Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi all, I know in the past we have had discussions about using magnesium for constipation and whether it can be toxic. As I have posted in the past, my kids do well taking approx. 675mg /day (down from 875mg/day when they were solely on mag malate) - a mix of mag malate and mag citrate now that they seem to be tolerating citrate better. Well, here is the irony of the situation - my DAN ordered a Spectracell test on my daughter to look at exactly what was being utilized in the blood cell after 2 OAT tests came back saying she was deficient in B6 and B12 (despite supplementing those). To our surprise, the Spectracell test revealed she was deficient in magnesium!!! My DAN's reasoning is that the magnesium is staying in the gut and being used as an osmotic effect and is not getting absorbed. Thus, he wants to try her on Vit D to help the magnesium absorb better. While I know every kid is different, I just thought I would pass our experience with this on. V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi-- well that is interesting...magnesium hydroxide is an osmotic, but I usually don't think of mag malate and citrate as having that property because they are usually so well absorbed and utilized by cells. But I suppose that they can have an osmotic effect, too, as some places list mag citrate under that category but I tend to think of that referring to that bottle of the liquid mag citrate " flush " that is usually taken in a large dose, prior to colon procedures, to flush out the colon and not just a daily small or moderate dose. Perhaps her deficiency is more related in part to the b vitamins and like you speculate, perhaps some vitamin D to help her utilize more magnesium, might change things! I remember reading somewhere about vitamin D helping make the stools softer in some people, and so perhaps that is the reason why, because it not only helps the immune system, but helps the body utilize the magnesium better so that it is doing more of what it is supposed to do with the cells and not being so much an osmotic. Because with magnesium citrate, the magnesium ions are thought to have an effect on nitric oxide synthase, and help with some inflammatory mediator factors in the gut (PAF's). Both the nitric oxide and the platelet factors help with stimulating secretions in the gut and improving gastrointestinal motility. So perhaps getting the b's corrected, and the D supplemented, then the magnesium can do what it's supposed to do... let's hope so! Keep us posted!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 just looking up old protocols, Pfieffer Treatment Center recommended Magnesium Oxide, just for the record. I wonder why? Someone on here posted something about the different magnesiums that was very helpful.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 We switched from mag citrate to oxide! Our gastro said to be cautious with the citrate that it can be acidic(but he was referring to the large dose cleanouts, so no sure about small dose maintenance). Our son seems to do well with the oxide! But yet we dont use this for his stools we use it for other medical issues. We find the best for our son and stools is aloe vera juice and vitamin C!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mag citrate can help to break up oxalate crystals -- which if your GI tract doesn't have enough of the right bacteria to absorb the subsequent oxalic acid, it can create an acidic stool. BUT -- That may sound bad, but it's not exactly. One of the suspected side effects of miralax is that it create oxalate crystals that are then socked away everywhere in the body - kidney, liver, bones and brain. As you slowly remove them from the GI tract, more are drawn in from the bones and elsewhere - to be handled in the same manner. So far my son has been off miralax exactly the same time he was on it --- and he still has oxalate dumping signs every few weeks. So the moral of the story is - your DAN is accurate but didn't give you the full scoop. He/She is probably aware of the LOD and the Vitamin K protocol. Ask his opinion about them two protocols next time you visit and a more thorough explanation of 'acidic'.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Jennie, We haven't ever had a problem with mag citrate and acidic stools. One of the reasons I have been aiming to try to get back on mag citrate from mag malate is for the reason stated below - the citrate does a much better job breaking down oxalates. Now that we have readdressed the yeast issue, the kids seem to be tolerating citrate. Plus, I have def. noticed a HUGE difference in stool quality with citrate vs. malate. The mag malate made the stool consistency more fibrous looking, and I noticed more undigested food. With the citrate, the consistency is much more the way it should be - more uniform and soft mud like texture. Oh, I forgot to mention in my original posting where we found out my daughter is not absorbing the magnesium, that she does a nightly epsom salt soak (3 cups) as well!! Let's hope the vit D helps - never thought we would have this particular issue!!