 I think we agree on most of what you are saying. In my decade of experience the modern day doctor is most often a drug and test pusher. Pushing for different pills when the last one did not work after a few amount increases. The side-effects are terrible (speaking from experience).

I agree with you that diet and exercise are probably the best solutions (not cures) for dealing with #epilepsy. However, most doctors are not trained to take this approach these days because of the money issue you pointed out. 

It is very hard to find a doctor who is worth trusting. One that will take the time to get to know you as a person rather than a customer.

I saw a meme yesterday pointing out how corporations will likely prolong the problem they are supposed to provide a solution for. The medical industry has been plagued by this for far too long.
