A few days ago I began taking liquid magnesium every night in addition to the 500 mg magnesium that I get in my daily supplement, plus whatever I get in my diet. Last night I had leg cramps that would not quit. I was out of bed and standing on my sore legs every 5 minutes, or so it seemed, to stretch the muscles and make them quit hurting. And I didn't even take the full recommended amount of liquid magnesium. SO! No more liquid magnesium for me.
Anybody want a quart of liquid magnesium cheap?

Much disruptive and inaccurate information relating to the Calcium/Magnesium relationship has been bandied about by many persons who do not have correct information......and even less research in the matter. For example, with some notable exceptions, most of the general population ingests an EXCESS of calcium.......much of it from un-noticed sources in the general food supply. Magnesium is, in most cases, in short supply for insuring good health in the average adult. We do not contend that the proportional relationship between magnesium and calcium is of no consequence.....as there is a proven interaction which is important in human health. However, we do contend that the ACTUAL necesary proportions of SUPPLEMENTAL ADDITIONS (MOST ESPECIALLY OF CALCIUM FRACTIONS)are considerably different from a majority of the popular media claims, and overblown in their specific importance relative to stated exactitudes of percentages. The problem of TOO MUCH CALCIUM is, we seem to find, much more prevalent than too little. The central problem revolves around calcium UTILIZATION......not gross intake. The long-lived bromide about calcium shortages had its inception, primarily, as a result of studies (many quite flawed) relating to osteoporosis conditions manifesting in post-menopausal women. My short answer to your observation is, simply, that 1000 mg daily of supplemental magnesium....for adults consuming anything but a nutritionally-starved diet....will pose very, very, small corrective demands on the systemic functions.......at least this has been our experience-----others may have effected different results. We have found that magnesium is woefully unresearched and denied its recognition warranted for MANY undeclared benefits in human health. Adult males, especially, are as a group....chronically deficient in sufficient magnesium levels required for best health. Additional calcium (unless of a high magnitude [over 2000 mg] would probably not impose any reduction of the magnesium's benefits. However, for the previously-mentioned reasons....I do not feel such to be a required component to this protocol. If one has personal reservations relative to ingesting 1000 mg of magnesium without an additional calcium supplement, then 500 mg of some form of EASILY assimilated calcium can be ingested......if only to satiate their personal health paradigm. Be Well Marshall, Brooks. p.s. As a personal anecdote I relate that I have ingested 1500 mg of magnesium chloride daily (without any form of buffering or companion substance) for the past 3 years.....without experiencing any form of compromise. However, I do take two tablespoons daily, of Thorvin kelp....which would tend to ameliorate mineral-induced excursions-----from a wide variety among the body's roster of minerals. --------a -[ Received Mail Content ]---------- >Subject : Re: CS> CS & DMSO:COMMENT >Date : Wed, 29 Nov 2006 12:57:42 -0500 >From : Marshall Dudley >To : [email protected] > >Thank you very much for this very informative posting.
