A Note from a Reader:

“I wanted to throw a thought over to you – I am in my upper 50s and I remember reading a national geographic article late 60s or early 70s I think….of folks who lived to be 100+…the article talked about 30 or 40 folks…from all over the world…different levels of wealth…different occupations…some from tropics some from cold climates…some male some female…most outlived at least one spouse…some even SMOKED! but the ONE common denominator was that ALL had gardens!!!”

A reader sent in the following question. “How does the fluoride in municipal water affect clay/magnesium baths?”

I haven’t done the research on fluoride but I have on chlorine. I have chlorine test strips that I use to check my Athena water filter. So, one day I had the idea to use them in my bath water, before and after pouring in my blended ½ cup of clay. Before, I got a high chlorine reading; after, there was a negative chlorine reading. After that I began telling clients to take clay with them when they traveled so they could have relaxing baths in the hotel and not have to worry about chlorine. I also know it works to neutralize “chemicals” because the lavender drops I use to put in my bath are negated and there is no lavender aroma anymore!

My source for clay to be used as a powerful detox agent in baths and footbaths is LL’s Magnetic Clay. Blend up ½ cup of clay in 32 ounces of water and pour into your bath.

If anyone has any before and after testing for fluoride in a clay bath, please let me know.

The reader also said “I drink distilled water to avoid fluoride, nitrites and other chemicals.”

I personally avoid distilled water. It is devoid of chemicals, alright, but also devoid of minerals which give it its life force and make it an unparalleled electromagnetic conductor that orchestrates the body’s metabolism. I use an Athena water filter that eliminates most chemicals from the water including chlorine, chloramines, fluoride.

Reading Matthew Silverstone’s book, Blinded by Science you will be literally swept away by his scientific confirmation of the importance of good water.

New Magnesium Research: A dip in the Dead Sea helps cure diabetes. But instead of traveling all the way to the Dead Sea, it sounds to me like you can use natural sea water products. Here are two of my favorites: Natural Calm Sports Bath containing magnesium powder and sea salt or LL’s Magnesium Flakes, which is magnesium chloride that comes from sea water.

In the August, 2011 issue of Consumer Reports on Health you’ll find a treatment overview of leg cramps. Based on the latest research, they concluded that when it came to leg cramps, magnesium is only effective for pregnant women. A blog reader sent me this information and was appalled that they said it was not effective for anyone else. He was very disappointed with the report since he has found magnesium (along with some calcium) totally effective in controlling his leg, foot and hand cramps.

Consumer Reports said two studies of people who had leg cramps for unknown reasons found that treatment with magnesium didn’t work any better than treatment with a placebo. They concluded that: “More good-quality studies are needed to show whether taking a supplement of magnesium can reduce the number of leg cramps you get and make them less painful.”

Don’t be blinded by this lack of science! Because there are no studies doesn’t mean magnesium is not beneficial. It just means that since magnesium can’t be patented, drug companies are not going to put up the billion dollars necessary to do a large study.

And don’t be blinded by this report. Consumer Reports’ opinion should not stop you from doing your own experiment. I’ve experimented countless times over the years. It’s very simple. When I don’t take enough magnesium, I get Charlie horses in bed at night and leg cramps when I swim too long in cold water.

If anyone you know is pregnant, make sure to send them this blog so they can take magnesium. It’s a very important nutrient for dozens of pregnancy symptoms, including leg cramps.

Here’s a wonderful testimonial on the benefits of The Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

I recommended this diet to my client in June of 2009 to treat her colitis. She writes the following:

“My case followed the Specific Carbohydrate Diet book (written by Elaine Gottschall) to the letter. I had colitis for about 4 years before I went on the diet. The worst triggers were exhaustion due to sleepless nights with three young children; head colds: and seeing or speaking to my gastro doctor!