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi , Yes, we have chelated because she had high amounts of lead and mercury. We brought the mercury down into range, but stopped before we got lead to an acceptable range. The chelating did not go well (yeast reared it's ugly head), and we stopped just as our DAN was suspecting oxalate problems, which led us down a whole other path. Now, a year later, I think we are finally on our way - the gut seems to be healing and food and supp intolerances are really improving. Finishing the chelation for lead is something I'm sure we will come back to, but right now her doctor is pursuing testing on her thyroid and adrenals (she has had low temps, some numbers out of range on previous thyroid testing and low DHEA levels). It is always something!! Re: Magnesium Hi ,Have you had your daughter checked for metal toxicity? Onesymptom/sign of mercury toxicity (perhaps other metals, also?) is theinability to properly absorb/utilize minerals such as magnesium.I believe the reason my son requires so much daily magnesium (about400mg) is his mercury levels, which we are going to be addressing soon.> > & gt;> > & gt; Hi all,> > & gt; & nbsp;> > & gt; I know in the past we have had discussions about using > magnesium > > for constipation and whether it & nbsp;can be toxic. & nbsp; As I have > posted in > > the past, my kids do well taking approx. 675mg /day (down from > > 875mg/day when they were solely on mag malate) - a mix of mag > malate > > and mag citrate now that they seem to be tolerating citrate > better. & nbsp; > > Well, here is the irony of the situation - my DAN ordered a > > Spectracell test on my daughter to look at exactly what was being > > utilized in the blood cell after 2 OAT tests came back saying she > was > > deficient in B6 and B12 (despite supplementing those). & nbsp; To our > > surprise, the Spectracell test revealed she was deficient in > > magnesium!!! & nbsp; My DAN's reasoning is that the magnesium is > staying in > > the gut and being used as an osmotic effect and is not getting > > absorbed. & nbsp; Thus, he wants to try her on Vit D to help the > magnesium > > absorb better.> > & gt; & nbsp;> > & gt; While I know every kid is different, I just thought I would > pass > > our experience with this on.> > & gt; & nbsp;> > & gt; V.> > & gt;> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm going to chime in here... you know, with all of the recalls of children's items that are contaminated with LEAD, I must say that I do suspect that some of these kids constipation issues could very well be related to heavy metal exposures. I just read the other day about a recall of children's pajamas from The Children's Place store, because the screen print logo on the shirt, contained lead! I then read that this is not all that uncommon--that a lot of screen printed clothing will contain lead. This is really upsetting to continue to read about item after item, being contaminated with lead. Lead exposure will result in constipation for some, and diarrhea for others. My son's constipation issues did improve after we did some chelation for a while, perhaps we got " the lead out " . > > Hi , > Yes, we have chelated because she had high amounts of lead and mercury.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thought the following might add to the discussion about Magnesium and be of interest to folks here. Mara Magnesium and Sudden Death by Cardiac Arrest _http://naturalallopathiccardiology.com/cms/index.php? option=com_content & vie w=article & id=112 & Itemid=149_ (http://naturalallopathiccardiology.com/cms/index.php? option=com_content & view=article & id=112 & Itemid=149) Due to lack of magnesium the heart muscle can develop a spasm or cramp and stops beating. Most people, including doctors, don’t know it but without sufficient magnesium we will die. It is more than helpful to understand that our life span will be reduced if we run too long without sufficient magnesium in our cells and that the principle way our life is cut short is through cardiac arrest. Yet when someone dies of a heart attack people never say “ He died from Magnesium Deficiency.” Allopathic medicine is designed from the bottom up which means it ignores the true causes of death and disease. In the field of cardiology this is telling! Magnesium deficiency appears to have caused eight million sudden coronary deaths in America during the period 1940-1994.[ii] Mason It is established that clinically significant changes in a number of electrolytes occur in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Magnesium ions are an essential requirement for many enzyme systems, and clearly magnesium deficiency is a major risk factor for survival of CHF patients. In animal experiments, magnesium has been shown to be involved in several steps of the atherosclerotic process as well as magnesium ions playing an extremely important role in CHF and various cardiac arrhythmias. Magnesium is an important protective factor for death from acute myocardial infarction.[iii] Dr. Durlach[iv] explains that the body has numerous compensatory mechanisms that allow magnesium deficiency to go undetected which leads to the development of what he calls " latent nervous system hyperexcitability. " In other words, a patient will already be deficient in magnesium prior to the development of symptoms. Too often the first clear sign of deficiency is cardiac arrest and death. Forty percent of all first heart attacks end in death! A ten-year study of 2,182 men in Wales found that those eating magnesium-low diets had a 50% higher risk of sudden death from heart attacks than those eating one-third more magnesium. Also, high magnesium eaters were only half as likely to have any type of cardiovascular incident such as non-fatal heart attacks, strokes, angina (chest pain) or heart surgery.