Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I see several brands on the internet....what brand did you purchase?Thanks,Karin GUHDO USA Inc. 1135 JVL Court Marietta, GA 30066 770-592-4766 (phone) 770-592-1714 (fax) www.guhdo.com -----Original Message-----From: iodine [mailto:iodine ]On Behalf Of Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 10:16 AMiodine Subject: Magnesium Gel UpdateWell I got my magnesium gel 2 days ago. It appears to be working on atleast muscle soreness. I put some on my shoulders and within 30 min itwas like my whole body just sighed and relaxed. It did sting for a minor two. So far I like it. The manufacture states that after using itfor 6 weeks or so our bodies will then be able to better assimilateoral forms of magnesium. The next night I put some on my back, legs and arms and feet. It wasthe best night sleep I have had in ages and I did not wake up feelingstiff like I sometimes do.A small ammount of this stuff goes a long way. I think It took abouta quarter size to do the whole body treatment and about a dime size tojust do the back. So far it is a success. My partner's anxiety also disappeared when he uses it. So it isdoing something good there too. We are working on a natural way toheal his bi polar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I got my information from this site http://www.magnesiumforlife.com/productinformation.shtml I ended up buying their brand Essence of Life. I did not buy it from their site. I found a distributor on ebay that was selling it for 18.00 instead of the 22.00 that the main site was charging. The seller was closer to me than the main site also( I think) and I got my gel in about 2 days. If you do a search on ebay for magnesium gel it should pop up. I did alot of research on Magnesium and assimulation. This was the best way I could find without getting stuck with a needle. I also found this great article: http://web.mit.edu/london/www/magnesium.html It really helped me shed some light on magnesium. Hope that helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I have started taking Mg myself and giving it to my daughter but mg chloride. I was wondering why you chose the gel over the liquid.

Well if that is the case, from the research I have done most Magnesium supplements are not that well absorbed by the body. They are also for the most part not slowly released into the body. If you " dump " alot of magnesium into the system you get diarreah pretty quickly. So that means you are really not getting any benefit from it. Many of the forms available are hard to absorb or get dumped too quickly. I choose the gel because Transdermal would get into the system slowly and also avoid any of the diarreah reactions.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I am also trying some of the magnesium oil (spray) but haven’t noticed much difference. Dh used it for some back pain and seemed to get some relief. As far as oral goes I lean heavily toward magnesium orotate. Dr. Hans Nieper of Germany did a lot of studies about using orotates and used them with his patients quiet successfully. I also recommend Calcium Orotate (contains also magnesium orotate) as it seems to be the most useable form of calcium for the body. Of course, this is a subject that poses a lot of differing opinions. I have had clients with a supposedly diagnosis of osteoporosis use calcium orotate quite successfully. Please also know that they also worked on the whole body with healthy diet, exercise, good supplementation, water, etc. I don’t want to give the impression that calcium orotate is a magic bullet for osteoporosis. Take Care & Be Well, Loretta By Liquid do you mean as a supplement? Well if that is the case, from the research I have done most Magnesium supplements are not that well absorbed by the body.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi , Just wondering...I have started taking magnesium glycinate 600 mg. I was told that it does not cause any diarrhea and that is what I have found. Do you know how absorbable it is? I also take 500 mg of MgC at night. Nonetheless I still have very tight muscles. Does the magnesium gel work better than just taking baths of epsom salts? Thanks for all the information you have on magnesium. Very helpful.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I bought the gel and the oil when someone here mentioned it last month. I was hoping to use the oil directly on my facial skin but it stings and my skin reacts. It is actually not an oil base but a sea water trace mineral base and it is a bit hard on my skin. I will use it in my bath water and the gel (also sea water minerals) I will use occasionally on my skin but for everyday it just is too harsh for my skin. I even tried it in my hair for styling...big mistake... I could not get a comb through it :-). --- <osiris20672002@...> wrote: > I got mine on Ebay.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I ordered the gel and got it yesterday. I slathered it all over my body and it did not bother me at all. The literature that came with says the gel is much easier to use than the oil which can sting, but I did not have anything like that when I applied the gel.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I love the gel. The bottle says that if it does cause stinging just dilute it a bit. That happend to me the first few times I tried it so I watered it down and no problems. I can now use it full stregnth and I am Still loving it. The " oil " I have not tried. I do know that it can also be diluted and used in bath water. I Use my gel daily. > > > >> I got mine on Ebay.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I got my gel yesterday. It did cause a bit of stinging on me but nothing that would prevent me from using it. I have been taking epsom salt baths, about 3 a week, for more than 1 month and when I started those I would get a little stinging in sensitive places. But that went away after a few weeks, so I'm hoping the gel stinging will go away eventually too. The bottle said to apply moist heat for 20 minutes to incease absorption - when I did that the stinging was much less, possibly because that is " adding water " like they suggest if you have a problem. I wish I knew how much gets absorbed from the gel and epsom salts, but since I don't I like the idea of not having all my magnesium eggs in one basket. Sharon > I love the gel.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 , I seem to be search challenged today. I can't find the gel on the magnesiumforlife site. Can you give me any guidance? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ok, I will dilute it and try again. Anyone trying to come up with novel magnesium solutions deserves to be supported. I'll give it another try and let you know. Yes epsom salt will boost levels... lin Delano Roosevelt use to own a magnesium spa for Polio victims. The magnesium was absorbed through the skin and into the muscles and allowed their bent legs to straighten so they could stand in the water... everyone thought it was miracle water. Speaking of miracle water. Spend a minute and read the transcript of this story that ran on ABC Australia. Hint: it's the magnesium. http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s568503.htm --- Ann <noliro@...> wrote: > Thanks for the heads up on this .
