that’s really cool- thanks

So plants have the magnesium we need?

Is there any plants or other foods we could eat that you know of that are rich in Magnesium?

What evidence is there that consuming quantities of magnesium is not harmful?

Magnesium supplements can be harmful to patients with renal or kidney problems: http://www.easy-immune-health.com/magnesium-overdose.html

Like they always tell you, green leafy vegetables, for one.
Nuts have alot. And I think certain seafoods are loaded with it.

Time was when many people drank well water of surface-flowing water that had worked it’s way through limestone type formations. I think that helps supplement their mineral needs.

Hard water can have a fair amount of calcium and magnesium, but here where I live in the PNW the water is ultra-soft.

That’s so odd- some of the foods I have been craving (almost in that order too)

Spinach (uncooked) and beets I am dying for now... That is why I like a nice buffet at a restaurant - you can pick out all this stuff your body seems to be craving and not have to shop for 20 different things and have them spoil before you can eat them all

So once or twice a month i take the kiddies and go feast

I take a supplement that contains calcium, magnesium and zinc. Have been taking it for years to help with fibromyalgia. Sure helps me.

“How can you get it transdermally?”

‘Transdermally’ is ‘absorbed through the skin’...apply Magnesium Oil (a saturated solution of magnesium chloride in water) or put a cup or so of magnesium salts in the tub and soak for 20 or 30 minutes.

The best form of magnesium to use for this is magnesium chloride. If that is not available to you, you may use Epsom Salts for the soak. Epsom Salts is magnesium sulfate.

I did not know magnesium makes the muscles relax. Interesting for a number of reasons.

I have severe Ankylosing Spondylitis, an inflammatory disease of the spine. It's caused alot of damage over 15 years until I was properly diagnosed just last year. I've been on Humira since and had good success, but I still have problems with my leg muscles (hamstrings, calves..) always being tight which causes other issues in being able to walk properly, and some sensory/nerve issues with my feet due to my legs constantly spasming.

I'm going to give some basic magnesium supplements a try. Hope it works better than the muscle relaxers I take, which provide minimal relief.

Many thanks also to the poster of this thread.

“I take a supplement that contains calcium, magnesium and zinc. Have been taking it for years to help with fibromyalgia. Sure helps me.”

Magnesium without the calcium would likely be as effective. Some with fibromyalgia also have a problem with mitral valve prolapse, a condition caused by calcium buildup in the mitral valve when there is a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium supplementation will often correct this.
