Has anyone tried Magnesium to stop seizures

Tue, 08/11/2009 - 12:22

Our daughter has complex partial seizures that we believe to be caused by previous vaccines and the remaining toxins in her body and are originating in her pituitary gland.    We've recently started giving her liquid magnesium after reading that it could help with seizures.  We're not sure yet if it's helping, but wanted to see if others had tried this.

I take magnesium after my neurologist drew labs and said my magnesium level was low and it would help if I brought it up.  Since taking magnesium I have had fewer seizures but unfortunately had to cut back on the dose due to them causing loose stools (sorry).

I'm glad that you found out about your mg level because you can do something about it.  Please see my post up above.  There is a type of mg product that you can take to avoid the loose stool problem.

Magnesium Threonate

The Magnesium Threonate won't cause the loose stools, also it's what breaks through the blood-brain barrier.