On the diet, I had a mildly bumpy first 2 years (but significant shift in symptoms right away, so it was easy to keep going). The bumps occurred every 3 months or so when I would get minor symptoms. After one year I went 7 months with no symptoms, then had another minor attack. The attacks changed in nature right away; they were mild and short-lived. I just passed the 2-year mark (on the diet) and I have no symptoms – bags of energy and I’m about to run a half marathon.

Not only has the diet settled down my colitis, it cured me of the constipation, which I’ve had since childhood (when not in a colitis attack, of course!).

I also believe that my diet is amazingly healthy and I’m so happy that I am cooking and eating such a delicious and healthy diet after all I’ve been through.

I do not use supplements now. I make and use the SCD yogurt for my probiotics and can tell I am best when I’m having some of this.

The book suggests 2 years for Crohns/Colitis to expect to be symptom-free and I seem to be going in that direction. As a testament to that, I’m working part-time in my profession and looking after my 3 young children without any pain or interruptions.

I have also benefited a lot also from mindfulness meditation practice and its message for staying present and in the moment.

The only minor negative (or maybe positive?) thing I would say is that the diet gets you back in the kitchen and you have to be prepared for that. I have managed it through wonderful family support. I would highly recommend the delicious recipes on a website called No More Crohns.”

My client made the choice to embrace diet instead of drugs for her colitis and couldn’t be more happy and healthy! The same choice is always yours!

October, 2010, I wrote a blog called Chelating with Clay and Magnesium to keep your arteries clear of calcium and toxins. Lately people have been asking me what to do for osteoarthritis. That’s easy! Clay and magnesium!

Osteo- means bone, -arthr- means joint and –itis means inflammation.

1. Magnesium will help dissolve the calcium buildup in your joints and dampen down the inflammation. Use magnesium flakes from LL’s Magnetic Clay, 1-2 cups per bath. You can also soak a strip of cotton cloth with magnesium oil from LL’s and wrap a finger, knee or wrist to give an extra dose of therapy to a problem area.

2. Clay Detox Baths may seem very simplistic. But think about it. Every pore on your skin is in contact with the clay in your bath. And clay absorbs toxins from your body through your skin. Clay can remove heavy metals, chemicals and drugs. I use the Natural Clay formula from LL’s Magnetic Clay. Just blend 1/4 to 1/2 cup of clay in your blender with lots of water and pour that into your hot water foot bath or tub. Soak for 30 min and shower off. Do a bath or footbath at least three times a week, more if you have time.

I use magnesium and clay together in my baths. I know they have different functions but I leave it up to the body to decide what it wants to do.

I’ve written about several other therapies and supplements for osteoarthritis in my eBook, Future Health Now Encyclopedia. But I feel that it’s best to detox and de-inflame your body first. You really don’t need to add more things to a toxic brew…even if they are healthy.

One solution to global magnesium deficiency is for people to drink magnesium-rich water. Adobe Springs water has a whopping 110 mg of magnesium per liter. The daily diet gives you about 150 mg of magnesium so just add 3 liters of magnesium-rich water a day and you have more than the RDA. If you don’t live in the U.S., research bottled water in your area and find one with high levels of magnesium and a half to a third as much calcium.

To find outlets for Adobe Springs water go to The Healthy Water Association’s recommendations and while you’re there you can sample some of the thousands of pages of magnesium research that Paul Mason has archived.

The magnesium water website is a labor of love for Paul. If you’ve read my book, The Magnesium Miracle you may remember Paul’s summary of the 2006 World Health Organization (WHO) symposium, held in Baltimore, called “Calcium and Magnesium in Drinking Water.”

Paul said:

I. There is consensus that most of the world’s people are deficient in magnesium and calcium, resulting in vast numbers of deaths and debilitating illnesses worldwide.

II. There seemed to be agreement that there are only four ways of delivering adequate dietary magnesium to the global population:

A. Advising everyone on earth to take pills for magnesium and calcium. Nothing like this has ever been done, requiring behavior modification and decades of expensive advertising and promotion, which often fails. This route is very unlikely on a global level but practical on an individual level.

