Similarly, drug muskulorelaksan managed to lose muscle tone lacking in celebral palsy type spastik and atetosis. 

In people with epilepsy are given maintenance anti seizure that is adapted to the characteristics of his seizures, for example, luminal, partial. Celebral palsy on medicines provision aims to improve behaviour disorders, neuro-motor and to control the attack strain.

On the other hand the disease Epilepsy is a chronically nervous diseases give rise to repetitive unprovoked surprise attack..There is a diet that is suitable for sufferers of epilepsy, the pronunciation is ketogenik diet.Epilepsy is a symptom that can happen to anyone either children or adults.

Katogenik Diet:

In addition to taking medication with anti epileptic, it turns out there is another method which is able to reduce the likelihood of onset of seizures in patients with epilepsy. The method is known by the name of ketogenik diet program. In fact, ketogenik diet has been known since the 1920s. However this method started being abandoned along with the discovery of anti-epilepsy drugs. This diet is carried out by way of reducing the consumption of carbohydrates and fat as the main source of energy.

For example by consuming high-fat content foods such as chocolate, butter, meat, and mayonaise, and avoid the consumption of rice and potatoes. Due to the use of fat as an energy source, then the process of the formation of energy goes through the burning of fat. The fat burning process can increase the number of compounds ketones in the body which is the residual fat burning compounds. This is considered a ketone can prevent damage to the central nervous system, which in turn can reduce the frequency of seizures.

This proven diet can lower the incidence of seizure frequency in children, but these diets are relatively difficult to run. Because patients are only allowed to consume fatty foods, the body will experience a shortage of a variety of important nutrients, such as vitamins B, C and d. greater Risk is the onset of decreased blood sugar dramatically due to the restrictions on the consumption of carbohydrates, including sugar. Diarrhea and Kidney stone disorder also often occur. Thus before and during the run of this diet program, you should consult a doctor.

The Dietary Glutamate and Aspartate:

In addition to ketogenik, there diet diet also can help control the symptoms of seizures in patients with epilepsy. This is done by restricting dietary intake of glutamate and aspartate. This diet is relatively more easy to do because it just have to avoid food containing glutamate and aspartate only.


The amino acid glutamate and aspartate can cause nerve stimulation is excessive so that trigger the onset of seizures in patients with epilepsy. Glutamate is often consumed in the form of Mono-Sodium glutamate (MSG), which is widely used as a food flavouring. While aspartic can get into the body through the consumption of aspartame that is used as an artificial sweetener. So, an easy way to avoid the incidence of seizures is to stay away from foods that use artificial sweetener and flavor enhancer. Consume foods that naturally enough alone.
