Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 -You are very welcome. The reason I stress this so much is because there are so many kids who are diagnosed and on meds that don't need to be. At all. They are simply normal..someparents expect these kids to be perfectly behaved, and they forget how they were when they were young. In this day and age of video games, and not alot of imagination...kids get rambunctious (SP?) and have alot of energy, because well, parents don't kick their kids outside and tell them to blow off some stink! Somekids are more affected by ADHD than others..some kids are very mild..and don't need meds..and some do. I am an ADHD person. So, I know how it is. My father is a wealth of information when it co mes to this stuff too.

Unfortunately it's also an issue that few MDs and DOs have studied. There is a long list of health problems that are caused or influenced by magnesium deficiency. Some of the best writing on the subject comes from Mildred Seelig, MD. Her writings can be Googled. What gets me is that a lot of what is known about Mg has been known since at least the 1950s. It's been ignored in favor of selling expensive drugs. Minerals and vitamins aren't big money makers for pharmaceutical companies. Something that's come out in more recent research is how big of a role Mg plays in immune function. Thanks for the additional info on GABA and brain chemistry. > Simple anecdote - one lady in our support group was having difficulty > getting benefit from herbal therapies and diet - she would get small > benefit and then it seemed that it did not hold and she fell back to > her old symptoms.

I suspect that cases like this happen more often than is realized. ALL the needed factors have to be present before healing can be complete. As I mentioned before, I'm seeing a chiropractor who knows a lot about nutrition and knows some TCM and does acupuncture. I decided to see a professional healer because after 4 years of slacking off on vitamins, most minerals, and TCM herbal formulas, I'm running into the problem of Deficient and Unable to Receive Tonification. Seeing this healer is an education. He also lent me a copy of a book about adrenal fatigue. It wasn't until I read the book and answered some of his questions that I realized that when I made such dramatic improvement before and had no problems with the herbs, I had been on adrenal and thyroid support prior to this. On my own I doubt I would have recognized this as a " missing ingredient " in my healing. Something that had been present back then that wasn't present now. It was only when he asked me if any doctor had ever suspected I had adrenal problems that I thought of the doctors who have suspected this over the years. It was only after reading the book that I remembered that in addition to all the other tests of adrenal function, I had been tested for DHEA and had been on DHEA supplementation prior to seeing the TCM herablist. The main factors - the co-factors - appear to have been the vitamin and mineral supplements, the specific adrenal (and thyroid) support, and the TCM herbs prescribed according to TCM imbalances that were present. There was also regular massage - which I also slacked off doing. I answered a questionnaire from the Symptom Survey Maestro computer program. What came out the strongest was hypoadrenal problems. This was followed by Sugar Handling, followed by a need for B vitamins, followed by Parasympathetic Dominance, followed by liver dysfunction. The Parasympathetic Dominance of the nervous system that interests me in particular. Part of the treatment for this is " acid ash minerals including Phosphorus " . This is supplied by 10 drops of liquid into a few ounces of water 3X daily. It's surprisingly thirst quenching for me. From time to time I have craved a liquid I couldn't identify. All I knew was that I wanted something very, very, very lightly sweet which was also sour or " tangy " . The closest I could come to this was cranberry juice - which is too sweet and I can't dilute the sweetness without also diluting the sourness. Or the old coke a cola in the small glass bottles. The more concentrated Coke. (I don't care what the Coke company says about their Classic Coke. That is NOT what was in those small glass bottles of Coke. The ones that had the tangy " bite " that was so thirst quenching. The ones that were more tangy and less sweet than the Coke in the regular size glass bottles.) As it turns out, the ortho-phosphoric acid solution with the B vitamins inositol and riboflavin is satisfying that thrist. I've also been told that ortho-phosphoric acid was (is?) in coke a cola. > > All of the 'centering' practices help to rebuild GABA functions - like > meditation - Chi Kung - Tai Chi - Yoga - etc. One thing that I point out from time to time on here is that if someone is Yin Deficient, the person may have trouble learning to meditate until that Yin Deficiency is at least partially corrected. The moving form of meditation like Qi Gong, Tai Qi, and Yoga may be far easier for such a person to learn and engage in than the sitting meditations. (For readers who are new to TCM, Yin calms, cools, and moistens the body. If a person is Yin Deficient, one of the possible symptoms is that the person has " nervous energy " and has trouble relaxing or even sitting still. A person who is Yin Deficient can have an extremely hard time learning and engaging in sitting still meditation. Since one moves in Qi Gong, Ta'i Qi, and Yoga, there is less of a problem learning and using them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I take gabapentin (Neurontin) for what western medicine has diagnosed as radicular neuropathy in my left hand. Once the (assumed) inflamation of the brachial nerve branch calmed down, the pain retreated from my whole arm (emphasis on lateral elbow and lower arm, radiating through the hand to the tip of L index finger. Now, feeling in the distal segment of the index finger is altered. If I don't pay attention to posture, not twisting etc., pain become severe as though a nail has been hammered through the finger. Only occaisionally do more fingers or the palm of the hand get involved. I wanted to continue to use Mg as a calming agent but Mg is contraindicated when taking gabapentin. (This all started in 2002 when I decided to get off of Parnate, an MAOI that I've been on since 1986. It certainly was related to the stress of that decision.) In March '05 I began seeing a DCM who runs a TCM school in Asheville NC. Withdrawal has been much easier to stand since I started TCM which includes acupuncture and herbs. Depression was misdiagnosed to begin with. I've been suffering female hormone imbalance all my adult life. My DCM would like me to stop all nutritional supplements except ground flax seed and fish oil. (both have essential fatty acids) In '02 I began seeing an integrative psych-doc who recommended parmaceutical grade supplements, amino acids, progesterone, etc. I was already taking a myriad of vitamins. His protocol grew less and less effective in assisting me to withdraw from the MAOI so I tried TCM instead. My DCM says (I think) that the supplements stress the Spleen. I have a bit of trouble keeping all the diagnoses straight. They have changed over the year I think. I get confused over what I should be eating. Seems that I eat all the wrong foods for healing my condition. Often I'm afraid to eat anything because it will be wrong. I'm interested in comments on not being able to take Mg anymore. It seems that folks in the group encourage it. Also on obsessing on the proper way to eat� not using the right seasoning, eating inappropriately for ones condition. My DCM says to just eat; it's worse to obsess over it. I'm rambling. I apologize and I'll stop now. Thank you for any comments.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Leaving the neuropathy issue aside - much more info is needed to comment here. Gabapentin is a drug often used nowadays for pain syndromes and in my opinion the theory is correct. The base issue is of course GABA itself - GABA is certainly a subject that should be understood in all excess of sensation - it indicates a loss of balance between the excititory and inhibitory functions of the brain - this is the role of GABA. Correcting the underlying imbalance will prove helpful in at least the way we react to pain stimuli. Remember my previous encouragement to 'balancing' or 'centering' exercises in these types of imbalance. the problem with Gabapentin and Magnesium has to do mainly with absorption issues - do not take these substances together - keep them at least 2 hours apart. Gabapentin and Magnesium can have a synergistic effect. I do not agree with taking the very large doses that many clinicans are prescribing for FM and other chronic pain syndromes. There are several new substances being developed for balancing GABA functions. Please remember that Gabapentin nor Magnesium are cures for any disease syndrome they are simply palative measures. It is necessary to discover the underlying causes of the symptoms they are helping and work on those to affect a 'cure'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I wouldn't be able to advise on that on a per person basis, but I believe the general rule of thumb would be something like 1200 calcium, 400 magnesium, 400 D. Some may want to take a little more or less of each, but this is something to go on and then figure out what is best for your own specific needs.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Good morning tp you all, Magnesium should be ideal for lymphedema? It is bad in my right leg and foot. I do have some cal-mag oscal 500 +D tablet (perscription). The circulation is not good and the discomfort from water retention is quite uncomfortable. My left leg is slightly swollen, but has not been affected quite like the right leg. I do have compression stockings, which are very difficult to put on. I'm wondering if the knee highs are an option, since i worry about the circulation being cut off some due to the swelling in my upper thigh. On top of my foot has a purple discoloration not sure why this is. Would any one possibly know? The doctor i have has no clue about lymphedema. He tells me to go online to learn about it and has never treated me for it. I also have lymes disease, which he totally took me off of, when i wasn't improving. I feel i've had it for so long there's nothing anyone can do to help me. I live in Maine, age 52. I had just turned 50 when i learned of the lymphedema and realized i had the lymes disease a year prior to the lymphedema. I have also got fibro- myalgia of course. In other words, my body is shot, lol. I pray i get better, although i'm frustrated most of the time. The pain is high. I told my other doctor that treats me for muscles, old injuries, etc. that i am not able to get out of bed and i needed something to take care of my pain. I could not function! I am a recovering alcoholic over 12 years and didn't sober up to feel like this. I have alot of different vitamins, but i don't know what to take and how much. I recently got off my clonazepam since it believe it was clashing with my pain med. So, now my anxiety is high. My ex husband just died 2 days ago at home from cancer. My best friend just died from a car accident a month ago. She was under- going full treatment. I feel death is all around me and i'm having a hard time.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 This is an excellent article on the importance and shortage of magnesium in the diet: http://www.users.mrbean.net.au/~wlast/magnesiumchloride.html Copy this article or send it to 'my documents' -important! It has stopped irregular heartbeat for me, I take it regulary, usually one tablespoon daily.

