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!

Pamela

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.

((((HUGS))))

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.

Annette

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!). Vicki

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, rather than the gel like I normally do (I have the handy gallon size of the mag oil, dontcha know). Wow, what a difference! I had used about 2/3 of my products and added about 3 pumps of oil into each bottle.

Today my hair has been incredibly smooth, not flyaway at all (it sometimes borders on frizzy), and it is so incredibly soft I can't believe it! It was always nice with the mag gel, but with the oil, WOW! Helena

I love my MO. I don't know what I'd do without it now. Wendy

Joan~ Have some more good news to share with you and all the other's on this thread. Okay, I received my mg. oil and other things last Tues. On Fri. TOM appeared (early) however, I didn't experience any cramps! For last 8 months I would experience one day of terrible cramps want to cry and lay in bed with a heating pad ( I refuse to take over the counter pain pills) this month Tom appeared and it was not so bad. Just had to share the news Oh, and DH told me I was much more pleasant to be around WOOHOO!!!

I am totally having the skin rolling off phenomenon with my feet, which is WONDERFUL because years of gross cracked calluses are going away. Amazing stuff. Saving my pennies for the gel and prill water, which I hope to get next month....~~~~~~~~~~~  Joy

I have to add that the Mag Gel is making my hair amazingly clean and, get this:

I have baby fine hair that snarls so very easily and is a real pain to get a comb through after washing. I am tangle free with using the Mag Gel with my shampoo!!

AND I've not had nearly so many snarls with the collars brushing up against my hair in this static generating weather and time of year!

Wow.

I'm using the gel on my face, neck, chest and hands. In minutes my skin is smoother and tighter, my jowls and saggy neck have lifted, and my eyelids lose their droop. I couldn't be more thrilled! I'm hoping eventually my marionette lines will diminish. Rhoda

I'm loving my Mag. Oil and other things. I sprayed the bottoms of dd's feet last night and she slept until 8:45am this morning. I don't remember the last time she slept that late!   Jimella

This summer, the mag oil foot soaks helped reduce inflammation, improved flexibility and made physical therapy workouts more effective. I've been diligent about maintaining 2-3 soaks a week after the initial daily soaks for about a month and my nails seem to be stronger and less brittle, and hair is less apt to fall out, appears curlier...... who knew?

Oh my goodness ! what a wonderful experience ! now I can't imagine why I didn't order the bath crystals ...... I must have slept really well because I woke up at 6:45 am (usually I wake up between 7:30 and 8 am and I hate this because I feel so rushed in the morning getting everyone organized.... and I wasn't sleepy or tired, just felt great ! Lucia

BTW has anyone ever reported that age spots start disappearing?  I've had some on my hand and many "freckles" on my arms for a couple of years now.  I'm seeing them fade.  Thanks! Vicki

I guess I'm now in the believer camp. 4 days of foot soaks in dilute MO, and [darned] if my heel cracks aren't noticeably better (like better than they've been in easily 3 years), 4 days of spritzing MO/water on my face after shower, and my gigantic chin pores really aren't there anymore. The biggest, though, is that I've been spritzing the mixture on my scalp and its STOPPED the psoriasis I have cold. blows my mind.

I just got the new mag gel today and I really like it.

I have had some great results so far from the MO. I'm sleeping better and have more energy throughout the day. My shoulder is also hurting much less. Good stuff!

My kids are constantly asking for "that Prill water" to drink. Sometimes it comes out 'Krill' and we just chuckle at them.

The ultimate bath felt great yesterday. Yesterday I got brave and did a mag snow facial while taking a bath. I felt an instant relief in the pain and a definite decrease in redness. This morning my face was tons better over yesterday!! [From Rosacea] So...I took another bath today and did another facial!

I am hypothyroid (I take medication) and my skin became dry and started to peel (a "symptom" of hypothyroidism) and my doctor just shrugged it off. She didn't want to test my thyroid (hmo issues) so I read the labels on the lotions she suggested and I told myself there was no way those lotions were touching my skin. I have also been feeling tired as if my thyroid hasn't been receiving the proper amount of medication.

Since using the mag oil and letting it dry them applying body lotion (one that I will allow to touch my skin) the dryness has improved and the peeling has stopped.  Lil

I have something very very special I want to share. DH has had cancer 2x in the past that was removed without the need for radiation or chemo therapy. He was diagnosed a few months ago with non Hodgekins lymphoma (never get spelling right). There was something wrong with his blood work that they couldn't pin down. After finally doing a bone marrow test 2 1/2 years after trying to track down why they were finding strange things with his blood.

