a positive controlled trial of IM Mag - Re: Magnesium-

[Guest guest]

Yeah, was The Most

Determined Person In the History of the World ... I doubt most would be

able to keep that up. I couldn't have. Also she was in so much

constant body-wide pain that she probably just didn't notice that her

butt was complaining. But her system seemed to be desperate for Mag

for some reason and it was the only way to get enough of it into her

system. We tried IVs but her veins couldn't handle it on an ongoing

basis. Got a really nasty and painful vasculitis going. Worse than IM

shots in her case.

Boy, doing a magnesium shot daily would get old. Ouch. I don't know

the difference between Lidocaine and Procaine. Will have to look that

up. I also do the Epsom Salt baths. They help but not as much as the

injections.

I have not tried the Magnesium Chloride. We talked about trying that

with my son because he tends to be sensitive to sulfates. But we

never did try it.

I just know that it makes a major difference for me.

I haven't studied but you like to . What heavy metals displace

magnesium? We are heavy metal poisoned in this society. Esp lead and

mercury sometimes arsenic. I mean, they feed arsenic to the chickens

to fatten them up.

Then certain infections may use magnesium, or maybe mitochondrial

downregulation, you require more magnesium.
