Thu, 02/03/2005 - 15:42Hello,
Currently I am taking care of my Mother who has seizures due to a small stroke. She takes Keppra 2000mg/day and depakote 500mg/day (this is a new addition to her seizure meds). We were told that is was very important to take her supplements which are a daily senior supplement,B-12, Calcium, and Folic Acid. Does anyone else have any suggestions or sites they've visited to find supplements that actually help in reducing seizures?
Thanks,
FJulian

Good nutrition is important for everyone. Keywords can include: ketogenic nutrition, Forks Over Knives (2011) film, organic nutrition, Vitamix blender, etc. There is a difference in looking at good nutrition in general for overall good health vs (perhaps falsely) expecting good nutrition to automatically, substantially reduce all seizures of every kind for everyone (my view). Good luck.
