Hello
I just had a chat with Mark Sircus, the writer of Transdermal Magnesium, and he told me about cheaper alternatives to "perfecly pure" magnesium oil. I wont bother you any longer, here is a transcript:
zenfood says: Hello, I have a Question about magnesium chloride.
Mark Sircus says: sure
zenfood says: Two questions (these may be foolish, if so, sorry!) : Why is the chloride in magnesium chloride actually good for the body, and the chlorine in water bad? Second question: would a Nigari solution give good results if one cannot find "true" magnesium oil? Thanks
Mark Sircus says: yes Nigari can be very nice
Mark Sircus OMD says: i dont have all the scince and my writings in front of me but
Mark Sircus OMD says: chloride is a natural chemical the body uses
Mark Sircus OMD says: chlorine is a differnt form
Mark Sircus OMD says: one that the body does not use
Mark Sircus OMD says: so its a poison

Mark Sircus OMD says: they dont sell it that way
Mark Sircus OMD says: in the US 6.5
pounds is 55 bucks
Mark Sircus OMD says: you can make two gallons with it
zenfood says: I just put the bath flakes into water until it saturates, yes?
Mark Sircus OMD says: exactly
Mark Sircus OMD says: pure water
zenfood says: RO good enough?
Mark Sircus OMD says: sure
Mark Sircus OMD says: you should get my book Sodium Bicarbonate
Mark Sircus OMD says: it has best chapters on using the flakes and oil

Mark Sircus OMD says: get some of their
Iodine while you are at it
zenfood says: i wish i had something i could take baths out of... i know you can with the bath flakes, but at ~1pound per bath, thats over $10 a bath
Mark Sircus OMD says: yes that gets expensive
Mark Sircus OMD says: best is magnesium massage
Mark Sircus OMD says: person does not even have to be that skilled
Mark Sircus OMD says: not skilled at all actually
Mark Sircus OMD says: or do yourself
Mark Sircus OMD says: just spread it all over your body like suntan screen
Mark Sircus OMD says: go out in the sun even
Mark Sircus OMD says: and then combine that with oral use
zenfood says: i can find dead
Sea Salt with 33% magnesium chloride cheap enough to make bath out of: good enough?
Mark Sircus OMD says: and you will pump in the magnesium
Mark Sircus OMD says: yes
Mark Sircus OMD says: and buy ten
pounds of sodium bicarbonate while your at it
Mark Sircus OMD says: put that in the bath and in your drinking water as well
