I found THIS on the NCI website and was floored. While it helped my seizures, it may have caused my cancer.

"Carcinogens or other promoters that alter methyl metabolism and/or DNA methylation, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), phenobarbital, arsenic, and zinc deficiency, have been studied and have added to the knowledge about the importance of altered methylation on carcinogenesis."
