Magnesium Testimonials

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

My first bottle (from another supplier) went to my daughter so when I received my second one today, I discovered a wonderful surprise. Not only is your oil clear, not yellow, it worked on contact to make my ankle feel great. (broke it several years ago)

Rubbed my feet with the oil, put on socks/shoes and my afternoon has been very mellow.

And, thanks for my second laundry pouch - my daughter used mine and won't give it back! We both love it! Kay H.

Hey you guys I just had to report another mag oil victory! As some of you know I have been fighting a horrible case of poison ivy! Well I tried every home remedy you could possibly think of and then some! Finally I gave into using mag oil because I thought there was no way it would hurt worse then any of the others. Well after 1 day I greatly improved. 2 days worth made me way over the top excited. I so wish I had tried it last week first. Yes I thought about it but never read the miracle of mag oil on poison ivy!

This is my all time favorite product! NH

I have been using the MO applied on my feet every night at bedtime for about a week and a half now. I did not really notice a difference at first. Then Tuesday night, I blew off my MO application... big mistake! I tossed and turned and SWEATED until about 2am, when I gave up and applied the oil then went back to bed. I swear that I slept like a baby right after that! It is like someone else said, you do not always realize what a difference the oil makes until you stop using it!

I had read that people had experienced their translucent teeth turning opaque. I've been brushing with the oil for two months now. Haven't noticed the opaque effect but my teeth are definitely less sensitive to cold (actually, they're pretty much not sensitive to cold at all).

I spray my toothbrush once with straight mag oil and brush. This stuff tastes foul, there's no getting around it. But I've become oddly accustomed to it. Terez

I am using mag gel and some essential oils on my face, neck and chest. The wrinkly skin that was starting on my neck is almost totally gone! I'm tickled! Thanks, Joan. Pam

I've been soaking (not every day) and rubbing the [magnesium] oil into my feet (toes especially, since these are the reflexology points for headaches), I haven't had a migraine since. I started using the mag oil in November. I won't let myself ever be without it! Michelle

I have severe damage due to injury and the magnesium oil has been a very great help in relieving pain. I have no discs the last five vertebrae and yet, I'm walking around and my limp is not nearly as noticeable. I attribute all of that to the mag oil. PW

My DD (19) did the halter monitor for 30 days, 14 yo at the time. Nothing eventful during the entire time. She had *many* sporadic episodes before, that's why they prescribed the longer time. It was when we went in for the exam, after the halter, that as they were doing the ultra sounds and all those other *live* tests and listening to her heart that they found *four* different issues nothing that needs work at this time. Funny how 30 days found nothing, but laying on a table with a simple stethoscope, brought the episodes on... Her chiro recommended *standard process* magnesium and when used regularly, or foot soaks, (not much time for that as college student) she has NO issues, ever. No matter the stress, sugar or caffeine consumption, which the heart specialist suggested she try as pure speculation, works for some not for others.... But the magnesium is a definite plus for her, no TMJ pain either..... Lori

I can't function without regular foot soaks and baths. To me transdermal magnesium is a lifesaver. I've had so many life changing experiences since I've been using the Magnesium Oil. I wish I could remember all the problems I used to have. I sure as heck don't want to be reminded the hard way.

I just started my SIL on the foot soaks with the Magnesium Oil along with Dr. Christopher's Herbal Calcium that I get from Joan @ Health-and-Wisdom.com and within just a few days her leg cramps stopped. EF

Dear Joan, 

We can't thank you enough for your wonderful magnesium products.  My husband NEVER goes to bed without soaking in the crystals and then applying a good coat of magnesium gel on all the parts that ache.  Since his 4-wheel accident he had been in constant pain, relying on pain killers just to survive, but hasn't had to take any since we started on your magnesium products!

 

Thank you and God bless you! EMH

Wow as you guys know I LOVE my mag oil! So I had to come over here and tell you what it has been doing.

My dh has soaked for the last couple of months consistently and it having great results. He is feeling a lot less stress.... very calm, not getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and his toe nail fungus is dying off! It took him a little while of soaking to notice anything. I believe it is because he was so deficient!

Since he was really seeing the results I decided it was time to peg another family member. I put my dd feet in it 2 nights ago. She woke up completely calm. This is a very high strung child. Lets just say you can look at her and make her mad. 3/4 the way through the day my oldest son goes mom I think that mag oil is working for her. I have never seen her not bicker or get upset. Keep giving it to her. Boy after he said that I gave her actions a lot of thought. The biggest response she gave all day was "yeah right". That was a case where she usually would have yelled and carried on.

