[Title] => 150,000 Pinoys suffering from epilepsy
[Summary] => An estimated 150,000 Filipinos are suffering from epilepsy, a neurological disorder that some people still associate with spirit possession, experts said yesterday.
"When an epileptic is having a seizure, some people think that he is being possessed by evil spirits or supernatural forces. They get afraid. We want to correct this myth," said Dr. Marilyn Hebron-Ortiz, head of the child neuroscience division of the Philippine Children’s Medical Center and a member of the Philippine League Against Epilepsy (PLAE).

[Title] => Epilepsy must be treated early
[Summary] => Contrary to common perception that epilepsy is untreatable, a health expert said epileptic children have a good chance of getting cured from the neurological illness if they will be given proper and early treatment.
Dr. Leonor Cabral-Lim, president of the Philippine League Against Epilepsy (PLAE), said it is important to treat epilepsy at a young age.
"Epilepsy, depending on the case, can be treated in two to five years or it cannot be treated at all... The benefits of treatment outweighs the risk of not being treated," she said.
