MAG Re: reecente Improuementf in my Natural Knowledge

[Guest guest]

I wonder if you might really have an absorption problem, Nelly?

You might recall I had instantaneous correction of muscle

fasciculations (twitches) with IV " Meyer's drip " (which contains Mg),

but I had never noticed an effect on the twitching from taking oral

Mg. Unfortunately, I don't remember for certain what form the oral Mg

was, or whether I took it with food, etc.

I went over that in detail in message #7908. I also commented on a few

abstracts on Mg deficiency in CFS (the literature is inconclusive.

In Eby/Eby's paper, found at

http://george-eby-research.com/html/magnesium-for-depression.pdf

reference 16 (Shealy et al) is supposed to have info on a scheme for

skin absorption of Mg. The link there to Shealy is broken. However I

tracked down the uptdated URL which is

http://george-eby-research.com/html/shealy13.html

Unfortunately I didn't see anything in the Shealy about transdermal

Mg. I did go through it really rapidly - coulda missed it.

doses would be expected to have minimal laxative effect. Apparently

simple magnesium compounds are laxative in inverse proportion to their

solubility, from this mag chloride would appear to be the best (all

magnesium compounds equilibrate as chlorides in the stomach anyway).
