Re: magnesium chloride and reactions?

[Guest guest]

I've also been trying to google any kind of information on side effects and

haven't come up with anything negative at all. Everything I've read says

magnesium should be curing headaches. Hmmmm, I'll keep searching.

Thanks,

Judy

laid awake all night long, it seems like. I've reduced the sprays to about 4

squirts every other day, but I almost always get this headache. Could it be

detox or maybe I'm just not supposed to be doing this for some reason?

My best guess would be that the extra Mg is causing an electrolyte imbalance

- are you getting enough calcium, potassium and sodium?

Lana,

Hmmmm, I'm not sure. I drink (what I consider) lots of raw milk and raw kefir.

At least two tall glasses of the milk each day and a banana is in the kefir

shake each morning. I love my sea salt on lots of things. I also take a multi

vitamin every day along with FCLO. How can I tell about a shortage or imbalance

of these things? I tend to stay away from Dr.s and tests, I haven't been for

years and years, do I need a blood test?

Thanks so much for your reply!

2 tall glasses of milk is by no means a lot in my book (I used to drink a

half gallon a day). 16 oz gets you just a bit over the RDA for calcium,

which is far less calcium per day than natives consumed. Potassium wise,

that's 40% RDA, plus the 14% you'd get assuming your banana is large (8-8

7/8 " long). So that's 54% RDA potassium. How many glasses of kefir are you

drinking daily? Are you getting any other potassium foods?

You're getting a LOT of magnesium from the epsom/nigari salts - you'd

probably benefit from getting closer to the native intake of calcium, and

you need at least 100% RDA of potassium.

Okay... I just googled a quick list of potassium rich foods. :-) I'm getting the

banana (we try to get small ones because of the sugar) each morning in our 12

oz. of kefir shake. Potassium wise I also eat several oranges a week, once a day

usually cucumbers, peppers,spinich in our salad and several potatoes a week. Oh

yeah... we love tumeric in our house a lot! Maybe I'll try to increase my

potassium foods, along with adding more milk to my diet. And I think maybe I'd

better cut way down on the magnesium for now. This headache and weird feeling I

have today kind of makes me think I can't handle it. Or should I continue?

Thanks!

If it were me, I'd cut down on the magnesium for a week or so till I had

adequate calcium and potassium in my diet. Good luck!
