Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yes, mag malate is particularly good for people with fibromyalgia because it is a magnesium salt of malic acid, and malic acid is prescribed to help with pain for fibro folks. -- At 02:15 AM 5/30/2011, you wrote: >magnesium malate is also good. it's what I take.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 it interferes with the absorption of folic acid and iron ... The diarrhea caused by magnesium hydroxide carries away much of the body's supply of potassium, and failure to take extra potassium may lead to muscle cramps ... Only a small amount of the magnesium from milk of magnesia is usually absorbed from a person's intestine (unless the person is deficient in magnesium). However, magnesium is mainly excreted by the kidneys so longterm, daily consumption of milk of magnesia by someone suffering from renal failure could lead in theory to hypermagnesemia. as with anything there are pros and cons ...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 good idea . Water is the key issue here. She has bladder issues and doesn't want to be embarrassed so she refuses to drink a lot of water or liquids. She will be 96 in a few weeks. You can't tell her anything she is very stubborn. She is very independent, still drives and will not do something you want her to do. Drives me nuts. Now I have to plot against what her doctor told her to do.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 ok, but something I've learned with my own mother is that, I can't live her life for her. She was feeling a lot better when she was taking NAC (for COPD), but she won't continue taking it, and refuses to see the connection. My mother is younger than yours, and I still have had to come to the conclusion that constantly trying to intervene in her life meant we were fighting and she still didn't do what I suggested. So I've had to accept that's just her life, I can't fix it, and try to have some quality of life with her and not have our relationship constantly be a struggle. That's the choice I've made. I still observe and make suggestions, but I don't fight with her about it. -- >good idea . Water is the key issue here.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 heh. It's honestly not as crazy as it sounds. I got feeling so good behind iodine protocol and LDN that I unconsciously stopped taking them for a couple of weeks over the holidays this past year without realizing it. That's when I got some compassion for the problem. I've never had this problem before, and now I actually am struggling to remember to take my supplements and the med. It's so weird to find myself in this predicament after decades of dedication to supplementation with few hitches. --V At 01:19 AM 5/31/2011, you wrote: >LOL ..... same here.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I am surprised to read this about MOM because I have been using it for a magnesium supplement. I add the MOM to ACV and then add some of the mixed solution to a quart of water and drink that through the day for a form of magnesium that is used instantly in the bloodstream. It was highly recommended to me by an herbalist. Are we talking about the same thing? GL it interferes with the absorption of folic acid and iron ... The diarrhea caused by magnesium hydroxide carries away much of the body's supply of potassium, and failure to take extra potassium may lead to muscle cramps ... Only a small amount of the magnesium from milk of magnesia is usually absorbed from a person's intestine (unless the person is deficient in magnesium). However, magnesium is mainly excreted by the kidneys so longterm, daily consumption of milk of magnesia by someone suffering from renal failure could lead in theory to hypermagnesemia. as with anything there are pros and cons ...
