Was Alex an epileptic?

Hi Yiannis,I haven't read Baudolino yet, although it is on my list (which means it could take years, as my list is very long!).I'm not entirely sure whether Eco is 'wrong' by introducing the swim, but certainly I have never heard that one before. I have a rather nice book (somewhere) that has a young-adult biography of Barbarossa in it, and it has an action-filled (?) illustration of the king falling off his horse into the river... but that doesn't necessarily mean anything!All the bestMarcus

Hello Ruth,I've posted on this one before, and will repeat it here. The classic head tilt is typically associated with a calcium deficiency. It is usually accompanied by a slightly lowered shoulder opposite the tilt. The head tilt is the bodies way of compensating for the spinal subluxation. It is typical for people with very active lives...which definitely fits the bill of Alexander...later Nicator
