Re: Daily Epsom Salts?

> I was wondering if it's okay to take Epsom Salts daily to try to keep the ducts open and things flowing through the liver more easily overall? If so... how much should I take per day and when should I take them?

You can take 1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon a day.

If you drink 3 liter of water a day, you can dissolve it with water.
You will hardly feel the taste. (tastes like mineral water)

If you don't like the taste, you can take it with a glass of freshly pressed juice (grapefruit, orange, lemon, apple, .... )


> Most people say "don't take Epsom Salts on a regular basis because they are a laxative and you'll get dependent on them".



Epsom Salts (magnesium sulfate heptahidrate) have been for millions of years part of human diet.

2% of natural unrefined ocean salt is magnesium sulfate.

natural unrefined ocean salt have been part of human diet for hundreds of thousands of years, all untill last 50 years.

It is in the last 30 - 80 years people started using refined salt.


Almost all natural mineral water contains magnesium sulfate.
Read the lable. It's always written percentage.


All people who have used magnesium supplementattion daily, reported better health.

You should never take the amount that causes diarrhea, unless diarrhea is what you want.


Magnesium is a critical element in 325+ biochemical reactions in the human body.


Recent research, in France and several other European countries, gives a clue concerning the role of magnesium plays in the transmission of hormones (such as insulin, thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, etc.), neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, catecholamines, serotonin, GABA, etc.), and minerals and mineral electrolytes.

This research concludes that it is magnesium status that controls cell membrane potential and through this means controls uptake and release of many hormones, nutrients and neurotransmitters. It is magnesium that controls the fate of potassium and calcium in the body. If magnesium is insufficient potassium and calcium will be lost in the urine and calcium will be deposited in the soft tissues (kidneys, arteries, joints, brain, etc.).

Magnesium protects the cell from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel. Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson´s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer´s.

It is probable that low total body magnesium contributes to heavy metal toxicity in children and is a participant in the etiology of learning disorders.




Deficiency (from low dietary intake or excess loss) is clinically associated with:

ADD/ADHD
Alzheimer´s
Angina
Anxiety disorders
Arrhythmia
Arthritis- Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis
Asthma
Autism
Auto immune disorders- all types
Cavities
Cerebral Palsy- in children from magnesium deficient mothers
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Congestive Heart Disease
Constipation
Crooked teeth- narrow jaw- in children from magnesium deficient mothers
Depression
Diabetes- Type I and II
Eating disorders- Bulimia, Anorexia
Fibromyalgia
Gut disorders- including peptic ulcer, Crohn´s disease, colitis, food allergy
Heart Disease- Arteriosclerosis, high cholesterol, high triglycerides
Heart Disease- in infants born to magnesium deficient mothers
High Blood Pressure
Hypoglycemia
Impaired athletic performance
Infantile Seizure- in children from magnesium deficient mothers
Insomnia
kidney stones
Lou Gehrig´s Disease
Migraines- including cluster type
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Multiple Sclerosis
Muscle cramps
Muscle weakness, fatigue
Myopia- in children from magnesium deficient mothers
Obesity- especially obesity associated with high carbohydrate diets
Osteoporosis- just adding magnesium reversed bone loss
Parkinson´s Disease
PMS- including menstrual pain and irregularities
PPH- Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Raynaud´s
SIDS- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Stroke
Syndrome X- insulin resistance
Thyroid disorders- low, high and auto-immune; low magnesium reduces T4

Other conditions are also associated with chronic and acute low magnesium intake and further research is continuing to confirm relationships.



The following substances and conditions reduce total body magnesium


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Alcohol- all forms cause significant losses
Amphetamines/Cocaine
Burns- with large surface area
Calcium- high levels block magnesium absorption
Carbohydrates- especially White Sugar , high fructose corn syrup, white flour
Chronic pain- any cause
Coffee- significant losses
Cyclosporin- extra magnesium can protect from side-effects
Diabetes- magnesium spills with Sugar in the urine
Diarrhea- any cause
Dieting- stress plus lowered intake
Diuretics- even potassium sparing diuretics do not spare magnesium
Insulin- whether from using insulin or from hyperinsulinemia
Over-training- extreme athletic physical conditioning/training
Phentermine / Fenfluramine
Sodas- especially cola type sodas, both diet and regular
Sodium- high refined (table) salt intake
Stress- physical and mental- anything that gets your fight or flight reaction
Surgery
Sweat
Thirst