I am giving this a trial run for the week. She is never calm for 2 days. I will let you guys know if it keeps up. At this rate I may soak all of my kids feet for PEACE!!!!!!!!

Just had to share! Nikki

Maybe I mentioned this, my teeth are whiter partly because they are less translucent. It's worth bringing up again because I noticed on a molar where I have a silver amalgam filling that filled in the side of the tooth, the filling no longer shows on the side as it did before. It's got tooth there now! Mag Oil definitely had its effect! I need to order more!

The mag oil has been a Godsend for me since I'm already starting to feel Braxton Hicks contractions. I'm only 12 weeks but the mag oil on my feet has stopped them every time.
During my last pg, the BH were almost crippling in the last few months. They would double me over every time one struck which was about every 3rd step I took. I think this time around I've got something that will prevent that from happening again.

I stupidly burned myself twice yesterday on my curling iron. Usually when I burn myself--even just a little--I will break out in a welt surrounding the burned area. It only lasted several minutes but it can be painful & usually interferes with anything I'm trying to do at the time--like finish getting ready for work. However, both times yesterday I put a little Mag Oil on each spot & never felt the burns again. This stuff is better than Aloe Vera Gel.  Pam

I've been making iced tea with the Prill H20 since Tuesday. My DH takes some to work with him each day. Yesterday he mentioned he was feeling better the last couple of days than he had in a long while. It took me until this morning to realize it was probably the Prill tea. I don't drink as much tea as he does & the H2O is at home & not with me here at work, so I'm not getting as much in as he is. But I'm off to Joan's site to order more so I can bring them to work & keep a gallon going here & drink on it all day long.

I lost another skin tab today.  That makes one mole (the kind with a base narrower than the top) and two skin tabs.  I have been using magnesium gel on them, making sure I get all around the base twice a day.  It will start to get sore. Keep putting on the gel as it will heal the mole or skin tab off.  After  some days, the blood will be cut off to the mole/tab and it will turn black.  A few days later it will fall off.  Time from getting sore to falling off is close to a week.  I am very excited as I have a few that I need to get rid off as they are in places where they can be irritated.

I have had a small wart on one finger that had been surgically removed, but returned, thriving for many years. I'm happy to report that it is gone now. The only thing I have been doing differently is using my hands to apply the oil and gel to my face and hair. Great stuff!

I just wanted to report that the teeny tiny little spider veins (light red and wispy) I have on my ankles and calves are fading.

I've been faithfully skin brushing and soaking 3 to 4 times a week and it sure does make a difference. Yes!

All I can tell you is my toenail fungus is a nasty memory. The MO works wonders. While the fungus was dying it felt like it was fighting to live. It was not painful but I felt it burning.

Joan I just wanted to thank you for all of your help!  You truly are the best! 

 

I have to let you know my opinion of the new mag gel!  (Since I really was not a fan of the old!)    Love it Love it Love it!  That stuff is truly great.  I am so going to be pestering you very soon for a whole gallon.  I am feeling a little stingy with the stuff.  I rubbed it on my body last night and it felt silky.  Being so impressed I did it after my shower today and even tried my face.  Silky!  This really is a great product.  I think the kids can even enjoy this one.  No one really cared for the stickies before.  Although I do have to say the old one made a great hand lotion mixed with shea butter.  The 2 would leave my hands feeling great.  Can't wait to try it with the new.  Nicole

