Yes and No.

Epson salt is magnesium sulphate. A dose of 8g of magnesium sulphate will

retain about 120ml of water in the lumen of the gut. This doubles the volume

of the feces. The amount of magnesium absorbed after an oral dose is usually

too small.

Blood normally contains magnesium ions in three states: bound to plasma

proteins, complexed to small anion ligands such as bicarbonate or to

peptides and FREE.

It is the FREE ionized form of magnesium that is physiologically active.

Changes in extracellular magnesium concentration have direct effects on

vascular smooth muscle tone. Decreases in extracellular Mg++ raise

contractile tension while elevations above physiologic level lower baseline

tension.

So although magnesium relaxes smooth muscle, you will not have enough of the

free form in the blood to give you that effect.

I think it will be better to try to dissolve or soften the stone.

Hi Sandy,

I will recommend you read the information at this site. There is a lot of

good information there.

Your husband needs to see his doctor or a qualified alternative medicine

practitioner.

Hi, Sandy,

There is a lot of good information in the lines they add

to each email, and I also share what I've done at my

web site, a link in the signature lines to the gallbladder

page. I've been doing these on and off for about

15 years...when I was younger (in my mid 30's) I started

and got to the point I was doing very well with diet,

etc., and things were under control. Then I got a little

less careful about my diet and after not " flushing " for

over 5 years, started again about a year ago. I also think

there are more stones as a result of age and

hormonal changes the body goes through? Anyway,

I am flushing every now and then as I feel like it, no

real regimine. Usually wait about a month or 2 between

each. I am improved a lot, but still have discomfort

at times...never have had the extreme pain many describe.

Best to you and your hubby,