I have heard that 80% of us who are walking on this earth, are deficient in this essential mineral. Magnesium is extremely important for our muscles. Many with muscle weakness or aches would probably benefit from taking this supplement. It is important to know to balance this w/calcium. You should balance it approx 2/1 or 3/1 calcium to magnesium. Be sure you are taking your D to help absorb your calcium. I thought this was worth repeating for some of the newer memebers. Fibromialgia is often helped by upping your magnesium intake. Be careful to balance the two, as magnesium alone can cause loose stools or diarhea. If you find you are having problems like this, lessen your amount of magnesium. > > Marsha and the Yorkies > http://www.miracleyorkies.com > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 What is the best oral Mg supplement?

If you soak in very warm water, the body will not absorb the product as efficiantly. Major problems may require soaking for 20 minutes and then wait 30 minutes and do it again for a total of 3 times.

Both methods are relatively cheap to make yourself. Samala, Renee -- -- This article discusses the connection between Calcium and cell mitochondria destruction.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 What you are describing is useful, but not "efficient". Done this way most of the magnesium chloride will be wasted, most of it never coming in contact with the body. To make it efficient, as well as useful, make a saturated solution from of the magnesium chloride and put it in a spray bottle. Spray as much surface of the body as possible. Let it stay on the skin for 20 minutes or so, then take your relaxing warm bath.
