OT - Magnesium tablets versus magnesium oil

[Vicki Satta]

Thanks Shannon. Did you get my doggie teeth mail? I'll try to get the pics to you today.

Yes. I have the world's best homeopath... and I've probably never mentioned it because I have so many problems, that one seems kinda irrelevant. I will report it... and see what happens.

It's kind of a "duh!" response, but for years I have found that the best immediate resolution for cramping is to drink water. I have an athletic background, and this is what athletes do. Electrolytes can come later, but the usual remedy is about a pint to a quart of water. This works for me with nocturnal cramps as well.

FWIW, I bought some Mag oil yesterday, and am giving it a college try.

Out of town and having forgotten my remedy kit, I started to feel leg cramps coming on toward morning. There was no homeopathic pharmacy or even a health store nearby, so a naturopath friend suggested I go to a local chain drugstore and buy some magnesium and potassium supplements. It was not easy finding a decent magnesium, but I managed to get magnesium citrate and potassium gluconate (sold separately). They did the trick beautifully.
At home, I usually take a calcium-magnesium supplement (BlueBonnet 1:2 ratio of calc. to mag.) at night if there's any inkling of cramping. Don't need this every night -- maybe once a week.
My husband has cramps, too, but his tend to be in the thigh and groin muscles, whereas mine are in the calves and feet.
Peace,
Dale

My Magnesium oil arrived to day just in time as I finished my last tablet yesterday. I used 3 sprays after my shower and no tingle so I take it I am not depleted in it ? Question is what would make me want to do more sprays?

I'm not picking on calcium but was interested to see this today: http://www.australiandoctor.com.au/news ... ney-stones

It seems that supplements become drugs in their own right, and with their own problems, once divorced from food.

It's still best if we can manage our problems in a more wholistic way - which I know you already agree with Shannon.

In my opinion you should quicly get it up to 4.5

The RDA of potassium is 4700 mg
A cup of coconut water has 600mg.
You'd need 8 cups a day.

Better to take a supplement. If your potassium was low you Dr should have prescribed it, as the FDA will not allow more than 99mg per capsule - which is not enough for a cat never mind a human.
A fair supplement would be 50 caps a day.

If you have pain, and have not noticed a great decrease from spraying with magnesium oil, then either you did not use enough, or you are not magnesium deficient. Not being magnesium deficient is highly unlikely if you are an older person. I would trying 10 sprays and rub it around and see what happens. Don't be afraid of experiment. If you do what I do with making your own, it will be so inexpensive that using too much won't be an issue.

I am not doing it for pain but as a supplement for an older person who has Type 2 inherited diabetes controlled on a low carb/low GI diet and exercise. However what I saw this morning – a lower blood sugar reading than usual- makes me wonder if this was caused by the magnesium oil!! I used 6 sprays altogether yesterday.

I agree with this principle Fran, but the link is not a good one.
Anonymous internet reports by peope, who were not resewarchers, are usually hype mopre than valid.
Here's a good link to use instead:
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script= ... so&tlng=en
This formal research shows that calcium supplements REDUCE incidence of calcium kidney stone, unless the calcium is over 22150mg per day.
If you add Vit D, then the stones risk goes WAY down compared even to people not taking supplements.

Namaste,
Irene
