THE MYSTERY OF EPILEPSY. Are the myths factual?

The epilepsies are a spectrum of brain disorders ranging from severe, life-threatening and disabling, to ones that are much more benign. This is caused by anything that may destruct or that may alter normal brain functioning. Epilepsy may develop because of an abnormality in brain wiring, an imbalance of nerve signaling chemicals i.e. neurotransmitters, changes in important features of brain cells, or some combination of these and other factors. However, it is worth noting that seizures as a result of high fever i.e. febrille seizure is not epilepsy. Seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells in the brain signal abnormally, which may briefly alter a person's consciousness, movements or actions. though not mostly spoken of, it is important to note that epilepsy affects approximately 65million people worldwide.
Having this condition does not necessarily translate to immobility or inability of the affected individual. Epilepsy can be treated though it the duration and type of treatment varies from individual to another. Depending with the type of seizure and the rate of occurrence, epileptics can either be subjected to medication of surgery. However, important to note is that Epilepsy surgery is an option for people with focal seizures that remain resistant to treatment. Though, anti-convulsants may still be needed however much the surgery targets to control the problem completely.
However, society has come up with a series of myths and misconceptions that have no physiological, anatomical nor pathological justification when considering epileptic cases. Myths such a:

1. You can swallow your tongue during a seizure.

2. You should restrain someone having a seizure.

3. Epilepsy is contagious

4. People with epilepsy are disabled and can't work

5. You should force something into the mouth of someone having a seizure

6. Epilepsy is rare and there aren't many people who have it

7. You can't die from epilepsy.

8. People with epilepsy are physically limited in what they can do e.t.c. are all assumptions and barbaric assertions that lack or rather have no any evidential link with the pathophysiology of Epilepsy. Most of them are contradictory of the the reality when it comes to epileptic patients.

With timely appropriate medical intervention, it is possible to live with a epilepsy and at last get well. Considering that there are a number of causes of epileptic seizures, it is worth noting that the treatment shall also vary. When it is a genetic condition, epilepsy may be challenging to fully manage.
Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder after migraine, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Its prevalence is greater than autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease combined. But the society has neglected it for long and believed in nonfactual information that has from time to time stagnated the progress in controlling this disease from the face of earth.
Although there exist a number of drugs, their side effects have to be given a consideration before use. Hence the necessity for a prescription from a qualified medical personnel.

SOMEONE WARN MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY ASSEMBLIES THAT WE ARE TIRED AND DON'T WORK TO LISTEN TO THEIR "GIMMICKS".

A county assembly in session.

The go slow and cold war going on between the Salaries and remuneration commission(SRC) and the members of county assemblies(MCAs) actually is not what we deserve in this modern society. It is apparent that there is some truth that the MCAs are hiding from the public and trying to be opportunistics to win the mercy of the masses(Argumentum adpopulum)

It is unrealistic how a son can be born and immediately demand equal status to a father. In my view, the MCAs noise making is vague and deserve no public attention. It is clear that they are doing these at the expense of the common Kenyan whose economy remains stagnated because of lack of clear policies.

The recent calls by few, whom I will term "Social-political Elites" telling these greedy members to go back home was worth it. Before they sought to be elected, it is clear that they knew what were to be their terms of service and unless stated otherwise, understood the mandate of the SRC.

Had they known that this offer was not worth their work, the following were possible alternatives;

1. They had a choice of not vying for those posts and continue with that which they used to do to get more money.

2. As some claim they used cash to campaign, they had opportunity to control how much they use in campaign so that it is equivalent to what they earn.

3. They had to tell Isaac Hassan not to conduct elections because salaries were too low.

4. And finally they still have an alternative of resigning and going to do those jobs that may acrue them alot of money.

I take this chance to warn you for free that you have to pray hard that majority of Kenyans remain ignorant by 2017 so that you win again. Similarly, you can also pray that they forget all the nonsense and immature character you are depicting and consequently vote for you.

But you are unlucky because God will never forget your greed, malice and opportunistic character you are depicting. You are ,misusing precious time you were given at the expense of a poor Kenyan. 

I can't forget to congratulate the few who are still working hard to serve their electorate. Keep it up!

But the "Human pigs" watch out. That which you are taking shall choke you.

May God bless Kenya and save Kenyans from the hands of all gree

dy leaders.

LET'S INTERACT HERE AND TALK OF DENIED JUSTICE

NIGHT PRAYER

In the name of the Father + and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Omnipotent God, we praise You this night because through Your infinite power and divine grace, we have come safely through this day. Grant us, O Lord, our God, a restful night and a perfect end to this day. Keep us from every evil dream and fantasy so that the devil would not harm our body and soul with sin. Free us from every evils of the night and welcome us under the shadow of Your divine protection. Keep us as the apple of Your eyes and send Your Holy Angels to watch over us, in our sleep and when we awake to the glory of God. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

SHOULD WE PAY MURDER BY MURDER? DOES THE RELIGION ALLOW THAT?

