Hi Sol; You might try some homeopathic tissue salts. You can get Magnesium phos 3X or 6X sort of potency on its own but I find it better overall to use the 12 tissue salts that balances all the main minerals in the body. Though in Europe it seems this is not sold in this form and all the tissue salts are sold separately only.
I would give 12 tissue salts homeopathic remedies (they come grouped together or singly but get the whole grouping, much better in the long run to use BIO XII, also called cell salts XII and Dynamite by Homeocan pharmacy in Quebec). I have learned not to use the regular dosage (Robin Murphy's suggestion). I would use one pill per sports bottle of water and shake (succuss) at least 2 times to start and slowly build up to 30 times (over a 2 or 3 week period) filling it up adding one tablet and succing a you sip (you need to change bottle as the potency starts to get to high to balance the minerals in the body after two or three weeks. You use this water as regular water for you and the animal. It acts like a great tonic as it slowly regulates the bodies minerals. It adjusts if the minerals are too high or too low. Greatly under valued in the prevention and treatment of chronic illness. Great stuff. Bio XII Tissue Salts are: Calc fluor, Mag phos, Calc phos, Calc sulph, Ferrum phos, Kali mur, Kali phos, Kali sulph, Mag phos. Natrum mur, Natrum phos, Natrum sulph and Silicea Good book "Natures 12 Magic Healers" by Lionel Rolfe and Nigey Lennon. It talks about them mostly singly but can be used in combination to level the 12 cell salts of the body. (I have several books on tissue salts but this one is a good one to start with) Book on tape by Robin Murphy on Tissue salts highly recommended. www.minimum.com click on authors, them M and select Robin Murphy (he had a great homeopathic course on tapes (now on CD), also highly recommended) Tissue Salts can therefore be taken regularly to prevent illness and improve functioning (just like vitamins), but can also be used to treat symptoms when this is necessary The only difference is that they are taken more frequently to treat symptoms and less frequently as a preventative and a health aid. They are safe for everyone, including pregnant and nursing women, children, small babies and people on other prescription drugs. All 12 Tissue Salts act as a general tonic and can help prevent and treat all the problems listed below. You can take the tissue salts seperately but taking the Bio XII combo is a great way to treat and prevent illnesses. IF acute taking singly or in smaller combinations in higher homeopathic doses may be indicated (a good first aid book of homeopathic remedies and a good little first aid kit is advised) Cell salts are ionic mineral compounds that that are essential for health.

Any particular links to share? I have not found a form of oral magnesium that I can take (it all gives me diarrhea even at very low doses).
