Magnesium Transdermal

Muscle Cramp!

Oh No! A word that strikes fear into everyone that has experienced that tightening of the muscle followed terrible PAIN!

What are Muscle Cramps?

Technical literature describes a cramp — as an involuntary contraction of a muscle that doesn’t then relax – well with that much pain — I would not choose it and it wouldn’t be voluntary is what I can say!

When I exercise hard– after being not very active for days, I usually get a muscle cramp.

If you reviewed the scientific literature on cramps– you would find that  “they have still not found a way to cure it,” and the cause is still described as “unknown”.

A well read doctor may tell your that — muscle cramps are is made worse by the lowering of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salt levels in our bodies due primarily to exercise and dehydration — lack of drinking enough good clean water.

So you get a Cramp:

1.   Stop the activity — if you can, and you are not participating in sport activity.

2.   try a little Gentle stretching and massage the cramping muscle with your hands or get a friend to help you do it.

3. Spray on Magnesium Oil

On the Magnesium web sites — they swear by taking transdermal Magnesium every day. It is cheap and also reduces regular muscle and joint pain.

How do you measure  magnesium in the body accurately, being that most of it is in our bones and only about 1% is in our blood, do we wait until we show signs of deficiency before supplementing? The answer is clearly no if we want to live a long life in good health.

Everyday it is important to receive the full requirements our bodies have for magnesium and those who understand the realities of modern life, diets and agricultural practices know how difficult it is to receive our needed magnesium through food alone. We can’t eat enough, besides transdermal is the best way to apply magnesium Chloride is via the skin instead of eating it.

The Ancient Minerals, Ocean Minerals- magnesium oils, bath salts are recommended by Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, Director of the IMVA are available from the following sources in the USA, Canada and Australia.

These are important questions when we start supplementing anything. Magnesium chloride dosing questions:

1. how effectively is Magnesium absorbed transdermally — about 95%
2. in bath water foot soaks,
3. direct topical application or
4. compared to oral consumption?  — this about 5% good
5. can we take in too much magnesium when all sources are considered.

Before one begins transdermal magnesium chloride it is highly advised that you read the chapter on warnings and contraindications if you are suffering from any chronic illness like arthritis, severe disease like cancer or lymph flow problems, or are taking any cancer pharmaceutical medications. Also if one is suffering from any kind of disease it is always recommended to have your treatments supervised by a primary health care practitioner. That could be a nurse, chiropractor, naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, or allopathic medical doctor. Unfortunately few know anything about transdermal magnesium mineral therapy because it is so new.

Magnesium chloride as explained in Dr. Mark Sircus’ book is without doubt a versatile mineral medicine, though as with all forms of magnesium supplementation, it is not easy to calculate the exact dosage. Absorption rates vary considerably from one person to another and from one form of use to another, even with magnesium chloride, which probably delivers more useable magnesium to the cells than any other form. It is wise, especially if one is seriously ill, to start out with low dosages and build slowly up to higher doses over a period of a week or two.

According to Wikipedia: Magnesium (pronounced /mæg?ni?zi?m/) is a chemical element with the symbol Mg, atomic number 12, atomic weight 24.3050 and common oxidation number +2. Magnesium is the ninth most abundant element in the universe by mass.[citation needed] It constitutes about 2% of the Earth’s crust by mass,[1] and it is the third most abundant element dissolved in seawater.[citation needed] Magnesium ions are essential to all living cells, and is the 11th most abundant element by mass in the human body. The free element (metal) is not found in nature. Once produced from magnesium salts, this alkaline earth metal is now mainly obtained by electrolysis of brine and is used as an alloying agent to make aluminium-magnesium alloys, sometimes called “magnalium” or “magnelium”.

The Dead Sea Salt produces the fines Magnesium Bath Salt — you use it as a foot soak or full bath soak

Sugar consumption is talked about in nutritional education and health care discussions, but our society continues to consume massive amounts of this highly refined substance.  The primary concerns have been in weight control, and in those with normal or typical weight levels there is little concern about the quantity of sugar consumed on a daily basis.  Studies in the affect of sugar on the intake of micronutrients show that the levels of nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins and vitamin C decrease with the higher intake of added sugar in the diet.

According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, the author of “The Miracle of Magnesium”, magnesium chloride is a powerful, versatile medicine that boosts almost all aspects of cell physiology, and “is what you want around if you are having a heart attack or stroke”.

Magnesium is a basic mineral supplement that can be used orally, intravenously, or transdermally.  “It’s a systemic medicine as well as a local one bringing new life and energy to the cells wherever it is applied”.

According to Walter Last, a biochemical research chemist at Bio-Science laboratories in Los Angeles, CA:

“Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as its ability to rejuvenate the aging body”.

Many believe that our aging process is unnatural, and that our human bodies should live and thrive well into the 100’s.  Is magnesium the fountain of youth?

“We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system, and also for healthy bones and teeth.”

