Over on the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aboutclay/ list there has
been a discussion over the last few days on the subject of transdermal
magnesium chloride which involves applying magnesium chloride oil to the
skin, which is apparently a very effective way of getting it into the
body, using oil derived from brine solutions from seawater. I haven't
tried it myself but it looks interesting ...
This is the home page of Dr. Mark Sircus, the author of a recommended
book "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy" http://www.magnesiumforlife.com/
" There are over 200 published clinical studies[iii] documenting the
need for magnesium and many examples of miraculous “cures” from the use
of this common mineral. Even DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctors
underestimate autistic children’s needs recommending only 50 milligrams
twice a day in oral form. Not much of that is going to get into the
children’s blood and cells because oral administration of magnesium is
not absorbed readily and is made less available because of all the
problems in these kids’ GI systems. Professor Gilbert LeLord of France
published six studies evaluating the use of vitamin B6 with magnesium,
on autistic children and adults. Their studies typically used as much as
500 milligrams of magnesium with more than satisfactory results.
According to Dr. Norman Shealy oral magnesium supplementation takes
between 6 to 12 months to restore intracellular levels whereas a
transdermally applied magnesium lotion with 25% magnesium chloride
restores intracellular levels within 4 to 6 weeks. Some nutritional
experts now believe that 750 milligrams of magnesium supplement per day
is a more physiologic[iv] recommendation but to take that much orally
might upset the digestive system, cause diarrhea, and end up not being
properly absorbed.
Good sources of magnesium include whole grains, nuts, peanut butter,
cottonseed, peanut and soybean flours, green leafy vegetables and
spices. It's better to get magnesium from foods rather than supplements
because high doses have a laxative effect--the body's way of preventing
toxic levels. But unfortunately we have to come to terms with the fact
that the food values of magnesium have been dropping over the last fifty
years making it extremely difficult to receive all we need from foods.
The International Medical Veritas Association recommends a system of
transdermal magnesium therapy that bypasses the problems evident with
oral magnesium supplementation. (See treatment recommendations) "
