Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle

mineral in its healing effect on a wide

range of diseases as well as in its

ability to rejuvenate the aging body.

Magnesium chloride is one of the best kept secrets, not only in naturopathic

medicine but in the world of allopathic medicine where it is used in

emergency rooms to save lives. Magnesium chloride has a dramatic effect on cell

life

and is vastly safer to use than aspirin. Why is magnesium chloride so

effective in so many medical situations? “Magnesium is necessary for the

normal

function of over 300 enzyme systems, for muscle relaxation, immune function,

cardiac function, clotting, nerve conduction etc. Indeed I cannot think of a

bodily department in which magnesium is not essential. It prevents heart

disease, cancer, blood pressure, kidney stones and improves energy, sleep

etc.â€

reports Dr. Sara Mayhill.

Those who consumed the most magnesium had about a 31-percent

reduced risk of developing metabolic syndromes. Metabolic

syndrome is a collection of conditions, including high blood pressure, high

triglycerides, lower levels of HDL, or good cholesterol, higher waist

circumference, and higher than normal blood sugar. People with metabolic

syndrome

are at significant risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Magnesium chloride is a versatile medicine we can all put in our medicine

cabinets. It boosts almost all aspects of cell physiology and can be used

orally, intravenously, and transdermally. Magnesium chloride treatments address

systemic nutritional deficiencies, act to improve the function of our cells and

immune system, and help protect cells from oxidative damage. It’s a systemic

medicine as well as a local one bringing new life and energy to the cells

wherever it is applied topically. Minerals like magnesium help with everyday

body processes, reduce risk of certain cancers, strengthen muscles and tissues,

and help develop organs and tissues as well as keeping them from

deteriorating.

The biggest benefit of topical/transdermal magnesium

chloride administration is that the intestines are not

adversely impacted by large doses of oral magnesium.

According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studies show that as

many as two thirds of all Americans do not consume enough magnesium. The

latest government study shows a staggering 68% of Americans do not consume the

recommended daily intake of magnesium, which is set way too low meaning these

statistics are understatements. Even more frightening are data from this study

showing that 19% of Americans do not consume even half of the government’s

recommended daily intake of magnesium.

Magnesium chloride is a potent substance that penetrates

the cells with stunning result on cell biochemistry.

There is no mystery in the idea that it’s always good to eat the most pure

whole foods we can find and the same can be said about magnesium chloride

solutions. There are many magnesium chloride products on the market and some

new

ones arriving on the scene. Some are natural ones taken from the sea, others

are taken from brine flows at certain lakes, and now we find a sea of it 1500

meters underground in the Netherlands that is hundreds of millions of years

old and as pure as can be. And then there are the unnatural types that are

pharmaceutical powders and crystals that are made by industrial process using

hydrochloric acid. These magnesium products come in different grades._[1]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn1)

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is the manufactured form made with

hydrochloric acid, and added to water. In this process magnesium chloride is

regenerated from magnesium hydroxide using hydrochloric acid.

_Mg(OH)2_ (http://www.answers.com/topic/magnesium-hydroxide) (_s_

(http://www.answers.com/topic/solid) ) + 2 HCl → MgCl2(aq) + 2 _H2O_

(http://www.answers.com/topic/water-annabelle-chvostek-album) (_l_

(http://www.answers.com/topic/liquid) )

 

Oral magnesium chloride is well tolerated and gets absorbed very

quickly and is inexpensive. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate can be purchased

from most chemical supply houses without a prescription.

What is of concern to us all is the relative purity or level relative level

of contamination. My official position on the pharmaceutical stuff, which

often contains 25 times the heavy metal pollution than natural seawater

evaporation solutions, is that it’s a thousand times better than nothing.

Often in

many countries it is the only magnesium chloride product one can find and the

original transdermal magnesium chloride man, Dr. Norman Shealy, I believe,

still uses and sells the pharmaceutical crystals and powders. My complaint

against these pharmaceutical materials is that they have high levels of lead.

They do not feel the same on the skin as natural solutions but to do without

when in need of magnesium supplementation is like not breathing air when living

on earth because of the pollution.

