Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I just wanted to clarify something I said about getting rid of my gallstones. I just want to say that I did experience a cleansing of the mind after passing what I would consider an enormous amount of gallstones. They were enough to almost cover the surface of the water in the toliet bowl. I know that is a bit graphic, but a true statement. I did this cleanse after my fourth baby was a year old. I wish I had done it sooner. What I have learned is that when pregnant the baby tends to push up against the gall bladder and cut off its circulation. Thus women, especially those who have carried a child to term, are more likely to have gallstones. I experienced a good deal of brain fog and post partum depression before the cleanse. I noticed a marked improvement all around after doing the cleanse. I am not trying to dispute anything about Dr. Hulda Clark, as I am a big fan of hers. But I never did take any epsom salts during my cleanse. Epsom salts induces the bowels to completely clear out, just in the same manner as casgara sagrada. In fact I believe epsom salts are extremely helpful, and have always been a fan of taking epsom salts baths. In fact, around the time of doing the gallstone cleanse I did take the EP baths. Epsom salts absorb right through the skin. I have a good reference that I would like to give on epsom salts: Here are some exerpts from some websites: http://www.alternativedr.com/conditions/ConsSupplements/Magnesiumcs.html Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) ... added to a bath..... Some magnesium can be absorbed through the skin. Getting enough magnesium can help you in the following ways: Prevent hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) Prevent strokes and heart attacks Reduce your blood pressure Lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels Correct heart arrhythmias Stop acute asthma attacks Decrease your insulin needs if you have diabetes Prevent kidney stones Treat Crohn's disease Treat noise-induced hearing loss Improve your vision if you have glaucoma Reduce cramps, irritability, fatigue, depression, and water retention associated with menstruation Prevent serious complications of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and eclampsia Restore your normal energy level Improve your sleep Reduce anxiety and depression Reduce the effects of stress http://www.curezone.org/forums/m.asp?f=4 & i=1071 Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate heptahidrate) have been for millions of years part of human diet. 2% of natural unrefined ocean salt is magnesium sulfate. natural unrefined ocean salt have been part of human diet for hundreds of thousands of years, all untill last 50 years. It is in the last 30 - 80 years people started using refined salt. Almost all natural mineral water contains magnesium sulfate. Read the lable. It's always written percentage. All people who have used magnesium supplementattion daily, reported better health. You should never take the amount that causes diarrhea, unless diarrhea is what you want. Magnesium is a critical element in 325+ biochemical reactions in the human body. Recent research, in France and several other European countries, gives a clue concerning the role of magnesium plays in the transmission of hormones (such as insulin, thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, etc.), neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, catecholamines, serotonin, GABA, etc.), and minerals and mineral electrolytes. This research concludes that it is magnesium status that controls cell membrane potential and through this means controls uptake and release of many hormones, nutrients and neurotransmitters. It is magnesium that controls the fate of potassium and calcium in the body. If magnesium is insufficient potassium and calcium will be lost in the urine and calcium will be deposited in the soft tissues (kidneys, arteries, joints, brain, etc.). Magnesium protects the cell from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel. Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson´s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer´s. It is probable that low total body magnesium contributes to heavy metal toxicity in children and is a participant in the etiology of learning disorders. Deficiency (from low dietary intake or excess loss) is clinically associated with: ADD/ADHD Alzheimer´s Angina Anxiety disorders Arrhythmia Arthritis- Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis Asthma Autism Auto immune disorders- all types Cavities Cerebral Palsy- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Congestive Heart Disease Constipation Crooked teeth- narrow jaw- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Depression Diabetes- Type I and II Eating disorders- Bulimia, Anorexia Fibromyalgia Gut disorders- including peptic ulcer, Crohn´s disease, colitis, food allergy Heart Disease- Arteriosclerosis, high cholesterol, high triglycerides Heart Disease- in infants born to magnesium deficient mothers High Blood Pressure Hypoglycemia Impaired athletic performance Infantile Seizure- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Insomnia Kidney Stones Lou Gehrig´s Disease Migraines- including cluster type Mitral Valve Prolapse Multiple Sclerosis Muscle cramps Muscle weakness, fatigue Myopia- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Obesity- especially obesity associated with high carbohydrate diets Osteoporosis- just adding magnesium reversed bone loss Parkinson´s Disease PMS- including menstrual pain and irregularities PPH- Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Raynaud´s SIDS- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Stroke Syndrome X- insulin resistance Thyroid disorders- low, high and auto-immune; low magnesium reduces T4 Other conditions are also associated with chronic and acute low magnesium intake and further research is continuing to confirm relationships. The following substances and conditions reduce total body magnesium -- Alcohol- all forms cause significant losses Amphetamines/Cocaine Burns- with large surface area Calcium- high levels block magnesium absorption Carbohydrates- especially white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour Chronic pain- any cause Coffee- significant losses Cyclosporin- extra magnesium can protect from side-effects Diabetes- magnesium spills with sugar in the urine Diarrhea- any cause Dieting- stress plus lowered intake Diuretics- even potassium sparing diuretics do not spare magnesium Insulin- whether from using insulin or from hyperinsulinemia Over-training- extreme athletic physical conditioning/training Phentermine / Fenfluramine Sodas- especially cola type sodas, both diet and regular Sodium- high refined (table) salt intake Stress- physical and mental- anything that gets your fight or flight reaction Surgery Sweat Thirst ------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