I have been making him drink Essiac Tea, Ambrotose and a couple months ago added the MO foot soaks. The Essiac Tea and the Ambrotose has been keeping his numbers down and the problems from progressing but didn't make the numbers go down. After adding the MO foot soaks he went for his usual blood tests and a pet scan and the report was his numbers have gone down and his pet scan was clean they couldn't find anything. I know it's the MO because he has been using the other products for the past 2 1/2 years without any changes, which is a good thing nothing had gotten worse.

I had no idea what a good job the prills were doing until last night. I picked up the wrong cup and was hit with a chemical smell; like strong chlorine. Amazing.

I, too, am still loving my laundry prills! I no longer have shirts that stink and I am way saving on soap and baking soda costs! Also, I'm really enjoying my Prill water. My Dh said the water tastes good but it makes him thirsty. I quickly tell him that is a good thing as it will only make him drink more water!!

I just have to say that MO is a muscle SAVER! My lower back was hurting so bad last night (probably out of alignment) that I couldn't even walk straight. I rubbed some MO on full strength this morning and it feels so much better right now. Casey

I just want to jump in and say that I LOVE MY LAUNDRY PRILL. I keep smelling myself and thinking did I put a new softener in this time?? No its my prill. Its the cleanest smell ever.

I also love ,love , love the VCO [Virgin Coconut Oil] and MG at night. My skin looks awesome.

I use the mag oil for soaking and am really noticing when I do not. The two days I did this week I woke up refreshed and ready to exercise by 6:30 a.m. The other days I did not sleep as well and it was a struggle to get out of bed!!

For deeper penetration of gel & oil - use a hand towel or tea towel, dampen - put in microwave [or heated in a crock pot] for a minute or two, apply gel or oil to area of concern - you can layer Dr. Christopher's Cayenne heat ointment or spray to top, then apply towel (check for temp first). Cover with dry towel to insulate and remove after heat is gone. Moist heat penetrates deep into tissue.

If you apply it along the spine (Mag oil/gel) you will be targeting all the spinal nerves. Great relaxation, alkalizes, etc. Jane B., LMT

I just got my new mag gel this week and am loving it!! It is not leaving my skin sticky so I can use [it] over more skin than just my sore muscles!

I've been soaking in the tub and doing foot soaks for about 3 months and the fungus has been pretty much gone for the past month. I just didn't believe it until then. My nails are starting to turn pink at the bottom, it'll take a while to grow out. The nail is separating since the fungus was under the nail. When it first started dying it was sore or hot under the nail. IMHO, I think the fungus was fighting to stay alive. Hee hee .

BTW, I love the gel. I'm slathering it all over. It isn't sticky and I had no trouble putting on my clothing after using it.
Eileen

After I soaked last night I slept deep and didn't wake up early to go to the bathroom versus sleeping on the edge and tossing at night and waking up early morning to use the bathroom. Plus, my feet are continuing to look better. The thick skin at the tip of my toes is still peeling off and looking better and my thick fungal nails are continuing to chip off bit by bit. The thick tender buildup under the nail bed has gotten smaller. I'm really liking seeing that...I hadn't expected that benefit when I got the oil. Rose  

    I am one of the fortunate samplers for the new magnesium gel with seaweed extract! Today I finally had a chance to use it by itself and I love it! It is NOT sticky, it goes on smooth and silky, and the gel is actually a GEL, not totally runny like the old "gel"!
    I put some on my face on top of other stuff . . . face not sticky.
    I put some on my arms all by itself . . . arms smooth, not sticky.
    I put some gel in my hair along with a drop of perfume . . . hands fragrant, but not sticky!
    I like to put a drop of perfume in my hand and then add about a half-teaspoon of magnesium gel to it and work it into my wet hair. I did this today with the new gel and my hair is so soft and wavy. I'm going to give some to my infamous daughter Laura tomorrow so she can spike her new short haircut a bit with this lovely mag gel.
    I know it's really magnesium because I had a small abrasion on my face and the mag gel stung a bit then stopped! I figure it can only help.
    I'm going to pour the rest of the old gel into my shampoo and conditioner (this is an outstanding product extender, BTW), then next time order a big honkin' bottle of the new magnesium gel with seaweed extract!

