And now needs to take drug called Phenytoin regularly to stop oneself from getting seizures. There seems to be no cure…but I hear stories of seizures being cured with many different methods.
I do not know how Phenytoin exactly works

My advice? not a single person here on Avalon should give any advice to you about home help for such a severe brain injury.
You are taking a potent, patient specific dosed medication for a reason - and stopping your medication to try some thing else on a whim could kill you or cause a seizure of such severity that you may not recover.
I am advising you to go to your Dr, sit down and get reffered to a neuro specialist and talk it over with them - they may even try other medications if you present the side effects you are having.
