Dear Karen,

You should definitely get a copy of Dr. Sircus’ Transdermal Magnesium Therapy Book 2nd addition!

In this book you will find why IMVA believes transdermal magnesium therapy with Ancient Minerals mag oil to be far far more beneficial than oral magnesium oxide tablets…..which are the most poorly absorbed form of magnesium available and any oral magnesium will only be absorbed at about 32-40%.

Both you and your doaughter would benefit from this important book. You should use 1-2 oz of magnesium oil on your body per day till your magnesium levels are up. And you are probably taking too much calcium…..please read the book! You’ll gain a lot of understanding.

Hi, I’m 48 and have been diagnozed with what I can only describe as severe osteoporosis in my hips and mild in my spine, after starting the menopause due to my ovaries being removed my doctor in France sent me for a routine bone scan, thank goodness she did otherwise I’d still be blissfully unaware of the silent disease. I’ve been prescribed a daily 1200 mg calcium with vitamin D3 and alendronique acid once a week. After reading Carolyn Dean’s book about magnesium I understand it could’ve been caused by taking inhalers and steroids over a period of 30 years for my asthma, which explains a lot to me as I have been a vegetarian for 30 years so my calcium intake has been very good and I live in France so am getting plenty of vitamin D, plus I’ve always kept myself fit.
At the moment I’ve started taking 400mg magnesium oxide twice a day, and after reading your articles I’m wondering if I should change to transermal magnesium oil, my 19yr old daughter has endometriosis would this help her as well and if so how do we apply it and what quantities would be both use.

Dear Maciej,

Please consult a vet about the problems your horse is having. These symptoms do not sound like magnesium poisoning.

Dear Maciej,

Some people will feel better right away after starting to use magnesium oil, and for others it takes a while longer. n general it akes humans about 2-3 months to bring their magnesium levels up expecially if you are very deficient to begin with. I would guess that its similar for horses.

You can add some magnesium oil to the horses drinking water too and I understand there are even salt licks with magnesium added for horses!

Increase amounts of magnesium used gradually, and be sure to count magnesium from all sources.

Hello!Great site and comments!I have a horse that is visibly magnesium deficient(nervousness,excitability,stiffening muscles during training,inability to relax,skin and noise overreaction etc) and I checked last 8 months diet ingriedients and yes-low magnesium,and veeery high calcium,vitamin d).I’m using transdermal t. second week now and improvement is visible but slow-could it be that body is restoring bones depletion first or magnesium is ‘busy’ with doing something about high calcium etc. and that is why muscle relaxation is small?How long it can take to be back in normal form?Some people say that it is very quick to see results and to replet magnesium.Sorry for my english!

I started using the oil daily but after several weeks had to stop because I became “too relaxed”, not wanting to do anything and finding it increasingly difficult to find words and remember things. I was finding this with even one spray. As far as I know I don’t have a problem with my kidneys – my mother was having the same symptoms. Could it be that we are not taking enough calcium with it, or could there be another reason?

Hi Jean,

Not sure I am understanding how you are using it, but yes when amount used transdermally increases, it could sting more. If this happens cut back on how much or how often you are doing the spraying or dilute by half with water and spray more often. See if that helps.

I spray the oil on daily and feel nothing. Then I spray and it burns to the point that it takes my breath away. Does the burning happen whe the dosage is increased?