[v] In 2003, a follow-up study of these same patients revealed an enduring effect of magnesium treatment. Nearly twice as many patients in the standard treatment group had died compared to those who received magnesium, and there were considerably more cases of heart failure and impaired heart function in the placebo group. In addition to increasing survival after heart attack, IV magnesium also smoothes out arrhythmias and improves outcomes in patients undergoing angioplasty with stent placement. It is also beneficial for acute asthma attacks, often working to relax airway spasms when drugs do not. Magnesium supplementation is crucial for diabetics, too, because it improves insulin sensitivity, helps blood sugar control, and reduces risk of retinopathy. Therapy with magnesium is rapid acting, has a safe toxic-therapeutic ratio and is easy to administer and titrate.[vi] Magnesium is economical, widely available and has a long established safety and tolerability profile in myocardial infarction. Magnesium chloride has the advantage of being administered intravenously, intramuscularly, and orally. It can also be vaporized through a nebulizer as well as a lotion transdermally. In anesthesia and intensive care, the preferred administration route is IV. Magnesium ions cross the intact blood-brain barrier efficaciously so that intravenous magnesium significantly raises cerebrospinal fluid and brain extracellular fluid magnesium levels quickly. In the 90’s cardiovascular biologist Dr. Burton M. Altura of the State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn witnessed a therapeutic benefit of magnesium in acute symptoms, such as headache pain. Altura administered a solution containing 1 gram of magnesium sulfate intravenously to 40 patients who visited a headache clinic in the throes of moderate to severe pain. They treated not only migraine sufferers but also persons with cluster headaches and chronic daily headaches. Within 15 minutes, 32 of the men and women—80 percent—experienced relief. Though the headache may not have vanished, the pain lessened by at least 50 percent. In 18 of these individuals, the pain relief lasted at least 24 hours. Blood tests before treatment confirmed that all but four in this latter group had ionized magnesium concentrations that were lower than the average in a related group of pain free individuals. " All nine patients with cluster headaches had their acute headache aborted by magnesium therapy. " Migraine sufferers who responded to the treatment experienced a complete alleviation of their current symptoms, including sensitivity to lights and sound. Subsequent studies of additional migraine patients have confirmed a common pattern. Altura says. " Those patients where ionized magnesium in the brain or blood is low will respond to intravenous magnesium very quickly and dramatically. " The following chapter introduces transdermal medicine, an extraordinary method of magnesium application that has not been studied by allopathic medical science. This chapter focuses on western medicine’s experience with intravenous magnesium infusions and injections. Doctors need to learn about and use the wide spectrum of administration routes to harness the full medicinal power of magnesium. Heart palpitations, " flutters " or racing heart, otherwise called arrhythmias, usually clear up quite dramatically on 500 milligrams of magnesium citrate (or aspartate) once or twice daily or faster if given intravenously. Dr. H. Ray Evers Magnesium has minimal side effects in usual therapeutic doses and has a large therapeutic index. The timing and doses of magnesium are critical especially in cases of stroke or heart failure. The Fast-Mag (Field Administration of Stroke Therapy – Magnesium (FAST-MAG) trials are being carried out in Los Angeles to show the beneficial effects of early magnesium administration by paramedics when stroke first occurs. Each year in the US, over 750,000 Americans suffer a symptomatic stroke. Magnesium chloride is first aid for the heart. More than 4 out of 5 strokes are due to ischemic infarction. The FAST-MAG trial was designed to address the crucial factor of delayed time to treatment, which has hindered past human clinical trials of neuroprotective drugs. Animal studies suggest the duration of the therapeutic window is very brief, generally less than 2-3 hours. Most animal studies of neuroprotective agents initiate therapy within 1-60 minutes after ischemia onset. Because magnesium medicine is poorly understood by western medicine it is rarely used early enough or often enough to benefit from its full potential to save lives or reduce suffering among cardiac or stroke patients. Cardiac arrhythmias and coronary artery vasospasm can be caused by magnesium deficiency and intravenous magnesium reduces the risk of arrhythmia and death immediately after acute myocardial infarction.[vii] Mark Sircus Ac., OMD Director International Medical Veritas Association _http://publications.imva.info_ (http://publications.imva.info/) Email: _director@..._ (mailto:directordirector@...)

Since then there have been numerous double-blind studies showing that magnesium is beneficial for many types of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, ventricular premature contractions, ventricular tachycardia, and severe ventricular arrhythmias.

