'B vitamins, all of which work best when taken together, play a role in nerve functioning, so find a good vitamin B complex and take up to 200mg daily. Magnesium is involved in muscle impulse transmission and the activity of nerve cells, so take 250mg daily and step up your dietary intake of leafy green vegetables. Calcium is also key to healthy nerve action and muscle contraction, so take 500mg a day. To prevent a further attack, you need to bolster your immune system. A large daily dose of zinc (50mg) will help since it works to support all aspects of immune function.'