A typical Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate solution might have about ten parts

per million of heavy metals._[2]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn2) - _[3]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn3) Some synthetic

products only have about 5ml/kilo meaning only five parts

per million of heavy metals._[4]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn4) In general these

industrial made magnesium chloride products

are inexpensive when purchased in bulk and can be dumped in your bathtub for

relaxation and medical treatment. Hexahydrate solutions usually maintain in

solution about 25 percent magnesium chloride whereas the natural brines are

up at around 32 percent sometimes peaking out at 35 percent before we find

magnesium crystals forming at the bottom of the container.

The problem with oral magnesium is that all

magnesium compounds are potentially laxative.

Lead is a problem not only in children’s toys and household plumbing but

also in magnesium products. Jamiesonâ„¢, Natural Sources Calcium Magnesium is

not

approved by Consumer Labs because because it contains 1.9 mcg of lead per

daily serving. Weilâ„¢, Andrew Weil, M.D. Balanced Cal-Mag is also not

approved

by Consumer Labs because it contains 2.3 mcg of lead per daily serving._[5]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn5)

 

Mercury is also a problem in some of the available magnesium products and it’

s a growing concern on earth today. There is at least one company selling

magnesium chloride brine from the Great Salt Lake but federal scientists

studying the lake have found some of the highest levels of mercury ever

measured

anywhere. Concentrations of methylmercury, the element's most poisonous form

exceeded 25 nanograms per liter of water. Fish consumption warnings have been

issued when there was just 1 nanogram per liter. ``We thought we would find

some high levels of methylmercury,'' said David Naftz, the USGS research

hydrologist who is heading the Great Salt Lake project, ``but not some of the

highest (the USGS) has ever found.''

 

The deepest waters of the Great Salt Lake may contain even more toxic

mercury than previously known. That's according to water tests done by

Kennecott

Utah Copper last summer, two years after samples that triggered alarms about

mercury throughout Utah._[6]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn6) The large surface

area of the lake may collect a lot of mercury

from atmospheric deposition. Once in the lake, sulfate-reducing bacterial that

live in the deep brine layer may facilitate the creation of methylmercury.

Preliminary analyses indicate that methylmercury levels in the deep brine layer

are among the highest ever measured by the USGS. _[7]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn7)

One needs to be seriously concerned about purchasing products coming from

the Great Salt Lake and companies making claims about purity and the absence of

mercury need to send you their official testing reports. It is not advisable

to take someone’s word on such matters.

 

Magnesium Oil, a solution gathered by salt water evaporation has been our

favorite magnesium chloride solution until now. I have been recommending a

product from Global Light Network and I have seen it do miracles, even saving

the

life of my oldest online friend. But recently I have received hints of

problems when I was in the interior of Brazil sitting clinic with Dr. Augusto

Vinholis. We had ordered a gallon of magnesium oil and what came in the

magnesium

oil bottle was magnesium gel. Global Light was very unresponsive and seemed

not to think it was important.

I am aware that Global Light had hired an FDA consultant to put a quality

program together, but, instead, after a few months, decided against instituting

a full quality assurance program. Without such a program their product does

not meet minimum requirements and should be re-filtered before any more is

sold.

It is terribly disturbing to find problems like this especially in the face

of something so necessary and positive in terms of furthering the health and

recovery of many people from serious disease. Global Light has been a major

supporter of the International Medical Verities Association and it has been

empowering working together with them to bring Transdermal Magnesium Therapy to

the world. But because of this and other events at Global Light the IMVA has

to announce a total break with this company.

 

The IMVA now only recommend magnesium chloride products that come from certi

fied laboratories and bottling companies though if you presently have

magnesium oil on hand and it has no odor or discoloration I would continue to

use

it but NEVER drink it. Other companies are coming online who will adhere to

strict quality control methods using filtering methods that Global Light’s

present inventory seems to be lacking.

In the last Global Light newsletter (End of August of 2007) one sees:

Question about Magnesium Oil: I have found that the Magnesium Oil makes my

daughter's skin itch. Have you ever heard of this? Could she be allergic to

an ingredient in this? E.C., Canada

Answer: It is possible that your daughter is allergic to one of the minerals

in the Magnesium Oil, but the more likely thing is that she is so deficient

in magnesium. We have found that can cause a rash or burning response. One

problem may be that she is leaving it on too long. 20 to 30 minutes is long

enough, and then she should wash it off completely.

