It is usd as a food additive and to melt snow. so my question is how would we ever know if it is pure, if we buy the cheap kind for fishtanks. i want to make my own "unique water". It seems that this cures inflamatory and infectious disese and prolongs life by 30% in livestock anyway. A vet named Russel J Beckett patented Unique water and is doing tons of research. they sell it from a soft drink company in Australia called Berts Soft Drinks and it has become their best seller. It is just magnesium bicarbonate. I want to make my own for myself and my little dog. i want to cure his artritis in his spine.

Apparently, Mag Chloride is unique to all the other magnesium salts because it has unique cytophilactic activity -- whether used directly on wounds or orally or by injection, Mag Chloride is able to act as an amazing and fast immune tonic and stimulant. Here is a extract from the article: "Dr.Delbet performed a lot of "in vitro" and "in vivo" experiments with this solution[Mag Chloride] and he became aware that it was good not only for external applications, but it was also a powerful immuno-stimulant if taken by injections or even by mouth. He called this effect "cytophilaxis". In some "in vivo" experiments it was able to increase phagocytosis [white blood cell production] rate up to 300%." "He credited the immuno-stimulant activity to the solution for this result,and he tested it in some other diptheric patients. All the patients were cured in a very short time (24-48 hours), with no after-effects. As Magnesium Chloride has no direct effect on bacteria (i.e. it is not an antibiotic ), Neveu thought that its action was aspecific, immuno-enhancing, so it could be useful, in the same manner, also against viral diseases. So he began to treat some cases of poliomyelitis, and had the same wonderful results. He was very excited and tried to divulge the therapy, but he ran into a wall of hostility and obstructionism from "Official Medicine". Neither Neveu or Delbet (who was a member of the Academy of Medicine) was able to diffuse Neveu´s extraordinary results. The opposition was total: Professors of Medicine, Medical Peer-Reviews, the Academy itself, all were against the two doctors."Official Medicine" saw in Magnesium Chloride Therapy a threat to its new and growing business: vaccinations. Dr.Neveu wasn´t discouraged by this and continued to test this therapy in a wide range of diseases. He obtained very good results in: pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hoarseness, common cold, influenza, asthma, bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary emphysema, "children diseases" (whooping-cough, measles, rubella, mumps, scarlet fever...), alimentary and professional poisonings, gastroenteritis, boils, abscesses, erysipelas, whitlow, septic pricks (wounds), puerperal fever and osteomyelitis. But the indications for Magnesium Chloride therapy don´t end here. In more recent years other physicians (and I among these) have verified many of Delbet´s and Neveu´s applications and have tried the therapy in other pathologies: asthmatic acute attack, shock, tetanus (for these the solution is administered by intravenous injection); herpes zoster, acute and chronic conjunctivitis, optic neuritis, rheumatic diseases, many allergic diseases, spring-asthenia and Cronic Fatigue Syndrome (even in cancer it can be an useful adjuvant)." You can find the article here, and its well worth a read because it gives specific working oral concentrations and dosages as well as injection doses for Mag Chloride: http://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=49&db=5&C0=74 " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/transdermal-magnesium-therapy.html&name=WHERE_38207 /Remedies/transdermal-magnesium-therapy.rss3 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:28:04 EST Renee from Bergen Co., Nj writes: "Magnesium Flakes - Where to buy - Comment, Question I have used the Mg flakes sold on eBay with positive results, but I quickly ran out.

A pain/stiffness I had in my left shoulder down to my elbow is easing up (will report further in the future on this). My heart palpitations are steady, no more jumping around of beats which get kind of scary sometimes. Several years ago I did buy the magnesium chloride oil that comes in a jug and cost an arm and a leg. I still have a little left because it cost so much, I never used it unless I was having several problems. The oil that comes in the ready made jug is yellow in color, and the solution I make from the flakes I make is clear. I wonder if there is a difference, if anyone knows please let me know why one is yellow and the other is clear. Thanks, Peace, Rena.

No more muscle spasms, no more jaw clinching, no more sleepless nights but better energy, more stamina, more relaxed and definitely good nights of sleep. It makes a big difference in my life. I must say that at the beginning of the treatment, I used to place a bit of "magnesium oil" in my hands and rubbed it on my body; it made me feel relaxed and I could feel the difference. However, it all improved drastically when I started the "Magnesium Foot Therapy." I simply use a large dish, pour 1/2" of warm magnesium oil in it and soak my feet, watching a movie or reading. It can also turn into a semi-social event if you get your friend, partner, spouse to soak with you.

