Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Mag plays very important roles in body.. its a co factor in the methylation cycle. It can help with inflammatory reactions as well.. detox capibillity (which can play back to its role in methylation)so much more.. very very important. Important for nervous system and deficiency can cause prblems with nerves.. shakes, tremors... When you use it to help elimination, it is also probably being eliminated. Citrate is good for this. For absorption, glycinate and malate as well as chloride are better. For some, only transdermal or IVs an restore mag to the body. Robin > > Really? What kind of benefits are you looking for from magnesium? I use it to stay regular and without it I cannot eliminate easily. I have always had an IBS problem that is worse now with the MCS.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think this is how it goes. The hotter the water the more you draw toxins out. You will absorb more of the mag at warmer water levels. The mag sulfate in Epsoms can relax the nervouse system more so than the mag chloride flakes, which are more for supplementation transdermally. The sulfur in the mag sulfate can be bothersome to some with sulfur issues.. some benefit from the xtra sulfur while others, it causes a problem. The swansons brand of mag cbloride flakes seems to come from the same source as the ancient minerals which cost much more. I would love more info from swansons directly addresssing this. They are claiming the same source... much cheaper. I started ahving these crazy creepy feelings in my nerves that glut and methyl b12 have addressed in the past. Going to try the mag oil spray and see if it helps. Thanks for all the great info/links Mayleen!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Kathy: If you get out of an epsom salt bath before the bath water has completely cooled down, you will feel tired and heavy as the toxins are released as the hot water cools.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yes, I had a sleep test years ago. Non-restorative sleep (diminished stage 4, the restorative part of the sleep cycle) and primary insomnia (unable to fall asleep) has been a problem for me for over a decade. The test confirmed both. In actuality, i have too little stage 4 because i soend too much time in REM. The most effective treatment for me is Trazodone, but when I have to increase it, it gives me a hangover. Better than not sleeping, though.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I have a CBS uregulation. I think there are two diff ones and mine is hetergenous and the milder one. But I try to keep sulfur in mind. So far my labs have shown I need sulfur. SO many questions.. The CBS does not allow much B6 as well, but we have pylolurria here which calls for lots of B6.. its crazy trying to put al this together. My kids have needed close to 100 mg of p5p to start having any dream recall at all.. which is associate with b6. But my daughter is CBS upregulated and NOS positive. It can make you crazy when diff conditions, protocols call for diff things. Then there is the hydrogen sulfide issue that some CFSers have. Whats the avoid vs need protocol?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 By the 'avoid vs need protocol' I meant avoid sulphur & ammonia causing things (high protein) & 'need' certain supplements - need methyl groups, lots of B12 & etc. One of the first things that helped my chemical/mold freakouts (for lack of a better word) was P5P & zinc 2 X a day as per Dr Carl Pfeiffer in Nutrition & Mental Illness. I don't take it every day anymore mostly because I'm overwhelmed with what I have to do to get settled here & also to save money. Someone told me recently about his being low in sulphur & he wondered if it was that the sulphur just wasn't doing what is is supposed to do or that it was being used up from being a stand-in for what was really lacking. He can't wait to get his M cycle results back ! As far as CBS not tolerating B6 ...they aren't clear enough on the reasoning behind it. My body lets me know - a twinge of carpal tunnel . oops haven't taken my B6 in awhile, 2 days later no carpal tunnel. Being sensitive has it's good points - the right treatments works like a charm. I was sure I had pyluria (sp) but didn't show on the test. They said take it while under stress - I was always under stress on the road but who knows - maybe my body adjusted to show a false negative. > > I have a CBS uregulation.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Interesting about the carpal tunnel.. someone posted on the pyloluria board (HPU/KPU) that if you cannot bend our index finger to touch your hand that could be a sign of b6 deficiency.. I dont know but thats interesting about the CT and b6. We are going by dreams and I kept ramping up and finally my son started remembering having dreams at around 100mg of p5p... Dr Amy prefers you take what you need and avoid the rest.. priorotize.. I think thats what you are saying. Like take same-e and hydroxy if you are comt++ .. priotitize your methyl groups. Save the methl group for tumeric for inflammation, and for for the methyl b12 or another methyl donor that mght not be so relevant to you. Lots of brain work. Im confused about the CBS and the NOS. My daughter is NOS++.. the science points to I think DHA in omega 3 or just omega 3 in general not other lipids but dr A. advices against all lipids. Our MD wants to dun a nutreval panel from genova that is very broad sweping including an evaluation of essential fats.. it will be good to see whtas going on there. We all have sandpaper hands in winter.. I have a feeling this nis tied to fungus though. ANyway.. the CBS,NOS mutations confuse me the most. I know some people, parents who ahve been doing this for years, lyme and austism.. and they get to the point where you have to go by reactions and put pieces together because there is no hard fast rule. We just dont understand all the biology. I am alternating as dr a says with the Omega 6 and 3 with my kids.. and I am taking 1:1 ratio. They also get 1:1 but alternating days, half teh dose I get. I think alot of us have pyloluria.. both my kids do and my test was mishandled so dont trust the results. the test is very fragile and they let it sit for weeks before shipping to netherlands. I also have been on high dose b6 p5p and zinc for a while so I was sooner to repsond. The kids... it has realy surprised me how much p5p they have needed. I see Myhill and others address KPU in their protocols without specifically referring to it. Dr K thinks KPU is central to HLA expression. this is his opinion though and I have no clue what he bases it on. I read in Pat Sullivans blog that dr Shoe said that peopel who come in who take 30 supps are better off than people who are not. There have to be other factors at play.. methylation, kpu, addressing inflammation, mag, b12 deficiencies, whether the mold illness or lyme or whatever creates it, it becomes part of the cycle that has to be broken.. ?? I wish there was a simple inexpensive test to monitor ammonia and sulfur. I go by headaches for sulfur and burning in my brain for ammonia and not sure how accurate. When I have the burning in brain, I take citrulline. Of course I am not well, so..

