Hi Raybakes!
Thanks so much for that info, and the link.
No, I didn't know about Glutamate vs GABA, and calcium excess causing excitotoxicity. It makes huge sense to me, from my own experiences!
What also makes a lot of sense is how the oxidative process sets the ball rolling in the brain. I recently had my anti-oxidant levels tested, and they were very low!! So this fact no doubt compounds my problem!! I am taking a variety of anti-oxidants now, so perhaps with a dual approach of no/low calcium supplementation, (but magnesium though) and a large increase in anti-oxidant consumption, I can really help myself. Maybe to the point where I can cease my prescription drugs.
Thanks again for your input!!!
Take care.
Jas
