Re: Lethal Lee! magnesium gel ....

[Guest guest]

Your itching is because you are a new user! You need to dilute the magnesium

oil, and use it a little less frequent to begin with. I have read that some

people dilute the oil with water in a spray bottle. I just slap a little water

on my skin before I spray the oil. Also, don't use it on your more delicate

areas to begin with, like stomach, inner thighs, etc. Choose instead areas that

are exposed to sun and air, and a little tougher.

The stinging will go away with use.

Thanks Ann,

It's not just stinging though, it's ALSO itching. The stinging is certainly

irritating, but the itching is a whole other thing that is almost intolerable,

like having 1200 mosquito bites all over. I'm using it on my legs or arms.

thanks for the insight though... i will try and see how it goes with water

before. i am using gel by the way, not oil, so i am not sure how i can dilute

that?

thanks

Hi ,

I've never used the Gel but did have some stinging initially when using the Mag

Oil. Overcame by diluting with distilled water started with only 25% Mag Oil &

gradually got to 100%.

However don't know how you would do that with a Gel.

I looked up the ingredients

http://www.ancient-minerals.com/#gel_plus

NGREDIENTS: Purified water,

Genuine Zechstein™ magnesium chloride (and other naturally occurring trace

minerals),

hydroxypropyl starch phosphate,

certified organic ACTIValoe®,

xanthan gum

Note the statement....

" Please note that this magnesium gel is unique in that is not designed to be

fully absorbed into the skin. Consult our magnesium gel application guide for

details on product usage "

Is it possible you are reacting to the Aloe Vera or the other ingredients? Have

you tried Aloe Vera Gel before & were you OK with it?

Possibly you could buy some plain Aloe Vera & mix it with some of the Meg Gel to

dilute it?

Or maybe buy the Ancient Minerals Mag Oil in spray bottle & try that diluted

with some Distilled Water if necessary. Perhaps once you get used to the Mag Oil

& build to 100% strength you may be able to tolerate the Gel better too? Then it

wouldn't be wasted?

L.Lee, I was wondering the same thing...it this a reaction to the Magnesium or

to the ingredients that make it " Gel " ? I've had better results, generally, with

" non-gel " form products, I think the gelling ingredients probably don't agree

with me.

Hi ,

I find the oil (haven't tried the gel) pretty itchy as well so I switched over

to using it in a foot bath for 20 minutes every few days. i would imagine you

could disolve the gel in the water. You have to use a larger qty of oil for the

foot baths, but you sound really uncomfortable so it might be worth trying?

Not sure if anyone listens to the Paleolithic Solution podcast, but Robb Wolf

has a pretty amazing grasp of all things physiological and he is skeptical at

best about whether magnesium can be absorbed through the skin this way. He is a

big proponent of Natural Calm (oral) and asked the makers for pharmacokinetic

data on the gel product and got no response. So, if you want to be sure of

getting your magnesium, the Natural Calm may be a better option (no, I'm not

affiliated and in fact have just been taking Costco mag supplements). Would

love it if a gel worked, though - so sick of all the supps I have to take. (-:

I have been using Magnesium oil for 5 weeks and next week I get it tested. I will be real interested to see if it has made a difference. What IS Natural Calm? I cannot handle even 200 mg of mag. pills which is why I went to the oil...I hope it makes a difference because I was below range.VeniziaSubject: Re: Lethal Lee! magnesium gel ....To: RT3_T3 Date: Thursday, August 26, 2010, 7:56 PM

The jury is still out for me on the magnesium oil, but I am trying it right now.

I do feel better when I use it. Gillam's Natural Calm is by the same

maker of Natural Vitality(magnesium and calcium supplement). I used to

subscribe to Consumer Lab https://www.consumerlab.com/index.asp and last year

Natural Vitality was rated as having a high level of contaminants in it. They

may have cleaned it up now and it may have been from the calcium in the

supplement and not the magnesium, but thought I would pass that along just in

case.

I will be doing labs in a couple months to also determine whether it's

affecting. But they did go up a tiny bit after using it only a few weeks. That's

not enough of a test, though.

I DO think it works, though. People have used epsom salts for ages so it must

get through the skin to relieve whatever they are soaking their body part for.

Also, many people can get rid of a headache by rubbing magnesium gel on their

back of neck, etc.

I never understood while Natural Calm is any better than other magnesium

citrate, which is all it is. It doesn't claim to have a smaller molecular weight

or something that any other magnesium citrate out there. Do yu have any info on

that per chance? I have always thought the best absorbed magnesium is Albion's

patented magnesium glycinate. It IS molecularly bound to glycine and small

enough to pass through the intestinal wall without having to ionize and attach

to an amino acid carrier. Although Margery said even that did not get her

magnesium levels up.

IVs work, too, if one can get them, or magnesium injections. There is a doc here

who does them for about $35 a pop but they hurt like HECK!!
