Wouldn't olive oil make absorption more effective?

Magnesium causes diarrhea, and calcium causes constipation. This is because magnesium inhibits the cells of the intestine, while calcium excites them. These cellular effects cause differences in the speed that food goes through the intestines. Try taking magneisum with plenty of calcium at the same time, such as in eggshell powder form. You can form calcium citrate, which is better absorbed than the calcium carbonate in eggshells, by letting the eggshells sit in lemon juice. Be sure that you have a safe source of eggs for this because eggshells are sometimes contaminated with heavy metals. It would be best if you dissolved the calcium citrate in water because it would get more spread out that way and effect more cells.Jib said:FWIW, my dad has nummular eczema.

It's been a few days since I applied it and he said it hasn't bothered him or itched at all since. If I can convince him to make a regular habit out of this it seems like it might have some potentially promising results.
I've made the magnesium bicarbonate. You just funnel in 3 tablespoons of milk of magnesia into a liter bottle of seltzer (slowly, so it doesn't overflow), replace the cap, shake it up, refrigerate it, wait 30 minutes, shake it again, back in the fridge, and once it becomes crystal clear again it's ready to go.
I've had loose bowel movements every time I've used it. Even in small amounts, like a tablespoon or half a tablespoon mixed into a cup of coffee. That is really not a lot of magnesium considering that only 3 tablespoons of magnesium hydroxide are diluted in an entire liter.
I don't know anyone else that's had that problem and I also can't tolerate even small amounts of magnesium glycinate. I just stick to epsom salt baths. But if someone can tolerate it I do think the magnesium bicarbonate water can probably be a very huge help.

I asked thisprototypejohn said:So lotioncrafters 95% is the/a recommended brand?
Spokey said:Ben, your red nose might not respond to vitamin E because the nature of the redness might not be rosacea. I say this because for many years I had redness around my nose and intermittently, dermatitis. Usually these things would improve when I was sick, because I'd stop drinking coffee at those times finding it unpalatable. At first I thought maybe coffee was causing it directly, but it was not so simple. It turned out coffee seemed to increase my need for vitamin B6, and anything that increased this requirement brought on redness and flakey skin. Things like increasing the metabolic rate or stress. So now I take B6 (in a complex) and the problem has gone, despite still being a human coffee pot.
BingDing said:Bump, and a question for haidut.
In the study they fed the rats for 6 weeks before they examined the tumors. I'm always cautious about megadosing, even something as safe as vitamin E. Do you have any thoughts about how long this should be kept up, or if it can be done intermittently? A loading dose followed by maintenance doses?
Thanks for any help.
