Art of Epilepsy does not provide medical advice and has no opinion about whether the ideas it presents represent good or bad medical advice. Consult your doctor, as they say. Nonetheless we thought this was an interesting bit of seizure culture, a therapist who addresses seizures through yoga.

This web site is devoted to conveying information about epilepsy. It seems very dated. Although based on shockwave technology (a plugin), the last comments date to 2001. (Did shockwave even exist in 2001? Apparently so!) A “bizcom” review of the site is dated June 12, 2002. Note the small screen size for which it is optimized, and many design features which speak of ancient web design. It is interesting that this site is still online, and it is probably more interesting as an artifact of 10 year old web design than as a statement about how epilepsy is represented.
