    The most important thing is to eliminate processed grains! Not just a gluten free diet, but a processed-grain-free diet. Try it and see how much better you feel. Also take B12 daily in the form of methylcobalamin.

    Looking back to my childhood, I can see a lot of red flags as an adult. Didn't have epilepsy or any learning disability that I am aware of. I did however have a lot of anxiety, the occasional panic attacks. Air hunger, etc etc.. I've always been a poor sleeper. My Mom used to tell me that as a baby, I rarely ever took naps. I've struggled with insomnia on and off for years. As a child, I also had chronic sinus infections and two sinus surgeries by the age of 8. Allergies, food intolerances, and at one point, even displaying asthmatic symptoms, but somehow I overcame that.
