This is interesting, Bruce what do you think?

How to make your own Magnesium water [like the 'Noah' water being sold

by a certain company, which bottles water from a spring that is

naturally rich in bicarbonates of Magnesium].

The assumption is that we could all use more magnesium in our diet,

which may help reduce blood pressure, reduce the likelihood of kidney

stones, etc.

Here's how to make your own Mg-rich drinking water:

Buy a bottle of Carbonated Seltzer water - NO SODIUM, just carbonated

" fizz " water, unflavored. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Get another, larger bottle, and pour 2/3 of a capful of PLAIN

(no-flavor) Philips Milk of Magnesia (which is Magnesium Oxide, an

alkaline laxative) into the large bottle. (The bottle comes with a

plastic measuring cup which is what I mean when I say 2/3 capful.)

Now quickly open the bottle of carbonated water (water carbonic acid)

and empty it into the large bottle containing the 2/3 capful of Magnesia.

Shake well.

You will have a bottle of milky/cloudy liquid which is in the process of

neutralization between the carbonic acid and the magnesium oxide--

leaving a neutral salt, Magnesium Bicarbonate.

Let the cloudy mixture sit for a while at room temperature, until the

liquid clears; there will be some white precipitate at the bottom. Shake

again and let sit again. When clear, refrigerate. THIS IS YOUR MAGNESIUM

BICARBONATE CONCENTRATE. Unlike the chalky taste of straight Milk of

Magnesia, or the biting-fizzy taste of seltzer water, your concentrate

will have a strong, sweet, slightly " soapy " taste. You will be DILUTING

it in water for drinking purposes.

When it has chilled, pour a small amount into an empty 1 liter bottle

(approx. 1/2 " of concentrate at the bottom) and fill the rest of the

bottle with pure drinking water.

You have now created a sweet-tasting, Magnesium-enriched drinking water,

and you're also getting your Bi-carbs without all the Sodium you'd be

getting from Baking Soda.

I have been making and drinking this Mg water since Nov. 2006 (I write

this in July of 2007) and have not had any bad effects from it. I take a

bottle to work and sip it during the day. My resting heart rate seems to

have gone down and I feel more relaxed in general. I can't say it has

greatly improved my high blood pressure, but it has helped some, and I

know I am getting enough Magnesium. Probably would be beneficial to

supplement with Calcium for balance.

Try it and see what it does for you. "

I have read that myself a while ago. I found it when I was looking for mg bicarbonate because of what Mark Sircus says about it in his bicarbonate book and on his mg site;

http://sodiumbicarbonate.imva.info/index.php/administration-methods/magnesium-bicarbonate/

I can't comment on the safety of the below route> I need to check it out more, but it's an interesting concept. Dr Sircus does say in the comments on the above link:

Thanks for sharing this Lance, However I still prefer using magnesium chloride over hydroxide. See my article on the ultimate mitochondrial coctail. Dr. Sircus