B. Advising everyone on earth to change their choices of foods to get more calcium and magnesium. This is another route that requires behavior modification and will likely fail on a global level but can be implemented on an individual level.

C. Adding calcium and magnesium to tap water. Most people feel this would be very wasteful since 99 percent of tap water is not used for drinking, and calcium especially can build up as scale in plumbing. Fortifying tap water is therefore very unlikely.

D. Requiring bottlers to add the optimal calcium and magnesium to bottled products might be our best option. WHO will study this problem and make a recommendation in 2008 and is likely to choose this alternative.

A follow up on the WHO recommendations didn’t occur until 2009 at which time they published, Calcium and Magnesium in Drinking Water.
On page 80 is the recommendation that all drinking water contain at least 25-50 mg of magnesium per liter. Drs. Burton and Bella Altura, who wrote the foreword to my Magnesium Miracle told Paul that their recent research confirms that magnesium in water is so much more bio-available than magnesium in food, that just 25 mg in water is adequate for most people.

I don’t think Paul believes that 25 mg per liter is enough and I certainly don’t. But I suppose it’s a step in the right direction. Paul said that the WHO should have extended their recommendation to all bottled and canned beverages, since many people drink sodas instead of water particularly in countries where the water is often contaminated.

What Paul said then is just as meaningful today. So, whether you’re a consumer, a store owner, a water bottleler, a practitioner or a legislator, promote magnesium in drinking water as a simple solution to dozens of health problems that are affecting millions of people.

I’d like to share with you a magnesium miracle testimonial that may be of benefit to you or someone you know.

“As I reached my 78th birthday last winter, it was unpleasant but no surprise that my hands suffered an attack of arthritis. As is common, the pain was mostly at the base of my thumbs, and it was also not surprising that the left hurt a lot more than the right because I’m left handed and use it more in my body work practice.

It got so bad I could hardly use the hand at all. So, in February, although I hated the idea, I had a steroid shot. That solved the immediate problem and the left thumb is fine now, but in the last 2 months my right thumb has been getting more painful.

I just didn’t want to take the steroid path again. So last week, out of the blue, I decided to spray my right thumb every morning and night with 2 bursts of the magnesium spray from the Magnetic Clay people. Guess what? That’s right! Not only is the pain pretty much gone but the thumb, which seemed to be shortening as tendons tightened, now has a longer stretch. Maybe not a miracle, but pretty close to it! I still get twinges, but feel much more freedom in the hands, which is indispensable, as I use them to access the tensions of others all the time.”

What’s the lesson from this story? First, there are safer ways than steroid shots to relieve symptoms of joint inflammation. We also learn that many of us, even body worker’s who know the wisdom of the body, think that having arthritis comes as no surprise as you get older. But that’s not true. Arthritis only means inflammation of the joints: arthr- is Latin for joint and -itis means inflammation. Arthritis is just a word, not a disease. But often if we get an ache or a pain we start labeling it arthritis and let it take hold in our body because we think it’s “no surprise.” The surprise comes when you do something natural and find that you have “control over your body.”

One unfortunate result of you and doctors believing you have arthritis is that you are often prescribed steroid shots or anti-inflammatory drugs. But be aware of this 2011 study “NSAID Use Associated With Risk of Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter.” It tells me that NSAID’s probably contribute to magnesium deficiency because they are associated with heart fibrillation and flutter. But what if your joint inflammation began as a magnesium deficiency?

Our reader uses magnesium oil spray from my recommended source, LL’s Magnetic Clay. I like using their magnesium lotion for muscle and joint aches. For symptoms of “arthritis” I would also recommend magnetic clay baths or clay poultices. You can read previous blogs to find out how to use the clay.

A reader, inspired by my post on Prescript Assist for Dogs, Cats & Squirrels, wrote me about her amazing experiences with horses and magnesium. She says:

“I swear by the use magnesium on myself and also on my horses. It’s worked miracles on high strung, nervous horses, sore stiff movers and even problem horses with behavioral issues like rearing and bucking. It takes a few weeks to build up in their systems but, boy what a difference!!! If I need to fast track it on a lame horse, I’ll put a TBSP of epsom salts in their grain morning and evening. (My farrier told me about that trick) It makes a huge difference, even in lamintis (painful foot).

