Poster's Comment: This article has 3 graphs in it - at least one is

interesting regardless what form or magnesium you take. There is also info here

about how long it takes any kind of oral magnesium to be absorbed and how

effectively.

Transdermal Magnesium

The ratio of calcium to magnesium is vital for

cell membranes and the Blood Brain Barrier.

In response to Magnesium Treatments Dr. Gary Gordon wrote to his doctors, “

If you have compromised cell membranes or low ATP production for any reason,

then the cell has trouble maintaining the normal gradient. This is because the

usual gradient is 10,000 times more calcium outside of cells than inside;

when this is compromised you will have INCREASED INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM, which

seems to always happen at the time of death. Whenever intracellular calcium is

elevated, you have a relative deficiency of magnesium, so whenever anyone is

seriously ill, acute or chronic, part of your plan must be to restore

magnesium, which is poorly absorbed through oral means.â€

 

 

There are many forms of oral magnesium and perhaps one is more easily

utilized then the other with magnesium chloride likely to come out on top. It

is

what one would expect from the most common form of magnesium that comes from

the sea. Oral magnesium chloride is very well tolerated and gets absorbed

very quickly and is inexpensive. It can even be spread on your skin in a liquid

and possibly can be purchased in bulk. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate can

be purchased chemically pure from most chemical supply houses without a

prescription and this might be perfect (if pharmaceutical grade) to harden

water

after its been purified through distillation. But this form of magnesium must

be kept very dry or it hardens like a rock.

Intravenous Magnesium

According to Dr. Shealy the most rapid restoration of intracellular

magnesium is accomplished with intravenous replacement. For most patients 10

shots,

given over a two-week period, are adequate. Depending upon the patient’s

weight and general status, we give either 1 or 2 grams of magnesium chloride IV

over a 30 to 60 minute period:

Many things affect magnesium absorption from the gut,[ii] no matter what

form of oral supplement is used, and this seriously compromises oral

administration in medical treatment. Most drugs will adversely affect how

magnesium

taken orally is absorbed or how quickly it will be excreted. When we think

about

the drugs used for children on the autism spectrum, we should be concerned

about antipsychotics used for behavior control. Zyprexa, Risperdal, and others

can cause hyperglycemia, which in turn causes increased excretion of

magnesium taken orally. Many drugs bind with magnesium diminishing its

availability

in the body. Two cans of soda per day (all of which contain phosphates) also

bind up a lot of magnesium by preventing absorption of magnesium ions in the

GI tract. Magnesium also binds with aspartame so drinking diet sodas is not

an option.

Dr. Shealy adds that the problem with oral magnesium is that all magnesium

compounds are potentially laxative. And there is good evidence that magnesium

absorption depends upon the mineral remaining in the intestine at least 12

hours. If intestinal transit time is less than 12 hours, magnesium absorption

is impaired.

One of the major disadvantages of magnesium compositions that are currently

available is that they do not control the release of magnesium, but instead

immediately release magnesium in the stomach after they are ingested. These

products are inefficient because they release magnesium in the upper

gastrointestinal tract where it reacts with other substances such as calcium.

These

reactions reduce the absorption of magnesium.

Dr. Shealy has done some studies and has written a book about transdermal

magnesium oils. According to him individuals sprayed a solution of magnesium

chloride over the entire body once daily for a month and did a 20 minute foot

soak in magnesium chloride once daily for a month. Dr. Shealy recruited 16

individuals with low intracellular magnesium levels to participate in the

following experiment. Subjects had a baseline Intracellular Magnesium Test

documenting their deficiency and another post-Intracellular Magnesium Test

after 1

month of daily soaks and spraying were analyzed. The results: Twelve of sixteen

patients, 75%, had significant improvements in intracellular magnesium

levels after only four weeks of foot soaking and skin spraying.

Typical Results:

Test results before and after 4 weeks of foot soaks:

Intravenous as well as transdermal administration of magnesium bypass

processing by the liver. Both transdermal and intravenous therapy create

" tissue

saturation " , the ability to get the nutrients where we want them, directly in

the circulation, where they can reach body tissues at a high doses, without

loss. Intravenous administration is riskier though as an emergency medicine it

most certainly has its place.

[ii] There are a number of factors that can prevent the uptake of minerals,

even when they are available in our food. The glandular system that regulates

the messages sent to the intestinal mucosa require plentiful fat-soluble

vitamins in the diet to work properly. Likewise, the intestinal mucosa requires

fat-soluble vitamins and adequate dietary cholesterol to maintain proper

integrity so that it passes only those nutrients the body needs, while at the

same time keeping out toxins and large, undigested proteins that can cause

allergic reactions. Minerals may " compete " for receptor sites. Excess calcium

may

impede the absorption of manganese, for example. Lack of hydrochloric acid

in the stomach, an over-alkaline environment in the upper intestine or

deficiencies in certain enzymes, vitamin C and other nutrients may prevent

chelates

from releasing their minerals. Finally, strong chelating substances, such as

phytic acid in grains, oxalic acid in green leafy vegetables and tannins in

tea may bind with ionized minerals in the digestive tract and prevent them

from being absorbed