I have purchased Magnesium Chloride and have been making the oil at home. I just make a mix of 50% reverse osmosis water and 50% Magnesium flakes. I use room temperature water, not hot. It usually takes a few minutes for it to dilute completely. I have been drinking 1/8 teaspoon (tiny amount) in a big glass of water. Also, I have noticed that, when I apply it directly in my underarms, it makes body odor go away in a matter of minutes. It stings lightly for a little bit, but it really works for me. I have to use it for a longer time and experiment as far as how often I need to use it for this purpose. One more thing that I have been doing is rubbing a tiny amount of the oil on my feet every night, so far, I have not noticed any major calming effects or even much better sleep (I have trouble falling asleep, it takes me a long time), but I wake up a bit more relaxed and my feet are soft. I just hope I am not overdoing, or throwing anything out of balance. Any thoughts would be appreciated it.

Magnesium is the primary remedy for most joint pains. If I were to prepare a standard solution of magnesium oil, it will be between 70-80% magnesium chloride, plus 20-30% water. I put this in a dropper bottle and use between 5-8 drops in a glass of water taken two to three times a day. This is the PRIMARY remedy I used for joint pain, borax remedy is a supporting remedy to kill whatever pathogens. It takes about 3 days to reduce most of the pain, unless it's a long term condition then that's more difficult to deal with since the pathogens goes deep into the bones and require much more advance natural remedy beyond this email postings. Ted" 07/09/2009: Mike from New Lenox, Illinois replies: "Thank you for your reply. Where do you get magnesium oil? I am presently taking a magnesium chloride tablet about 800mg a day. I forgot to mention that I see white flakes in my urine. Any ideas? Again thank you. Sincerely, Mike" 07/09/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: A magnesium oil is simply magnesium chloride in a water solution. The concentration is 80% magnesium chloride and 20% water. The white flakes needs to be analyzed what they are. Too much magnesium chloride may cause cloudy urine in very few cases. The only way to tell is to stop the magnesium and see if flakes is reduced, and then take a lower dose of magnesium if it's caused by it. The other issue may be the body is high of the other things such as struvite crystals and uric acid for example. Overall, cloudy urine maybe reduced with taking alkaline supplement such as 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 glass of water twice a day. The other common remedy I used is take some vitamin B complex whenever there is some cloudiness of the urine. One dose will usually be enough to tconfirm whether it works or not. In conditions of arthritis in cattle, they have always found bacteria, such as brucella, mycoplasma, streptoccous, staphylococcus, PPLO, pneumonoccus, erysipelus in the bones of cattle. In humans I found it to be similar. The reason why magnesium works is it kills off the staphyloccus, but alkalization, especially the potassium citrate is likely to kill the others as well as some supporting hydrogen peroxide. Reaching deep into the bones require larger dose and longer time to penetrate deep enough. Long term potassium deficiency and boron can cause these organisms to flourish so it's going to take some time to remove them, especially the mycoplasma. Therefore it's usually immune systems related. Plenty of zinc and copper supplements also help, but it may takes months of the remedy.

This is a great improvement in just a few days using the magnesium oil so I am very excited and wanted to share. I knew I had symptoms of low magnesium and have tried other magnesium supplements (oral) before without any improvement, however the oil that I am now using is absorbed through the skin so it is obviously utilized better by the body.

Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) is an excellent source of magnesium, much more bio-available and less expensive than supplements. You can soak in it in the tub, or make a spray from 4oz by weight of epsom salts dissolved in 32 fluid oz of distilled water. Put the epsom salt/water mix in a spray bottle and spray it on after your shower (rub it in like lotion all over). This is a home made version of "magnesium oil" (magnesium chloride), only made with epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) instead. Magnesium from epsom salts is very well absorbed throught the skin and doesn't loosen the bowels like oral magnesium supplements do. If you want to use magnesium chloride to make homemade "magnesium oil", get some unscented magnesium chloride bath salts and proceed as for "magnesium oil" made from epsom salts. Since I started using epsom salts, my skin is no longer dry...due, I think, to the sulfer content of epsom salts. If you feel up-tight, tense, anxious, nervous, crampy, etc., take an epsom salt soak. Exercise, and stress of all kinds, depleats magnesium, which is why an epsom salt soak after a work out or a stressful day is so good for you." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/transdermal-magnesium-therapy.html&name=TA_30509 /Remedies/transdermal-magnesium-therapy.rss21 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 12:26:06 EST Nadine from North Bergen, NJ writes: "Hi, I've recently begun taking Magnesium Citrate in powder form on a near daily basis along with blackstrap molasses.
