Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 i use the walmart reverse osmosis water for all my cooking needs like when i steam veggies or make tea, anytime i cook using water or heat it up i use that one since it IS reverse osmosis and it is really cheap, like 50 cents per gallon then i use a better quality water for drinking. i used to use brightwater water from trader joes, it was in a clear plastic container and it was awesome tasting and artesian well water..now they stopped making it i'm kind of at a loss for water, been buying fuji but it's expensive good luck to all em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, why does your child get headaches? And, I do not agree with the doc that you can get all your nutrients from food and that supplements are not necessary. I held that belief for decades...... we NEVER had a junk food diet or ate prepared or processed foods. I think that Charlie may have a subtle malabsorption problem and hence the supplements make a difference. We have also used supplements and food to repair damage to his liver caused by Depakote, the trashed liver would then trigger more seizure activity. Glad you now have a couple of books. I have not read the Atkins book. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 MJH, I'm not really sure that it's headaches, she just says that her head hurts after she's had a grand mal seizure and most of the time I don't give her anything for it and she doesn't talk about it anymore and is fine, but the three times that I did give her something for it, she ended up having all these partials. He didn't say that supplements are not necessary, just not high doses of them. For example, I told him that I was giving 500mg of Calcium and 250mg of Magnesium, he said that this was too high that I should be giving her less. I just bought some flax seed and I will start on them today. I'm trying to keep her nutritionally healthy. Oh, and we're also going to start seeing a nutritionist to see about putting her on a healthy diet, maybe the modified Atkins diet. How's Charlie doing, is he still throwing up?
