Here’s a link to a news report about this recent piece of research:

The study also found a dose-response effect — with each increase in white rice serving per day, risk of type 2 diabetes rose by 11%.

Transdermal magnesium can be applied at the rate of 1-2 oz. per day on the skin. The amount depends on the size of the person as to how much they actually need, and on how deficient they are. There is little danger in using too much as healthy kidneys will excrete any excess taken in very shortly. But kidney functioning must be in good working oder.

The only magnesium compound that IMVA endorses and recomends is Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil from LL’s Magnetic Clay co. It is the most pure and quality controlled magnesium oil. We do not recommend any oral magnesium products because generally they are not found to elevate magnesium levels as quickly as transdermal application will

Diarrhea is a limiting factor in getting enough magnesium from any oral form. Only about 30-40% of the magnesium you think you are ingesting is actually being absorbed. With magnesium oil you by-pass the gut and its associated absorption problems.

Magnesium oil should be applied liberally for about 3-4 months till your body has reached a normal level if you are deficient. Then you can cut back on the amount used. Two oz. per day is the maximum anyone should need and thats really quite a lot. Some people need to dilute till their skin becomes accustomed and this can be done by adding half spring water to the magnesium.

Dr. Sircus gives more specific and individualized recommendations for dosages and additional needed supplements in consultations.

Having just become suspicious that my daughter may have a hypoglycemia problem, I too am very interested in specifics. If you are reluctant to suggest actual quantities of which Mg compound to use and how it should be applied (which I quite understand could be interpreted as something like a distant diagnosis followed by a prescription), can you not give a guidance as to how quantities, dosage and method of absorption can be worked out by any individual — please?

Since magnesium is so immportant to insulin production and use it is an absolute necessity even when hypoglycemia might occur in certain people. It helps to stabilie blood sugars and maintain a steady state of insulin production. Spirulina also does this.

If you have had a diet full of processsed food and high in salt you need to make a lifestyle change and get away from that. You can help your body adjust by using magnesium, clay products……like edible clay and get on a more alkaline diet with more greens and lemon juice in water…it might take awhile. These thins will help to detox your body and magnesium is crucial for this. We all need some salt in our systems and it is important as a regulator of water in our bodies and as a necessary component of the electrical signaling needed. Sodium and chloride are both necessary electrolytes as are mmagnesium and potassium….the cells could not function properly without any of these.. Good quality salt should be used, not refined salt as is usually sold, as it strips the many crucial minerals in the processing.

For more information you should read Dr. Sircus’ book on Transdermal Magnesium Therapy, and also Dr. David Brownstein’s book on Salt Salt Your Way to Health

Transdermal Magnesium Therapy is available now in the 2nd edition through Amazon.com or through iUniverse, the publisher. See: for the links. http://blog.imva.info/medicine/transdermal-magnesium-therapy-2

How does magnesium help hypoglycaemia?

How does magnesium interact with sodium in your body?

Especially if you have had a bad diet high in salt and processed foods.

thank you for your assistance – Jen

Nigari is a fine source for magnesium chloride as long as the nigari obtained is not made of other substances (some are calcium and not magnesium). Haveing used nigari myself, I found it much too watery for transdermal use. It just does not have the same consistency as magnesium oil, so is wasteful when using it transdermally or for massages.

However if one is to just arbitrarily or randomly select data or information about such an important topic it can be almost useless if not dangerous.

The possible interactions with all other symptoms, diseases and medicine’s is phenomenal in size.

I have been studying and researching magnesium for over 10 years now and at one point every waking minute of energy I had when I was quite ill.

Along time before I heard of Dr Sircus or any other Dr referring to magnesium in a positive accurate light.

I went way back to the early 1930;s medical reports to find it first then Linus Pauling someone I studied in high school.

I found out that most modern medical records and doctors have removed, forgotten or just plain ignored magnesium. Possibly because it was not marketable or patentable.

The first item any medical emergency worker will try to get in your system in an emergency today is magnesium sulfate or a bicarbonate drip.Who cares why really that ignorance proved to me they were wrong or corrupt.

And now several people are being jailed and persecuted or prosecuted for any reference to any natural ingredient.

If you want to be careful fine and critical fine I encourage but to be lazy you do so at your own peril. Even after I discovered the right type of magnesium I had to personally discover the righ ta mount and the right application.

So if you want to listen to me without any effort or research on your part go ahead but its at your risk and peril.

I will never take oxide or citrate(their both laxatives and industrial and will harm you with long use) either a malate or taurate 500mg to a gram (weaning up to 500mg or a gram daily after six to eight weeks depending on your illnes) and also definitely a magnesium oil on my skin in lymph node areas.You can not just jump into this that would be foolish you must wean and test yourself as you go. You will have herxheimer effects and it will be very difficult.

If anyone is reading this and thinking of following what I wrote ……Think again. Research it yourself only trust yourself. And that statement has nothing to do with the validity of what I said.

Yes go ahead and read what Dr Sircus wrote. Verify and learn every medical term he uses, thats how I started and only when you understand those medical terms go back and read all you can on magnesium.

I did find the right magnesium distribution system and have greatly reduced debilitating effects and Magnesium has made my life bearable again. However I have no idea what it will do for anyone else without doing the same type of research on them.

I wish you all good luck, you are highly unlikely to find facts and truth and highly unlucky to be able to decipher all of it but it will make you more informed and thus give you a small chance to recover.
