Epilepsy is the result of interference or damage to the neurological pathways of the brain circuitry. In today's chemically/electronically toxic world there are literally thousands of causative agents, and in any serious examination of this topic it is important to identify the worst ones.

That brings us to the what I am certain is the single most responsible substance for the rapidly rising rate of epilepsy and also brain cancer: cell phone microwave radiation. The World Health Organization (WHO) apparently believes the same because in June 2011 they declared a causative relationship between cell phone use and brain cancer.

DNA

Brain cancer before the introduction of the cell phone, aka mobile, was almost unheard of. This is very unpleasant news, because the cell phone is such an extremely useful device. Since the late 1990s however, brain cancer rates have been steadily rising. The reason for this is simple. Cell phones use microwave radiation, which mutates or breaks the DNA, the basic cellular blueprint from which new cells are made.

CHEMICAL NEUROTOXINS AND CHRONIC NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES

Chemical neurotoxins, or poisons, are the other of the two most serious threats to brain health. The worst offenders by far are the pesticides known as the organophosphates such as parathion and malathion.

The reason that these poisons are so deadly has to do with their ability to permanently destroy cholinesterase, a group of enzymes that stop acetylcholine, one of the neurotransmitters, from continuously firing across the synapses. Without cholinesterase, the synapses continue to fire, which is what causes the continuous jerking of muscles.