I just received the oil and gel with seaweed yesterday and had my first foot bath with the oil---I slept like a baby. Thanks, Bonnie Hi I just had to pop in here to say I LOVE MAGNESIUM GEL!!! Oh my. It's not sticky and it combines great with my lotion. It's a great alternative to foot soaks. Oh man - now I think I have to buy gallons of each! I also want to add that when I don't do my foot soaks - my bladder doesn't work as well. With my foot soaks - just like before I had my kids. Wendy You know I just stumbled across your website one day when I was looking for something to help my hip bursitis and sore Achilles tendon.  My Achilles feels so much better after soaking my feet in mag oil for around 3 weeks and rubbing the oil on the hurting spot. Pat Thank you so much for your fantastic products!! They have stopped terrible migraine headaches and long-term insomnia!!! Cannot thank you enough:)!!!! Michele Guess what I started noticing that I'm missing??!!!?? I am missing my crow's feet at my eye corners. They come back when I smile, BUT they are not there all the time like before. When I am not smiling, I don't have them. I am also loosing my forehead furrows. I only have them on the left side now and they are diminished. I am looking younger. YEA!!!! I love my ACV, Magnesium Oil and VCO. It's making a difference in my body. Bev I clean houses for a living and I have always struggled with my dry hands. This past weekend I noticed that they were not dry at all.  They were smooth and soft.  I started washing with Apple Cider Vinegar and water instead of soap about a month ago.  The ACV balances the PH of your skin and washes away all that soap build up.  It's great!!  I also have been putting Magnesium Gel and Cayenne Salve on my spider veins on my legs.  So, I am slathering away with the MG, getting it all over my legs and hands.  Same with the cayenne salve.  The combination of the three things has made a difference with my hands.  I am thrilled.  I never thought to see soft, smooth hands again. Plus, my spider veins are getting better too!!  Bev I can move my toes again..( arthritis), I can move my back and shoulders without pain. (DH rubs the mag. oil every evening on my back) I brush my teeth with te mag. oil. Also use the prill-water. At this moment I'm measure the ph from my urine (I'm loosing a lot of hair ) When I come out bed the ph is 5..but after 750 Ml. prill-water...it is ph7!!! - Dia in Holland I have been using the magnesium oil and gel. Heading into my third month. I sleep better. I used to take melatonin, but don't have to anymore. Did you know that your body needs magnesium to produce melatonin? Makes so much sense. Stress is not as hard on me. Anxiety has diminished. I put it on my face, the bags under my eyes aren't as swollen, my pores are definitely getting smaller. I also carefully put it on my eyelids and my eyes don't get as tired anymore. I had read about using an oil that way for dry eyes and decided to try it with MO. I put it on my spider veins and have noticed improvement. I do AL to get the sluggish blood out of the leg, put on the magnesium gel, follow it with Joan's wonderful cayenne salve [Dr. Christopher's Cayenne Heat Ointment] and put the feet up for 20 min. (By the way, Joan, I love the smell of the salve.) I soak my feet about 2-3 times a week or whenever I have had a stressful day or am especially tired. We use the gel on bumps and bruises. I put it on cuts or scrapes, peel myself off the ceiling, and watch it heal faster. I brush my teeth with the oil-I'm up to full strength now. My teeth were translucent, but now the enamel is rebuilding again. I could tell a difference within days. Dh says if it is doing this for your teeth, think what it is doing inside your body. I put some MO in my shampoo and use the gel in my hair when I am ready to style it. I also use virgin apple cider and prill water as a rinse for my hair. My hair has always been limp and would lose whatever curl I managed to get in it by noon. Now, it is shiny and manageable and holds the style all day, sometimes into the next day. We also have the prills and love the taste of our water now. We want to get the laundry prills also. But I am so pleased with the MO and gel, I would not like to be without it again. Bev It's me again. Just have to report on my laundry prills. Yes, I love them. The clothes smell so fresh. AND I can't believe the amount of suds I get from the little bit of soap I put it. :D And I can use it forever!!!! Thanks again Joan, Bev I just wanted to pop in with yes anther success story for Mag oil. I had an employee tell me about his 11 yo son who had a rash all over his belly, back and legs. Mom was rubbing a steroid cream on it. So I gave him some Mag oil and told me to dilute it so it didnt burn him. His mom called me last night to say thank you cause the rash is almost gone and within 10 min of spraying it he said it felt better!!  Kim However, I also put magnesium oil into my shampoo (just put shampoo in palm, add a bit of Mg oil and mix, and wash! And it does appear as if a little bit of the original color is returning to my hair. (I read about that possibility on this site). I'm not quite the ol' grey ghost in the rearview mirror now.   HTH I haven't been using the mag oil for all that long but I have already noticed some major improvements. the very first night I soaked my feet, I didn't wake up with horrible foot cramps. I still get them but ONLY on nights that I forget to soak or am just too tired and/or lazy to do it. now I make sure that if I don't soak, I at least spray my feet down with the mag oil before I put on my socks and go to bed. another thing I have noticed some improvement in is my anxiety levels. as long as I continue to soak, the level of anxiety I have the next day is tolerable. If I don't soak or spray my feet with the oil, the next day im usually having to sedate myself with some relaxant herbs of some kind just to get thru the day. gotta love the mag oil!!! Type II diabetes experiment. Last night I did a hot stone/magnesium gel massage on a person with Type II (severe). Before we started she check her blood sugar - 260. I wanted to try a massage with hot stones to see if more magnesium gel would be absorbed - that's exactly what happened. Hot stones are normally contra-indicated for someone with Type II - due to lesser sensations in the extremities. I used the hot stones mainly on the core - not on the extremities. Also, I add some essential oils to my magnesium gel (w/seaweed extract from Joan). The oils I usually add are for relaxation, increased circulation and scar tissue release. After a one hour hot stone/mag. gel massage her blood sugar tested at....drum roll......140. Jane

