An increase in the extracellular concentration of glutamate and aspartate before
or during seizure onset, suggesting that either enhanced amino acid release or
impaired uptake contributes to seizure initiation. Glutamate antagonists are potent
anticonvulsants and provide significant protection against brain damage following
stroke or traumatic injury, but can have cognitive side effects. Anticonvulsant
compounds which act on sodium channels and reduce ischemia-induced glutamate
release, are cerebroprotective but are free from the cognitive side effects of NMDA-
receptor antagonists.
In developing a supplemental protocol for kundalini we would do well to
consider Ward Deans article Seizures: A Nutritional Approach at http://www.vrp.com/
For seizure Ward Dean M.D. suggests:
Magnesium: 500-1,000 mg/day, Selenium: 100-200 mcg/day, Taurine: 1-3
gm/day, L-carnitine: 1-3 gm/day, GABA 500-1,000 mg/day, Vitamin E: 400-
800 IU/day, DMG (dimethylglycine): 50-200 mg/day, Pregnenolone: 100-500
mg/day, Kava Kava: 200-800 mg/day; Vitamin B complex, w/special emphasis
on: Vitamin B1: 50-100 mg/day, Vitamin B6: 200-500 mg/day, Folic Acid: 400-
1,000 mcg/day
