I stumbled upon some interesting links that describe Vitamin B6 being used for treatments of medical conditions. I thought it could be interesting to post since so many people are interested in B6 for dream enhancement purposes.

- Autism therapy

- Various treatments including:
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Migraines
- Acne
An interesting side note, many of the treatments instruct taking magnesium as well as Vitamin B6. For example, the autism therapy suggests 8mg/lb body weight of Vitamin B6 be administered with 3mg/lb body weight of magnesium. This is the recommended dose for children. For adults, the following quote was given:
"The upper limits advised for adults or those above 120 pounds is 1,000 mg/day, although some have been on 1,500 mg/day. I added 500 mg/day to my own son's 1,000 mg/day for one year, but saw no improvement beyond the 1,000 mg that he had taken for 20 years, so I reverted to 1,000 mg/day."
also, with regards to magnesium:
Magnesium: Giving about 3 or 4 mg of magnesium per pound of body weight, up to 400 mg per day for adults, enhances the effects of the B6 and protects against possible B6-induced magnesium deficiency. This is not a megadose of magnesium, but rather the amount that many researchers, including me, believe that everyone should take for optimum health. Almost every type of food processing depletes magnesium, so supplemental magnesium is essential to avoid a deficiency.
As with any kind of treatment, please do your homework and consult with a professional before trying anything in this post. I am just posting this for your information.
