Help! Seizure w/ Vitamins?

May 25, 2001

Has anybody's child had this experience?

( age 9, 70lbs.) had seizures at birth (5 hours after the HepB shot

was given when she was 20 minutes old) and up until 18 months . She went

about 4 years w/out a seizure. She has had one seizure a year ago (after an

hour of sleep) and one seizure one year before that (after an hour of sleep).

She is on 4 ml of Tegretol a day which is nothing. So seizures are not a

major concern because they happen so rarely. So it has been a year since she

had her last seizure.

Two weeks ago, we started on all of the supplements Dr. Amy suggested and

gentamicin for 10 days to kill the gut bugs. We then increased her zinc to

50mg at night. She is on cod liver oil, Vit. C, Taurine, Super Nu Thera w/o

a & d,zinc,

Magnesium Glycinate, Glutithione cream and Magnesium sulfate cream, pro

biotics and cultrelle, lactulose(had been on previously) and tegretol. I was

going to start her first round of DMSA in 3 days.I don't think that all of

the supplements would have caused her to have a seizure! But what do yall

think? Has any body else had this experience? She was not sleeping and had

the seizure at 5pm while I was putting on her shoes. She has not had a

seizure while she was awake since she was a baby. Any response would be so

appreciated. Iam so bummed since I was gearing up for the chelation and

feeling like she was getting healthier with all of the supplements. Thanks so

much and sorry this is so long.