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I don't have the NOS except for the effect the excess ammomia has on it. I think the CBS is the most straightforward. I have a ++ & a +-. The latter is the 699 (Autism) - explains why I'm mentally handicapped around chems. Also explains this bizarrre symptom I used to get - the best way to describe it is I know exactly how it feels inside when an Autistic child goes into one of those fits. It's much worse on the inside than it appears. Worth living in a vehicle for 5 years. I can't tell if my sulphur ever goes up. Broccoli used to make me cry & then give me terrible heartburn. As far as ammonia I might be drawing the wrong conclusion here but it works.... if I have a problem but then I become obsessed, intensely worried & sleepless & stuff after awhile I realize it NOT the problem freaking me out it's a chemical imbalance. Twice something made me think ornithine was called for & in 20 minutes I was still upset from the problem but not consumed by it. Made me think ammonia was the culprit. I take Nordic Naturals 3,6,9 but not alot. It's so complicated. Kane PhD (610) 924-0600 did work on mental patients & recommends the Body Bio fatty acid lab analysis (888) 320-8338 She thinks it's critical to have the labs before taking them. Lots of studies show a correlation with mental patients & arachidonic acid (sp). It would be great to afford weekly tests of everything. I keep saying one day you'll be able to stick your finger in some device & get a read-out of what you need all day long. I forgot about the dreams & P5P. Uh,oh, I AM low in P5P. I read low B6 also makes you intolerant of MSG & glutamine. Isn't there a urine test for sulphur? The M-cycle test in Feb 09 was my last hurrah. I haven't done tests I have to pay for since then. Not that I spent alot on my health (besides supplements) but money was running out. That test & the protocol has helped me the most - feels like it's as good as it gets. Nothing else could explain the tolerance I had last summer except, & this is VERY weird, that I am in my " astological good zone " . I'm serious, out of desparation I had a consult & NoCal was it. So here I am. The only other bigee was removing the last of my root canals in 2007. Has Dr A's advice turned you around like it did me? To me it feels like it's the bottom line of it all. > > Interesting about the carpal tunnel.. someone posted on the pyloluria board (HPU/KPU) that if you cannot bend our index finger to touch your hand that could be a sign of b6 deficiency..

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ive relapsed a bit here.. stress, the methl b12 shots and teh herbs I was taking.. should have known better not to push it.. too wiped out to find my files and look up.. I have the less troublesome CBS upgregulation +-.. you sure were hit hard there.. I can see you ahving issues.. I can also see knowing how an autistic chlid feels.. Ive felt that way sometimes and sometimes coudl correct with supplements. Ive woken up in the middle of the night flapping my arms. I did some work on ammonia and I think that helped. I take bh4 and add in citrulline when my brain burns.. I dont think i have sulfur issues, but who knows.. thought about taking the hydrogen sulfide test.. its cheap and urine. then there re sulfite or sulfate strips and I cant figure out which ones to use. I think its teh gaba glutamate thing that gete the hands flapping.. I think someone just postd tha mag helps gaba.. ive taken gaba and my md perfers sun theanine.. then clonapin is supposed to help with but addcitive. I do take half a mg a day. Do you have the suox issue which will make recycle or uptake of sulfur more diff? Sorry my typing is worse than usual.. arms are so weak. :-( Ill take note of your glutamate symptoms. dr a told me can also effect heart rhythm. The tests are so expensive adn to do the protocl " right " is so expensive. Then ot take the into and incoprorate it in a sane way is a process. Ill take citrulline since I have it here and see if it helps when I am going nuts.. only way ot know really.. I know ti has helped the burnding brain feeling. Ie read Kane stuff too.. so much info contradicts. dr A wants to protect the M cycle first and foremost.. but to what cost her way or addressing other things? I dont know. I give up! Intresting about the AAs and mental illness.. goes along with pylolurria. Genova has a nutreval test that surprisingly my insurance covered all but 170$ of.. it has AA, MAP, UTEE, and fatty acids tests, oxidatoin, etc.. not sure how it compares to kane's test but looked pretty extensive with the essential oil breakddown. I just had the blood draw and turned in urine today. I dont know how the moms of autistic kids doing the program keep up. weekly tests for some of them. i wish there was a finger prick self home test or something of the sort. It is nice to see teh graphs people make of thier kids progress.. easy to see when you do tests weekly and monthly. Good to be able to see progress and tweak along the way. But so expensive. My husband has lyme and a " dreaded " but he is ok so I know there is more t it that lyme and mold and " dreadeds " .. somthing else is also gonig on or its the total body burden wipe out which will them trigger off every genetic defect and body weakness that exist. There is also a healing factor X in the body as there is a illness factor X. Ive seen this several times.. know of people this has happened to. Its all very mysterious.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks . They are made out of all kinds of grasses, leaves and berries. Some of the ingredients are; barley grass, fennel seed, calendula flowers, lavendar, saffron, honeysuckle, cardoman, etc. They do also contain vegetable cellulose (I dont know exactly what that is) and they are certified organic. I do love the bottle they came in, it is a lovely size glass bottle. I will use it for something else later on after they are gone. Wait, I found a link, this is them right here. I won't buy them again though, first of all because they are too expensive and second of all, they taste too green for me. http://www.mynaturalmarket.com/Pure-Synergy-Organic-Vita-Min-Herb-Multi-for-Women.html?osCsid=39a85f27a3a7084a36884dd52f9a2f15 I guess I will just finish them up and not use them anymore.

My best suggestion would be to use up the bottle that you have, then learn to make your OWN " vitamins " using whole foods in the Vitamix!
