Re: constipation--oxypowder

June 28, 2006

This came up a couple of weeks ago. I went to their website.... very difficult

to come up with exactly what's in it. It takes a fair amount of searching around

to get to the list of ingredients... and then it's pretty vague.

For example, it has a SUPER HUGE MEGA dose of magnesium.... but does not tell

you which form of magnesium it is. For all we know, it might even be just

magnesium sulphate.... which is just epsom salts. You can use plain old epsom

salts from the drugstore as a laxative.... at a fraction of the price of

oxypowder.

I was uncomfortable with many of the claims on this website.... and although I

really could not verify whether it is SCD illegal or not, I personally wouldn't

touch it, or recommend it to anyone.

I just think that if anyone took that huge a dose of magnesium all at once, it

would certainly " clean them out " .... because it would have an extremely laxative

effect.

Aside from that, I am unfamiliar with germanium and would have to defer to

someone else who's done more research on what it is. The website makes elaborate

claims about it being pretty much good for anything that ails you.

It's also not cheap (although the form of magnesium they use probably is). Just

MHO.
