activated charcoal and epsom bath salts

[Guest guest]

Hi, I have read many posts about parents using activated charcoal and

epsom bath salts for their children and I also read the link regarding

using these during die off. I am not very educated about these- would

someone mind sharing with me exactly what are they being used for and

how do they help? I also have read posts about the use of enzymes...

is there a source of info that could help me with those, too? Thanks

so much,

Hi, Allyson.

We do not use activated charcoal, but we have had wonderful success with

epsom salt baths, creams, etc.

www.enzymestuff.com/epsomsalts.htm has great information about epsom salts,

how they help with digestion, and why they are beneficial. I cannot imagine

the early days/die-off days without it! There is other interesting stuff on

the site, as well, including information about enzymes, SCD, PDD, etc.

Hi ,

Are there any dangers in epsom salt baths? We do a clay bath once a

week and was wondering if this would be something I could add to my

little guys schedule.

Thanks,

Darci

Hi, Darci.

We have been using the epsom salts baths on and off for about four years and

consistently for the last two years since starting SCD. I have seen nothing

but positive effects. There have been days that we have lived in the

tub--three+ baths a day when the aggression was so profound, and the baths

did the trick every time. Our son now asks for them when he is not feeling

right. There were a few questions a few months back about the safety of the

baths, and I asked our team of doctors at our semi-annual check-up. None of

the 12+ docs, residents, etc. saw a problem (kidney specialists,

neurologists, geneticist, dev. pediatrician, autism team, neurobehavioral

team, etc.). The body does not store up magnesium, so toxicity does not

occur the way it does with other minerals, etc. This is why magnesium

orally is a laxative. However, none of us have ever experienced diarrhea/gi

trouble from the epsom salt baths

Check the posts from June of this year (message # 32694) and the threads for

the Chelation and SCD. I wrote about our experiences with epsom salts and

several other people included questions and comments.

Good luck.
