Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 One of the least expensive places to buy epsom salts is at Walmart. Just about any drugstore or grocery store carries it.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 In Australia, we buy our epsom salt at our local produce store (they sell horse/cattle saddlery stuff etc). We buy it in 10 kgs bags and have it in a bucket near our bath with a 1 cup scoop in, ready to use.) It is very inexpensive! Would anybody tell me how to get epsom salt? I looked the HFS near my home and could not find it. Ping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Most regular grocery stores also carry them, usually in the area with healthcare items. Usually in milk carton type containers and generally on the top or bottom shelf (it seems).

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 also, you can buy Epsom Salts at pharmacies and stores like Target and Walmart. It's less than $2 for a 1/2 gallon carton. They usually have it near the medical supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 I thought it was a wide range also. We started out with a half cup of epsom salts in the bath everyother day for a week. Then half cup everyday for a week. Then a full cup every day. Maybe we could have gone faster, but I like to try, see if there is a reaction, then increase. I'm not sure we will go to two cups. He is doing great on one cup per day. Change is incredible. Very calming. He is six now, but I wish someone had told me about this when he was 18 months and I couldn't keep up with him. He was extremely active with a very short attention span. Constantly doing things which could have hurt him, like climbing up the bookshelves, pulling out drawers on dresser and trying to climb up the drawers like steps. I had him in the back yard one day and turned around and he had climbed over the chain link fence into the neighbors yard and was scaling the fence to go into the next neighbors yard. (All this at eighteen months) Anyway, had we known about Epsom salts then, I think life would have been a little easier for all of us. Hope you have a similar effect.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 , Does Magnesium Sulfate cream work as well as epsom salt baths? Thank you, Re: [ ] Re: DMSA & TTFD Listmates, If your child has been one of Andy's estimated 20% who have had problems with TTFD, would you mind sharing more details with the rest of the group about what else was true of your child (good experiences, bad experiences with other supplements or treatments, or unusual lab reports)? Thiamine is, of course, a sulfur compound and a vitamin, so it falls into the territory of what we discuss on a different sort of internet list called sulfurstories which I set up almost a year ago. I would be delighted if some of you who have an interest in TTFD or other sulfur supplements might like to share your experiences with TTFD on sulfurstories. I think there is a chance that I have spotted the mechanism behind the increased excretion of metals with TTFD. I posted about that on abmd yesterday in a discussion with Dr. McCandless. The mechanism I found seems to make sense as a way to explain the data that the DAN! group has reported. If I am right, the thiamine in TTFD may not be acting as a chelating agent, but instead, it may be having some profound effects on trafficking issues...issues that have been documented in biological systems but would not happen in a test tube without certain types of cells present. PS. For those of you who haven't heard of the group called sulfurstories, it was not set up to be an autism list or a chelation list, so the purpose is very different from the list here. Sulfurstories is designed for those with any condition who want to learn more about how the sulfur system works and what happens when something about it goes wrong. We learn there from each other by discussing experiences with sulfur supplements and we try to correlate those observations with what has been learned in the literature.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 , I did a little experiment to see how much epsom salts was applied to the skin if you made a solution like I did for my father and applied it over the whole body as I did with him. It was many times greater a dose than in the typical dose of the cream, but of course, that could be adjusted by using more cream. We know nothing about how the cream part changes its absorption. Nobody has ever quantified how much gets in the blood how soon by any of the techniques, but I have heard rumored that Dr. Waring is working on that. I hope so!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I am in Germany where Epsom Salts is of course an unknown term, it being English in nature.

To answer your questions, my son does get 400mg of soluable magnesium citrate a day. I guess I should up his dose and see what happens. I also include epsom salt in his bath each night. He did not have a problem with constipation before the GF/CF diet. He ate lots of granola, cereal and wheat bread. When we started the diet he lost all the sources of fiber. He does receive a calcium supplement each day, also. He gets 1000mg of calcium carbonate & citrate. I will also try out the suggestions on the site for encopresis.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 RE: the itching-- had he soaped up earlier in the bath and then complained of the itching later on? What I find is that if the kids use soap early in the bath, it seems to get scummy and then sticks to their skin, or perhaps makes some of the not-quite-dissolved granules stick to their skin. So I just make sure they do not soap off until the end of the bath and then we have no itchy's.

If someone doesn't have a tub can soaking the feet in epsom salt water detoxify. I have read somewhere that detoxification can come out through the feet.

Hydrogen peroxide is more effective pulling out toxins through the feet (see the Hydrogen Peroxide File for how much to use), or you could use salt.
