Natural Calm--Magnesium Supplementation is working, why?

[Guest guest]

About 6 or 7 months ago, I started using Natural Calm for my son who was having

seizures every day, despite the Ativan we were prescribed to give him at night.

I found a

posting here on magnesium and calcium balance and started with Magnesium in a

capsule

form. I was actually trying to use it to help constipation in my youngest

autistic boy who

does not have seizures and I really didn't see much improvement. I can almost

say that

behaviors worsened. Then I changed to Magnesium Citrate as found in the drink

Natural

Calm and great things happened...the seizures lessened dramatically!! I started

giving it

to my eplileptic son every morning and night and for the first few months tried

to balance

his bowel movements which could be terrible if I gave him too much. He actually

went

weeks without seizures!!! Praise God! Then, however, with that same protocol,

the

seizures came back with a vengeance. Even when we gave him more Calm, we

noticed he

was having them more frequently. So, we stopped the Calm and then the seizures

stopped. Within the next few months (and as I am using it now) I am only

administering

the Calm AFTER he has a seizure instead of proactively.

I am gathering that there is a fine balance of too much or not enough Calm. I

am not a

doctor and have no clue what the magnesium is doing? Does he have an imbalance

or is

the magnesium helping to move the toxic stuff out of his gut? Am I using this

product

incorrectly? I know with autism there is a gut/brain relationship. In any

case, the seizures

have overall lessened by this magical product!!! But, I would LOVE to get back

to the

weeks without any seizures.

Does anyone have any ideas on this??? If you haven't tried the Natural Calm, I

highly

recommend it. My son has had uncontrollable seizures for 7 years. We have

tried 11

different anti convulsants with no success and terrible side effects.
