Re: seizures - Sally

[Guest guest]

Hi Sally,

I've been meaning to send this post but couldn't until now. Firstly,

I'm sorry to hear that you and your daughter are having to go through

this.

I was thinking about what you said about B6 being excitatory for your

daughter. Could it be because of insufficient magnesium? I'm not sure

if this can be the cause but I've read that Vit B6 interacts with

magnesium and depends on magnesium to help it get inside cells where it

can do its work and a low intake of magnsium will compromise the body's

ability to use B6 properly.

Sorry if this bears no meaning but just wondered as my son too also has

seizures but he has had them for 11 yrs. Nothing else has ever helped

him as much as the B6 (combined with magnesium) which we just started

last October.

I hope that you find something that will help your daughter's seizures,

if not stop them completely.

take care,

emily xx
