Re: OT: Transdermal Magnesium Chloride.

[Guest guest]

Pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride has a relatively high level of lead -

Dr Sircus would not ues it on his family nor his patients. And neither would I.

Dr Sircus discusses pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride in this article .

You can get the Ancient Minerals transdermal magnesium chloride oil in half

galllon jugs too. And you can also get it in magnesium chloride flakes. If you

are using it in whole baths or foot baths, the flakes are a good option and they

are much cheaper then the oil and the gel.

About 2 weeks ago, I bought 32 pounds of the Ancient Minerals magnesium

flakes. I use 4 cups or more in a whole bath, and 2 cups in a foot bath. Your

body will never absorb more transdermal magnesium then it needs.

Transdermal magnesium causes the body to detox so start slowly for the

first week or two or you might get a herx.

The magnesium will not be absorbed in a bath if the water is hotter then 104

degrees F. This is because our skin pores go both ways, and if we are hot we

excrete toxins threw our pores and the magnesium cannot be absorbed at the same

time. If the water is not so hot that we are sweating to any degree, the

magnesium is absorbed for 20 minutes. But since I prefer hot baths, I start off

with the water very hot and when it cools, and the magnesium can be absorbed, I

stay in the bath for 20 minutes more so the magnesium can be absorbed.

Also there seems to be a rumour going around that the transdermal magnesium is

absorbed when it dries - this is not true at all. How fast the transdermal

magnesium chloride dries externally depends on the amount of humidity in the air

as well as the air flow - it has absolutely nothing to do with absorption. For

example, it will dry in less the 10 minutes in my house in the winter - but in

the summer it takes almost 20 minutes to dry. The transdermal magnesium always

takes 20 minutes to be absrorbed by the body- always regardless if it is rubbed

on, or sprayed on or absorbed in a foot bath or whole tub bath.

and is pharmaceutical grade. Any thoughts?

Thanks Shan, for letting me know. It is hard to imagine that the stuff that is

used in fish tanks for very tiny fish, would have toxic loads of lead as I would

think it would kill them. I guess I will see if I can take a batch to my local

extension office and ask them who can test it for lead content. I know that they

will sometimes test well water for lead and mercury. Thanks for the heads up.

I checked out the site and the Mag Flakes are still way more expensive. I guess

I am getting a little jaded in my old age about a lot of products such as these,

another one is the microsillica that Biopure sells in a tiny bottle for 150.00.

Microsillica is a product used in the cement industry. It has to be everywhere,

so why is this stuff so expensive? I don't want to be ingesting metals, but

sometimes I think these companies put information out there to keep people like

us from using the cheaper stuff so they can sell their own. I will check

further into the lead issue and thanks again.

Dr Mark Sircus and his research assisttant did check out the various

brands of transdermal magnesium for purity/safety as well as concentration.

Ancient Minerals is the only one that was pure enough that he would use it on

his patients and his family. In fact, there did not used to be a distributor in

North America - one had to get Anient Minerals shipped here from the Netherlands

and it was way to expensive for the shipping costs. Anyways Dr Sircus found a

company in North America that would be the distributor so that Ancient Minerals

would be available to us too.

The levels of lead in pharmaceutical grade transdermal magnesium chloride

is not too high as far as the drug companies and the FDA is concerned - it

depends on the standards of the person if it is too high I guess. Personally

I don't want to add to the toxic load in my body - it gives me enough trouble

sometimes as it is - so I will only use the purest that I can find, and that is

Ancient Minerals. Plus as the concentration of magnesium is as high as it can

get [31 - 35%], I think it gives results faster then other brand with lower

concentrations

Here is the url to the Certificate of Analysis results for Ancient Minerals -

you can compare it to the results you getr for the stuff you get tested

what about epsom salts? I take baths with a pound of salts and find it really

helps. Does that have impurities in it?

from

Why Magnesium Chloride

http://magnesiumforlife.com/product-information/why-magnesium-chloride/

According to Reid, author of The Tao of Detox, magnesium sulfate,

commonly known as Epsom salts, is rapidly excreted through the kidneys and

therefore difficult to assimilate. This would explain in part why the effects

from Epsom salt baths do not last long and why you need more magnesium sulfate

in a bath than magnesium chloride to get similar results. Magnesium chloride is

easily assimilated and metabolized in the human body. [1]

My understanding is that magnesium chloride is twice as strong as epson salts

or magnesium sulfate.

It would depend on where it came from if it has toxins or impurities in it.

There is a reason why some brands are more expensive then others - one of the

reasons is that it is a purer and safer product or/and that it has a higher

concentration of magnesium in it. Just like not all magnesium chloride is the

same strenght and purity so would that be the same for magnesium sulfate -unless

it is man-made like pharmeceutical grade magnesium chloride is man-made, so to

speak.

It is 'buyer be ware ' when buying many products these days.

Hi Shan,

I found the lead test kit online. I am also checking into a mercury test kit.

I prefer to do my own tests of the product as Dr. Sircus probably has a

financial interest in Ancient Minerals. Whenever profit is involved,

information can be suspect.

Hi

 

Also another thing to consider is your body's ability to handle sulfur, sulfate, sulfites. My daughter was recently told to stop her Epsom salt baths because that is Magnesium Sulfate and she needs to reduce sulfates.So I will look into the mag chloride transdermal routes.We are currently working on clearing ammonia and sulfates )

 

Thanks for this thread as it was timely for us:O)

 

Hugs,

 

According to the book that I am reading on Transdermal Magnesium Therapy, Epsom Salts does not stay in the system long enough to cause an increase in Magnesium Levels.

It is a good thing to do your own tests anyways as I think you will feel

better about any product you use.

As for myself, about the only doctor I would believe and trust is Mark Sircus.

Dr Mark Sircus is a memnber of my health group and so is his assistant

. I have known them both since 2005. He does not have any financial

interest in any transdermal magnesium product, and I don't think that

does too -- though I haven't checked into it with her. But I don't think that Dr

Sircus would be very pleased if she did though.

Also Mark Sircus will not accept any patients for chelating in his clinic

anymore unless they get their magnesium levels up first - I think that his

patients would be upset if he pushed them to take transdermal magnesium and then

they found out that he had a financial interest in the trans mag company. In my

opinion, Dr Mark Sircus is not just a doctor, he is a healer - there are not

many healers around these days that I have seen which is too bad.
