Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 I just read this article by Dr. Mercola about the concern of too much Maganese getting to babies through soy formula. My concern is if the same is true of mothers taking homozon and breasfeeding. Any thoughts? At least some of this soy formula, which tested at up to 200 times the manganese of breast milk clearly has the potential to overload the infant's little body. Lönnerdal says the baby's immature liver cannot handle the manganese load by excreting the excess. In newborns, ingested manganese rises to high levels in the blood plasma and red blood cells, then permeates the liver, kidneys and other soft tissues of the body, including the brain. He believes, however, that by the time of weaning, when the infant normally consumes solid food, it can metabolize manganese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Dear klink, You are confusing MANGANESE with MAGNESIUM. Two different elements. (By the way, formula is slow poison...)

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Homozon is manufactured on a magnesium base, but Homozon is not magnesium oxide (MGO) or even magnesium peroxide (MGO2). That's why it's so much more effective (and expensive) than MGO and MGO2, which can be bought quite cheaply in bulk. Homozon has a lot more oxygen bound in it than that. Mothers, be vigilant when starting on Homozon while breastfeeding -- I witnessed one case of extremely severe (the most severe I've ever seen) diaper rash in a breast-feeding baby. The onset was sudden and coincided precisely with the mother starting on Homozon. Evidently the Homozon-affected breast milk contained something from the mother that produced something in the baby's feces that was caustic. Exposure times in the diaper were not long, yet the effect was severe. The case of diaper rash was successfully treated with Cutozon Green Donna wrote: Hi, I can't remember if anyone answered this or not. But just in case they did not. Manganese and Magnesium are not the same thing. Make sure you have your minerals right. Homozon is magnesium oxide. NOT manganese. I have read several reports on the bowel cleanse groups of moms who are on homozon who are breastfeeding. Seems to benefit the babies. Does that help?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi Green. I know you have inside info on homozon. The label says magnesium oxide. I know it is altered but, it was my understanding that mag oxide was the base? Is that wrong? Also, glad to know about the bad report on breastfeeding. I have only heard the positive ones.
