly fat based diet with low-carbs. This helps because instead of using carbs as the main source of energy, the body uses kenotes. Kenotes are created through the burning of fats in the liver and are another source of energy. However, this does have side effects which do primarily effect cardio, which in turn will effect many athletes. Another treatment available a kind of medical marijuana that can be said to have helped from multiple tests. However younger children's parents are wary of this new treatment. What is Epilepsy?
