Some people believe magnesium oil is the way to go or Epsom Salt baths as these methods bypass the very hostle digestive system. I suppose that there are a whole array of vitamins and minarals that don't get absorbed right. Even with Iodine suppliement one must experiement to find the right combo. For instance since beginning my Iodine suppliement my thyroid level has shot up from .67 to 1.69.
Even with taking Flush niacin and eating one to 2 banannas a day for over 2 years
my triglycerides have remained high. I am taking 5 ius of vitamin D a day and
I'll let you all know in a couple of months if that remedies my situation.

Good health to ya!

Here is what one lady wrote, who used Mag. oil for the first time:

CONSTIPATION
1 YEA
[YEA] 12/18/2007: Fauna from Lynnwood, WA writes: "I love love love, what magnesium has done for me. I was constipated for the last 30 years of my life. I was in a lot of discomfort and even excluded myself from social gatherings because of gas and bloating. Once a week was the norm most times less. I feel like I have wasted a lot of my life because of this problem. I added magnesium to my diet because of a problem I am having with my teeth, and what do you know, regular, like clockwork bowel movements. I have also added oatmeal to my diet, but by using the magnesium regularly, I feel so much better. Those who rely on laxatives are really missing the boat on this one, and should strongly rethink how they treat their bodies. Even though I should be laxative dependent, I never stooped to that way of life, but I know that a lot of women rely on laxatives to produce bowel movements. I feel freed by this information and only wish I had had it 30 years earlier."


Here is what a man from
http://www.herballure.com
wrote he had a similar experience as me
with magnesium taurate. He mentions a more absorbable form of zinc as the one he had been taking wasn't working. He also quotes a site at eternal health regarding methionine.:
magnesium taurate, WOW

Posts: 141 I know taurine is a sulphur amino and many people here believe that they should avoid it. However, I recently ordered magnesium taurate, a compound of magnesium and taurine, and have only been taking it for two days, but have already noticed a total reduction in depression! I seriously haven't felt this good ever I don't think! Anxiety is also decreasing, I feel much more relaxed with myself and things going on around me, its a great feeling since I have never had it before! It seems to be helping my histamine issues a lot as well, seeings magnesium is a natural antihistamine, and another thing I noticed is that I slept probably the best i have in years last night! All this from one day of taking it! Imagine what a long period will do. My concentration is also sooo much better. I'm feeling good in general.

Doesn't seem to stir up mercury, but may for some. I only take it because I am fairly certain my levels are right down. I think a lot of people don't realize that the supplements they are taking are not being absorbed properly. I've taken so many different kinds of mag sups and zinc sups but now that I am taking the most absorbable kinds of magnesium and zinc, I feel great! And the added effect of taurine to your health both mentally and physically is such a bonus..

Posts: 141 yea my magnesium is 125 mg too, i take up to 800mg a day, and the brand is cardiovascular research. Its awesome stuff, i feel great today! THe zinc I take is metagenics liquid zinc, awesome stuff, i got a relief in so many zinc deficiency symptoms in the first week of taking it, of which I never got from taking other zinc tablets. Don't get me wrong I still have other problems, but I think taking these good quality zinc and mag sups I may be on a much better road to recovery, at least thats what it feels like!

Posts: 141 another thing i wanted to say, which i have learnt through all this healing process, is that if you feel that chelating and treating for mercury toxicity is not giving you fairly good results in a fair period of a several months chances are that you probably have another underlying health issue like I found out about myself. After I found out about candida i started treating myself for that, then I found out about mercury toxicity and started treating for that. Then I noticed really weird mental symptoms while chelating for mercury and discovered that copper my be a problem for me too so I treated myself for that. After I brought my copper levels down I really noticed that my health was on the up and up.

Then after I was satisfaied my copper levels were down I still had other annoying symptoms, some of which were making my life very difficult. So I went to see a naturopath, researched google etc, and found that even tho I was taking zinc supplements i still was zinc deficient. The same with magnesium, of which i have only recently discovered. Its amazing tho, ever since starting the liquid zinc, other aspects of my health regime have fell into place and symptoms have began to dissapear. I've also determined other hidden health issues I definately suffer, including histadelia, and pyrlorria or how ever its spelled, which is a chronic defiency of zinc and b6. The histadelia is an overload of histamine in the body which cause a wide array of symptoms physical and mental. Its funny i always new antihistamines made me feel good...

Posts: 141 yea antihistamine definely work for a short period, but they can make you real drowsy and give u that "drunk" feeling. I couldn't believe how much better I felt when Itook one recently, it gave me such a relief from Depression and skin issues, also irritated eyes and so on. But you should only use them in emergencies I think. Also if you find that histamine is a problem for you it is very important to follow diet recommendations until you histamine levels go down.

Posts: 141 just a little update again because I think this is a significant milestone. Just took a fairly small amount of methionine (500mg) with other nutrients to help methylation process including calcium, zinc, b6 and magnesium, and discovered something amazing. My mind feels as though it is becoming normal again! my thoughts are quicker, my brain feels like it is processing things quicker, Depression feels like it is not there, anxiety greatly reduced, great reduction in anxious, negetive and unatural thought patterns. Mind feels clearer, less brain fog. My eyes seem to be working better, not as sensitive to light. It feels like a dark storm over my entire body is finally clearing up! Many of the positive effects are probably due to the fact that my body is finally converting methionine into SAM-e using the nutrients that I was deficient in but am taking now, or at least taking good quality ones,especially the magnesium taurate!

I seriously think others on this forum who have not already done so should look into the whole methylation process and the symptoms involved when it is not working properly. Heavy metals like mercury very greatly damage this process also, so a lot of us are at risk for histamine imbalance and low levels of methylation. Check out this website:
