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.
It is felt by many homeopaths that all conditions of ill health are caused
by physiological imbalances of these important minerals.

Interesting mag info. 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). Currently I am experimenting with topical magnesium, 
nothing positive to report so far but I haven't been applying it daily yet.
