What I tend to find is the same old fear mongering, hearsay
and ranting as illustrated in the recent post I just came across.
If only one of their participants took the time to
investigate how many individuals die of Epilepsy each year never having
utilized VNS Therapy or how many individuals have died from the use of their
medications or from the absence of any therapy intervention it would help place
things in a more understandable perspective than the continuing hearsay. Instead one reads the same old
unsubstantiated ramblings.
In my opinion if individuals like these were all to have
their way as it pertains to each and every therapy there would be no treatment
options from which to choose and we’d be back to the Middle Ages in health care.
It is unfortunate, as it is with Depression patients, that
Epilepsy patients also have no way of knowing in advance who would or would not
respond favorably to any treatment and worse yet the potential for encountering
serious side-effects.
What is important is not to give up hope and to be reasonably
educated when undertaking any treatment option and then hoping for the best.
The fact that any therapy is a potential “god-send” at all when
all else has failed is enough to keep one’s hopes alive.
Warmly,
Herb
