A little more than a year ago I came across an article by a woman who had very good results stopping her convulsions using taurine. After reading her account I began a search for information about it and how it may affect seizures. What I found is taurine is highly concentrated in the tissues of the brain, liver, and eyes. Insufficient quantities of taurine impedes liver function and, in cats, leads to blindness. Its role in seizures is that taurine acts to stabilize cell walls so the neurons can fire off normally.
Seizures result from random firing of nerve cells.
My small partial seizures I still did not have under control last year, and sometimes had several a day. The symptoms ranged from panic, to sensations of foul odors, visual disturbances, memory loss, and sickness in my gut. After reading what information was available, I began taking taurine in June. About a month later my mental state and perceptions had stabilized considerably. In August my long- standing digestive distress was easing and the frequency of seizures was much less.
