Magnesium Foot Soak
The fastest way to up your magnesium is to take a supplement. Take a 400mg Magnesium Citrate every day. If you don't want to take a pill... You can always take a good dose of Milk of Magnesia (MOM) and back off from the dose when you have loose stools (diharreah) sorry, never could spell that word. ;-)
Aside from that, take a bath, and soak in a tub with the MG (follow directions on the pkg). Soaking your feet is all good, but if it isn't sufficient if you are having body cramping from lack of it. Another thing, make sure you are not depleting your potassium. Eat a bananna and drink a glass of tomato and / or orange juice every day. If you are low on any of the essential minerals / electrolytes it can really mess you up. It is hard to tell what is missing at times, which is why having a very well balanced diet with a lot of fruits and veggies is so very important. Good luck. Carly

Arrhythmia
I went this route because of my recent heart arrhythmia, which so far the Cardiologist has yet to address. I figured that I had over done the procedure and my body was telling me to stop.
One word of advice to you young whipper snappers, don't wait until you are 70 to try to recover your health. You too far down the shady side of the mountain to do this. For your best health you need to treat yourself as a diabetic and that's ATS . Control your sugar regardless. As my Russian author says, eat right and you will live 10 years longer, breath right and you will live 20 years longer.

Every day this week, I increased until I gave him 20 drops per dose 2X a day with a little water. He swishes in his mouth a few times before swallowing. He took his blood pressure again this evening, and it is now 125/69. He said his blood pressure hasn't been this good since he was a teen.
He also wants to contribute the fact that he really cleaned up his diet this week, cut out all bread, and no alcohol. Other wise, he eats pretty healthy. He also wants to mention how much better his gum's are, and don't bleed so much when he brushes them. We think the swishing before swallowing the Magnesium oil contributes to this as well. I love Mag oil,
Peace, Rena.

My fascination with MgCl was hugely increased from the above article, where I discovered that, amongst all its other myriad of health uses, Mag Chloride can help or cure a large number of dangerous viral and bacterial diseases on its own. I was never aware of this until recently.
I also wonder why Mag Chloride is so much more effective than all the other magnesium salts. Perhaps it is the Chloride part of this molecule that gives a different and more advantageous structure, or maybe the way MgCl is absorbed and gets changed by ingestion or by transdermal absorbtion. This is a bit of a deep biological/chemical question which I cannot answer. It would be wonderful if Ted could explain this.

"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 Chronic 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:

I have also found that Magnesium Chloride oil makes a great styling product for your hair. Just don't use too much or you hair will look oily.
The first time we applied it to our skin, we felt so relaxed, we fell asleep straight away in a deep sleep. It was amazing.
Magnesium Foot Soak
EC: You will need magnesium chloride flakes (sources posted at the top of the transdermal magnesium therapy page).
Add 1 cup of magnesium chloride flakes to 1 cup of boiling water. Allow to dissolve and cool slightly, then pour into a pyrex casserole dish (one that will fit both feet). You need just enough liquid to soak the bottom of your feet. It's not much at all. Soak feet for at least 20 minutes.
Good idea to have a damp towel next to you to wipe solution off feet before you walk around when finished!
See the feedback posts on this page for more info.

I am having no foot or leg cramping ever since I started. My sleeping has been so heavy and so sound, I like to call it a near death sleep, it's that deep. 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.

More magnesium oil updates:
I have started to soak my feet in magnesium oil a few times a week. A friend of mine in Los Angeles turned me on to this technique. This is a great technique for those who can't stand having the oil slathered all over them. I do small amounts of magnesium oil at a time since it's just the bottom of the feet you want the oil to reach.
I use a small-ish rectangular pyrex baking dish that fits boths feet (lengthwise) and add 1/4 cup magnesium chloride flakes and 1/4 boiling water. I also lay a small wet towel beside the dish so I don't get oil all over the floor after I am done soaking.
After the mixture cools down slightly, I put my feet in the dish and wait for at least 30 minutes.. I find that soaking my feet when working at the computer is the easiest. What's amazing is that I can feel the magnesium (heat? energy?) moving up my legs after about 10 minutes of soaking. I do feel the calming effects faster when I put the magnesium oil on my face and neck, however, but the foot soak works well too.
On the face: sometimes the magnesium oil makes my face slightly red and sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why. I slather a good moisturizer on afterwards because it tends to dry out my skin a bit. People who are trying it on the face for the first time should proceed carefully and wash it off if they feel it burning. Probably not a good idea to try magnesium oil on the face if you've been out or are planning to go out in the sun.
I've also discovered Magnesium oil is fantastic for eye fatigue. I massage a little in around the temples and then dab it on my eyelids. Do not apply it underneath your eyes! Ouch!! I've accidentally gotten some in my eyes, but washed it out with cold water and was fine.
One last thing: I think magnesium oil should be stored in a glass container. I worry a little bit about the chemicals from plastic containers leaking into the oil. I have been keeping mine in a glass mug covered with saran wrap until I can locate glass spray bottles. It may not leak, but just in case, better to be on the safe side.
That's it for now! Thanks for reading...
Heart Palpitations, Poor Circulation

It takes exactly 20 minutes once I apply the magnesium oil to feel the calm effect in my head. Takes the same amount of time to relax any sore muscles. I have been leaving it on 20 minutes and then showering it off.
Okay, here's one of the best things about the magnesium oil beside the calming effect-- it causes the skin to glow and become unbelievably soft. I started to put it on my face, first to see if it would relax the tension in my jaw (it does), and then to see what effect it would have. Quite amazing. Looks like I've just had an expensive facial... that's the glow you get from it. My nails are not as brittle and have been growing like gangbusters. I have to trim them every few days.
Since I bought enough magnesium chloride flakes to last for a decade (see my other posts), I have been giving it away to friends at karate. One friend has told me that he wakes up in the morning with lose muscles if he applies the oil the night before. This is fantastic because my friend is a personal trainer and also trains very hard as an international karate competitor. Another friend who has been applying the oil absolutely loves the glow it gives her skin. She never misses a day!
I imagine the skin product manufacturing companies will be all over this if more people report back about the glowing skin effect. Hopefully they won't feel it threatens their business and try banning magnesium oil!
I have possible (as in not sure yet) side effects to report, but will do that in a separate post later today.

As to the issue of Magnesium the arachidonic acid is reduced following magnesium supplementation,which leads to reduction in arthritis problem. The whole issue appears to be excessive calcium intake that leads to deposition in calcium as well as acid forming foods which leeches out calcium from the bones into the tissue itself. Hence I used magnesium to apply to arthritic areas to reduce arachidonic acid which is what causes arthritis.

P.S. Those two 7 pound bags of magnesium chloride flakes that I bought are going to last me a couple of years! I certainly did not need to order so much. The 1/2 cup of solution that I made will last about 2 weeks, at least!