I had one upper level dressage horse that would buck when you tried to put your leg on him. Not any more. I have an 17.2 (hands high) ex-show jumper that gets too anxious in the ring who is now doing so well, I can’t get over it. He’s so relaxed and happy and it’s only been a month since he came to me. He was nitro when he arrived. Boy you can bet I was having second thoughts when he stepped off the trailer.

Yes, I do get comments from other horsey people that magnesium can’t work because their vet would have told them about it but I don’t even go there. I get results with my horses and people are safe with them, it works. I won’t miss a dose and neither do they. I just had to share.”

A human story comes from a 70-year old woman who had severe eczema on her legs. She said she spent a lot of money on creams and potions and drugs but the rash would always come back. And the itch was always there and unbelievably irritating. Scratching to relieve the itching created large lesions and infections and aggravated her varicose veins causing swelling and redness. It was so bad her doctor took a biopsy of the lesions and said it was only eczema and she had to learn to live with it.

Then at bible class one night a friend gave her magnesium oil to try. She sprayed it on immediately. It burned very badly because of open wounds from scratching but in about 30 minutes everything calmed down. The itching was relieved immediately and it never came back. She used it morning and night. The burning sensation only lasted for a few days and the swelling and redness went down. Now a couple months later there is no more eczema and her varicose veins are about half the size. Her legs are clear and smooth and she can show them off on in her capris.

This week I had a question that I couldn’t answer. “Can Prescript Assist be safely given to a dog?”

I first blogged about Prescript Assist for humans on June 20, 2011 I’ve received more feedback on this post than any of my other 267 blogs.

To answer the question about the dogs, I got in touch with LL’s Magnetic Clay where I get my Prescript Assist and was told the following:

“Absolutely, Prescript Assist more than safe for dogs. In fact, it’s recommended. A cap a week emptied into their food (preferably wet food), or a couple caps for larger dogs. If they are having digestive problems, you can go up to one cap per day until resolved.”

The company also sent me a great testimonial about cats and Prescript Assist. One of their customers raises and sells expensive Egyptian Mau cats. One of them was seriously ill and she was worried that she might have to put her down. The company sent Prescript Assist samples to her for the cat. With her last order she said the cat is doing much better since being on the Prescript Assist.

Pushing the envelope, I asked about Prescript Assist for squirrels.

I know that at least one reader would rather blow up tree rats than assist their digestion, but as he himself said “we don’t always see eye to eye!”

On a wild pet rescue center site I learned that squirrels have their gut problems too and probiotics are used as indicated in the gut flora section.

So, that leaves the door open to use Prescript Assist. In fact, when I spoke to LL’s Magnetic Clay, they offered to send a few bottles to my favorite Squirrel Sanctuary Lovely Lita’s Sheltering Tree Foundation. Thank you LL’s.

While you are there checking out the site, be sure and donate a few dollars to help nurse and feed a few baby squirrels. And pick up some Prescript Assist for your pets as well as yourself.

For Detoxing I recommend LL’s Magnetic Clay and Magnesium Flakes. For treating yeast overgrowth, IBS and digestive disorders, I recommend Prescript Assist. For Coconut products, whey powder and green powders go to Tropical Traditions. For food-based supplements Grown by Nature offers my readers a 20% discount on your purchases. At checkout, just enter the code: gbn123.

NOTE: Only you can know if something is helping you. If you don’t feel well on a supposed beneficial product, listen to your body and stop taking it! Knowing when to Not take something is a big part of taking responsibility for your health!

P.P.S. I cannot answer personal health questions by email. However, please send general questions that I may be able to answer in my blog. But first, google my name with the condition you are inquiring about and see if I’ve already addressed it somewhere on the web.
