[epilepsy] Re: Lead

 

Magnesium protects the brain from many metals as well as toxins. Of coarse just taking a magnesium supplement will not do the trick - one has to get their magnesium levels up.

Magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel, which explains why re-mineralization is so essential for heavy metal detoxification and chelation. Magnesium protects the cell against oxyradical damage and assists in the absorption and metabolism of B vitamins, vitamin C and E, which are anti-oxidants important in cell protection. Recent evidence suggests that vitamin E enhances glutathione levels and may play a protective role in magnesium deficiency-induced cardiac lesions.[11]

This excerpt is from the same article that has the referenece in it from 2004 that says
Low levels of magnesium have long been known to cause hyper excitability with convulsive seizures in such studies with the well known reversal of such conditions by treatment with magnesium.[21]
Journal of the American College of Nutrition. 2004 Oct;23(5):545S-548S

I posted that here too weeks ago.