I am so excited, today I went to the Dentist, and had the grading thing done, last year the numbers were mostly 4's and 5's. Today there was only one 5 and a few 4's, the rest were 2's and 3's. I have only been brushing with straight MO for about 2 months now. Just think what it would have been like if had been brushing with MO longer.

Donna

We brush our teeth with mag. chloride oil (2 oz spray bottle) mixed with 20 drops of peppermint oil.  At my last routine dental cleaning, the hygienist asked me if I was using a tooth whitening product. She told me my teeth had NO plaque on them and that my gums were so healthy looking - she wanted to know what I was doing.  My children have also been receiving compliments from their dentist visits on their "excellent brushing!"  Their teeth look so white and healthy!  My 19 yo daughter was skeptical, but after brushing only 2 times with my homemade tooth spray, the white lines (hygienist said they were calcium deposits) that were on her teeth disappeared.  She is a regular brusher with mag. oil now!!   Sue

Update on prill water and plants.

I've been meaning to post this. I first ordered prill beads in October and I started using it on my plants (in addition to drinking it myself and adding it to my bedroom humidifier). As you might expect, the plants love it and thrive with it.

Well, last spring I had bought a cute little begonia at the dollar store. I checked the American Begonia Society's web page where it said that this particular type is "ever-blooming." On a whim I decided to pot it and keep it indoors to enjoy it's pretty pink flowers all summer. But once the original flowers died and I pinched them off there were no more blossoms. I kept the plant on my plant stand anyway, just for the bright, waxy foliage.

Since starting prill water I've had continuous blossoming!!! There are 3 new buds right now. It would have been nice to have it in bloom all summer but it's absolutely wonderful and uplifting to see the flowers in the fall and winter at the period of time when the days are the shortest here in the cold, dark northeast.

My hair on the other hand is amazing!! I started the mag gel in my hair mid July and had it trimmed of all dead ends August 1st. I wash with magnesium gel/shampoo and rinse with 50/50 ACV&H2O. After towel drying I apply magnesium gel into my hair and it really helps in getting the brush through my long and thick hair. My hair is so soft and shiny!! 5 months after that haircut I have very few split ends! Amazing! I will also add that I rarely use hairspray and the mag gel has taken the place of styling gel and I rarely use a hair dryer.

Also, I gave my MIL some mag gel and she's been using it in her hair. I couldn't believe it when we saw her 3 weeks later! Her hair is darkening just from using the mag gel in her hair! I find it amazing how she's reacting so fast to the gel...she obviously needed it. I told her not everyone will get color back so fast so she's feeling quite fortunate!

So...if you are feeling good results with soaking...stick with it!

Ok, update on my spider veins. I had a spider vein on my left leg that had a 1 1/2" diameter pool of blood under the skin. There was an area about 3" that had that dark blue vein color. I started putting magnesium gel on it. First, the pool of blood which was just liquid and solid dark blue, started to have veins in there that I could feel. They were swollen, but much better than no veins at all. Now, I still feel the veins, but they are much smaller. AND the dark blue is only on the veins and regular skin color is popping up in between the veins where there was just a pool of blood before!!

So, I would have to say yes, that MG does help veins. I just ordered some cayenne ointment to help the MG to penetrate a little more. And yes, I am using it on all my varicose veins-the big pooches up the side of my leg. If it helps the little ones, it's got to help the big ones. I do AL morning and evening, before I put on the gel. In the morning, I put on my Leggs Active Support on immediately after the gel. In the evening, I do AL on my bed, put on the gel and go to sleep without getting out of bed.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S WORKING!!!!!! I have only been using it about 3 weeks.

