Hi Sue, it is recommended 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom salt ie Magnasium Sulphate in orange juice if taken each morning, it will stop the fits. I don't know the age of your son so, you can reduce the dose accordingly to 1/4 or even less of the Epsom salt. Hope it works. Good Luck, BaldevReplied by Suzanne (New York, Ny) on 03/20/2012
Acupuncture is incredibly effective for seizures of all etiologies (causes). Depending on the child, typically you can needle them quite effectively once they turn 4 y.o. You should also get him on a high dose probiotic. Often times when the seizures don't respond to medication, they will respond to probiotics. Lastly, you will probably want to try cutting all sugar out of his diet. For some people the seizures come on when the blood sugar is out of balance... either they haven't had enough to eat or they have eaten too much sugar.
