Magnesium

[Guest guest]

Hi Mandy,

I've also had problems with magnesium oil and itchy skin. I'd been using the

oil and then stopped for a week when the itching started. It only stopped when

I began to use the oil again. I now use it every few days and the itching

hasn't returned.

I was tested for magnesium in December and it was 0.71 mmol/L (0.70-0.90) so I

was only just in range. I decided to use the oil because I wasn't sure which

form of magnesuim to take.

Applying BetterYou™ Magnesium Oil after a shower is an addictive pleasure that

is both stimulating and beneficial. Applying directly to the skin is the most

efficient way for the body to be supplied this essential mineral. **Some people

however will find that initial applications `tingle'. The salt structure of the

mineral seeks out any imperfections in the skin tissue and immediately cleans,

purifies and heals them. This process is fast and can cause irritation for some

skin conditions but passes as the skin is healed. **

Basically any form except oxide can be used for daily supplementation. Many

here use glycinate, citrate, malate, orotate, chloride or aspartate, there are a

few others, just try a few and see which works bests for you.

Aspartic acid is considered non-toxic, it's a type of amino acid. The

combination in Aspartame of phenylalanine and aspartic acid is considered neuro

toxic. Aspartic acid is abundant in plants, particularly sprouting seeds.

(Science: amino acid) a nonessential amino acid that plays a critical part of

the enzyme in the liver that transfers nitrogen-containing amino groups, either

in building new proteins and amino acids or in breaking down proteins and amino

acids for energy and detoxifying the nitrogen in the form of urea.

Monosodium glutamate is what you want to avoid. Glutamine is also an amino

acid, non-essential, but can become essential in intensive athletic training or

gut issues. In human blood glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid.

Extreme stress can also call for supplementation. High levels of cortisol can

lower glutamine stores. Glutamine is important for removing excess ammonia (a

common waste product in the body). It also helps your immune system function and

appears to be needed for normal brain function and digestion.

I didn't say I purchased magnesium from him, nor do I recommended magnesium

oxide for daily supplementation. For the record, I don't necessarily agree with

everything he says either. I think that Sircus and Dean both have excellent

info on magnesium, I just don't happen to agree with this one thing.

How does everyone feel about magnesium taurate? I've been taking this for a few months...and just like with my iodine...I don't feel any different. Is there something majorly wrong with me!!? I am envious of everyone who has found improvement from simple supplements.

[Guest guest]

Magnesium taurate is an excellent choice for oral supplementation. If

interested do a forum search using the keyword " shealy " or " shealy magnesium " to

see some posts that I made last year about his clinical research with magnesium

and how long it takes to replenish at a cellular level using oral

supplementation verses topical magnesium chloride lotion or oil (w/ 150 mg per

tsp of Mg lotion or oil).

What are the health issues that you are addressing?

Are you taking the companion supplements?

Are you on medication?

Hi Lynne, I have to say the same thing. I took potassium iodide, 150 mg/day and never had any detox symptoms and don't feel measurably better.I take all the companion nutrients now but didn't for the first 3 months I used it. Went on Lugol's but still have never detoxed.

I welcome any comments by anyone who knows something about this. Did I do something wrong? Does SSKI not make you detox?ARielOn Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 11:05 AM, Lynne R <lynne1109@...> wrote:

I have been on thyroid replacement hormone for 37 years (since age 12). Currently on a natural thyroid but have been on synthroid in the past. I added the magnesium a couple of months ago after reading that many of us do not get enough in our diets. I started the Lugol's about 4 years ago and stopped after feeling no improvement in sluggishness, brain fog, etc. I swithed to Iosol about a week ago after reading somewhere that it is better absorbed than Lugol's. The only other medication I am on is prometrium for low progesterone level due to early menopause. I also started on about 10 mg DHEA daily about 2 weeks ago and that did make me feel a bit less stiff and sluggish and even nixed the hot flashes. But I think I'm playing with fire with the DHEA so will probably not take it much longer. Do you think maybe since I've been on thyroid for so long that adding iodine now makes no difference? Like maybe my thyroid gland is just toast and does not benefit from anything anymore? Thanks.

