Taurine information???

Hi: I tried it years ago, when I went on a weight loss and exercise programme. I don't know if it worked or not. CG

I tried taurine for my daugther. It was recommened by a homeopathic doc. She was having approx 4 seizures a week. We used the taurine for about 3 mo with no change in seizure control. No harm or side effects. Everyones metabolism is different who knows. I did read about taurine as treatment in an article somewhere where it helped. So many articles to remember. It is always worth a try when side effects are minimal. At least that is where we are trying and trying and still minimal control. michelle V

Hi, I've struggled for years and years with the medication and side effects. Not life threatening, but mood swings, depression, bad sleep etc etc. Its ruined my life. I've recnetly looked at various things, and started taking calcium/magnsium/cider vinegar. I had not realised how important these things are to ones diet. Altered my diet completely - you really are what you eat. ANd read a book on 'the mood cure' wonder ful book. Took the advice which was low seratonin levels. So started taking 5-Http. Then found about Taurine. Then find that its often low in those with epliepsy, and without it calcium and magnesium and not easily absorbed. The result, so far, and its early days. I've never ever felt so good. I feel normal. I'm happy,optimistic, feel fantastic. And only after 4 days. I'll continue with this and my hope is it will continue, if not there are other additional amino acids I'll consider ie manganese and folic acid. I'm also taking other vitamin supplments which they allneed to work together. I hope this helps someone. Its the BEST thing ive ever done and really hope someone else will try it. Its obtainable from health food shops. I've reduced my medication too.
