I forgot to add that when I had that very high fever as an infant that causd me to convulse, it left it's mark in the form a scar just as any burn does on your skin. That is the group of cells that started misfiring as they healed and continued to do so which caused seizures when that misfiring involved enough cells. Magnesium had nothing to do with that cause and nothing to do with stopping them. It can do what all nutrients can which is to make the environment the best possible for cells to funtion and do their best work. I also need to tell you that my grandmother believed in Epsom Salts too except she used it for another reason! It will clean you out so that your insides are squeaky clean. It also causes severe cramoing! Have you tried this yourself? You mentioned your research. You didn't mention what type of seizures you yourself have, however. What kind do you have, and how long did yo take the Epsom Salts before you saw results? You need to provide these answers to make yourself even look credible. With the severe diarrhea Epsom Salts can cause, you lose lots of electrolyrtes and fluid. The Magnesium you are prescribing almost is one of those el;ectrolytes and they all have major functions in the body. Some of these involve heart function. Are you prepared to be responsible for the results if people believe your rather positive statements here and are caused harm? Please respond. When you go in the hospital for surgery or tests involving the Gastro-Intestinal tract, they make you drink Mag Citrate which does the same as the Epsom Salts. You are squeaky clean inside. You also are minus loads of electrolytes and fluids. That is done in a hospital for the most part, not daily at home. My grandmother didn't know this. Today, we do. Phoebe
