Epilepsy Treatment With Magnesium

[compnet]

Hello,

I've been researching magnesium and the many conditions it helps, and I just came across this:

"Epilepsy is marked by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood, spinal fluid and brain, causing hyperexcitability in regions of the brain. There are many reported causes of epilepsy greatly improving or disappearing with magnesium supplementation. In a trial with 30 epileptics 450 mg of magnesium supplied daily successfully controlled seizures. Another study found that the lower the magnesium blood levels the more severe was the epilepsy. In most cases magnesium works best in combination with vitamin B6 and zinc. In sufficient concentrations, magnesium inhibits convulsions by limiting or slowing the spread of the electric discharge from an isolated group of brain cells to the rest of the brain. Animal studies show that even the initial burst of firing nerve cells that starts an epileptic attack can be suppressed with magnesium."

Magnesium works best in Chelated form. I am proof of it. I have had no grandmal seizures since 1980 the research work was done at the University of Galveston Texas by Doctor Oscar Rasmutin PHD. I been taking upwards of close to 2000 mg of this Chelated Magnesium most reason why people don't work on Epilepsy is because most don't know that if take Magnesium other than than chelation form that 90% of the Magnesium goes through the gut and does not help the the person with the Epilepsy for the treatment for his or her seizures.   I am 52 years old and its been 38 years seizure free I have brain injury near the center of the brain and today i am seizure free.

Especially for kids, an easy way to try magnesium is by soaking in a tub of Epsom Salts.
