Epsom Salt

Wed, 12/09/2009 - 17:18

I am interested in knowing if anyone has had any luck with using Epsom Salt for controlling partial complex seizures.   I am trying to find an alternative to medicines in controlling my daughters night seizures and read somewhere that Epsom Salt may benefit.

Did your husband completely stopped with his medicine when he started using Epsom salts or did he gradually reduce it?
