Re: (Deb) seizure activity (Pat)

[Guest guest]

Very interesting. My son seemed to have a cycle to his seizure

activity as well, however it was only for a few months and then it

changed again. Of course, at the time, we weren't thinking diet or

allergies, but only a problem associated with Autism. As I'm

learning more and more I realize that there is probably another cause

and now it's just a matter of finding it. I was so excited when he

went just over 5 weeks seizure free after starting the diet. I

wasn't giving his magnesium however and a few weeks later he had

seizures again. We started magnesium right away and so far no

seizures but it's only been about 2-3 weeks. I would really like to

find the cause of his seizures as they take him out of commission for

3-5 days each month. That's too much time lost. Please keep the

information coming.
