Hi,

My son had absence seizures, hundreds per day. I tried:

- taurine

- fatty acids

- diets

- antioxidants

- l_theanine

- parasites treatments

- antivirals

I saw a slight decrease of his number of seizures with vit E. The rest

did not help. After one year of trying supplements, I gave up and put

him on meds. I still give him vit E though...

Here are some links that I kept:

Have you eliminated all foods containing MSG from his diet. This

preservative has been associated with seizures. It's a neurotoxin.

Same with artificial sweeteners.

Several months ago, I read a post by someone about the link between

seizures and fat digestion. I didn't save the information at the time

because I wasn't relevant in our home, but now for the life of me I

can't find it!

Does this notion ring a bell for anyone? If so, can you help? Maybe I

read it on another list, but if someone can help out, I would also

like to find the post again to help a friend.

Sorry I can't help more.

If you do a google search of those two words quite a lot of info pops

up that you might be interested in.
