Magnesium certainly deserves more attention from traditional medicine, and I’m a strong advocate for transdermal Mg. But its important to consider the holistic approach with health and nutrition. Nutrients work together like a sports team. No matter how skilled a player might be, and no matter how important his position might be, its sort of meaningless if he doesn’t get enough cooperation and support from the team.
Your health is an essay question, to which the answer is never as simple as…magnesium. Step one…take responsibility for your OWN health. Digestive health is critically important because YOU ARE WHAT YOU ABSORB. The key is to cleanse your GI tract and digestive organs, and allow them to heal, so they can start functioning and absorbing nutrients again. Find out if you have any food allergies, or infections (parasites, H.Pylori, candidiasis, etc). Your body is an incredible healing machine, it just needs your cooperation and the right biochemical tools… Not food additives, environmental toxins, and pharmaceuticals! Eat more RAW ORGANIC foods, including vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices, seeds and nuts, raw milk only, also whole grains, sardines, cod liver oil, probiotics, and a source of iodine. Cook food minimally!! Drink more clean (unfluoridated) water, limit your exposure to toxins from household and cosmetic products, limit your EMR exposure, and don’t forget sleep, excercise, sunshine, and stress relief. Fasting twice a month is very helpful too. Mimic the experiences of our forefathers. Forget all the studies, use common sense.

Steve,

You can do this, absorb magnesium through a humidifier, but the amount would not be as great as if you used a nebulizer and you would waste a lot of magnesium into the surrounding air.

What kind of Mg absorption would you get if you put Ancient Minerals dissolved in water into a humidifier?

Dear Nola,

With the declining levels of magnesium in our soils and the increasing amounts of processed foods today (which strip most of the magnesium out of grains etc.) you can count on the fact that just about everyone is deficient in magnesium. Recent studies show that over 67% of the general population is deficient in magnesium and while it is recommended that dietary intake will raise magensium levels, the amount needed by us on a daily basis is not easily obtained.

Using Magnesium Oil on a daily basis (1-2 oz/day depending on size, wt. etc) will help to keep your levels at their maximum for all bodily functions provided your kidneys are in good functioning order.

Sincerely,

I have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. I am deficient in Vitamin D and am now supplementing to bring it up to a stronger level. I believe I am getting enough calcium through nutrition but since I am not sure about the levels I need of magnesium I don’t know if I need to supplement my diet.

Can you give me some guidelines on this? Thanks so much!

Magnesium is not an oil, Why do they refer to it as one?

Thanks in advance,

Excellent article. Although I need to conduct more study and research finding to magnesium deficiency, this article certainly enlightened me. Now I know what to look for . . . . Thanks.
