That's really interesting. Thank you.

So magnesium is one of the things used.


I started looking at different magnesium tablets tonight... and got overwhelmed. I keep forgetting which is the kind I'm looking for... Maybe tomorrow when I'm not tired (and especially if I get some of the court stuff done) I may be able to better remember "glycinate"

I hope so

I am very interested to know if she would have more tolerance for C if she took it with magnesium... If you ever happen to try the two together... and you remember this thread...

that seems like a long shot.


I sure wish my memory worked better. I think (but I'm not sure) that I read somewhere very recently that a small amount of vitamin C (not a tiny amount, more like the amount your doctor recommended for your daughter) or a small amount of hydrochloric acid could keep h.pylori and other bacteria from settling in to our stomach linings...

h.pylori ... I need to do an h.pylori illustration for my B12 history page... and then maybe I'll remember it better... but I think that once it settles in, then the parietal cells that are supposed to make Intrinsic Factor cease to do that... and then B12 in food can no longer be absorbed...

But see, I don't remember clearly.

What amazes me is, that sounds like something we should all know. It sounds so basic. It startles me that I only just learned it... (if in fact I remember it correctly -- but I do think that's the gist of it.)
.

When we first considered diet to be my son's issue five years ago, it really seemed like a long shot too... His turnaround was absolutely profound!

Just shows that even the most unlikely think is really worth giving a try... (as long as you can be sure it won't hurt you... It took me a long time to really feel sure that eliminating foods from the diet longterm would not be harmful - glad I finally wrapped my brain around it though.)

Thank you KimS.

Because I have meals brought in, I eat everything right now, but with a large helping of brown rice at least a couple days a week.

And I'm taking probiotics because I don't have a fridge (solar can't really handle a regular fridge) and I think to regularly eat yogurt you'd need to keep it refrigerated.

And so far I'm doing quite well.

I think that for me as long as I have a lot of rice pretty frequently that my body can do pretty well.

And of course I have masses of vitamin B12.



Thank you.

Magnesium can also be absorbed through the skin in a bath of Epson Salt (it is Magesium Sulfate).
My body craves a lot of magnesium, when I need chocolate, I know I need I've slacked off in my supplement.

Hmmm. That's very interesting: about our skin absorbing magnesium.

I can't bend very well (despite the fact that the tetanus nerve damage bends me over) so I haven't had a bath in years. (I come clean, though.) lol

when I had horrible pain from the tetanus contracting my muscles where I have peripheral neuropathy I put a ... compress, is it called a compress... that is, a washcloth soaked in a stiff solution of Epsom salts on my thigh, and it helped.

I found an interesting article about how it helps... rsd... but I forget things, especially when I'm tired or stressed... I'm going to go look at my Epsom salts page...

I've read the page again, and it seems interesting to me...
