Magnesium is a common deficiency

-
I have known about the importance of Magnesium for decades and that the best way to increase it in our bloodstream is to get it through the skin  by Transdermal delivery of Magnesium
Dr Dean is knowledgeable expert on Magnesium - here is a good start to increase your knowledge about Magnesium and its importance.

If you want to know how I increase my Magnesium levels, contact me and I will help you out.  The best form of Magnesium in my research is Magnesium chloride. I make a 10% solution in water and spray it on my calves and other big muscles - also along  the spine.  There are many companies now making Magnesium transdermal to prevent the laxative effect.  Epsom salts are Magnesium sulfate which then has to be converted to Magnesium chloride by the body. So it's best to just apply Magnesium chloride to the skin and let it be absorbed into the bloodstream.  But I must admit the most readily available Magnesium application to the skin right now is Epsom salts in a warm bath. At least you are getting some Magnesium easily and inexpensively without laxative effect.  It is not just the laxative effect that Magnesium causes when taken orally, it also will irritates the bowel when taken over a long period of time can cause irritable bowel syndrome.

Hope you find this fascinating and useful. Let me know your thoughts on this rarely talked about subject.  Yes all minerals are important, but it seems that Magnesium is a great place to start. It is necessary for over 600 enzymatic processes in the body.

Make a paste of Turmeric and Aloe gel..it worked for inflamed gums for us.

 Gingivitis... we found a simple solution. My partner was suffering from an inflamed gum for weeks and went to the dentist who seemed not concerned and said "If it gets worse let me know." Then the inflammation of the gum got so bad that his cheek started to swell on one side and he looked like a chipmunk on that side.  We try to avoid antibiotics because we know that they play havoc with your micro-biome and it takes a long time to reestablish a good bacterial flora in the gut. We went to Grandpa Google and looked at what had helped others with this problem.  From the many suggestions what jumped out at me was TURMERIC and ALOE VERA.... Wow! both are very high in my esteem.  And I also knew that Turmeric even though it is a wonderful medicine, it can be drying and heating.  And immediately my intuitions said "Aloe is cooling and moistening, Let's combine them!"   That is exactly what we did. We put 2 teaspoonfuls of Turmeric in a small dish and made a...

Detox Soup

Harsh detox protocols can be very dangerous and many modern day toxins are "hot" or can burn the delicate fine channels of elimination in the kidney and other tissues.  Shaka Vansiya Ayurved teaches that there are 4 categories of toxins. Ama or undigested food that is sticky and cold and we need hot spices to eliminate this type of toxin. So ginger and pepper and fenugreek and other heating spices would work well. However once that toxin has been sitting around for a long time it becomes hot.  We might call it a "free radical" in modern scientific terms. Shaka Vansiya Ayurved (now referred to as SVA) calls this Amavisha.  This type of toxin needs a different approach to detox. Before moving the toxins out of the body we need to bind them with mucilaginous food like barley, okra, tapioca, arrowroot, taro root and others.  I find zucchini and other summers squashes are most readily available, even though they are not extremely mucilaginous.  Then you can start mov...

  To drink Milk or Not to drink milk? ......That is the question. Milk is considered a nectar in Ayurveda.   It is the loving fluid coming form the mother’s blood carrying immunity and nourishment to the offspring   - whether cow, goat or human or whatever.   When we drink milk within 24-48 hours it nourishes all our deepest tissues. All other food that takes 30 days to reach the deepest levels of our physiology. In other words, to make Ojas or all the neurotransmitter and hormones that are essential for intelligent communication and transformation of all tissues, takes 30 days.   Yes, you heard me. What you eat today is not fully assimilated for about 1 month, whereas milk is assimilated within 2 days.   That is why it is considered a nectar. However there are certain rules around drinking milk.   Firstly the source must be of good quality.   The cows have to be well treated. The individuals caring for the animal but treat it with kindness and re...
