zinc pyrithione and seizures -- for

[Guest guest]

Hi , this is from another list. The same person who posted about

zinc pyrithione in the first place. she seems to have found a

transdermal form which I thought might interest you. She says that there

is a cream with wheat in it but the spray is GFCF

" In my search for other transdermal forms of zinc, I came across a study

about zinc PYRITHIONE,

which is the active ingredient in dandruff shampoos. Apparently it is

helpful for epilepsy.

Here's the link:

The easiest form I found was a spray, called SkinZinc spray. It

appears to be GFCF, but it's

not a very informative website, mostly trying to sell products. I'm

really curious whether

this might be an effective way to get zinc in to our ASD kids,

especially those prone to

seizure activity (ours is just suspected at this point and has an appt.

with a neurologist

next month). Here's the ingredient list from the SkinZinc site (note

that it does say age 18

and up):
