Magnesium Deficiency
Sun, 03/13/2005 - 15:35Have 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?
Blessings,
Angie

Yes. I was born with Epilepsy and I am getting that same feeling about magnesium as well as Iron and selenium, in 2012 I was diagnosed with a swollen liver and a swollen spleen, I was also diagnosed with anemia and especially when I was prego, with my daughters, I had too eat a bowl and a half of liver with my second daughter, gross!!! Now there is suspicion that I might have a leaky gut as well and all of these symptoms all surround all of these deficiencies , Honestly its felt like a pledge and a curs upon my life, but I am also Big Right Now in theology, and so there is another aspect to this as well, as far as I am concerned, I know people are going to think I am crazy, this has , effected my life so much I have always been open , to all avenues , and ideas of getting rid of it. I think if you are going to look for a cure for this , you have to look at all the facts, and in always. You not take ananimal to a regular doctor , who only perscribs medication for people, and you would not take a person to be seen by a vet, in hope that he can , figur out your grandmothers pain . I mean I guess in some parts of the world , you might because the town might be limited, for resources. You would not do it if you did not have to right. Well that how I see it and believe it or not it is in the bible. lol.
