? Magnesium: too little info Re: [BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAu

[Guest guest]

From what I have read, topical magnesium is the magnesium of choice, as

long as it's a good brand (without too much junk). Some docs say to

use magnesium; some are against it. Many are very deficient in

magnesium, which reportedly causes a lot of symptoms and the body to not

work correctly -- which will strain the immune system. Others say that

it feeds Lyme and builds biofilms. I use to have to take it, topically

or orally, or I felt quite ill. We have mostly supplemented it

throughout our journey. I don't think one form feeds it more than the

other forms. I have heard different preferences about various forms,

obviously no one recommends the stearate form. I can not say that we

have liked one form over the other. I did like the magnesium sulphate

cream, and then switched to magnesium malate, mostly for convenience.

Dr. K has some reports about it. I think that looking at the whole

treatment plan by the particular health practitioner is important when

deciding to supplement or not. I feel uncomfortable allowing children

to continue to be deficient in anything, since their bodies need

nutrition to grow and develop. My kids tested low in it, and we

supplemented it along with calcium and other nutrients typically seen to

be deficient in our special needs children.

Love and prayers,

What scientific or direct experiential data report that mag., and what

specific

form of mag., feeds LD? Is this related to the rumor that magnesium

stearate

as a filler/binder supposedly helps to build biofilm? Mag. maleate is a

great

muscle relaxant in Fibro/CFIDS. It is essential for cell metabolism. Would

love to see this confusion cleared up. Please, experienced people,

report in.

I am in full agreement w/Heidi....this should be very individual & our childrens

growth needs should be foremost when developing a supplement plan for them.

Magnesuim has been a standard in our protocols for years & our very good docs

have used multiple ways of getting it in him. He is currently on Magnesium

Glycinate, has long term use of Epsom Salt baths (see enzymestuff.com which has

good info on this including sprays to use after summertime park play chlorine

exposure...Very Important!). One of our docs is using a topical Spray which is

one of her current fav's.
