  Prescribed XCHT only to start as well as a gradual switch from kibble to home cooked.
  Seizure three days post first appointment afterno seizures last 5 months.oops.
  Second appointment 30 days later I went with a phlegm diagnosis based on pulse and points (ST-40) Bl-18, 20,21 and started on BXBZTMT. Since this, his appetite and stool have improved but he continues to have some short (20-30 sec) seizures.
  The owner pointed out that the last few seizures all seem to happen just post waking up at 5;50 am.
  How would I interpret this new finding to change up his protocol?
