Re: Epsom Salt - be careful

[Guest guest]

How do you test it. Whereabouts do you buy yours from?

Be very careful where you buy your Epsom Salt. Only uses a trusted source. Almost all industrially harvested Epsom Salt contains mercury (which means that you are carrying in mercury and other impurities through the skin rather than taking it out – osmosis works both ways.) Many natural Epsom salts contain other random heavy metals in the crystalline structure. The only true way to know whether there is mercury in your Epsom salt is – unfortunately – by testing the batch.

I wouldn't recommend buying the cheaper Epsom Salts on Ebay. They are

sold from an alternative treatment facility but they are not BP grade.

The ones from Just a Soap are more expensive (marginally) but they are

the same manufacturer as the Ebay ones but the Just a Soap is BP grade

which is a better grade. (and less likely to be contaminated with

other toxins)

I've looked into the mercury connection and frankly, having your salts

tested for mercury is going a bit far for me! I think this one has

reached the proportions of urban myth...it started out slightly more

benign (being only ES in Australia contained mercury) then reached the

proportions that all ES were potential for mercury poisoning. You

follow these things for a while on the biomed lists and you can watch a

truth grow and expand....

>Fair comment Darla but it's worth checking that epsom salts are at

least pharmaceutical grade, you only have to google epsom salts

agricultural grade to see the potential harm from unscrupolous

sources,

and some people not many admittedly have been affected by

contamination not only in Australia but also in the U.S. which is

little comfort to those that have been affected.
