\r\n \r\n Very interesting, Jualsy.
\n
\nExtra magnesium can work wonders.
\n
\nThanks for sharing your experiences.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Yes, Interesting. Anyone know what type of magnesium is in epsom salts?\r\n

\r\n \r\n I would really like to know that this is true. It\'s a hard one to recommend to anyone with a seizure disorder who is on medication. Do you have any studies or other evidence?\r\n

\r\n \r\n O.K. I know how you feel. I read Adelle Davis\'s books and got the original information, then recommended it to a friend who was in a bad way daily with fits. It worked from the first dose....she didn\'t fit again! I tried it all over and every time it worked with babies, little children, teenagers, elderly, and finally my own grand daughter (24) agreed to take it after years of trying to persuade her.....and it worked. I have heard of nothing but the fact that it works, so I don\'t feel it\'s risky any more.
\n
\nWhoever you are thinking of can carry on taking the medication if they want to, but that alone will be leading to other deficiencies re side effects etc. Its all personal choice.
\n
\nEpsom Salts can be boutght on line...I believe its the best source of the magnesium required.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Well, it certainly isn\'t a protocol that is dangerous to add, even if someone is on seizure meds. But it might be scary for them to start reducing the meds and trust that it will work. But if someone has breakthrough seizures while on meds guess it would be pretty self evident in a short while. I don\'t know anyone with seizures right now, but this of course means that someone might be coming along pretty soon! Thanks for the tip. I have stored it.

\nAdelle Davis was pretty amazing.\r\n

\r\n \r\n It has never failed in my experience and is harmless. The children it worked on all had stunned comments from teachers who said they had improved considerably in the class and were learning much better etc......my friend went from having three grand mal fits a day to having none at all from the first dose!....Impressive!!
\n
\nReading Adelle Davis 35 years ago changed my life....I was always ill, and since then I think I have been to the doctor twice. I deal with all health problems via vitamins, and herbal treatments. Fantastic.\r\n

\r\n \r\n What is the reason for using the orange juice?? Can it be other juice or water? Also, is the 1/2 teaspoon for all weights and ages, or do you increase for more weight???\r\n

\r\n \r\n Orange juice is such a common food to so many people you would think that this would be common knowledge, its effect on seizures. I wonder if your seizures have anything to do with your blood sugar. Maybe there is enough magnesium in it to make a difference for some people.

\r\n \r\n Low magnesium levels have been found in epilepsy patients for many years but the medical professions insistence on drug use only has pushed it into the background.

\r\n \r\n Im 36, and epileptic, have been for 6/7 years .... i was put on Keppra 750 twice a day ... for 5/6 years I was able to drink and pretty much my only fits were me missing meals/tablets. That all changed around 11 months ago when it seems Keppra is not keeping me as seizure free as before. I fit in my sleep
\n
\nRecentely I asked my "Epilepsy Nurse" re Magnesium after reading about it on the net. She denied all knowledge. Then contradicted herself 10 mins later admitting she had heard reports??? Most strange!!
\n
\nIve heard that as no company can patent Magnesium and make billions selling it for x years to the NHS no company is interested in clinical trials? Who knows?
\n
\nAnyway after much net reading I have purchased some Pharma Nord Magnesium tablets and have commenced my clinical trial of one (me). I keep taking the Keppra, Ill take the magnesium
\n
\nMaybe again Ill be able to drink a few glasses of wine, drink a few beers on Fri without thinking of whether ill fit 1 or 2 nights later in my sleep ? We shall see ...
\n
\nNeurologist said "Dont Drink" but that to me is not a cure. Its a solution, however one which leaves me with no social life ... maybe Magnesium is the answer ?\r\n

\r\n \r\n Okay, ya\'ll (I\'m a southern gal), I\'ve had seizures for 21 years and have tried everything except Epsom Salts, which I find very interesting and will probably give it a try. Magnesium supplements had no effect on me. Orange, grapfruit and apple juices create seizures for some people (like me) because it blocks the absorption of certain meds and increases certain hormones like estrogen in women with catamenial seizures. EVERYONE, use caution when trying anything that your doctor doesn\'t know about AND anything your doctor does no about!!! Live well and be careful!!!\r\n

\r\n \r\n Hi walker, welcome to the forum! Thanks for sharing that info, I\'ll be looking forward to hearing about your results if you do decide to try the Epsom Salts. \r\n

\r\n \r\n Hi walker. If you don\'t respond to magnesium, you may not respond to epsom salts either. Maybe a nice warm bath of Epsom Salts will be better.

\r\n \r\n Nobody wants to hear of these natural cures because the drug companies want their money! I guess money is more important than peoples health nowadays...
\n
\nI\'d bet that there is a cure like this for almost every disease. But if it gets discovered, nobody finds out because everyone goes to doctors and doctors don\'t prescribe natural remedies because they are under the control of the drug companies! What a sick corrupt healthcare society we live in! It\'s pretty obvious after reading all my opinionated posts...why I don\'t let a doctor touch me!.....and I\'m not blaming the doctors one bit! I\'m blaming everyone who is pressuring them. They are being controlled by this nonsense, much of the time against their wishes!\r\n