Joan, you have a WINNER here!
Helena

A much appreciated use of the magnesium gel! My DH and I were an hour from home yesterday after being on the road for 11 hours. I needed to take the last turn behind the wheel as my DH had gone as long as he could. When we were nearly ready to take off I got a killer horrible muscle knot on the back of my thigh! I tried stretching it and walking it out with no affect. I finally reached for my magnesium gel that was thankfully handy. I rubbed it on and was fine within a minute. I drove home without a problem. I wish I'd of had that gel when I was pregnant!! Lovin' that stuff!!

The laundry prills have solved such a great need for us! My cynical husband is now quite a believer in them!

I received my MO and Bath Crystals the other day. Have done to foot soaks and can't believe how soft my feet now feel.

There's one other healing I've experienced. On the outside edge of my right foot I have had a sore spot. The skin would hurt even to touch it. I started rubbing the oil on it and then today I knew I had to be in my sketchers all day so I put some on the pad of a bandage and covered the spot. Tonight when I took it off - no red spot or soreness.

I'm ordering the gallon size tomorrow. I may just cover my whole body with it; maybe I'll end up with a new body

I wanted to share my experience with the magnesium oil.

After reading all the posts about the oil I purchase a small amount of it and thought I'd give it a try.

I had a itchy, red spot right on my Adam's apple that was driving me nuts. I had tried everything on it and I thought what the heck I'll give the mag oil a try. So I put it not only the spot but the whole neck area. Yes it did sting, but it was bearable. I did this for maybe three nights and I'm here to tell you it is gone. Not only the spot but many of the dark crease areas I had on my neck. Not really age spots, but I'm sure age related. Happy dancer here!!

When I spray my feet before bed, I sleep very deep and usually all night without interruption. And when I don't use it, I seem to be much more restless and often wake up needing the bathroom or something.

Had a sore elbow from gardening yesterday and put magnesium oil on it. Immediate relief.

I must admit that the prills have done a wonderful job of getting rid of that disgusting sour smell from my tea towels... in my pre-Joan world, I would have to double wash and double rinse and STILL they would continue to smell. And it's really amazing how our white socks come out so much cleaner than before when I've even been tempted to use bleach, and still they would look yucky. Unbelievable as now I'm barley using one tbsp of detergent !

I think I will be giving these away as Christmas gifts !

Just wanted to quickly let you know that I have been putting mag gel on the soles of my 3 kids (ages 5, 4, 21 months) for the past 4 days and they have been sleeping through the night. Ages 5 and 4 have not had any nightmares (a common occurrence for us) and the baby, who has been waking up during the night for her water bottle every single night since birth, has not woken up once over the past 4 days. Mind you, I do wait till they're asleep before applying the gel as I'm afraid they'd protest or rub it off on the sheets . It's pure magic.

MY CRACKED FEET SUCCESS STORY!
Let me preface by saying that I wish I would have been/stayed more consistent with the MO foot soaks. If I would have been more consistent, this success would have happened so much quicker. I think this has taken about 5 weeks to get them in such better shape; sometimes only soaking one a week. THEY WERE AWFUL!!!!!!!
It is so wonderful to have no cracks in my heels. Now all I have to work on is getting rid of a few small rough patches. I am so pleased with the MO. I have previously tried about everything, cream or balm, with limited success; feet were smoother, but still had deep cracks. MO is great.

I forgot to mention the wonderful improvement on my hand knuckles on my left hand. These had been developing a tough callous that is darker than the rest of my skin. The skin reminded my of elephant hide. The dark color is now faded and the skin is soft and with the texture the same as the rest of my hand. YEAH!!!!!!   Gotta love that MO!    - Louise

This is my 2nd cycle since using the oil, and the problem is...I've lost my period indicator.

I've been fortunate for easy cycles, that is up to about 8 mo ago or so. Since then, the 1st day of my cycle gives me cramps and lower back ache, so when I feel the lower back tightening, I knew it would be coming the next day.

Last month and again today, it COMPLETELY snuck up on me. No period symptoms at ALL!

Okay, kidding, not really a flaw, I'll take not knowing to cramps and lower back tightness ANY DAY!

You've got a GREAT product Joan!

Magnesium is fantastic for sleep. I was a horrible sleeper until I found mg and I sleep even better with Magnesium Oil. It's funny since today my DH says he's been sleeping better when he uses it. I actually find that if I wake up in the middle of the night I'll actually go right back to sleep.

