Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi , I don't recall a specific cause or aggravation of seizures from Sodium, but there is supposed to be an important Sodium-Potassium balance that regulates muscle contraction which can result in seizures.Good food sources are fruits and vegetables. Potassium rich fruits are bananas,watermelons, oranges,apple and avocado.A baked potato, tomato juice and spinach are also high.These foods have so many other important elements also they are a key to a realization of your bodies natural potential. Increase the intake of these. armold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Arnold and , Sodium opens the nerve channels and has been implicated in lowering the seizure threshold. Back in days of yore when bromine was the drug of choice for treating epilepsy, low sodium diets were recommended according to a paper I received from 1944 (JAMA). Using foods high in potassium is definitely helpful for most epileptics.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks Arnold for the info. I am keeping a high sodium level because I went into a grand mal in december. I am paranoid of going into another. I am going off of the Trileptal in June because of the low sodium. It is hard to keep such balance with everything. Right now I am trying out some special magnesium mixed with water. I am hoping this will help with some issues that I have and my daughter who has anxiety and tics. It's called natural vitality(peter gillmore) (I believe it is called calm) > Hi , > I don't recall a specific cause or aggravation of seizures from Sodium, but > there is supposed to be an important Sodium-Potassium balance that regulates > muscle contraction which can result in seizures.Good food sources are fruits > and vegetables.
