(CIT): Almost 3 million Americans have epilepsy. Most do not have complete seizure control, or experience seizure control at the cost of debilitating side effects from medications. This year, another 200,000 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy and an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 will die from se...
