I just searched through our archives but could not find what I was looking for....

maybe my bad....

my questions right now:

1) how can I get the magnesium-through-the-skin?

what products are there? are they working for you?

2) if I need the Mg as much as the little bugs, maybe I need to make a compromise and take the risks of biofilms to help my body - but...

is it ok for me to drink the Mg powder? (Product: CALM) with citrate, I think

would that cause biofilms or irritate my gut?

I seem to be able to "go" better with it and I like that effect but hate to aggrevate my gut rather than help it - it feels a little like an aggrevation since I feel things going on right away when I drink the Calm product

not sure if that is good or bad, i.e. if my GI says "Ohhhh - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, we needed that!" or if it says "Oh My God, what is she doing now, as if we don't have enough problems down here"



can anyone give me a clue?!?

Help!!!

1) You could use some "magnesium oil", like so:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004NHN9OA/ref=mp_s_a_3?qid=1318459790&sr=8-3
Note that it's not actually an "oil", it just has an oily consistency.

But I think the best way is to take frequent epsom salt baths, or at least to soak your feet in epsom salt for 15-20 minutes a few times a week. That stuff is like liquid gold.

2) Here's a good recent thread discussing the benefits of different forms of magnesium supplementation (oral vs transdermal):

You are my hero, James!!!!

I am going to take the epsom salt more seriously now, before I "buy more stuff" he he

I am bout out of mula and the Mg in the epsom slat is already in my cabinet - just need to use it, eh

if I was still rich, I'd buy the books on amazon about the Transdermal Mg Therapy but I think I get the gist

Thanks for the tip!

The magnesium oil from Swansons

http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SWU485/ItemDetail

It's mined from deep underground at the site of the ancient Zechstein Sea in The Netherlands. Naturopathic expert Dr. Barbara Hendel recommends Magnesium oil for daily use. It's non-greasy and absorbs rapidly leaving little residue and no unpleasant scent. Magnesium Oil consists of a supersaturated solution of magnesium chloride and pure water.

It is a good quality brand that really helps. I use it on days when I do not take an epsom salt bath. Just spray it on, wait 20 minutes and shower it off. I really like it.
