“My heart was still pounding,
but I grabbed my suitcase and
left,” the Dallas man said. "I
hadan idea that he had seen this
before. It was the way be looked
at me.”
Earlier this year, the Dallas
family’s courier, a missionary,
was recalled to the United
States, but the family connected
with a doctor in a Mexican
border town. The doctor
prescribes the drug for his
nurse, who carries It across the
border, then mails it to the Dal-
las family.
Calling hers a Christian fami-
ly, the mother of the epileptic
youth said she was taught to
obey the law of the land. “But
this was our last resource and I
know God wants us to do every-
thing we can for our son,” she
said.
If it becomes necessary, the
father said he will again be-
come a smuggler. “If it helps I
will do anything." he said, "but
I don’t think it’s fair. With all
the research that has gone on
elsewhere in the world, I just
don't see what the big hangup is
in this country.”
Every available drug in the
nation was used to help the epi-
leptic boy, but the sodium val-
proate seems to be the one that
works. His blackouts have been
reduced to about one every four
days and last only a few sec-
onds.
The boy now has his own
apartment and cares for him-
self, an existence that was pre-
cluded by the more frequent
blackouts he had been ex-
periencing.
Dr. David Daly is head of the
National Epilepsy Commission.
“It shouldn’t take so long to
evaluate and approve a drug
whose efficacy and safety has
been well-established," he said.
He said the drug has been the
subject of 25 studies and a 10-
year-record of use in Europe,
Japan and Israel.

DALLAS (AP) - Not aU
smugglers who bring drugs into
the United States are doing it
for profit.
A few do it for love.
A Dallas man was told by his
physician that the drug sodium
valproate would help the man’s
son overcome three to 10 epi-
leptic blackouts each day.
The drug, however, is illegal
in the United States, so the man
must smuggle it in from
Mexico.
The man remembers that the
first time. His heart was pound-
ing as he approached the U.S.
Customs Inspector.
He did not try to hide the pills
in his suitcase and when the
Customs official opened the
case, he pulled out the packet of
pills and asked the man what
they were. The man said they
were anticonvulsants for his
son.
The inspector replaced the
pills and wished the man luck
