Guest guest Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 To answer the question on using Himalayan Crystal Salt as a mineral supplement, it does not supply minerals in sufficient quantity. Deficiency in selenium, potassium, chromium, vanadium, zinc, and a few others would have to be addressed, and the sodium chloride amount is far too high with this kind of supplement. So, it's not so cheap to use the fancy salt / sea salts as supplements, and it's incorrect to think they are valuable as such. all good, Duncan > > Good idea & I do that, but I still must supplement magnesium orally or I > get muscle cramps. > > > >Why not just take himalayan crystal salt and you get all your minerals > -cheap< > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I agree & know that first hand. Magnesium oil transdermally is a big help with magnesium supplementation, but it is not enough. Additionally, I have found that Magnesium Asporotate is a good oral supplement. Occasionally, I still get muscle cramps, so both are not adequate even together. beyond that, I have been taking colloidal minerals for years, but not for magnesium. >To answer the question on using Himalayan Crystal Salt as a mineral supplement, it does not supply minerals in sufficient quantity.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Jim mentioned a point on the form of magnesium; magnesium and calcium aspartate and orotate are the most bioavailable forms. 2-EAP (2 ethanolamine phosphate)are legendary treatments from Dr Nieper. <http://www.google.com/search?q=2+ethanolamine+phosphate+magnesium+nieper> all good, Duncan > > I agree & know that first hand.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hi Duncan: Actually, Magnesium Asporotate <http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SLR201/ItemDetail?n=0> is a proprietary form of Aspartate, Ciric, Ortatate, and Oxide that I have found it to be superior to all other forms and mixes (so far). It is bottled by Solaray and sold by Swanson On the other hand, I learned years ago that supplementation with Calcium Asparartate or any other form of Calcium is a very bad idea. I learned years ago that Calcium supplementation causes muscle cramps (and far worse). Read The Calcium Lie by Dr. (What your doctor does not know could kill you). <http://www.amazon.com/Calcium-Lie-Doctor-Doesnt-Could/dp/0981581854/ref=sr_1_1?\ s=books & ie=UTF8 & qid=1313862066 & sr=1-1> Here he explains that calcium hardens concrete (as an architect I understand that) and it also hardens your body in undesirable ways. Thomson also describes how we have gotten away from sea salt in our diets since we no longer preserve meat with it due to the invention of refrigeration. Sea salt contains all of the minerals that we require in correct proportions. So with the refrigerator came our deficiencies in minerals and especially Magnesium, which is the most important of these IMHO. In his book, he quotes Dr. Linus ing where he stated that, " You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency. " Along with this, I thank Dr. Wallach for pointing this out to me in his humorous way and keeping me well. While I am grateful for your contribution here, Duncan, with regards to whey and its benefits, I have discovered two problems from it: First, it causes extra plaque build up unless you are extremely careful with your oral hygene. My solution has been to use a water pick frequently in addition to my normal protocol. Second, It is too good a source of calcium and as a result it requires more supplementation with magnesium in order to offset the problem. Prior to using whey, I had beaten the calcium problem and had virtually avoided all muscle cramps for many years. Today, I have to pump up the volume and even with the care that I take, I am still getting leg and hand cramps on occasion. Calcium Asporotate and Transdermal Magnesium have both helped a great deal in this regard. One thing for certain, I really like the Whey addition to my diet and it has been an overall benefit. Thus far, your recommendations have all rung true. So, again, I thank you Duncan. Cheers, Jim ..

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Kewl. I thought it was a typo, not a brand. The mix of mineral forms allows several opportunities for assimilation all at once. Sounds catchy too. We use whey and also take magnesium. We're not experiencing symptoms. Whey contains magnesium: http://idosi.org/wjdfs/wjdfs4(1)/12.pdf We'd been having epsom salts baths periodically and we get magnesium in our meat: <http://www.livestrong.com/article/388351-vitamins-minerals-that-meats-give-us/> We now also use zechstein salts magnesium oil, and thanks for that information. We made ours from the flakes and it feels just like oil too in a rubdown. Suppose it's clean enough to hide a bit in the chop? all good, Duncan > > Hi Duncan: > > Actually, Magnesium Asporotate > <http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SLR201/ItemDetail?n=0> is a proprietary > form of Aspartate, Ciric, Ortatate, and Oxide that I have found it to be > superior to all other forms and mixes (so far).