Studies have shown that many aging adults are especially low in magnesium, and have demonstrated a correlation between depression and a magnesium deficiency.  Since magnesium is used by the body for its normal, day to day function, does a magnesium deficiency also contribute to premature aging? 

This inexpensive, natural electrolyte may be a key to better health and the maintenance of our youthful appearance and healthy body function.  Magnesium and aging: have we discovered the real fountain of youth?

According to Naturopath Paul C. Bragg, founder of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and promoter of natural health care, gives us a great formula for a healthy nervous system.  This formula includes magnesium, one of the essential minerals known as electrolytes. 

“To relax and sleep better, try melatonin, magnesium, calcium and sleepytime herbal tea= natural relaxers that you can take at bedtime instead of sleeping pills”.   Magnesium is needed in the process of breaking down our food into usable energy producing blood sugar.   According to Dr. Bragg, 72% of our adult population is deficient in magnesium!

Where do we find magnesium?  In many whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables.  We also find trace minerals in sea salts, and experience rejuvenation just by swimming in our ocean waters, a rich source of trace minerals suspended in salts.  Our skin is capable of absorbing nutrients, such as magnesium.  Try a magnesium salt bath to relax and rejuvenate all in one.  There are many approaches to restore our mineral balance.

A low fat diet has been touted as the most significant action we can take to assure a healthy heart. While no one is denying or debating this approach, we will emphasis that a good diet isn’t all about what you exclude, it’s about what you include.

Having a diet that is rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and trace elements provides us with the tools for a healthy body and a happy heart. Many factors can affect our ability to digest and absorb nutrients. Some foods inhibit intake through their high levels of phytates. Digestion can be affected as well through damage caused by alcohol, excessive bacteria, parasites, or the yeast overrun known as Candida.

Luckily our diet is not the only inlet into the body. Our thoughts provide nourishment for the body, affecting our stress levels and outlook on life. We obtain oxygen and release toxins through our breath. We release toxins and intake many nutrients as well through our skin, the largest organ of the body.

The affects of transdermal absorption has been discussed in a side-ways approach for many years. We have been cautioned to wear gloves and protective gear in the handling of many chemicals because of the porous nature of our skin.

We enhance and nourish our skin with lotions, salves, and essential oils, each of which are absorbed into the skin. We also absorb magnesium in the form of MgCl2 through our skin. This allows us to supplement our magnesium level. The sense of relaxation, calmness, and release of muscle tension expressed after application of transdermal magnesium demonstrates the effectiveness of these transdermal applications. A healthy heart begins with a holistic approach to well-being.

Hyperreflexia is a state of disorientation and confusion that makes you jump when you hear a noise or perceive something unexpected. Sure, everyone has a response system, but for some of us we experience a more exaggerated reflex action.

Magnesium levels in the body affect our nervous response system. In Nutrition Today, September 1967, Willard A Krehl, M.D. stated that we do not release magnesium from its storage place in the bones as readily as we do calcium. Because of this we can develop a magnesium deficiency quickly and easily. Dr. Krehl also found that many of his patients with magnesium deficiencies also exhibited nervous disorders.

Magnesium is often overlooked in our diets. Unfortunately, while it is in ample supply in our foods we often eat diets that deplete that supply. Our habits also inhibit our digestive process, making it more difficult for the body to absorb magnesium from our diets. Increasing our depleted magnesium levels have been shown to bring about calmness and a better ability to cope.

Electrolytes are the salts that the body needs for proper function.  Those salts are not just the sodium we find in the salt shaker, but consist of vital minerals.  The primary electrolytes are sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and carbonate. These salts, the electrolytes, are life essentials, for without them life will not exist.

Our electrolyte balance can be altered by many outside influences, such as medications.  Your health care provider will know these medications, and will advise you as to your diet so you can maintain a healthy electrolyte balance.

This balance of life essential electrolytes can be disturbed by one of the most primary elements the world has to offer: water.  Our level of hydration can greatly effect our electrolyte balance in our blood, causing it to become too high, or too low. 

Many of us are dehydrated, lacking in the essential water we need.  How do we create this level of dehydration?  Consuming coffee or alcohol are the most obvious.  We can also dehydrate the body by eating too much processed foods, and not enough fresh foods, or foods that are rich in water content.  Much of our water comes not from the glass, but from our fruits and vegetables.  Some of us simply do not consume the quantity of water we need, and believe that a soda or fruit juice will suffice. While those choices do contain water they also contain sugars or artificial sweeteners that can overload our system, and it takes water and electrolytes to eliminate those substances from our system.

Over-hydrating can also cause an imbalance.  Kidney function is essential for good water balance, and as we age our kidneys can lose some of their ability to regulate our salts, and our water. 

Chronic diarrhea or vomiting will also deplete the body of its vital fluids and electrolytes.  Eating a proper diet, and cleansing the body through a healthy detox protocol will help you to maintain a good internal balance.  Talk with your health care provider if you have concerns or questions about your electrolyte balance.  Electrolytes can be easily monitored through a blood test.