Today I was shocked when a friend told me about her wish to see a church burned down so as to teach the congregants a lesson. When I asked why, the answer was "Wametuzoea sana" however she did not further explain it. what is the meaning of this? Is it justified to pay a wrong by another one?

The events that unfolded today at Coast leaving four people dead could be used by a child to argue this and win the day. We all woke up in grief with following the sudden demise of sheikh Ibrahim. But sincerely, did we need to to compensate his life with lives of other innocent citizens?

Is it justified by any religious doctrine?

Is it a even justified by any judicial doctrine?

Shall we not be one day held accountable for this? 

Murder is a crime. It Has got not justification.

May God have mercy on us all.

LET'S STOP THIS RELIGIOUS WAR THAT'S LOOMING, FOR COOLING IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE.

Unless we completely prove that we are less concerned with what is going on in our country, it is important and worth noting that the events that have been unfolding in the recent past are more than scaring and a communication of a hot future we may be expecting as a nation. After the westgate attack in Nairobi, few, who were by then seen as societal gimmicks raised an alarm of a religious war but it didn't sound for it was good "We are one" won the day.

But what's the reality of the matter on the ground?

Were we one just for hours?

Were we one just to heal the wounds?

Does it mean few individuals with negative attitude represent a group of people nowadays?

Isn't it true that a religious war is looming hot in Kenya?

Todays events at the coast were a clear indication of a religious war that am talking about. If "you" suspect it's police who killed a leader, why burn down a sanctuary of God?

What's the logic behind it?

What if the assasin was an nihilist?

A religious War!

Just as I said, Calming it after eruption will be costly than preventing it from happening now.

DEPUTY PRESIDENT WILLIAM RUTO LEAVES FOR THE HAGUE AFTER A BREAK IN HIS TRIALS. Safe Journey.

Deputy President of Kenya, Hon. William Ruto

Kenya’s deputy president is said to be leaving tonight for the International Criminal Court of justice(ICCJ) at the Hague, Netherlands tonight. The plane carrying the DP is set to leave today at 10pm.
Hon. Ruto got a break during his trials after westgate mall was attacked by terrorists allegedly linked to the Somali based Al Qaeda group, Al shabaab. The attack claimed the lives of more than 60 people and left hundreds injured. Hon. Ruto, as a patriotic Kenya requested for the break to join other countrymen during that trying moment. Today an interdenominational prayer was held at the KICC for the victims.
Hon. Ruto together with former Kass FM radio presenter Joshua Arap Sang are facing trial in a case they were cojoined by former ICC prosecutor, Louis Moreno Ocampo as “repreentatives of ODM.”
As a Kenyan and christian who believes in justice I take this chance to wish him a safe journey and God’s grace during his journey and while at the Hague.
Only God knows our fate.

FARE THEE WELL DR. DAVID GITARI, TILL WE MEET AGAIN

Retired Archbishop, Dr. David M. Gitari

It is fate in life of any man born of a woman that life must come one day to an end. However, this departure sometimes is usually untimely and leave us in agony and pain when it gets us not prepared. It remains a fact that nature does not allow us to choose the path of our destiny, the path we choose can be overturned shoving us to where we least imagined. This can be a very painful realization. It is a fact of life that all men MUST die.

It was with great sorrow that I learned of the sudden demise of the Retired Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya Dr. David Mukuba Gitari. The late is remembered to have served as the third African archbishop in Africa. He stood and advocated for evangelism and equality of gender in church ordination. 

Gitari's pastoral work, however, led him into political controversy. He preached and campaigned against land grabbing by powerful politicians, challenging economic injustice on a national as well as a local level. In particular, he preached against constitutional changes which introduced voting by queuing (in a specific place, publicly indicating your chosen candidate) instead of by secret ballot. In 1988, he took the lead in opposing the rigging of the general election during the infamous mlolongo (queuing) voting system. He publicly condemned political assassinations and any undemocratic political practices.

Gitari's deep concern for the Kenyan people was not without cost. On the night of April 21, 1989, at the height of his struggle for justice, a large and heavily armed gang of thugs numbering about 100 raided his house. They dug out the security bars and shouted that they had come to kill him. He and his family escaped to the roof and called for help from neighbors. Neighbors came to his rescue just in time and the thugs fled.

It is with no benefit of doubt that all Kenyans of good will shall miss and remember him as a true, selfless, patriot to this noble nation.

Sons and Daughters have lost a loving, caring and responsible father of a Nation that might have never appreciated him while he lived.

In God's arms you rest, in our hearts you live foreFare thee Well, Till We meet Again.
