There is a cure for epilepsy...

I've been advised against drinking orange juice in any amount

Can you elaborate on this comment. I am not understanding it in relationship to the thread.
Are you allergic to oranges?

this while browsing for magnesium info.

I don't know if it is of any help. I do seem to have developed a rash. I'm guessing from the magnesium I am taking. Although, it is preferable to seizures.

The original post on the thread recommended drinking epsom salt in orange juice.

... I do seem to have developed a rash. I'm guessing from the magnesium I am taking. ...

I don't recall seeing a rash listed as a possible consequence of taking too much magnesium. Are you also experiecing loose stools (which is a consequence of taking too much magnesium)?

Found this while looking for a link between Magnesium and vitamin D. Not surprising I'd find something about calcium as well.

Well done "googly" ( page 4.) Re lack of magnesium. I suffer from about 80% on that list as well as seizure's. Who sets the r.d.a? Who"s to say the recommended dose of vits/minerals is correct? Whats right for some may not be for others, it"s not law. Would doc"s/profs/researchers in epilepsy risk there well paid jobs by telling you about a simple cure? Who knows! My doc says he has an interest in epilepsy but does nothing about it and the prof"s even worse, they get paid "anyway" in the UK. Action speaks louder than words in my book. Or I"m I being cynical/bitter or a realist/tell it like it is? It" gotta worth trying experimenting with vits/minerals (within reason). I know I will. P.S. I"ve learned more from this site that I ever have from professionals. To whoever is running this site, "good for you."

Pete, I have been working with magnesium for a few years now. Reading as much as I can on the mineral. My daughter is also told to take a high dose for her seizures.

The RDA is 400 mg however, on many medical websites you will see many beginning to question that amount as being too low. I say, start with that and then begin to slowly increase it until you see the side effects that are discussed. No different than increasing a pharmaceutical drug. Always important to go slowly. And don't change anything else in your system at the same time, so you get straight forward results.

There are a few things to consider though with something like magnesium. You might find one particular type easier on your system, better absorbed, than another. So I wouldn't give up if one type doesn't do the trick. It has worked wonders on my 30 yrs of intense migraine activity. I have not had one in over 3 yrs. ... unless I get goofy and don't take the magnesium regularly.

BTW - Rebecca takes 1000 mg each day and she is about 120 lbs