[Guest guest]

Hi Lynne,

Remember, Iodine is needed in virtually every part of the human body. Not just the thyroid. I am thyroidless and I make sure that daily I take 100mg of Iodoral. Did you take the companion nutrients while you were taking Lugols? It's very important to do that and if you didn’t, that could be the reason you felt no improvement. Also want to say, that even though sometimes we don't feel improvement when taking any supplement and or nutrient, it doesn’t mean that it isn't good for us. I have been taking Lugols/Iodoral for over 25 years and cannot say that I have ever felt dramatically different due to it; there are many things that affect the body such as our diet, vitamins, minerals,water , emotional feelings, etc., so it's hard to tell. However, knowing what a valuable nutrient iodine is for me, I will take iodine and the companion nutrients for the rest of my life. Kathleen

Thanks Kathleen. I will have to find out what the companion nutrients are because I highly doubt I was taking them. Or at least if I was, it was just by chance. Did you ever hear that Iosol is better than Lugol's? This came as news to me only a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I remember doing when taking the Lugol's a few years ago was that I dissolved it in a cup of water/apple cider vinegar mixture because that was supposed to help the KI portion separate into potassium plus free iodine. Thanks for sharing. I'll go find out what the companion nutrients are.

[Guest guest]

Iosol is not better than Lugol's. It is a proprietary formulation that is

relatively much more expensive to take, because you have to take a lot more

to get the same amount of iodine. The people who make and/or sell Iosol

want you to believe it is better. I caution against hearing something and

acting on it without researching more in depth. This list is a trustworthy

source of information about iodine. (Which is why we must correct people

when they make erroneous statements.)

Please read the New Member doc that you received when joining, it is also

available on the website, and is sent out twice a month to the list at

large. It lists the companion nutrients and the amounts you need. You

might really enjoy Dr Brownstein's book on Iodine, because it talks about

all the ways that the body uses iodine and the various ways the body can

malfunction when it doesn't get it. It is easy to read and well organized,

while also having scientific references.

https://www.drbrownstein.com/bookstore_Iodine.php

I recommend that you give up the idea that if you need to continue with the

thyroid hormone that the iodine " didn't work " or that it's a failure or

that it is futile to supplement with iodine (and the companion

nutrients). It's better to have the hormones you need-- if you need

outside sources, at least you're getting what you need. Iodine is needed by

the thyroid regardless. And, iodine is required by all the cells of the

body. It is required for the process of cell apoptosis (programmed, proper

cell death) and therefore is a requirement for the body to be able to fight

off cancer cells. Our skin needs it, all the reproductive organs need it.

I would suggest that you take pregnenolone instead of the

DHEA. Pregnenolone is a precursor to many hormones, so the body is

provided with what it needs to make what it needs. Preg. rarely if ever

causes problems for people, although ideally people would get tested before

taking it. If testing isn't possible, it is not the same danger as taking

hormones directly. I get the powder from Beyond a Century and just put it

on my tongue, not unpleasant and no swallowing a pill.

Hi Lynne,

From what I have studied, Iosol is definitely not better than Lugol's. I would never stop taking Lugol's as it is far superior and not as expensive as Iosol. The companion nutrients are listed in the New Member doc. you were sent when you joined. If you didn’t save it, you can go to FILES then New Members Read First, then New Member Iodine Q and A. doc, this will take you to Commonly asked Questions and lists the Supporting Nutrients #3. Hope this is helpful. Kathleen

Well, one POSSIBLE explanation for not feeling better is that your body is using iodine to address something you don't know about. If, for example, you had a brand new baby cancer trying to grow, the body might assign the iodine to the cancer instead of to making you feel better/different. That's one of those things you can't prove, one way or the other. But I have heard people complain that they take something that is supposed to have a range of actions in the body, & instead of working on the one they care about the most, it works on the one they care about the least.I never had serious fibrocystic breast disease, so that wasn't even on my radar. A tech at my last (as in last EVER!) mammogram told me I had unusually dense breasts, but I didn't think a lot about it. But on iodine, my breasts softened up noticeably. Which might not mean anything at all -- BUT my mother died of breast cancer. So maybe that means EVERYTHING. I have no way to know.Then again, fatigue & brain fog can also be detox symptoms, so how do you separate which fatigue is caused by bromides?It is kind of frustrating, though, not to get any sort of feedback to reassure you you are on the right path.AnneOn Jun 15, 2011, at 7:18 PM, Lynne R wrote:

