I do not have epilepsy but both my brothers do/did as well as my father so perhaps its related in the genes or something I dunno.

I NEVER had siezures and do not have epilepsy, not even as a teen or during my regression when I was 1. However, I am a potential carrier for a very serious and fatal form of epilepsy known as Lafora disease because I have Mediterranean ancestry (I am part Greek, and part Lebanese. My great grandparents were from Spain, France, and Italy).


So you're saying that everyone with a Mediterranean ancestry is a potential carrier of Lafora? :?