I was having problems with a mild case of incontinence. Nothing major, just little bits at a time. I always had to wear a pad just in case. I no longer have the problem. I wear the pads out of fear that something might happen. I throw them away clean. It went away after my 1st couple MO baths. I take 1-2 baths a week now and soak my feet nightly.

Oh yes, no more leg cramps. My knee pain is almost totally gone and my feet are getting better slowly. My skin is soft and silky. What more can I ask.

I mentioned before that I have some serious fungal nails. Since starting mo foot soaks they have changed color and started to peel. One in particular started to break from the toe! That was sore... Anyway, the top of that nail has completely come off leaving the enlarged fungal underside exposed. Surprisingly it is only slightly tender. I'm quite excited as to what this means!! The tough thick skin on the ends of my toes has been peeling off and my feet are feeling quite soft. That skin was quite damaged many years ago when I was applying a topical fungal killer that only damaged my skin and hurt like the dickens!

In addition, my hair is softer than I can ever remember and quite shiny!! I have mo in my shampoo and spray the gel into my hair every day. My skin was getting softer and looking good. Oh...my headaches have slowly become very minor and not 24/7! That is good for my whole family!! Rose

I cannot believe how I'm sleeping like a 20yo~! I attribute it to using the mag. oil. QE

The first thing I did was apply it to my fingernails and I saw a difference with the 1st application. My nails are, oops, were, weak, with a tendency to peel. I use it twice a day on my nails. About a week and a half into it I caught myself scraping dried food off a pan with my thumbnail. I gasped in horror, as that used to ruin a nail and it would take forever for it to improve to its former imperfect form. When I inspected the nail it was just fine. I still don't intend to use fingernails as tools, but this represents a major improvement, and not just in strength, but appearance -- shiny with nice white tips like a french manicure. Woo-hoo!

On the 2nd day I used it as a deodorant and was delighted to find that it works for me. I do dust it with baking soda. If anyone know if this is OK or if there's a better alternative, please let me know. I am extremely happy to be done with the chemicals I used to apply under my arms.

I promised a report on the laundry prill beads...and here goes!

I've been using them for 1.5 weeks now. At this point I am in LOVE with my LAUNDRY PRILLS!!! Prior to the prills I was using a full lid of ALL free&clear plus a cup of Baking soda in my laundry. I could use no other brand or my family would break out and/or my laundry would stink. Plus, we still had mild funk in our clothes!! Since moving to our new neighborhood 3 years ago laundry has been a pain in my side!! Anyhow...as it stands today I am using a tablespoon of Trader Joe's plant and vegetable based laundry soap (hadn't been able to use it in a long time because of the smell it left in the clothes) and the prills. Thats it. My clothes have a nice clean smell to them and come out softer. My husbands work clothes are coming out crisper looking too. My DH is having me rewash shirts that had been washed prior to the prills because of the stink.

MENSTRUAL CYCLES - I can't rave enough about the magnesium oil foot soaks. That stuff is FANTASTIC!!! I think that EVERYONE should try it.

It COMPLETELY took away ALL the wonderful "joys" associated with the TOM and I had the most normal TOM that I've had in years. It was fantastic.

I'm also sleeping more soundly at night and I feel calmer overall. In fact, if I'm feeling a little stressed, I try to soak for 20 minutes during the day, too. (There are some nice perks to working from home.)

It's very relaxing; feels silky smooth to soak in; and I don't even warm it. I LOVE IT! I soak for at least 20 minutes and then I immediately soak for at least another 20 minutes in warm water and then I'm off to bed.

Per the strong recommendation from my reflexologist/acupuncturist, I've been soaking my feet in warm water for a year for the relaxing and restorative benefits and didn't want/need to give that up for the MO soaks.

I've also used the Magnesium Snow for a facial and that was wonderful, too. My skin felt tighter and smoother afterwards. However, you do need to plan to sit still while it's drying because it will "snow" all over the place if you don't. I highly recommend the Magnesium Snow, too. ~ Pina

That's one more for the MG Oil. I'm still in "shock" over how the oil has worked for me. I can lay in bed at night and go....hmmmm, No muscle twitches. Weird and WONDERFUL!!! After trying to get rid of them for 2 years...I thought I just had to live with them. NOT SO!

