Was just floating around the forum and reading all kinds of great information, thanks! Anyway, came across the Epsom Salt information and was curious to know if anyone has tried it and if not, why? 1tsp. of Epsom Salt in OJ can reduce seizures or stop them? I did do a search on it and there were plenty of links, but I guess I trust you guys more than I do google searches : ) Anyway, just curious about it. Thanks

I haven't tried Epsom Salts, but I do take magnesium (Epsom salts are basically a form of magnesium), which is good for brain health. But I think Epsom Salts are meant to give you the runs, so proceed with caution...

I tried it....and I don't know that it completely stopped my seizures, but it did make me go bathroom alot. Taking Magnesium supplements does the same thing. In fact, that's what epsom salts are....magnesium. I'd go with the supplements as they are easier to adjust dosage on. And trust me, you'll know if your taking too much.

Rebecca and I both take magnesium.
We also take Epsom salt baths from time to time to eliminate muscle soreness, or to relax after a full day. I do note think I would ever drink E.S., I want the pure form of the mineral to get to the cell quickly.
I also know now when I have not been regular in taking the magnesium. My body lets me know.
