Oxalates

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info. Is there a specific name for people who are

sensitive to Oxalates? such as you mention you are? I read the Oxalates

bind to Magneisum; thus rendering the Magnesium unabsorbable.

 

do you know if cooking the Spinach and other Greens lessens " Oxalates?

No specific name that I am aware of. Most people on the list are

parents of autistic children, rather than people like myself.

 

Boiling, then throwinng away the water can lessen oxalates. Of

course one also loses most of the vitamins that way too.

 

I take my Magnesium between meals so it it gets absorbed. I take

excess Calcium 10 minutes before meals so it can bind with oxalates in

the gut so they will be flushed out with the stool, rather than

absorbed.