IMVA Analysis: It is apparent that most of the rashes and burning that some

people have experienced is neither due to their sensitivities nor their

magnesium deficiencies but due to the impurities in the product itself.

I have requested several people make a comparison between new and extremely

pure magnesium oil that I will introduce below, Global Lights oil as it is

presently being shipped and the same oil passed through a micron filter.

 

In the reference section you will see the protection protocols for the

Zechstein Magnesium Oil that is mined from deep below ground in the Nethelands,

which is one of the magnesium chloride products that we will recommend._[8]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn8) Such standards like

lot and quality control are demanded by the FDA and other regulatory

agencies.

For the very purest magnesium oil we now have to turn to Europe. Deep

underground is a 250 million old sea of magnesium chloride brine that has never

been touched by modern day pollution and there is enough of it down there to

last humanity hundreds of years. It is so pure that I use it as a mouthwash and

then swallow what is in my mouth for oral supplementation. It is ideal not

only for oral intake but practically insures that skin reactions will be absent

even at full strength. This is the magnesium chloride the IMVA recommends,

along with an atomic state iodine at seven percent solution level, for all

skin cancers as well as breast cancer.

Special Note for Health Care Practitioners: In critical situations where

heavy application is a must, one needs the confidence that patients will be

able

to tolerate without discomfort the application of the magnesium chloride all

over the body. To have an emergency situation where a patient is in

desperate need we need the purest available. I know of a little girl of four

years

old battling brain stem cancer and I know the parents cannot apply as much as I

would recommend because of problems with itching.

Though the small amounts of mercury (0,004 mg/l as originally tested) in

sea derived magnesium chloride products are not threatening especially be

because of the larger selenium levels, which are more than enough to bind and

neutralize the mercury, the underground magnesium chloride has four times less

measuring in at Hg <0.0015. Because of the great strength of the Euro

currencies and the greatly weakening dollar, this magnesium oil product will be

more

expensive meaning it probably will not be appropriate to use in bulk for

baths.

It is my suggestion that people stock and use both seawater magnesium

chloride solutions and reserve this superior magnesium solution for application

to

the oral cavities, face, use in diluted form for eye wash, skin and breast

cancer, use for douches for cervical cancer, simple mouth wash with great

effect for gum health and tooth strength, and for the use for people with

sensitive skin which means all children. It is just heavenly to coat the entire

skin

with.

For medical doctors this is something to keep on hand even for intravenous

applications and for the home users what one would want to put drops of into

their purified water. To gaze on 2.5 liters of it is to gaze on the purest,

most powerful medicine obtainable anywhere in the world. Its pure healing power

and versatility of its use make it a non-option in every medicine cabinet and

in every doctor’s dispensary.

It certainly would be the product of choice for skin beauty care and for

straight oral supplementation. Beauty and health are in reality highly related

subjects. Rarely do we see an unhealthy person who is beautiful or a beautiful

person who is grossly unhealthy. As we lose our health our beauty is

diminished by the diseases we fall victim to. In ancient China magnesium is

called

the beautiful metal and it will bring nothing but beauty to one’s life, body

and skin.

 

One of Hawaii's fastest-growing exports is based on a commodity the state is

soaking in: seawater. Super-cold water sucked up from thousands of feet

below the Pacific Ocean's surface is being marketed as healthy, pure,

mineral-rich drinking water. Japanese consumers are paying top dollar for

desalinated

Hawaiian deep-sea water being marketed as a dietary supplement that aids weight

loss, stress reduction, skin tone and digestion. So valuable do they find

this that they are willing to pay a cool $2,144 a gallon for a concentrated

form of this deep sea water. Two-ounce bottles of Hawaii Deep Marine's Kona

Nigari seawater mineral concentrate (to mix with regular water) sell for $33.50

at the Key of Life store in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, reported USA

Today._[9]_ (http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn9)

The magnesium oil from this ancient deposit in the Netherlands will be a hit

in the Far East where they appreciate the purity and quality of such

products especially because the cost is dramatically lower than the price from

Hawaii. If purchased by the half gallon the European product roughly costs

$3.76

for two ounces. It gets my vote for all time purest, most powerful useful

medicinal substance in the world. Highly filtered seawater magnesium oil would

come in at $1.60 for two ounces (when purchased by the gallon) and has been the

most useful medicinal agent I have found to date. More toxic industrially

created magnesium chloride products would weigh in around 80 cents for two

ounces and we readily recommend them when nothing else is available.

