A member asked:
Might flaxseed oil aid in the control of electrical activity in the brain, thus helping to reduce seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I do not this this is proven to work in any study that i know about. And since seizures can literally be fatal - i would ask your neurologist about this.
