I posted this on the off-topic list, but feel that it might be of interest to the silver list as well...
I read in the http://health-and-wisdom.com/index.html site, referring to Magnesium Oil, that "in reality it's simply a mineral salt, in a 30% concentration, suspended in a liquid solution." This is the same as "Nigari" which is a Japanese product (mostly Magnesium Chloride) made from sea water used for precipitating soy in making tofu. I looked in several Asian grocery stores for this but could no longer find it. I went on-line and found it in 1 pound bags for about $9 to $11 and up (way up), with an minimum of $6 shipping. Well, that seemed a little steep to me, so I called up a couple of food co-ops in town. The first two didn't have any, but the third one did. It was about $2.60 per pound, and no shipping charge. I bought 3 pounds for well under $10. At 30% concentration (by weight), 1 pound of Nigari should be able to be mixed with 2 pints of water (a pint's a pound the world round). That should result in somewhat over 1 quart of magnesium oil. So, 1 gallon of Magnesium Oil should use between 3 and 4 pounds of Magnesium Chloride flakes. That's about $10 for me, plus my time, which I don't get paid for anyway...
