Epilepsy is complex so there are three things that have
to be considered when planning a diet to treat it.
- A deficiency of magnesium has been found to have an
involvement in epilepsy so it is essential that foods rich in magnesium
should be adequately supplied.
- Epileptic seizures can be brought on by an allergic
reaction to certain food substances or simply some foods.
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) is commonly
involved in epilepsy so it is also essential for the diet to be anti-hypoglycaemia in nature. If hypoglycaemia is found to be so involved
then follow the program and anti-hypoglycaemic diet I suggest under the heading Hypoglycaemia.
It is often found that Epileptics have poor assimilation
of minerals such as, calcium and magnesium particularly if they are taken with
meals. If this is found to be obvious, calcium and magnesium supplements should
be given to the patient to take on an empty stomach with fruit juice or with one
tablet of Betaine Hydrochloride...(more)
