Magnesium Deficiency

Sun, 03/13/2005 - 15:35

Have any of you tried magnesium supplements and found them to be helpful? I have been doing some research and come across a theory that many people with epilepsy are magnesium-deficient. I realized that I have not had a seizure for 9 months, and I have been taking Rolaids for the past year. I have been taking them for the calcium content, but they also contain magnesium. Any thought on this?

We can be low on magnesium, calcium, vit d, b vitamins too. They can all cause seizures if too low. check out my group Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/epilepsyapproach/
