    Kumar, epilepsy is non-curable but can be controlled with therapy and medication. I would like you to read the information contained in this site so you will become more enlightened:

    I thought - if a person is a viable candidate - that surgery is available and is a cure. I work with a woman who had the surgery and it ended her seizures. She is no longer on medication.
