Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Fully 90-95% of us are deficient in magnesium, a truly vital mineral for health. That would seem to fly in the face of all those who perpetuate the myth that we can get all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients we need for optimum health from diet alone in today's mineral depleted soils and processed foods, processed foods. As it happens, I wrote an article about the importance of magnesium, food sources, etc., awhile back: /magnesium.htm All the best, oleander soup , "judithmarg" <judithmarg wrote:>> You wrote--I have been reading a book about Magnesium, The Magnesius Miracle I think is the name of it.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Those interested in experimenting with magnesium oil, but put off by the high price might be interested to know that Japanese nigari, used for making tofu, is mostly magnesium chloride. It is basically sea salt with the sodium chloride removed, so contains other sea minerals as well as magnesium chloride. You can mix it with water and apply it to the skin like magnesium oil, or take a little by mouth. Make sure you are buying Japanese nigari, as some, especially the Chinese variety, is mostly calcium chloride.
