    Thank you for your information and review! My wife and I just started taking Lion’s Mushroom 500 mg caps last week. I have small pre seizures and take Vimpat for that. I hope that this helps prevent them. I am almost 70, was in the hospital this time last year 4 3 wks, had many things wrong, but I had a very bad case of sepsis, most thought I would die, but by the Grace of God, I survived. My brain swelled and I have lost some of my memory, but it has come back some. I lost mostly long term memory, but suffer short term also. It would be a boon to all of us, if it helped prevent seizures. If you will contact me once in a while, I will let you know if it is helping, believe me, I will know.

    Thank you!
