• Anti-epilepsy drugs for adults  "About 75% of people with epilepsy no longer have seizures once the best medication is found for them."
• Anti-epilepsy drugs for children.
• Surgery
• Complimentary Therapies. Includes Relaxation techniques such as  aromatherapy, reflexology and acupuncture as well as biofeedback, herbal, homeopathy and diet. "They are best used together with conventional medication, as a complementary therapy."
• Ketogenic Diet.  "... a high fat, low carbohydrate, low protein diet which has been used since the 1920s for the treatment of epilepsy in children.... A UK study began in November 2001, to compare the effectiveness and level of tolerance of the two types of ketogenic diet.... Early results of the study suggest that the ketogenic diet can dramatically reduce or end seizures in a significant number of children with severe epilepsy"
• Vagus Nerve Stimulation "Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a form of treatment used alongside anti-epileptic drugs, for people whose epilepsy is difficult to control. VNS involves mild electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve, which is in the neck. The stimulation travels up the vagus nerve and into the areas of the brain believed to be involved in producing seizures. These regular electrical signals may reduce the number or length of seizures."

In his "Letter to Oprah Winfrey", Noel N. Batten writes

"When my mother and I were told by one of the most respected specialists in medicine that medical experts did not know the answers we were looking for to explain epilepsy, then I found those answers in the medical library three floors directly above him, I felt he had cheated me out of life itself. The only answer is to know the truth, as it is only the truth that will make you free."

In his letter to Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan, Noel writes:

Neck tension and finger twitching is a very common symptom in suppressed grief
It is also very common for people who have difficulty grieving after the loss of a loved family member, to experience mind overactivity during sleep and develop excessive one sided neck tension which causes finger twitching, within days of their loss, and for those symptoms to disappear after going through counseling sessions that eliminate their grief.

This is so common I have been able to observe, people who suppress grief over the loss of “a male” from their family, experience stress in the prefrontal cortex of the left brain hemisphere to cause excessive tension in the right neck muscle which effects the right arm and hand. Alternatively, I have also noticed people who suppress grief over the loss of “a female” from their family, experience stress in the prefrontal cortex of the right brain hemisphere to cause excessive tension in the left neck muscle which effects the left arm and hand.

I have treated many average people with this finger twitch stress reaction
I have eliminated this stress reaction in many average people by pushing pressure against the 5th, or 6th, cervical nerve, which “instantly” stops the finger from twitching. Other treatments such as massaging and relaxing the neck muscle, realigning misaligned vertebra, doing deep breathing exercises and improving sleep, has always solved the finger twitching problem permanently, providing the person was willing to overcome the lifestyle stress factors that cause the mind overactivity which created the excessive neck muscle tension.

I developed a thumb twitch in my right hand when I developed epilepsy
Just prior to experiencing my first epileptic seizure at age 13, I developed a thumb twitch in the thumb of my right hand, which was present several mornings when I awoke. When this twitch was at it’s worst, it became so severe I had difficulty writing when I went to school. Years later I realised, I developed this thumb twitch due to the mental stress I experienced through hearing my father abuse my mother in their adjoining room the night before.

I suffered left brain overactivity to create
right hand twitching and the onset of epilepsy
The left brain hemisphere is the side that responds to, "security, priorities and male issues” and after listening to my father abuse my mother, I fell asleep with anger towards a male, who caused insecurity in our family. Due to hearing those arguments taking place just before I fell asleep, I took the resulting stress into sleep with me, which caused the prefrontal cortex of my left brain hemisphere to be overactive during sleep. This, in turn, lowered my breathing during sleep, prevented me from achieving the deep R.E.M. stage of healing sleep, which caused me to lack energy the next day and created the excessive tension in my right neck muscle which caused the twitching in my right thumb.

To eliminate this thumb tremor, my mother would massage my right neck muscle which was extremely tense whenever my thumb was twitching and as she did, she would tell me to take deep breaths and say these words in my mind: “Everything is all right now, because God is shining His light inside my neck muscle and it is relaxed again." After she did this for several minutes, my thumb twitching gradually subsided until it was completely gone.

My mother told me my thumb was shaking because my neck muscle was excessively tense and I believe it was our Christian family doctors, Dr Charles Dines who informed her of this muscular tension, nerve strangulation response. She also told me, if my thumb began to shake at school, I was to relax my neck muscles by moving my head around, taking deep breaths and telling myself God was shining His light inside my neck, and this approach always worked.

How could any experienced medical person possibly ignore the fact that hand problems are a reflection of hand nerves being suppressed at the neck by cervical curvature, misaligned vertebra or excessive neck muscle tension? This is the most basic of all physiological functions covered in every anatomy class in every medical school.
