Thank you for your suggestions. I could not follow the instruction in number one,
but the whole idea of conscious counteracting seizures felt underways is good.
Personally I can suggest the following.
First I will put in, that I started with grand mal, which was changed to partial
seizures by alternative medicine. The focus is i the right half brain, the cramops in
the left side of the body.
If there is traffic where I sense that signals are coming too fast from right to left,
then I can try to follow cars going from left to right. This focussing will brake down
the signals, if I on the other hand look at cars going right towards left I accelerate
the signals and get a seizure.
Another trick I have, and have instructed a selected people to help with, is to
change from my native tongue Danish to French. My french is lying extremely to the
left side in my left half brain. It is so far from the focus, thar I can be "taken out " of
the starting seizure.
Also I pray to God. This is maybe the strongest method, because this can
sometimes stop a seizure that has passed all borders and threasholds.
yours sincerely
