Your One Stop Solution for infantile spasm

My son is 4 months with jerking response.After EEG,doctor suspects this as infantile spasm.?
Dr prescribed pyridoxine and steroid.I am worried because i am unsure of effectiveness of these medications as in the long run, steroid is immunosuppresive. Anyone with similar experience please advice. I am very worried till i cried almost every night when i see my son's painful jerks and also thinking that there would be a mental retardation possibility.However,he now responds rather normal but sometimes he does not seem to respond directionally to sound.I am interested in alternative holistic treatment that can cure my son.Any kind samaritans please help. Thank you. God will bless you and your family.

ANY hopeful information regarding infantile spasms?
I'm a first time mom, and my 7 month old son has been diagnosed with infantile spasms. Everything I've read on the internet has done nothing but scare the hell out of me. It says there is an 80 % chance that he will have mental retardation. This is so heart breaking for me as I'm sure it is for any parent. I cry and cry and cry despite all the support from my family. My son will probably be starting a treatment called ATCS. I was just wondering if anyone has been through anything similar. Did this treatment help? I've already looked up all of the side effects and everything but I'm just curious about whether or not it has actually helped. My sons spasms have NO cause. No head trauma, meningitis, trauma at birth, etc. I'm so afraid for him. He already seems to be alot less happy then he used to be and it's breaking my heart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
