whooping cough [was: dissimilar diseases or not?

[Tanya Marquette]

Yes this nutrition doc notes the depletion of mag in soils, too.
so not in the foods the way it should be and people not eating the foods
with mag. a winning combo for deficiency.
actually the list of foods that would normally be good sources of mag is long,
so it should be a mineral that we get easily.

Dietary magnesium deficiency may be related to soil deficiencies. In our area (New England), it's recommended that we add epsom salts (mag-sulph.) to the soil before planting tomatoes. Then, of course, there's the whole issue of the waning vitamin/mineral content of fruits and vegetables raised conventionally rather than organically.

with all the interest in magnesium, here is the link with a short talk by this md on magnesium.
it covers everything people have said here, plus other info.

Most calcium/magnesium supplements hew to the 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. To my knowledge, only Rainbow Lite's has a 2:1 magnesium to calcium ratio.

This book was extremely helpful when I had adrenal fatigue


Licorice root works wonders for adrenal glands. Jarrow used to make an extract of a component of licorice that is most helpful.
DGL, the commonly used licorice product does not work because it is De-Glyzirrhinated and that;s the part that helps adrenals.
This product is also helpful http://www.metagenics.com/products/a-z- ... orice-Plus
Now I use herbal tinctures.

I didn't suggest foot soaks but that may work. What I meant was using magnesium oil, which is highly condensed ocean salt water and rubbing it into the skin is the best way to introduce magnesium into the body.

I know that Epsom salts (mg sulphate) is not as well absorbed as is magnesium chloride.

30 years ago when sensory deprivation was popular via the use of flotation tanks, magnesium sulphate was the preferred media in water to increase buoyancy specifically due to its poor assimilation vs. other forms. As I said, Epsom salt is OK but other forms are much better absorbed. If I were attempting to stave off whooping cough, I wouldn't use the sulphate form, I would use the chloride instead. Each form is very different and they have specific biological reactions what are unique to each.
