Minerals

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark: Perhaps magnesium overall is more important than any other

mineral, but the process of heavy metal intoxification and also chelation

requires very large amounts of zinc, so in terms of removing metals that is

what must have highest priority, with of course magnesium right along with

it. They both get depleted very quickly with detoxification but zinc always

hits deficiencies sooner than anything else, and must be adequately replaced

for this process to be successful. Both minerals are absolutely essential to

life.

Will be a pleasure quoting you on this one Jacquelyn

Yes understood...for me I feel like I have been swimming in the

ocean.....this week I got my first masssage using only the oil and it was

wonderful.

Well you know when it comes to autistic children or anyone else who is ill

we cannot leave magnesium supplimentation to chance...and oral is certainly

very chancy......more than that if there is any bowel problem. There is

nothing convient about autism....and the kids would have much less of a

problem with the sticky feeling...also it can be diluted to reduce skin

irritation. What I was trying to communicate perhaps would be covered more

by the word frustration.....that such a big answer...a way to get magnesium

into the kids is not being addressed...at least not yet. Of course I will be

doing more about that in the future.

Bottom line....oral magnesium is a non-starter....not dependable enough to

even consider it a medical treatment. IV and transdermal applications are

for sure medically dependable to increase magnesium levels. What I am also

saying is that a prime reason so many kids do not do well on chelation and

are not recovered is just this....poor mineral magnesium .....on my new site

there will be a link to what I will call minerals for life...I almost called

the site that....and there I will start my research into zinc...and other

minerals..............until then I cannot talk intelligently about zinc

though I know you are right about it.