Theoretically, if your detox pathways are working really well, or you are detoxing very slowly, you wouldn't feel sick. If your urine smelled funky, & got cloudy, that was halides being flushed out of your body. And if it didn't make you feel awful when it happened, that was actually a good thing. If you have uncomfortable detox symptoms, that is because the bad stuff is having trouble getting out of your body after it is stirred up. So that might just mean you were taking enough companion nutrients...AnneOn Jun 15, 2011, at 2:58 PM, Ariel Monserrat wrote:

This is what Iosol is:

Supplement Facts

Serving Size: 1 drop Servings Per Container: 620

Amount Per Serving

% Daily Value

Iodine

1830 mcg

1220%

Other Ingredients: Glycerine (vegetarian), Iodine, Ammonium Iodine.

It is not superior to Lugol's formula and if you are having less problems with it, it is because it probably isn't doing anything. Lugol's is powerful and works to push out halides and heal the body. You may have needed to support detoxing more on Lugols to feel better or pulse dose (take for 5 days on 2 days off).

Hi Manda,

Magnesium is one of the companion nutrients on the iodine protocol. I take 400mg daily which is the recommended dose. Magnesium supports the the body whether one is taking iodine or not. Your problem with the dye in your ct scan was due to the dye, not iodine; many have bad reactions to the dye. Best, Kathleen

Magnesium

Hiya to all,Could anyone tell me if it ok to take 375mg magnesium daily....am bit confused on reading recent posts on here, does magnesium increase levels of iodene? because i had a bad reaction to a recent ct scan using iodene dye and have a underactive thyroid of which since the scan my t4 levels have gone very high and since i have been suffering very bad panic/anxiety....i have been taking magnesium for about a week now because was told its good for the nervous system so can help panic/anxiety.....now not sure what to do because if magnesium does increase iodene thats the last thing i need because of the iodene in the ct scan causing my thyroid to go haywire so i,m trying to keep away from iodene. So can i keep taking the magnesium?Really hope this make sense, so some one can give me advice.ThanksManda

[Guest guest]

Hi Manda,

It wasn't the iodine, it was the DYE! Iodine gets blamed because of some stupid mistakes/fraud by doctors who were investigating it way back when. In reality, as continues to say: EVERY cell of the body needs iodine. And if you have panic/anxiety issues, you might check out your adrenals. Getting both in check have helped me a lot! Glowing, grace~

[Guest guest]

that sounds like a good combination product.  Because magnesium is so poorly absorbed some people believe that combo products offer the best chance at getting adequate magnesium.   If you don't mind me asking - where do you live?

 

Personally, I find that I do better with transdermal magnesium -- applied to the skin -- in the form of magnesium chloride.  You can buy magnesium chloride lotion, spray/oil, or flakes.  One of the most highly regarded brands is sourced in Europe (Zectenstein? Sea) Norway?  You can get that brand cheapest thru Swanson Vitamins (if they ship to your country).

Does this work?

I don't have any medical conditions other than spinal column problems.

 

Thanks,

Noura

Actually this product was meant to treat fatigue conditions, therefore it contains Mg along with amino acids, perhaps the reason you mentioned for the multiple Magnesium combinations was taken into consideration too. I live in Syria, and I'm a pharmacist, I'm sure there isn't such transdermal products here. Shipping isn't an option either. Thanks for replying!Be well,Noura Re: Magnesium Posted by: " Kendra " KCuyler@... suzyq46360 Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:01 am (PDT) that sounds like a good combination product. Because magnesium is so poorlyabsorbed some people believe that combo products offer the best chance atgetting adequate magnesium. If you don't mind me asking - where do youlive?Personally, I find that I do better with transdermal magnesium -- applied tothe skin -- in the form of magnesium chloride. You can buy magnesiumchloride lotion, spray/oil, or flakes. One of the most highly regardedbrands is sourced in Europe (Zectenstein? Sea) Norway? You can get thatbrand cheapest thru Swanson Vitamins (if they ship to your country).KendraOhio, USAOn Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 6:08 AM, Noura <n-taweel@...> wrote:>>> Hi,****>> I live outside the USA, I couldn't find several choices for Magnesium to> support my iodine protocol.
