> Do other forms of magnesium work ok in comparison with Espom Salts, ( which is magnesium sulphate, I believe). Where I live, only magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate( in tablet form) are available
<<<<<<<<<<<


Joe, yes,
magnesium citrate is very good replacement for magnesium Sulfate.
Ther are many people using recipes with magnesium citrate.


Magnesium oxide usually gets converted into magnesium Sulfate inside human body, but I have no knowledge of anyone using it when doing flush (but I am positive that Magnesium oxide may work as well as magnesium Sulfate ( Epsom Salts ) )

And if liver function was impaired, wouldnt that show up on liver tests or is the impairment at a level which bypasses the various enzyme and protein tests.

Again, you are right.

Liver function impaired is a cofactor in all those ailments and disorders:
Allergies, Asthma, Eczema, psoriasis, Celiac, High Cholestrol, Angina Pectoris, Aterosclerosis, shoulder pain, pain under ribs, Crohn's d, Ulcerative Colitis, arm apin, foot pain, poor digestion, most Cancers, AIDS, CFS, ADHD, ...

but 95% of those problems wouldnt show up on liver tests because the impairment is at a level which bypasses the various enzyme and protein tests.


Simple comparation:
If perfect liver health equals white color, and if Liver function impaired to the point where it can be diagnosed by medical tests is represented with black color,
then there are thosands od shades of gray inbetween those two extreme conditions, shades of gray that modern medicine is unable to diagnose by doing blood/urine/feces tests, but shades od gray that for many people makes difference between feeling good and feeling sick.



In the same time, experts practicing traditional forms of medicine, using traditional diagnostic methods like iridology, fysiognomy, face reading, pulse diagnoses, accupresure, acupuncture, palm-energy diagnoses, palm healing, massage, ... can easily diagnose most, if not "all" shades of gray of liver health.
