A glance at Epilepsy:

Epilepsy is a progressive disease that requires early treatment with effective and tolerable mediations to help prevent progression.

Epilepsy can cause damage to brain tissue over time, and can change a person’s cognition. Progression of the disease has also been associated with worsening in mood and a person’s quality of life.

Epilepsy can have a high incidence in children younger than the age of 1 year, and also prevalent in people between the ages of 60-80 years.

Common misunderstandings include the idea that epilepsy is contagious or incurable, which can have a negative impact on patients and may keep them from seeking treatment.

The primary goal of epilepsy treatment is seizure freedom, defined as a period of 12 months or longer without seizures.

Achieving these goals may be challenging for many individuals.

This is why it is IMPERATIVE for patients to have many discussions with their medical providers to find the best treatment plan.

Call on Hewes Health Consulting to help you investigate your treatment options, and arm you with the questions to ask your medical provider.

Let’s make sure you are well informed to that you can make the best informed decision for you.

To continue on the available treatments for Parkinson’s Disease:

Vyalev Infusion Pump:

On Oct. 17, 2024 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the medical device Vyalev, an infusion pump made by AbbVie that dispenses a formulation of foscarbidopa and foslevodopa continuously.

This infusion pump is similar to the insulin pumps known to treat people with diabetes.

The infusion pump is a consistent delivery of medications carbidopa and levodopa that are known to make a difference for Parkinson’s patients.

The pump enables fine-tuned dosing that’s hard to achieve with pills. It can provide an option for patients who aren’t interested in or, given their age or health status, makes deep-brain stimulation neurosurgery too high-risk.

By the time somebody’s five or 10 years into the disease course, there’s a high likelihood they would benefit from this treatment.

The benefits one person using the Vyalev infusion pump reports: improved sleep, improved mobility, and improved fine-motor skills.

Having the pump as a constant companion and took some getting used to, he said, and it weighs on him at times. But he no longer must set an iPhone reminder to take carbidopa-levodopa pills every four hours – reminders he sometimes missed, paying the price in more “off” time. The pump also keeps running at night, avoiding gaps during sleep.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease.

A study was done in 23 movement disorder centers across the U.S. Participants have been studied for 5 years, a total of 137 patients.

These patients have sustained improvements in motor and activities of daily living. Plus some of these patients have been able to reduce the amount of anti-parkinson medication.

“This therapy not only enhances quality life in the short term but also maintains efficacy in managing motor symptoms and reduces the need for anti-parkinson medication.”

This is something that may be worth while to investigate either for you or one of your loved ones with Parkinson’s. Reach out to Hewes Health Consulting, and let me help with the research, and point you in the right direction. I can provide a thorough investigation in a speedy efficient manner.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:�
Consuming low- and no-calorie artificial sweeteners may harm your brain health.

Per information published in Neurology September 2025, people who consume the high amounts of artificial sweeteners can have a 62% faster decline in overall thinking and memory skills. Some participants had a higher rate of decline to their verbal fluency.

The message from neurologists is that consumption of large amounts of artificial sweeteners may impact long term brain health and artificial sweeteners may not be the harmless alternative that many assume.

Please keep this in mind if you are at risk for dementia, or have diabetes.

People should not panic, but instead limit consumption of artificial sweeteners. Avoid daily use of artificial sweeteners.

There is mounting evidence that common use of ultra processed foods that we once thought as benign may change your brain health.

Look at natural sweeteners like fruit, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, molasses.

Mediterranean diet is associated with improved cognition and reduced risk for Alzheimer’s, as well as cardiovascular health benefits.

Eat Healthy - fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats -
Mediterranean diet is the most universally encouraged

Hewes Health Consulting is here to continue to advise and educate. To follow up on the discussion of Fall Prevention, here is information about Osteoporosis.

Worldwide, a fracture due to osteoporosis occurs every 3 seconds. Unfortunately, osteoporosis has misconceptions and barriers to care for this “silent” condition. Consequently, there can be catastrophic consequences.

Individuals who suffer one osteoporosis related fracture face an 86% increase risk in subsequent fracture. A sentinel spine fracture is associated with the highest risk of secondary fracture.

Each fragility fracture carries risk of hospitalization, high costs (hospital and subsequent care) and potential for impaired mobility, isolation and depression.

Even though there are therapies available, almost 80% of patients who suffer a fragile fracture are never evaluated or treated for osteoporosis. After a fragile fracture, risk of a second fracture triples in the first year. After a hip fracture, about 40% cannot walk independently, about 60% need help with activities of daily living, and 20-24% die within 1 year.

Prevention of Osteoporosis begins in childhood and young adulthood. Peak bone mass is achieved in most in a person’s 20s.

Lifestyle interventions include:

Adequate Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Weight-Bearing exercise/Engagement in regular physical activity

Fall precautions

Smoking Cessation

Alcohol limitation

Maintenance of normal body mass index (BMI)

Maintenance of regular menstrual cycles in females

Screening - DEXA and FRAX for women 65 yo and older, as well as women 50 yo with risk factors. There is insufficient evidence for routine screening in men. Some resources recommend screening for men 70 yo and older, and men 50-69 years with risk factors.

Risk factors for low bone mineral density:

Low-trauma fracture during adulthood

Current exposure to oral steroids or past exposure for more than 3 months (ex - 5mg daily or more of prednisone)

Loss of height of >/= 1.5in (4cm) from peak height at age 20

Loss of height of >/= 0.8 in (2 cm) from a previous height measurement

Hip fracture

Parental history of hip fracture

Current smoking

Alcohol intake