Bev

DH and I are both using the magnesium gel on our hair. He does not usually show interest in hair care products, but he does like the way his hair does not fly away when he uses the gel. He is also using it on his feet, especially his heels and says it is taking care of the cracking and dryness. My hair feels so much better since using the gel also. We are both using it on our faces and are seeing good results. Many thanks, Joan. I love getting all this education from such a great forum.

Well the other day I was in linens and things and while standing at the checkout to buy more Ped Eggs, which by the way are great, I noticed a 10x magnifying mirror and picked it up almost scared to look and WOW!!! My skin looked GREAT!!! I use the mo gel everyday and most nights before I moisturize with CO. My pores looked very good, I was very pleased! I also have to brag on my nails. Usually when my nails start to look good with impressive length, and I am noticing them, I start to get scared because seems the minute I do, they start to break. For the past few weeks I have tried to not admire them BUT I just can't help it, they look wonderful and they are strong. It has to be the mo gel because when I do my face I always massage the residue gel into my nails and cuticles. I had been using the MO for a while when I told Joan I hadn't noticed the nail thing that others do and she ask me if I was massaging into my nails and thus a new habit was born. Boy has it paid off! Yolanda

Hi Girls!
I went to the dentist today for my semi-annual cleaning. I have been brushing with fine sea salt and baking soda (equal parts) and about 10 drop of MO.
The gal that does the cleaning usually uses some sonic thing to clean the plaque or tarter (whichever) before she does any scraping or digging. This time she exclaimed "Goodness you have such a small amount of cleaning to do I don't need to use anything but a little bit of scraping with a pick." Took her only a few minutes and she just kept talking about the wonderful condition of my teeth, she called in the dentist to look them over. It almost got embarrassing. They had always been in pretty good shape. I almost didn't need cleaning, just polishing. I told her I was using salt and soda, but did not mention the MO, wanted to get on my way, and didn't want to prolong the Oh's and ah"s. Will tell then in June when I go back. Oh, another thing. I had a jaw tooth that was "mobile" according to the Dentist (I couldn't tell anything) and she checked it and said," Goodness that tooth is no long mobile! You are taking excellent care of your teeth!! sure made a short story long. Give this a try. DT

Just wanted to add that there growing mommies [pregnant] love it [Magnesium Oil] too! Really the mo has made a huge difference for me. It should be on all of Santa's wish lists! Nikki

So far, I am only pleased. I diluted the MO 50% with distilled aloe and have been using it mostly at night after washing and then putting Shea butter over as a moisturizer. Even at that dilution, it still tingles and my face gets a little pink. Not painful, just tingly. It appears to already be helping to firm up the skin on my cheeks and maybe is helping the large pores on my nose to shrink (but then, that might just be me wishing too hard!)

Anyway, I love it when you caution us to take things slow--it helps to reinforce my own realization that no matter what miracles someone else reports, a substance is only good for my body if I actually need it Heather

I finally ordered some magnesium oil and gel. I did a foot soak last night with the MO and used the gel on my body. Today I have used the gel on my body and in my hair. The gel feels very nice on my skin. It is not sticky at all. I do not notice much of an odor. It is barely noticeable and not a bad smell. The smell dissipates after the gel absorbs. My skin feels noticeably tighter and my hair feels more smooth and looks shinier. I have used the gel on my face. It did not sting and had a firming effect on my face.

Today, I feel more calm. I am usually very, anxious. I have restless legs also. Today I feel much more calm than I have felt in a long time. Joan shipped my order lightening fast and she has been so helpful answering questions.

I plan on using this from now on.

Thanks Cindy

I just want to let everyone know what great results I have had using MO. I have been using straight MO on my face for about 4 months and I just noticed that my sagging eye lids are lifting. Being 50 + you know how those eyelids can sag. My right eye lid use to sag to about the middle of my pupil, I noticed the other day that I can see my whole pupil on my right eye now. So excited.

Donna

I just wanted to share my experience:

1. I use the MO straight on my face. I had (yes, 'had') two dry patches running down the sides of my mouth. When I first applied the MO, this area turned very red and it burned! Joan or someone (forgive me here) said that the 'redness' is likely coming from the MO bringing blood to that area. Now, how the MO knew that I was 'damaged' in these spots is beyond me!

