Potentizing Food Additives
Posted: Mon May 25, 2009 8:24 pm
Given the larger than average dose you take, you may want to send one of your Slow Mag tablets to be potentized or one of its "inactive" ingredients, FD&C Blue No. 2 (E132 in Europe), which can cause brain tumors, behaviour changes and learning disabilities.

Have any of these food additives been potentized?
Of course, the non-pharma, natural Magnesium Chloride tablet doesn't have this problematic food color additive.
FD&C Blue No. 2.
(a) Identity. (1) The color additive FD&C Blue No. 2 is principally the disodium salt of 2-(1,3-dihydro-3-oxo-5-sulfo-2 H -indol-2-ylidene)-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1 H -indole-5-sulfonic acid (CAS Reg. No. 860–22–0) with smaller amounts of the disodium salt of 2-(1,3-dihydro-3-oxo-7-sulfo-2 H -indol-2-ylidene)-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1 H -indole-5-sulfonic acid (CAS Reg. No. 54947–75–0) and the sodium salt of 2-(1,3-dihydro-3-oxo-2 H -indol-2-ylidene)-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1 H -indole-5-sulfonic acid (CAS Reg. No. 605–18–5). Additionally, FD&C Blue No. 2 is obtained by heating indigo (or indigo paste) in the presence of sulfuric acid. The color additive is isolated and subjected to purification procedures. The indigo (or indigo paste) used above is manufactured by the fusion of N -phenylglycine (prepared from aniline and formaldehyde) in a molten mixture of sodamide and sodium and potassium hydroxides under ammonia pressure. The indigo is isolated and subjected to purification procedures prior to sulfonation.