Got my laundry Prill beads! And, so far, I'm quite impressed! My first load was a pretty grimy sandy load of clothes from a day at the river. I used 1/5th the normal amount of an environmental soap from Trader Joes. I can't usually use it as it leaves a smell on my clothes. I took a shirt from that load and one from the prior load and had my husband smell. The prill load won! Plus, my 22 months old wet sandy jean shorts came out clean! I think these are going to work well for me and be cheaper in the long run!

[I am} noticing the Magnesium oil as being the GREATEST for effortless manicures and pedicures!! Cuticle removal automatically with a soak, and oh the shine. My finger nails look like they've been through an awesome buffing job. My nails had been going through a bit of a brittle stage, but now I'm pretty sure I could cut glass with them. AK

Magnesium is fantastic for sleep. I was a horrible sleeper until I found mg and I sleep even better with Magnesium Oil. It's funny since today my DH says he's been sleeping better when he uses it. I actually find that if I wake up in the middle of the night I'll actually go right back to sleep.

I did my first soak last night~! This morning I had lymph drainage elimination...I also did the snow on my upper arms and it seems to have already helped decrease the rash I've been battling for a couple months. Kate

I ordered Magnesium oil from [Health And Wisdom] and have done 2 foot soaks- think I can already see a difference in my cracked heels- Tricia

Mini Testimonial! SUNBURN & DEODORANT

As I have only been using the MO for about a week, I don't have any ultra spectacular report of overall health improvement. However--

Early last week, I was doing some yard work and didn't bother to put on sunscreen because I *thought* I wouldn't be out that long. Dumb, I know--and I don't intend to do it again. When I got back inside, my shoulders and upper arms were red and really sore. After showering, I started putting the 50% diluted oil on the burned spots (it stung like crazy--worse than the burn itself) and let it air dry. And then I spread a thin layer of my squalane-lavender face oil over the skin. I did that several times for the next couple of days and the redness has faded to 'tan' and so far I have not peeled. I am still waiting to see if the skin has been healed or was damaged too badly, but so far it appears it is going to be okay.

Anyway, the actual test that I had meant to give the oil that day was as a deodorant--I think I read on Joan's site that some people use it for that. The same day I burned myself, I put some on as deodorant in the morning...and kept checking while I was working to see if I noticed any odor. After several hours of sweating in the yard I still couldn't smell B.O. Hope this is not TMI...just mentioning that it seemed to work with my body chemistry which is great news because I am always trying to find an effective natural deodorant option. Heather

Hello all! Finally, a chance to log on to sing the praises of Magnesium Oil (and the fabulous Joan as well!).

For at least 3-5 months it seems, I had been having a difficult time getting in water. I know, seems silly, but I simply could not get it down. I have been an avid water drinker, min of 80 oz per day for years, and then all of a sudden, just couldn't get it down. No idea why.

When I first received the Magnesium oil, I did a 20 minute foot soak, and then thought what the heck and poured the 12 oz from my foot soak into the tub for a relaxing 20 min bath. When reading the bathing instructions, it said to drink 2 glasses of water after bathing, and my 1st thought was "oh great" "how am I going to get that down". After the bath soak, I picked up a 16 oz bottle of water and to my surprise it went straight DOWN. Hmmm, I thought and picked up another and the full additional 16 oz went straight down. Welcomed reaction, but strange. The next morning, and all through the next day, same thing, water just simply flowed down my throat.

Anyhow, it's been the same from day one on the Magnesium oil, I can drink water again! I know, seems strange, but oh so true!

BUT the most remarkable for me, is the Magnesium oil has lifted a brain fog (for lack of a better term or way to explain it) that I didn't even know I had! The difference is incredible. It was like I was in some kind of funk, that just lifted literally within 1 application.

I've posted several times in the past about my attempt to rebuild from adrenal fatigue. I've done very well with numerous supplements, diet changes over the past couple years, but there was still "something" that I couldn't put my finger on. One of the recommended supplements for adrenal fatigue / repair is magnesium. I was supplementing with Natural Calm, but I could never seem to get the dose down. No matter the dose, it seemed to run right through me if you know what I mean. So now, with the increase in energy, awareness, and just overall clarity I feel with the Magnesium oil, I'm wondering if my magnesium supplement attempt with the Natural Calm was not working for me, and the transdermal application of magnesium with the Magnesium oil is the missing link for my adrenals?????

And my skin? Oh my, so smooth and fresh and youthful looking.

I honestly cannot say enough about the Magnesium oil. It is the one and only supplement I have ever felt immediately.

