To the magnesium experts.....

[Carol Orr]

I soaked my feet in about a teaspoon of mag chloride liguid last night. I woke
in the middle of the night with kind of burning and itching on my feet and
ankles. I was also aware that I was making noises or talking in my sleep and I
think that is what woke me. Did I put too much? ...it says there are 65 mgs
per half teaspoon.

Doesn’t sound like a lot of magnesium. I take 600+ mgs
orally without any noticeable reactions.
You must be very sensitive or something was being stimulated
in you.

I read that (about) 300 grams per litre water equals a saturated
solution, and in a previous mail I reported what a foot bath did (to me).

I also wondered if it 'holds', so to say, that is, would you have to do
this on a daily bases, or does it get 'stored', can it build up, some way?

The storage issue is probably dependent upon the person. I have some diabetes symptoms, and according to the literature I need more magnesium because of this. I have found that I need to do it twice a day or even thrice. I am developing a gel or lotion made with coconut oil so that it is more convenient. I am not the first to think of this; Ancient Minerals even sells 1/2 gallon of their magnesium chloride gel for $165. So it must work. When I finalize my gel/lotion, I will let you-all know. Suffice it to say now that putting beeswax into the mix is not a good idea. It is not absorbable, not a nutrient, and is a bitch to wash off. When I finish my current batch I will be doing some combination of magnesium chloride solution, coconut oil, and perhaps aloe vera and tallow and almond oil.

When making the magnesium chloride solution (aka "oil"), there is no need to measure. I just fill a large, wide mouthed jar up with flakes. Then I pour water in. The flakes will collapse to the bottom of the jar. Then I might microwave the jar and stir it up. There will be magnesium chloride flakes in the bottom of the jar. But so what? Who cares? I still take the solution at the top of the jar and use it. This insures maximum saturation. When the solution gets close to the magnesium flakes in the bottom of the jar, I just put in more water, stir it up, and microwave it and stir some more. If there are no flakes in the bottom of the jar, I put more in and stir it and heat it and stir it again. Again, this insures maximum saturation. I want maximum saturation. This means less painting or spraying, and that means less hassle.

I am learning to just use my hands to wet myself down. Afterwards I put coconut oil on my hands and dry them off.

I hope that this helps. Don't be afraid to experiment. I have immediate (30 minutes) relief from pain when I use magnesium oil, so it gives me the ability to actually know what I am doing rather than reading or listening to someone else.

Understand that this transdermal magnesium chloride thing is NEW. Never before done in the history of the world. So we are explorers, and the person that can feel a difference has something important to say. Everyone else is merely listening to people who can feel a difference.

The difference between old and elderly is magnesium (and probably other minerals and nutrients thrown into the mix).

Sincerely,

Dear Carol,

I have not yet met "too much" when it comes to transdermal magnesium chloride. I paint 10s of teaspoons of it all over my body every day, sometimes twice or thrice a day. It can itch and even sting on rare occasions for sometime after I apply it. I always wait until it is completely absorbed/dried and then rinse it off in the shower.

I am sure that talking in your sleep is probably just stuff that the magnesium allowed to emerge. I wouldn't not be the slightest bit concerned about it. It sounds like a good thing to me. If you murder your husband in your sleep, I won't be held responsible, but I will visit you in prison. (:->)

Sincerely,
Roger

$147 for a gallon of refined magnesium oil? Ridiculous! I buy 50 lb bags of it for about $30. It is sold as an ice melter. Yes, it has a little dirt in it but so what? Mix it in water and let the junk settle to the bottom. No big deal.

BTW: My books on cancer and arthritis are on sale until December 20th.

Comdyne, I hope that you write better than you read because you really misread what I wrote.

$165 per 1/2 gallon of magnesium chloride gel. NOT $147 per 1 gallon of magnesium chloride water solution, which is what "magnesium oil" is. And my interest in making a gel or lotion or even butter (which is what I have created now and am using) is to make it more convenient, less messy, and more absorbable. Ancient Minerals' reason for making a gel, of course, is to make money. But their product has stuff that looks like it came out of a chemistry book, not many, but I can do better. AM's price is also absurd for someone who can do better in their kitchen. All of my ingredient will be nutrients and be absorbable. Mine won't be perfect, so I probably won't try to market it. My current "butter" tends to separate, but I don't mind. The separation is so slow that I daily pour out a few drops and rub it on my skin. But this sort of separation would not be acceptable in a commercial product.

But even my current product with beeswax and shea butter absorbs.

A friend named Alice Connell introduced me to the idea of putting coconut oil on my skin BEFORE putting the magnesium oil on. That really does work nice and it makes one's skin feel soooooo good. This sort of proves that a coconut oil --- magnesium oil lotion would work.
