Re: natural calm

as i look more into the idea of magnesium supplementation, i am running across conflicting information.for instance, the kids multi natural calm lists that 240mg of Mg is 60% of the RDA.  webmd  says the highest supplement dose for a kid is much less to avoid toxicity.  is natural calm using the adult rda on a kids product?

webmd link: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/supplement-guide-magnesiumkids multi link: http://naturalvitality.com/natural-kids-calm-multi/

this is a group concerned with toxicities and appropriate therapy, so i'm curious how that slips by as ok?also, what's the thought behind natural calm as a constipation remedy?  if it's supposed to work osmotically (essentially like milk of magnesia), then why use such a soluble supplement where the magnesium is so easily absorbed?  that should only lead to decreased mag in the colon, increased absorption, potential toxicity, and a decreased in the potential laxative effect.

Yesterday I requested a test for my sons pediatrician to check his levels of magnesium to see if he needs a mag suppand if so how much. To: miralax Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 8:45 AM Subject: re: natural calm

Morning,Just a quick FYI everyone. I had my son on Calm magnesium. If you are severely constipated and the magnesium is not working shortly after giving it to your child...be careful. My sons magnesium levels shot through the roof and we ended up in the ICU...only part of the problem why we ended up there!

Please don't let Steph's son's reaction scare you -- as he said, his son had

other problems. Magnesium is a natural element and overdosing is rare. Just

like the shortage of Vitamin D didn't get noticed until just lately, most of us

are low in magnesium as well. Magnesium Citrate was used as bowel prep for

years until prescription GoLytley (= liquid PEG) came on the market. In most

cases it is very safe and Natural Calm is one thing that can help. NOTE!! It's

just one of the things to change in your child's protocol. Try diet changes

too.

Just a quick reply--I don't know the answer to your RDA question, but wasn't Natural Calm developed to help children with mood issues related to magnesium deficiencies? It IS helpful for constipation but wasn't developed for that purpose (otherwise it would be called Natural Regularity or something), unless I'm misunderstanding -- so that's why it has a more soluble form. However, since so many of us and our kids are mag-deficient anyway, it might help with constipation not only by acting as an osmotic but also by improving the general functioning of the nervous system (which requires the correct balance of magnesium, calcium and several other minerals to operate efficiently).

2-14-11 Alex barely made it into the ER before going into cardiac arrest. We are thankful to the St. Frances ER for stabilizing Alex after 18 minutes of CPR. He was then rushed to [ATTACH=CONFIG]168[/ATTACH]Hospital and operated on with us being told he may not make it.

2-17-11 Alex was then operated on 2 days later...also pulling through surgery. He is my tough cookie! During the surgery they had to remove Alex's entire colon and appendex.His blood preasure has been extremely low and recently stabilized on 2-18.

He has a couple more surgurys to undergo before we know what the outcome will be and to determine him mentally.

Alex has made it through the toughest part and on his way to a healthy recovery. Any support from friends and family offering to provide the occasional dinner, picking up and watching the twins for a couple hours after school and weekend playdates for the twins would be the most helpful.

Alex would appreciate any fun home videos wishing him well for when he wakes up or home made posters. Alex is one of the toughest kids a person will know. Not only did he play 2 basketball games...getting sat on at the first game putting him in pain...and still wanting to finish of the second tournament and helping a player up from the other team that had fell down. He is an original little boy with a heart of gold. He went to school on Monday "Valentines Day" just to be with his friends. Alex held out on starting to feel sick until he came home from school that day. He is a true fighter!
