EPILEPSY PROTOCOL REPORT FROM INDIA

by Delna Sanghvi

excerpted from Bowen Hands, the journal of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, June 2007

For close to three years now, Freny Palia, Zeeba Shroff and I, Delna Sanghvi, have been doing Bowen for 25 boys at the Happy Home and School for the Blind.

Although it has not been used very widely, I was excited to try out [the epilepsy protocol] on these children. Between June 19, 2006 and December 4, 2006 I treated 12 boys aged 7 to 16 with the 9 stipulated Bowen sessions.

Due to floods and school vacations, there were a couple of occasions when the exact day recommended could not be adhered to. I worked as precisely as circumstances permitted.

Of the 12 cases, 6 reported no seizures during this time. The remaining 6, who did report seizures, reported the same to be fewer and milder than before. I am sure that with continuing Bowen they will all benefit further in the near future.