2. I have been using MO straight for over a month and my face no longer gets red anywhere. My dry patches are mostly gone (time will tell for sure if this is permanent).

3. I have had to start rinsing my face after the white residue appears. If I don't, my face gets very dry.

4. My GF at work at these itchy patches all over her body. They drove her nuts and kept her up at night. No doctor could help her and she tried every cream imaginable (both prescription and over the counter). I gave her some MO to try and they are virtually 'itch free'! Yippee! They are still there a bit and they itch a little, but she said nothing has helped her like the MO. (I then gave some to another GF for her hives. I have no idea what this will do for her, but will report back once she has had an opportunity to use it.)

5. I was breaking out on my face for a long time when I first started using the MO. It has gotten much better and the pimples now are just whitehead-like versus actual 'pimples'. DA

After the post about using the OIL faithfully on the face day and night (which I had stopped doing when I got the gel) and looking younger (congrats!) I went back to using the oil on my face night and day and you know, it really does make a big difference in toning my skin.

I still will put the gel on later and the VCO but the OIL is a must for looking more toned. Pamela

On another very positive note, I fell the day before Thanksgiving (2 weeks ago) and had a HUGE deep purple bruise (think dinner plate size and a purple darker than the header at the top of this page) on my left thigh. Man, it hurt and was swollen for several days. I couldn't wear jeans because they were too tight. Anyway, I began rubbing in MO and MG into it a couple of times a day. When I could, I began to do PBS and HDs to get the lymph flowing. It's now two weeks later...and the bruise is almost completely GONE! Not lighter purple, not green, not yellow - GONE! Just a slight ring around the edges (looks like a nebula). It still has a knot on the muscle but that fades more each day. AMAZING STUFF!

And Joan, feel free to add THAT story to your website! VD

I just wanted to pop in and tell of my update with MG (which I love love love).
I use it religiously on my face AM & PM. I also use it AM on my entire body.

I was at my mechanics shop talking to him and mid conversation HE said "You look 10 years younger"!!!! And I thought thanks MG!!!!

I will have to try it on my teeth now too.

Thanks Joan! Kim

My gums look so much better also. DS has red and infected gums. I have gotten him started on the MO. He hates the taste, but his gums are improving. Bev

I like the baby carrots and sometimes they get a little dry. I pour some Prill water in the bag and they perk right up again and the sweetness returns. Eileen

I love brushing with MO and peppermint essential oil and my teeth and gums look better than they have looked for years. Now I smile a lot more just to show them off I ordered the tooth powder today in the hope it will take the whole procedure one step further.

I'm sorry I don't remember who posted the tip about soaking wilted lettuce in prill water, but it's really great. Now I soak all my greens in prill water - wilted or not - they are much crisper and taste better.

Pat

I could not stand the headache any longer and decided to try a foot soak. I am happy to report approx. 20 min. later the headache and nausea were gone. Brenda

I had a splitting headache Saturday night and decided to go ahead and do my MO soak before going to bed, hoping for a great night's sleep. By the time the soak was done and I was getting into bed, I realized the headache was almost gone. I didn't really do anything else, so it must have been the MO. MG

My teeth are continuing to improve. The transparency is continuing to go. Yea!! I am just using the MO 50% with prill water. I am so pleased to have found an answer to this problem. I will have to look into the tooth pdr also.

The last week I have been getting truly tired and cranky late afternoon and evening. I also noticed more general achiness at night. Yesterday afternoon, I actually took a look at the MO I was soaking my feet in before putting my feet in there. It was almost black. Uck!! Got new MO in there and soaked. I am feeling 100% better today. No tiredness or crankiness tonight. I will keep an eye on the appearance of my foot soak and be aware of the signs that it needs to be changed. BE

My DS has had issues being regular and really having to strain. It runs in our family and since faithfully (as opposed to sporadically) doing the foot soaks he has been regular! He no longer strains and has those hemorrhoids as a result. Sometimes it's more than the type of food needed for fiber and activity levels. It could be magnesium!

So he is going at least once and more often twice a day and not straining and much happier!

Yes!

Pamela

p.s. Me too!!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention how lovely and clean smelling my laundry room smells today! I have been doing load after load of laundry with my new laundry prill pouch and I am amazed at how noticeable the difference in smell is. I am backing down on the amount of detergent that I add on each load I've done and each one looks as clean as the one before it! (I have 3 active (translate: dirty!!) boys 14, 11 and 7 and I am a bit hesitant to give up my Tide yet).

