Thanks Anna and Kathy.
Kathy; I knew about it being in toothpastes - it even says so in one
of the articles I posted. Thanks for your reply.
Anna; Thanks for the info.
Food-grade epson salts are not easy to come by - in my experiance
anyhow. But I finally got them is a organic health food store - you might try
asking around as it is not expensive.
A friend of mine says about food grade Epson salts;
" I used to get heart palpatations but this stopped when I started
taking a little bit of "food grade" epsom salts throughout the day mixed with
water
( about 1/4 teaspoon twice a day) It is the cheapest form of
magnesium sulfate that you can get and many bulk food stores like carry it in
the
bulk food section. My heart palpatations usually happen when I am lying down
but go away when I am moving and standing up. "
I have found this works for me for heart palpitations too. I too
only get them when I am lying down.
But anyhow; most of us are deficient in magnesium and taking
the Epson salts, as well as putting ordinary Epson salts into a bath, is a very
good way to get more magnesium. This friend's doctor also told him to soak his
feet everynight in a pail with warm water and Epson salts in it for half an
hour. This helps too with "twitches" or "jerks" etc.
I am half Irish.
Blessings
Shan
