Magnesium

[Roger B]

Dear Irene, et. al.,

I have been neglecting my magnesium. I ran out of my magnesium taurate tabs and have also neglected to paint magnesium on my skin. ???paint magnesium on one's skin??? "Did he just say 'paint magnesium on my skin'"? Yes, paint magnesium chloride aka magnesium oil on one's skin. I have been doing it for quite sometime, and IT WORKS. Last night I came to the conclusion that I felt like shit because I had been neglecting my magnesium. I even got a migraine. So I looked for some Phillips MOM but could not find any. So I painted myself thoroughly with magnesium oil (most people use a sprayer), and it was like a new day. Stronger, more vigorous, less pain, in fact almost NO pain. I even felt like doing yoga this morning. Here is a link for that.

And I intend to buy the oral stuff that you recommend.

Sincerely,
Roger Bird

Roger if you can get enough Magnesium using Magnesium "oil" (magnesium chloride hexahydrate with a tad bit of water added) through the skin - then that is great as it has no addtives.

I can't believe how fast I absorb/dry the magnesium in fall/winter. Less than 10 minutes this morning as I type.

I am going to go ahead with the oral because last night my son came down and discovered me in the kitchen half naked painting myself with magnesium and he playfully displayed his dismay. (:->) I would prefer to at least feel that I don't have to paint 3 or 4 times a day obsessively.

Thanks to acupuncture / magnesium /boron / homeopathy / water, my encrusted wound has QUICKLY healed up. Now that is really cool.

Roger

For me the best source of the highest grade magnesium for the money, assimilability (magnesium sulfate) , cheap, is a box or bag of regular old Epsom salts. I put a tablespoon in water, stir it up and drink it. The taste is absolutely horrible, the first time I tried it I couldn't believe how bitter it was. But boy did it work. One dose killed a chronic morning depression I had suffered from for years, within 24 hours, permanently. Since then I seem to have developed a taste for it, and I only take it once in a while. Works great for me. I don't use much, just every now and then. Too much might be toxic. Bag or carton lasts me for years.
Remember, it is written, that just about everyone who ingests too much coffee, alcohol and sugar, takes drugs, esp painkillers, or has a craving for chocolate, is in the hospital or psych ward, or doesn't eat his vegetables, probably has a magnesium imbalance . . and . . I reckon, "needs a dose of salts!"
Magnesium is the second most used mineral in the body, compliments calcium absorption and binds well with oxygen, retains water in the gut and is necessary for enzyme action
ps: This is just for me. You ought to consult your own doctor about magnesium before taking my word for it.

I use Epsom salts for a foot bath.

The bitter taste of Epsom salts, their availability, low cost and the common custom of using them exclusively for external applications, especially footbaths, has caused the use of their content, pure magnesium sulfate, to be overlooked for its superiority in absorption over the exponentially more costly and ineffective magneisum carbide, which by comparison is almost useless.
It's main drawwabck is bitterness . . but remember something Kaviraj told me once that rang true, what is bitter on the tongue is sweet in the stomach, and such is the case with magnesium sulfate, Epsom Salts.
I have had a running battle through most of my life with a coffee addiction. Coffee, as well as alcohol, smoking, sugar and drugs, can deplete magnesium stores, and I've found this out by personal experience to be true. I read somewhere that a dose of salts would cut down the craving for these things, and I found out it was true for coffee and sugar. IN diluting a dose to decrease its bitterness, I found that it made water without it taste sweet!
I have prescribed Epsom slats for restless leg syndrome, which I believe has a connection to magnesium deficiency, cured by a "dose of salts," Epsom salts, validating in the crude Hahnemann's credo of similitude.
So, if you're feeling down, depressed, angry, i.e. "bitter," take a dose of the bitter, "take a dose of salts!"
best to all,
John the Evangelist (of Epsom Salts)

John, very interesting!

Since you react so sensitively to epsom salts, I wonder if you have tried mag-sulph, in either low or high potency?

Also, for years I have used magnesium in either chelate or citrate form (sometimes others). Have you ever done a comparison?

No, I have not tried it in potency, as it does fit my totality of symptoms and I am concerned about developing a tolerance in the crude, which I must admit doesn't seem to make much sense, but the similitude is confusing. I have had mag phos in low potency (cell salts), nothing noticeable from it.
I don't believe I am any more sensitive to the crude than most. In fact I think I have grown desensitized to it. Its use in the crude was recommended to me by Dr. Al Aguirre, N.D., a food scientist, in the '80s, before I knew of it in potency. According to Clarke fatal poisoning has occurred from an overdose, death apparently occurring from collapse; and the proving of the salts produced many symptoms of utter prostration. I have seen a case of overdose that caused prostration without any fatal effects, but I don't see how anyone could overdose on it, it's so bitter. One dose every few months or more has been enough for me and others.
I've heard folks swear by it who have tried it.
Within the last two weeks I started having pain in my right knee from running. By Tues. when it failed to get better, I took a dose with some shark cartillage and it did wonders, pain disappeared within hours, again . . so far, knock on wood. I've seen the combination of Epsom salts, a little shark cartillage, low X ruta grav., a change in diet and an herbal suppl. work like a miracle cure for a crippling subluxated tendon, after surgery was indicated as the only way out.
It has NOT worked for idiopathic adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), but Lyc. has.
In place of shark cartilage and Epsom salts naturopath Joel Wallach has suggested calcium fortified orange juice, plain Knox gelatin and a liquid mineral supplement. He called it the Pig Arthritis Diet because it worked so well on pigs. He claimed it's cured arthritis. Aguirrre, who studied with Pauling, is wary of gelatin and shark cartillage and suggests ox tail soup . .and of course crystalline ascorbic for bone and tendon problems . He stayed away from homeopathics, not because he thought it didn't work but because he said he didn't understand it and was having enough success using blood results to indicate nutritional changes and supplementation. So between Al, the fear of aggravation and the old materialism popping up again I guess is why I haven't found a use for mag.sulph. and other mags. in potency . . yet.

John
