Re: Magnesium -- why not epsom salts?

[Guest guest]

Many of us use epsom salts in a soaking bath, it's one of the detox pathway

improvement

methods. Magnesium chloride is the form the body uses, and any other form has

to be

converted into chloride before it can be used. So the mag chloride is the

easiest on the

body. Also I believe that epsom salts will sit on top of the skin and form a

crust, and not

soak in like chloride does.

But you're free to use epsom salts freely and lavishly.

I take epsom salt baths and feel better afterwards, and to me it seems the effect is stronger than what would be produced from sitting in a plain warm bath alone. I never have a crust on top of my skin...seems to soak in, at least in my subjective experience. I've used the mag oil directly on my feet when they were spasming, and it worked in about 30 seconds...so I'm a believer in both methods for transdermal magnesium.

Get a filter to put on your bath faucet/shower head that takes out chlorine.

I take epsom salt baths and don't get salt crusts either. I'm talking about if

you dissolved

epsom salts to the same saturation as mag chloride in the mag oil, not if it's

all diluted in a

bath.

We recommend both epsom salt baths and mag oil as transdermal routes for

magnesium

intake. But in addition the hot epsom salt bath is a detoxification method.

Im sure our bodies soak up some Epsom salt before any crust forms might not be enough or just enough Bobbi Bandit & Foxy Jasmine Bonnie & Clyde Sylvett & Bella Gabe Brutus

[Guest guest]

Let me rephrase -- the question was asked about why not dissolve epsom salts in

water and

use like mag oil instead of mag chloride. I stated that I thought that if epsom

salts were

dissolved into solution at the same density as mag chloride, that the epsom

salts might form

a crust on the skin rather than soaking in. But that was the ONLY circumstance

under

which I meant to indicate there might be a crust.

If you put 1 or 2 cups of epsom salts in a bath, it dissolves and soaks into the

skin no

problem. And obviously, from experience, does not form a crust.

I was only talking about a specific high-density situation like mag oil, which

someone asked

about. I never meant to suggest that typical uses of epsom salts (soaking in a

bath) would

create a crust.

I wasn't able to find extensive direct information about how magnesium is metabolized in the body, but the following article is very interesting, on why mag chloride is an ideal form for the body. The article also mentions Dr Brownstein and iodine and bromides, near the end.

http://magnesiumforlife.com/product-information/why-magnesium-chloride/

If you do ctrl-F and type in " convert " (without the quote marks), it will take you to the paragraph where it states the body has to convert all other forms to mag chloride.

A very informative, (like 180 page) article on Magnesium from Eby may give alot of insight to Magnesium. http://george-eby-research.com/ , just scroll down on the left you will see research info. for Magnesium.