'... important for nerve conduction, muscle contraction, blood vessel relaxation and tensing and thus blood pressure, and a normal heart beat. Epidemiological findings & supplementation trials show that people's magnesium status is associated with the severity and frequency of migraine headaches, some forms of heart attacks, high blood pressure, sleep disorders and mood disturbances.' 'In a much more severe form, some of these changes in heart rhythm or beat can result in heart muscle contractions that do not move blood throughout the body and lead to death. So magnesium is definitely needed for a healthy.' 'Studies show that about half of migraine headache sufferers have a low amount of ionized magnesium in the blood, which suggests a low magnesium status.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 My friend's mom was in ICU for several weeks touch and go.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I once read that on average, a doctor only studies nutrition less than one semester of the 8 yrs of school they attend. How sad is that, considering we are what we eat? My friend's mom was in ICU for several weeks touch and go. Her so callied cardiologist dismissed her finally one morning and she was back to the ER in critical condition that same afternoon. An ER doc who grew up here and was just out of med school discovered a Mg deficiency and fixed her right up. The cardiologist had. never tested her Mg.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 If you replace " money " for " medicine " , then the vocation becomes: " The Practice of Money " and the curriculum makes perfect sense. You absolutely do not want to prevent the money stream from flowing. Instead you need to learn to build spillways to " nurse the stream along " with lots of catch basins so you can harvest as much of the stream as possible as long as possible until the stream runs completely dry. If you forget all about the idea that the practice of medicine is about curing disease, then big Medicine and big Pharma make big sense and generate a lot of cents, dollars and billions of dollars in keeping the stream going as long as possible.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hello, All, Just a word about magnesium. I have been using magnesium chloride on my skin, in areas that need deep healing due to disease progression. It does make them feel better. Within the last few weeks, while using topical magnesium, I continued to take Magnesium Lactate, recommended dose. During this time my kidneys were showing that they were taking a hit on lab results. I have read that magnesium should be taken with care if kidneys are compromised, but I did not realize it could cause a problem if they were not in distress. Today, kinesiologist evaluated my current supplements and one prescription drug that I have just begun to take, and he immediately found the culprit, magnesium lactate, which was affecting right kidney and causing discomfort and other problems. The left kidney was bothered by casein in cottage cheese, but he was able to clear that and said not necessary to discontinue that food item. Be careful about taking supplements. Two MDs and one ND were unable to identify the reason for my kidney stresses. Cathie Re: Re: Magnesium Great info, Mara. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Kinesiology will always tell you precisely what type of Magnesium you need to take, right down to the manufacturer and make - only if they are set up to do this - my alt doctor who used a type of kinesiology told us precisely which type of Magnesium our bodies needed and could tolerate and which dose - that's what you need to know - as well as knowing what DOESN " T agree with you Best.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 OK, aside from mag oil, which I'm using topically, and K-Mag-Kg which I'm taking internally and which helps detox, what, generally, is the best form of mag. supplement for most Lymies? I'm going to an out-of- town natural food store tomorrow, and would like to get the best, as I've been taking what my local pharmacy has (magnesium oxide).

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 It's an individual thing, could be different for you than someone else. Without consulting with a kinesiologist, who is sometimes also a chiropractor, I don't know. The alt. medical facility would need to have various forms of the supplement available, or you could purchase several and hope you got one that's the best, return what did not seem to work for you and also recommend the best dosage. Of course if you eat a lot of foods containing mag. beforehand and that changes, your need could flux. Cathie Re: Re: Magnesium OK, aside from mag oil, which I'm using topically, and K-Mag-Kg which I'm taking internally and which helps detox, what, generally, is the best form of mag. supplement for most Lymies? I'm going to an out-of- town natural food store tomorrow, and would like to get the best, as I've been taking what my local pharmacy has (magnesium oxide).

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Although I muscle test myself, I don't completely trust my ability in this regard. If you don't have a good kinesiologist, here is a general guideline. Mag. Citrate is absorbed much better than mag oxide. That's what I usually take. Mag Glycinate usually is easier on the bowels than other forms of Mag. For fibro I have read that Mag Malate is often used. I have chronic lyme too and, it is my understanding, that folks with lyme need much more magnesium. I have found that to be true for myself. I dose to bowel tolerance and find that both helps with the muscle cramping and regulates the bowels. Mag oil is well absorbed and, if you don't mind the sticky feeling and do it often enough, you may not need to take anything else.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Have read that magnesium citrate is most easily absorbed. Mag oxide is usually cheaper, but not as much magnesium will be absorbed by body. My wife takes it to offset restless leg syndrome. It works quite well for that in her case. I take one at bedtime just for general heart health and all, but it is also an excellent stool softner to help keep one regular. (You will soon know if you are taking too much.) OK, aside from mag oil, which I'm using topically, and K-Mag-Kg which I'm taking internally and which helps detox, what, generally, is the best form of mag. supplement for most Lymies? I'm going to an out-of- town natural food store tomorrow, and would like to get the best, as I've been taking what my local pharmacy has (magnesium oxide).

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 What are the doses that are common in Lymes Mara? Just curious what range they are in, as I do realize it is individual.