For more information about this Ancient Minerals magnesium oil from Europe

contact _Rob Behr_ (rob) from the

Netherlands._[10]_ (http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn10)

He has the first

product for both doctors and patients and also can ship in bulk to all

points in the world. For orders in the western hemisphere contact _LL Clay_

(jared) _[11]_

(http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_edn11) , which will also be

the first source of filtered sea-water

magnesium oil bottled in an FDA approved bottling and filtering facility.

Distributors for each country will be supported from both of these companies

for

both types of natural magnesium chlorides.

There are many other excellent products high in magnesium content, one of

special note is the Dead Sea Salt. It is both high in magnesium and potassium

and is good for strong mineral baths. One will not find that it replaces a

high potency magnesium chloride but it is a healing agent in its own right.

There are actually many such salt and brine works and salt is a huge subject in

and of itself. Himalayan Salts, Real Salt, Celtic Salts are some of the finest

in the world and are worth their weight in gold.

Epsom Salts are wonderful for many applications and one can put hundreds of

pounds of it in isolation chambers so you can float easily in them. They have

soothing but limiting health and healing effect in comparison to magnesium

chloride, which could never be put in great quantities in the water you bathe

in. For some reason magnesium chloride is hugely more absorbable through

transdermal means then magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salt). Though magnesium sulfate

is equally effective in the emergency room, saving cardiac arrest patients

with ease, it does not come anywhere near to the level of medicinal potency of

magnesium chloride in the transdermal world of application and approach.

_[1]_ (http://www.imva.info/essay_product_analysis.shtml#_ednref1) There are

many grades of magnesium chloride. When making a solution, one must first

decide what degree of chemical purity is needed. Choose the most appropriate

grade based on need and cost. In order of purity, from highest to lowest we

have:

ACS: Highest quality; often equals or exceeds the latest purity standards

set by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This is the only universally

accepted standard. Chemicals are of the highest purity attainable.

Reagent: Purity is generally equal to ACS grade. This grade is suitable for

analytical work and is more than adequate for general lab use.

USP: A grade of sufficient purity to pass certain tests prescribed by the US

Pharmacopoeia (USP); acceptable for drug use. USP grade may be used for most

laboratory purposes.

NF: A grade of sufficient purity to meet the standards of the National

Formulary (NF).

Lab: An upper-level intermediate quality. Exact impurities may not be known;

however, lab grade is usually pure enough for most educational laboratories.

Pure: Purified, pure, or practical grade; a lower-level intermediate

quality. Although this grade does contain impurities, it is usually pure enough

for

use in educational laboratories.

Technical: A good-quality grade used industrially. Use caution when

substituting for reagent-grade or lab-grade chemicals.

Technical Grade is for laboratory use only and are not intended for medical,

drug, food or household use.

Control. Every batch of Magnesium from Ancient Minerals gets an official and

unique batch control number, analysis of that particular batch and is

registered

administered to manage the quality and the feedback.

Manufacturers Quality Control

The manufacturer / deriver of the Magnesium operates on an official GMP

(Good Manufacturers Practise) bases and operates under the quality control

procedures of ISO (International Standards of Quality Management systems) and

has

obtained the official quality certificates from these International

Standards.

(Master) Distributors Quality Control

Every magnesium product that comes from this source of magnesium, has an

officially registered emblem on the label. The emblem carries the design and

text of Zechstein inside. See picture..

Master distributors that buy at bulk quantities, are required to carry the

same emblem on every product that they bottle or produce with the magnesium

from this Zechstein inside source. Master distributors have the responsibility

to give the products of each batch an official batch controlnumber that shows

that tracking of that particular batch is no problem. The (master)

distributor sends one sample of each product of that batch to Ancient Minerals

where

they will be stored as a mean of Total Quality Control. This is needed for

each new batch seperatly.