Love this thread and all that I have learned from you all! ~Mary

Coolest Thing with Mag Oil!

When I was in SH this year, Michelle and Rhonda had the CUTEST French manicure on their toes! I told Rhonda I'd love to have it, but I had to wait until this "patch" of damage from nail polish grew out on my nails. Rhonda said I could have it buffed out / or ground off....or something like that from a professional....but I never got around to it.

Anyhow, for all this time, I assumed the only way of removal was to have the nail grow out. I'm not sure how to explain it, but on the nails of my big toes, the nail had a white discoloring from polish. I nearly always have polish on my nails, but I removed it a few days ago intending to reapply but hadn't gotten around to it.

Last night was the 1st time I soaked my feet in mag oil with polish "naked" toe nails. When finished soaking, and wiping off my nails........I thought? hey, what's happening to the white stain from previous polish??? As I continued to rub with the towel, the "white" stain completely vanished.

So now, I think....this "white" stain is actually a drying of the nail surface, much like how dry skin is white and flaky. Well, we all know how great mag oil is at removing dry skin and APPARENTLY it does the same for our nails!

I am so thrilled! I can now go polish "naked" and have great looking nails on my toes!

So not only does mag oil give effortless manicures with cuticle removal, it also repairs and removes "dead" nail surfaces!

Gotta love the simplicity of it all.

Oh...my kids get irritated with me if I try to give them anything but prill water! Even my two year old will stand there pointing, "NO! That water!!!" They are drinking more. I just bring the pitcher to the dinner table now cause of the refills.

Thanks Joan!

Hi Joan,
I want to say service was excellent! Your personally signed thank you note was a nice touch.
The Ultimate Bath was relaxing and I did a foot soak the next day full strength w/no stinging. I sprayed mag oil on after bath and was a little stingy, only till it dried. I am really impressed with the laundry prills, DH is also. I did several loads w/no detergent including DH horrible work clothes (chain oil, gas, diesel fuel), everything came out clean, smelled like I dried them outside and they were soft w/ no fab soft.

Wow!!! Wow!!! I first got interested in this thread, cause of spraying MO on the teeth, but lost that as I read more and found out more about the advantages of MO and ways to use it. Less than a week ago, maybe 4 days ago, I started spraying and brushing with 50/50 MO and prill water. My teeth were almost translucent. I have to tell you that I can tell a difference in my teeth from day to day. DH has even noticed it. My enamel is coming back and my teeth are looking so much better. I am loosing the translucency (don't even know if that's a word) and I am so glad. I would say it's about 60% gone. I never imagined such a quick change. I am so glad I got the MO.

Thanks again to Joan and this thread!!

I had a bruise on the back of my leg down near the ankle, I winged a ligament and had a sore stingy response to touch. When I put the gel on, the hurt goes away in less than a minute. But I also noticed the bruising seems to be going faster also. I have decided to put on the gel regularly for awhile instead of waiting till it hurts.

I also love the MO (50/50) on my face. It stings a little, but that goes away soon. I follow with CO and find myself looking for reasons to do it in the middle of the day.

I've been soaking my feet in the MO for about a week now. We went out of town this weekend, so taking the tub of MO wasn't an option. I did bring the bottle of it and rubbed my feet with it liberally every night. Then when I got home on Saturday night, I soaked my feet for about 10 minutes. WOW...what a difference! It's true that sometimes you don't know how well something is working until you don't do it anymore. My legs felt so relaxed, and I just drifted off to sleep so easily. Yet, even just rubbing my feet with MO while I was gone, I didn't notice any negative effects. It was just that the soaking felt so much more "intense."

Another thing that happened was that my chiropractor commented that my back and neck were much easier to adjust than last time. In fact, he said it was the easiest that he's ever adjusted me. I told him briefly about the MO and promised to send him more info. Whenever I've had headaches, or sometimes just before going to bed, I've massaged the MO or MG into my neck and upper back, so it must be making the muscles less constricted (an amazing feat for me!).

I have had a muscle under my left breast that has been cramping on and off for years-8-10. I always feel it when I do the runners stretch in B/R. I did the runners stretch today for the first time since I got my MO and DID NOT have that cramp. I am gradually starting to use the MO in many of the ways I have read here and am pleased with all I have tried.

