Re: Spectra Cell - complete testing - IV magnesium

[Guest guest]

On a related note, Ive had way different response from IV mag than

oral.

Used to take 400 mg of Mg /day as Mg glycinate, usually as just a

single dose, but usually with vit E and fat, which I think(?) I read

increase Mg absorption. I never tried the slow-release or liquid

formulas some prefer (by the way, look out for combining

slow-release minerals with drugs like cyclines and zith - absorption

of those will be harmed).

After one or two mag IVs I almost totally stopped having muscle

twitches every 30 seconds or so, which began long before I became

incapacitated last summer. Not that not twitching really matters

much to me.

I've been getting IV'd every 2-3 weeks and after a couple doses I

gradually had more stamina to deal with school, which I would

attribute most likely to the Mg.

I have no idea why we inflammation causes low intracellular Mg.

Maybe its just a vasculopathy >> low O2 >> low metabolism thing - I

know pumping ions is something to which healthy mammals devote

colossal sums of energy. What the effects of replacing Mg in this

powerful way might be on the attempt to eradicate our foes, I know

not. In fact, I want to study more before going on with it to make

sure I think its smart. Also, it has had no effect on my quality of

life, as distinguished from functionality - I feel like crap. But it

is usually much easier to get up 3 flights of stairs at school and

stand up for 2 hours in lab, which is nice.

Did you ever try injection? I did that for a while and can't say it really

did much, except maybe I slept better. I wondered if you thought IV was

better than injection.

On a related note, sometimes I do fine with magnesium orally, but other

times it just causes diarrhea. I've been told to take epsom salt baths

because you body absorbs the magnesium through the skin and you won't get

diarrhea, but ironically even a small amount of epsom salts in my bath gives

me diarrhea. So somehow I must absorb it through my skin but then my body

doesn't absorb it on the inside? Not sure how that works.

No, I never did try intramuscular injection.
