Thanks for the further information about Magnesium, Dee. The Phillips Milk of magnesia I have been using has only Magnesium and purified water and something called sodium hypochloride. I should look up the hydrochloride part. I am supposed to consume plenty of salt, since my salt levels always test out low. I salt my food but do not eat potato chips or any of those things. I mainly eat meat and vegetables and put salt on them. Will probably stick with the present Magnesium until I can check out some of these others. MMy chiropractor says the Milk of magnesia from Philips is probably the best of the drugstore variety, unless I would use a truly chelated variety. The kinds of chelated magnesium found in chain stores and drugstores usually isn't really chelated. I forget all he said about that. Ruth<html><div>From Ruth Strackbein</div></html>

I am taking tablets from Higher Nature which are pre-digested form which is supposed to be better (according to the manufacturers) because they are already in a bioavailable form. I think magnesium chloride is fine though, or citrate, or orotate I believe.

I am wondering what kind of magnesium you are using. There have been some interesting messages about magnesium chloride recently. I am using a tablespoon of Milk of Magnesia 3 times a day, sometimes two tablespoons at one of the 3 times. Also take a stool softener. I think that the stool softener bothers my upper problems , though. Am debating about whether or not to try a different form of magnesia. I am also concerned about whether or not the magnesium may upset the balance between calcium and magnesium in my system. Had my calcium tested a couple of weeks ago and it was normal. However, I was not given the figures, only told it was normal. And so often, as with the thyroid things, what is listed as normal is really at the edge of being too low.Come to think of it, the Dr. did say it was on the edge of being too high. My faulty memory. There are just too many aspects of the various possible treatments. I will be interested in hearing how you fare on the magnesium treatment.
