Epilepsy with a Genetic Mutation of the Potassium Gene and Tachycardia, Autopathy as a Supportive Method.
- Girl Born in 2013
- Christmas 2020 — hospitalized with a grand mal seizure — diagnosis: epilepsy.
- Throughout the year, smaller seizures in the form of staring spells.
- February 2022 — major worsening — she stopped understanding spoken language, and complaints of heart palpitations were added.
- Hospitalization, high doses of corticosteroids.
- Tachycardia was found.
- After the corticosteroids she was better, then tonsillitis, antibiotics — worsening.
- Genetic examination — 2023, result: mutation of the potassium gene.
- Searching for alternative treatment.
- At that time, heart palpitations several times a day, pulse up to 190, at first only for a few seconds, then it worsened to half an hour.
- Epilepsy — high-voltage continuous discharges in both hemispheres. According to the genetic results, they were told that it would most likely remain this bad.
- Autopathy — September 2022.
- First month — saliva and breath, 3 liters, once a week.
- Second month — boiled saliva and breath, once a week.
- During the first month on autopathy, the heart palpitations began to subside to 2–3 times a week.
- 2023 — three check-ups at neurology — the EEG was always a little better.
- Spring 2024 — check-up at neurology, EEG again better; the discharges were no longer continuous and were only on the left side of the brain.
- There are no heart problems at all.
- Autopathy — the same as until now. After a year they tried increasing boiled saliva and breath to 4.5 l, but with that the heart palpitations occasionally returned, so they went back to 3 l twice a week.
- Autumn 2024 — EEG again somewhat better.
- Spring 2025 — EEG again better; in the report — average healthy brain activity, occasionally some discharge in the posterior part of the brain.
- The professor suggested reducing the dose of the medicine Orfiril.
- June 2025 — increase of boiled saliva and breath to 4.5 l, but the heart palpitations appeared again, so back again to 3 l twice a week, then improvement.
- November 2025 — neurology — clear EEG without discharges, further reduction of medication.
