Magnesium Chloride Vs Magnesium Sulfate

Soaking in a sea of magnesium chloride – The Dead Sea

According to Daniel Reid, author of The Tao of Detox, magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salts, is rapidly excreted through the kidneys and therefore difficult to assimilate. This would explain in part why the effects from Epsom salt baths do not last long and why you need more magnesium sulfate in a bath than magnesium chloride to get similar results. Magnesium chloride is easily assimilated and metabolized in the human body.[1] However, Epsom salts are used specifically by parents of children with autism because of the sulfate, which they are usually deficient in , sulfate is also crucial to the body and is wasted in the urine of autistic children.

For purposes of cellular detoxification and tissue purification, the most effective form of magnesium is magnesium chloride, which has a strong excretory effect on toxins and stagnant energies stuck in the tissues of the body, drawing them out through the pores of the skin. This is a powerful hydrotherapy that draws toxins from the tissues, replenishes the “vital fluid” of the cells and restores cellular magnesium to optimum levels. Magnesium Chloride is environmentally safe, and is used around vegetation and in agriculture. It is not irritating to the skin at lower concentrations, and is less toxic than common table salt.

Magnesium Chloride solution was not only harmless for tissues,
but it had also a great effect over leucocytic activity and
phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.

Dr. Jean Durlach et al, at the Université P. et M. Curie, Paris, wrote a paper about the relative toxicities between magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride. They write, “The reason of the toxicity of magnesium pharmacological doses of magnesium using the sulfate anion rather than the chloride anion may perhaps arise from the respective chemical structures of both the two magnesium salts. Chemically, both MgSO4 and MgCl2 are hexa-aqueous complexes. However MgCl2 crystals consist of dianions with magnesium coordinated to the six water molecules as a complex, [Mg(H2O)6]2+ and two independent chloride anions, Cl-. In MgSO4, a seventh water molecule is associated with the sulphate anion, [Mg(H2O)6]2 +[SO4. H2O]. Consequently, the more hydrated MgSO4 molecule may have chemical interactions with paracellular components, rather than with cellular components, presumably potentiating toxic manifestations while reducing therapeutic effect.”

MgSO4 is not always the appropriate salt in clinical therapeutics.
MgCl2 seems the better anion-cation association to be
used in many clinical and pharmacological indications.[2]

Magnesium sulfate is a chemical compound containing magnesium and sulfate, with the formula MgSO4. In its hydrated form the pH is 6.0 (5.5 to 7.0). It is often encountered as the heptahydrate, MgSO4·7H2O, commonly called Epsom salts. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. Since the anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water from the air) and therefore harder to weigh accurately, the hydrate is often preferred when preparing solutions, for example in medical preparations. Epsom salts have traditionally been used as a component of bath salts.

    Hello again Dr. Sircus,

    I just found and read your magnesium cnhloride vs magnesium sulfate.;
    and think it probably answers both of my questions I had concerning
    any superiority of one over the other. Thanks a whole bunch for being there for those of us looking for answers.

    I sure wish I had read your book on the terror of pediatric medicine
    before I had children. I would have fought tooth and nail to prevent
    them getting any vaccinations, especially since all the controversy
    over the side effects which range from autism to death.

    At least I can warn young mothers like my grandchildren to be wary of
    them, which I have been doing already for quite some time now.

    Thank you for your medical veritas.

    Hope your friend who was kidnapped has returned home by now. I suspect that the problem was that a lot of other people beside myself
    here in the states had been purchasing products from them and big pharm/orthodox medicine didn’t like it.

    The effects of magnesium chloride in the body are much greater than the effects of magnesium sulfide.

    And Magnesium oxide is the form of oral magnesium most poorly ablsorbed of any. Thats why they need such hi dosages of this form to do do any good.

    thanks for allyour effort in getting all this info..i need to know if there is any chance that magnesiumchloride cannot be absorbed by someone with autism?i have asperges and have been taking MgCl(oral liquid) for nearly 2 years and cant see any response on my symptoms? also ihave taken magnesium citrate powder as well..after first month i had some improvements but then all the symptoms came back to stay..sorry to ask you such a question but no one seems to know much about it all, for aspergers? maybe B6 could help?.the big prob with apergers/autism is not being able to absorb properly..do you think the transdermalMg will be able to absorb into an asperger/autistic systom better because its bipassing the digestive/gut process or is the problem with the proteins etc still going to block the minerals..ps.i eat organically and do all the ‘health’ways of living(22 years) (dont even live in the city..in NZ)..i know your flat out, so if you can answer i will pass on to all the ‘others’..i really appreciate your passion and use of your intelligence to help others, and promoting integrity and heart back into the ‘matrix’,commonly known in these parts as A Good Bloke..

    Yes Meg,
    If there are digestive problems as often occurs in autistic disorders, absorption of magnesium taken orally can be impaired. Using magnesium transdermally will bypass the digestive system and is absorbed at a greater rate than orally taken magnesium. even with good digestive system, the oral magnesium products are only absorbed at 30-40%.

    Claudia French RN, LPHA
    Assistant Director, IMVA

    Studies have shown that using magnesium chloride with B6 shows much greater effect and we have a great example of that in the original Transdermal Magnesium Therapy book.
