Re: Myoclonic seizures

I cured my own epilepsy some years ago. I discovered that I was suffering from a little known condition called PDS, or Pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) Deficency/Dependency Syndrome. My personal cure consists of taking one high potency B with C vitamin tablet each day, and a complete multivitamin tablet 3 times a week. My vitamin B-6 intake is approximately 25 times the normal RDA, which so far has caused me no problems. I also discovered that low amounts B-6 can keep the body from producing GABA, a natural body tranquilizer which helps to block brain cells from firing wildly and setting of a seizure. Low B-6 also makes it hard for the body to produce seritonin and tryptophan as well. I also discovered that other vitamin deficencies, especially B vitamins, if severe enough can result in other serious and sometimes fatal conditions as well. Thus I take all of the other vitamins so that I' am fully covered. I discovered this information while searching the Mayo Clinics website several years ago, but it is also available in any Merck Manual. Hope this helps. Doctor B Wise Tweet
