That is one source as is coral and egg shells. But I think the more common source is minerals such as Dolomite. - Steve N

Rennies and Tri-salts Dolomite powder might work the same as Rennies. It is basically Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Carbonate but with a higher percentage of magnesium. Per teaspoon of Dolomite: Calcium carbonate - 1100mg Magnesium carbonate - 630mg - Steve N ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Sun Dec 13 09:09:43 2009 Subject: RE: CS>Speaking of Migraines....

Rennies and Tri-salts I suspect the electrolytes could be important. Anyway, today DH is not doing so well, and I made him a drink to hopefully stave off progress to full blown migraine. With recent correspondence in mind, I added some ACV and honey. He's had no improvement, and I have given him another dose of bicarbonate of soda. It has all reminded me of something else . . . An old lady told me about 35 years ago that her daughter took Rennies whenever a migraine threatened, and it was fixed forthwith. I didn't do anything much with that information until some 15 years ago when we were miles away from home (on the seafront at Seascale) and DH was threatened with a migraine bad enough to have us stranded there. Four of us in a small car, with nothing in the car but a tube of Rennies. I remembered the old lady and her daughter, and DH took a Rennies, how many I don't recall. Much to my astonishment only a short while later - a ridiculously short time later - he said he was better. We continued our tour as if nothing had happened. Well, nothing had. DH just told me that last time we visited the UK he spent his loose change on as many packs of Rennies as he could, and he used to take those whenever required as long as the packs lasted. I just checked the ingredients of Rennies - Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Carbonate. Calcium carbonate 680mg Magnesium carbonate - heavy 80mg Contains sucrose Contains saccharin sodium (Pity about that).