DH picked up a footbath for me. Last night I used it w/ 3-4 oz of the magnesium oil and today I had no problem walking. I also noticed other problems I had, have been getting better by the day since I've been using the Magnesium oil. Eileen F Orlando FL

I just wanted to report on an interesting benefit I found with the Magnesium gel. It makes my make-up go on/wear better!
I can't find my favorite foundation any more and the closest thing they make to replace it is too moisturizing for me, so it leaves a bit of stickiness on my face. When I apply the gel after my shower, before my moisturizer and then the foundation, it seems to "set" better and not feel so "icky"!  Moyne G New Boston TX

HI Joan,

I received my order yesterday, thank you. I've tried out ALL of the products and I'm having fun trying to figure out what will work best for my massage clients.  So far, the gel wins hands down in terms of skin feel following application.  In the process, though, I ended up sooo relaxed that I slept 11 hours last night and my habitual teeth clenching is absent. My face looks relaxed, too, which translates to looking younger and fresher - forget  Botox! 

First I slathered the oil all over my body and let that sit for an hour or so while I did a facial with snow and mica dust. Then I bathed in the bath crystals and followed that with an application of the gel everywhere I could reach. By then I was ready for a nap but the phone kept ringing and didn't happen. Bed at 7:00, up at 6:00. It's that easy to look younger, sleep better, and stop the chronic jaw tension. I can hardly wait to see what this will do for my clients and my friends.  I have been on a quest for so many years to find a way to get magnesium introduced topically and I can say now that I think the quest has been fulfilled.

If these products can do so much for me - a person who is aware of magnesium needs and careful to try to get enough - imagine what it can do for people who can't tolerate or don't eat magnesium rich foods and supplements. My youngest client is 62, which means that everyone I deal with is at the age where hypertension, blood sugar, cardiovascular, arthritis, reflux and other digestive disorders are imminent threats to their well being. Magnesium plays a pivotal role in all of those issues, so I'm hoping that my TLC with magnesium products can soften the edges by keeping at least that factor moderated some without introducing diarrhea as oral Magnesium products do. Heck, if I can just get enough magnesium in to allow the muscles I soften to stay that way for a while I'll be content! Additional benefits would be the gravy.

HI Joan,

Well, now I've been using the magnesium products for about 3 weeks and I have to say I now can't live without it - both on a professional and a personal basis.   My massage clients are responding to the magnesium gel in ways I never could have predicted and it's almost all good. One client actually had MORE spasms when I used the gel on him and I eventually found out that if there's not enough calcium for the magnesium to balance with that can happen, so that may be why he had that backlash (after it worked remarkably well to soften those tight muscles).  He's one of those people that needs an entire mineral rebalancing, would be my best guess.

Other than that, small miracles are taking place. Remember that all of my clients are people that I know well and have been seeing regularly for many years - my newest client was added to my list 4 years ago. So I am familiar with all of their stubborn areas and have worked those
muscles with serious emphasis over and over again without getting that final breakthrough that would make the difference. Well, no more !! Old issues are resolving under my hands as long as I use the magnesium gel and work the muscles to get the blood flowing in along with the magnesium it carries. It takes just as much work, but the results are so much greater than I've ever achieved before.  I've not used it with anyone more than 3 times yet, so can't say just how far this will take us, but so far so good, and it does seem to be increasing in effect as
the process is repeated.

I just came home from working with a 90 yr old friend who called me desperate from having been sick with flu for the past few weeks who couldn't get her strength back and had lost her normal hopeful attitude. She was depressed, afraid, stressed, and cranky. So I got her to lie on her bed and rubbed some Magnesium gel into her legs and feet; after about 10 minutes she started coughing and suddenly realized that she hadn't been able to exhale fully for the past week and was thrilled to be coughing up the junk and getting fresh air into her lungs. She said "I haven't been able to do that all week!" a number of times. It seems that the magnesium had helped relax some bronchospasms and allowed normal breathing processes to take place. Sadly, her doctor had a week before prescribed an inhaler for her but she hadn't figured out how to use it and it was just sitting on her bedside table not helping her at all so I taught her the ropes with that and she'll be able to help herself if she needs to. I had spent the afternoon making her a pot of soup, but I don't think she'll be needing that nearly as much as a nice relaxing bath in  magnesium, so tomorrow I'll take over some bath salts and prills for her. Too bad - it was good soup!    ~ Terry P. Bantam CT
