child epilepsy...

Hi!
My name is Diana and I have a 4 year old sick nephew who needs help. His name is Peter and he had a brain injury with hypoxia on birth. His condition is very difficult and I'm not searching for a miracle, but he would appreciate every help he can get. We live in a very small town and there are no homeopathy practitioners around here I could ask for advice. I've been reading about homeopathy and I think it could help him at least to improve his immunity and perhaps to lighten his epileptic attacks.
Since he can't talk,I can write only symptoms I could see.
- profuse perspiration, especially head, on beginning to sleep
- hunger - never refuses food; vomiting after eating, flatulence; always belching after meal ( although he eats very much he is very skinny )
- very sensitive on sounds, especially while sleeping
- epilepsy - with rigidity of limbs; blinking on right eye; engulfing; it is always with consciousness, with eyes wide open, frighten; attacks are more often while he is asleep, but also happens while he is awake; first attack when he was 1 year old ( now takes a lot of medications, with no success )
- hypotonia; holds his head, but limbs very weak
- nystagmus when he is tired and before he falls asleep; eyes disturbed by daily light - can't hold his eyes opened; purblind
- constipation - stool very hard, difficult
- nervous; scraping nose and eye ( always left eye )
- difficult breathing ( weak lungs, already had a few pneumoniae )
- he is blond with blue eyes, often with eczema on cheeks ( perhaps in relationship with allergy to flour, fish and bean )
- he is very gentle, likes to be dandled and kissed

Hope for an answer. Thank you!

Thank you for answer!
Vaccines are:
- BCG on birth and again in 9 months
- DPT+OPV - 3 months ( at that time he started to retch and appeared nystagmus-upward ) again 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 months
- MMR - 2 years and DT+OPV revaccination

Medications:
- he takes antiepileptics since he was 1 year old; first one was sodium valproate+sabril, and sinacten injections ( Sy West ); then seizures changed in ones he has until today; he took tegretol, lamictal, huma-zolamide, topamax, lorazepam, mysolin, rivotril and now he is on trileptal, sodium-valproate and frisium
He used antibiotics frequently since he often had colds, even pneumoniae, but not lately ( since winter ).

Head injury: he was born in 33rd week of pregnancy; delivery was very difficult and long. His mother was given medication named Ginipral to stop the labour. He cried on birth, weight 2.4 kg APGAR 7. He had asphyxia during first hours of life, but seems he wasn't put in the incubator for couple of hours ( they didn't tell us precisely ). He also had haemorrhage 1st degree on brain. He had jaundice ( bilirubin 112-234 )
Epilepsy - he have seizures every second-third day, usually few, not very frequent. Last seizure was today afternoon. I can't see any special simptoms before seizures, but after them he is very tired, exhausted, always belch, very flabby, sleepy
-the most notable symptoms during seizure are engulfing, swallowing or something like constant inpulse for retching ( nothing comes out ) and blinking on right eye ( it's alweys right one ); when it's over he takes a very deep breath and then belch; he has a gazed look, frighten ( sometimes even cries ).

No white spots nowhere.
Although he can't talk, he is very communicative, he likes to "sing" and laugh. He is physically very matured, but mentally retarded. Becouse of his condition he is not very immune so he often gets ill and since he already had few pneumoniae, we are always frighten that every cold he catch could take him in new pneumonia, which could be fatal for him.
Hope for new answer!
(P.S. Sorry for errors, english is not my native language, but I hope it's intelligible)

Belching is regular after every meal, so is flatulence; vomiting is mostly when he eats fluid food ( like yogurt ) or acid food.

He makes all kind of sounds, mumbling, shouting, like a child who's not talking yet ( some exact words ) but those sounds are very melodious, with long vowels.
He hates to drink water ( he takes it only with juice ); never refuses any food, but since allergy test was positive on wheat flour, fish and bean, we don't give it to him. He was always belching cow milk so we avoid it ( no confirmed allergy ). It's hard to tell about strong liking, since he always eats like he didn't eat anything for day's, no matter what food is it.

No warts; one mole on front side of thigh.
Eczema on cheeks, occasionally ( perhaps in relation with allergy; since we avoid the food he is allergic to, less appears ), treated with Elocom cream. Also one spot (5 mm) on his left hand, between his thumb and forefinger; reappears.

Mother have kidney problem ( one is too small, since she was a child ), also hormonal disbalance ( was on hormonal therapy few years before she was pregnant - Diane 35 ). One prgnancy before this one which ended in 6th month, twin girls, died 1 day after delivery. Mother also received progesteron durin pregnancy with Peter. Mother's sister died of liver cancer in 21st year. A lot of stress in family since we lived in war area for many years. In father's family lots of allergies.

I'm not sure what exactly "setting off" means. He abruptly benumbs ( legs; handfuls constrained ); sometimes, when seizure is strong, it becomes with scream, especially if it wakes him from deep sleep. Then starts "engulfing" and blinking.

Hello. Just found this forum today while searching for help with our son's seizures.

Our son's teacher has a boy with a lot of the same symptoms you describe. She finally found (on her own, mind you!), that he has Celiac disease, which is Gluten Intolerance. Look up all the symptoms from this -seizures is one of the many. Also, her son was always starving, gaseous and very, very skinny. Started looking like a little starving African baby you see in the newspapers.

I don't know if this will help or not, it's just a thought. Take care.