I have very bad arthritis in my hands and after reading every one of the current pages started with MO, herbal calcium tea, joint formula and prill water. It was Eileen's post that convinced me to try it - after all I haven't had much success with the other products I've been using for 25 years. In one week three of my fingers on my right hand looked normal, no swelling and I could bend my fingers down to the palm. I now have five fingers altogether that have lost the nodules around the joints and have more mobility in my hands. That's pretty amazing!

Love my MO, feeling calm and sleeping well - even dh is soaking. The plants, dog and dh and me are all enjoying the prill water. Plus I'm using acv diluted on my face and body as a toner, followed by mo and coconut oil. The mo and coconut oil has cleared up the scabby rash on my dog and the same regimen is working wonders on my dh's dry skin. Wow I'm replacing so many products I must be saving a fortune! Pat

I got all my stuff the other day. YEA!! I got my prill water started-love the feel of it in my mouth. It feels softer, almost like nothing's there. So, last night I did my first foot soak-50% oil/50% prill water. (About 4 years ago I had panic attacks and adrenaline surges to beat the band. Now coming to understand I was low in magnesium. But I started using Celtic Sea Salts, which gave me some magnesium and I gradually felt better. Not understanding the magnesium connection. Lately, I have been feeling more symptoms of adrenaline and anxiety. I ran out of sea salt early summer. I have been taking melatonin before bed to get a good nights sleep for the last two years.) After my foot soak, I felt fine. Good, in fact. I thought, Oh, great. I'm one of those who will be energized from the magnesium. I didn't take melatonin. Finally, it got to the point that I needed to go to bed, even if I didn't sleep. Meanwhile, DH decided to work on some of his newly acquired sound system stuff in our bedroom. So, I'm laying there in bed thinking. You know, this is really annoying having him over there, grunting and rustling and making noise while I'm trying to sleep. How will I ever know if the magnesium is working? I could really get angry and let him have it. . .naw. Wow! My body is totally relaxed!! I don't feel sleepy though. You know this is really annoying. I could ask him politely. I know he would stop. . .naw. Boy, this feels so right having my body relaxed. It feels so natural. DH gave up and stopped making noise and I went to sleep. Feel great this morning.
 

Wanted to give a report about prill water. I have a peace lily that looked pretty bad and I was about to toss it. I began watering it with prill water sporadically. Right now it has about 10 new leaves coming up. Before there were about 4 leaves and they looked pretty shabby. If this plant can be revived in such a short time, imagine what it can do for your body!

I was very good at daily soaking the first month. I now soak 2-3 times a week with a bath a few times a month...not enough magnesium time. I noticed better health when I was more consistent. However, I do use the mag gel on my whole body daily after showering followed with vco. I'm committed to that and love what it does for my skin!

I really enjoy my once-a-week magnesium baths, so I may increase them -- especially since the bath does not cool off as quickly as the foot soaks. I love lying back completely submerged except for my face, and my hair loves it too. It has never been so manageable.

But some really good news: I have a neuropathy on the bottom of my right foot. Anyone who has experienced this knows that it causes serious sharp pain and burning, to the point of sometimes being unable to walk. Usually I wear a toe spreader to keep pressure off the nerves. Yesterday I participated in an anti-war march and forgot to wear the spreader. Even though my feet were tired afterwards, there was no pain! Amazing!

It’s been 3 weeks for me now and the skin on my feet has started to peel. But unlike some of you who find it coming off in pieces, in my case it’s “rolling” off. The skin underneath is sooo soft, like a baby’s.

I do my foot soaks right before I go to bed because it puts me to sleep so fast! I have noticed when I’m soaking that I can actually feel the skin on my legs getting soft, then the skin on my thighs. After I get in bed I can feel that my hips, belly and bum are really soft, after that I’m asleep but I think the softness continues to move up.

Well, I've had my Mag Oil and Mag Gel for a week now. Only last night and this morning I was "brave" enough to use the Mag Gel on my VERY hyper active rosecea. It did sting, but just a little.

Anyway, my skin looks spectacular today (comparatively) there are still some little red spots but no itchy ones. My cheeks are pink, but not at all itchy or hot. It's WONDERFUL. Susan

Today I added mag oil to my shampoo and conditioner
