~~~What I wish they could make more clear about Tysabri is how much of

the immune system it blocks. My neuro. wants me to take this, if it

comes back on the market, but I'm nervous about the fact that it

hampers the immune system in any way. He says that 75% of MS patients

are actually suffering from something else. What if that something

else is some kind of bug that the immune system is holding at bay and

when Tysabri is taken, that bug has free reign?

~~~That's my feeling too, Mark! I am coming close to cancelling the

appointment with the Neuro to even discuss Tysabri, now that I've

considered it more fully. Even if I go to the appt. and refuse

Tysabri, he will undoubtedly suggest some other drug I'd not want to

consider.

I took Copaxone for a long time and feel it did some good, but

recently developed reactions to it that were unacceptable, which still

amazes me, since all Copaxone is, is 4 amino acids and malitol. But,

my reactions were enough for me to be a believer that it's no longer

good for me.

Mark,

I have done a lot of reading about magnesium at the Magnesium site,

and have read a lot of the research. This came about, because I'd

taken a calcium/magnesium/zinc supplement that had a ratio of twice

as much calcium as magnesium, for 15 years. I went to a new

Naturapath, he ran some tests and found that I had a severe

magnesium deficiency and was hypercalcemic. I went off all calcium

supplementation and he gave me magnesium injections for about 2

months. Then he wanted me to take half magnesium and half calcium

orally. I have never been able to take any calcium since, because

it causes muscle cramps. I took only magnesium for several years,

at about 400-500 mg a day, but the last couple of years, when I

tried to increase the dose to 800-900 mg a day, I got increased

muscle cramps from that too. I tried adding calcium, but they only

got worse.

Recently, I tried reducing the magnesium, but my WPW, (Wolf,

White syndrome - heart condition), started acting up. I thought it

might be from reducing the magnesium, so I'm now back up to 525 mg a

day. So, I do believe that magnesium deficiency is a problem for

me. I have thought that maybe I need more magnesium, because I

still have a lot of spasticity and when I wake up, my legs are

invariably bent and when I stretch them out, my legs begin to

cramp. But, when I add more magnesium, I start having even worse

spasticity and vivid dreams, which I know are a symptom of magnesium

overage. So, at this point, I don't know what to think.

However, if it's true that I have Lyme, (positive test through

Igenex Labs), it's the Lyme causing the muscle problems and around

500-600 mg a day of magnesium is probably enough?

As far as the magnesium chloride oil is concerned, I don't know what

to say....whether it would be different than the oral magnesium I'm

taking or not?

I'm spending $175 a month for the herbs to fight Lyme right now and

want to at least get through the most intensive part of this

program, (approximately 60 days of $175 a month and then down to a

maintenance dose for a year), before I can spend extra money on

anything else.

But, I'm definitely interested in more information about magnesium,

because I do think it is very KEY, and maybe I could try some

things, if they were of minimal cost, until I finish the 60 days of

Lyme herb expense. (Another 5 weeks.)

> Carol and everyone in the group I want to introduce a

totally new possibility for treatment that is untried but certainly

it is safe. And that is mega magnesium mineral therapy...split

between higher foods containing magnesium, oral supplements, and the

totally new transdermal magnesium chloride therapy. I have not had

the time to investigate MS specifically when it comes to magnesium,

and perhaps if people are interested this week we could do that. I

am finishing this weeken my book Magnesium Chloride and the Waters

of Life and in that book I have a case of a doctor and magnesium

researcher who is diabetic with diabetic neuropathy and incredibly

he treated himself with 20 grams of magnesium a day (all oral) and

actually had regeneration of the nerves in his feet. From A to Z

magnesium is important in the body......and the bottom line...no

matter what therapy you are going with now or plan to...magnesium

needs to be a part of it in a big time way. I have some prose in the

book that draws an image of magnesium being close to the same

importance as the air we breathe. Its that necessary for cell life

and it is deficient in about 70 percent or more of the general

public, which is only getting sicker and sicker.

> I would love to work with several people in the group and

see explore this untried solution. I have a friend who has been

reading me on the Internet for over 7 years and I sent her a quart

of this stuff called Magnesium Oil about two weeks ago. Her

situation was destroyed heart muscle tissues so its totally

different from MS but..............what you will read in this

testimony is a general testimony to the power of magnesium chloride.

Also I am working with a woman whose husband has a very advanced

stage of Parkinson's disease and he is doing better....but read the

I advise anyone who accepts this offer do so with the knowledge of your

healthcare provider, allopathic or homeopathic.

I agree

While this offer sounds generous, it could be dangerous to the recipient.

I disagree....magnesium has the same toxicity rating as Vitamin C and living

and breathing is dangerous.....yes if you drank the gallon down I would not want

to be around.

It could help.

Magnesium does more than help its essential for life.....and healing...and 325

enzyme reactions, cell wall integrity, ATP production and more.

The decision is not one to be taken lightly.

I agree....I would want people involved who are serious about giving this a

chance...and possibly show the world something new, powerful and safe.

One possible problem is not having any idea just how much

magnesium you are absorbing.

Mark,

I'm interested, but not in a gallon for $70. I just don't have that

much to invest in something that I could have a reaction to, and not

be able to finish, and especially not right now. (As I said, I'm on

an expensive Lyme treatment, so everything else will have to wait

for about 5-6 weeks.)

> What I would like to do is offer 10 people in the group a gallon

of the magnesium oil for for half price plus shipping. Its normally

120 plus freight...so lets say 60 plus ten or seventy dollars. A

quart of the stuff retails for 48 bucks. A gallon would be enough

for two, three or four months of intensive treatment depending on

how its used.....direct body spraying uses less than taking baths in

it. I would be recommending combination of body spraying and baths.

is not experimental and everyone, even healthy people should be

doing that.
