BE REGULAR — BE SUCCESSFUL!

The best possible success of Transdermal Magnesium comes from applying it regularly for the first 1-2 months. After this critical
restoration period you can then begin a maintenance period of 4-6 months to be certain Magnesium levels are optimal for your body
and life conditions.

The key once again: EVERYDAY APPLICATION!

First 1-2 months — Restoration

A serious Transdermal Magnesium program applies about 600 mg of MgCl each day. You can get significant
results within the first month, with initial beneficial signs appearing within 1-2 days. The second month is a
settling in month of use where very noticeable changes may be felt. People most often report mental
calmness, better sleep, less chronic pain, and more energy being guiding patterns in their life.

3-6 Month Period — Maintenance

During this time the body is geared toward maintaining Magnesium levels with the help now of your
calmness, diminishment of pain and inflammation, and better rest.

Use everyday, but now experiment with body areas and frequency of use under varying circumstances. The
body can never absorb more Magnesium than it needs. Any excess is safely secreted by the kidneys.

Transdermal Magnesium for the Rest of Your Life?

No! Transdermal Magnesium is hopefully a short-term solution with long-term benefits. As you immerse
yourself in knowing the invaluable role of Magnesium in the body, you will also want to know how you can
continue to keep it flowing into your life.

Your journey will hopefully lead you to look at your diet, nutrition, stress, exercise, and health conditions
with more attention to Magnesium. Creating balanced inputs of Magnesium in your life through various
safe means should be your objective. Your Magnesium Spray will then become your go-to, exactly when
you need it!

TIP #3: USE MOIST HEAT

Research in Sports Medicine has demonstrated that over-icing an injury can actually do
more harm than good.

Icing should be done only in 10-15 minutes periods within the first 1-2 hours, followed by
moist heat thereafter.
Otherwise, icing effectively stops the key leukocyte blood cells from migrating to the injured area to begin the
healing response. Moist heat is shown to activate and support the most beneficial healing response, reducing
swelling, pain and bruising.

Strategy for Using Moist Heat

A heating pad is very effective for creating moist heat. Some have a
felt pad that can be slightly moistened and inserted into the cloth
case. Otherwise, moisten a soft cloth or felt pad, place on body
with the heating pad over it.
Apply moist heat for 45 minutes
 Infuse the moist heat with MgCl and/or other essential oils — rub the MgCl spray onto affected area then apply the
moist heat. You can also dribble a few drops of oil of Rosemary, or Cedarwood, Lemongrass, Clove, and the like onto the moistened felt or cloth

TIP #6: HAND THERAPY

Dealing with Chronic
Discomfort
Many people experience chronic hand discomfort — wrists, thumbs, fingers;
joints, nerves, tendons and ligaments. There are a number of reasons why:
texting and typing, repetitive work or recreation activities, sports, aging, or
even a new mother suffering from “Mommy’s Thumb” caused by repeated
improper lifting of an infant.

Magnesium relaxes the muscles, connective tissues and nerves, and provides important pain
cessation. Besides adapting safer hand activity methods, there are some key strategies to
consider:

Strategies for Hand Therapy

Lessen, adapt or cease the activity causing hand discomfort.

Apply MgCl and rub well to flush cellular debris and loosened
exotoxins through Lymph System

If using our Cortesia Solomon’s Seal Acute & Chronic Injury Salve (or
Healing Salve), apply and rub in well.

If using our Corteisa Quick Relief Spray, apply and rub in well over the salve
(or use alone)

After applying any of the above (MgCl, salve, liniment), place moist heat over or
around your hand for 45 minutes. Do this whenever desired.

Be cautious with use of supports or braces, especially for long periods of time or
through the night. They can cause muscle atrophy and constant nerve firing that is not supportive of relaxation and
convalescence.

TIP #9: GOT YOGA? — Get Magnesium!

Hidden behind that yoga pose are tensions placed on ligaments, tendons, organs,
muscles and joints. Mental focus that includes balance and breathing while holding a
pose is necessary, too. Doing yoga in a heated room also creates intense perspiration
that loses valuable micro-minerals.

Before Yoga

If unable to do a full body spray, then spray trouble areas and rub in well

Similarly, spray on Lymph node areas; yoga allows a lot of exotoxins to be loosened up in soft tissues and joints to be flushed out through the Lymph

behind why:

Beyond the hundreds of enzymatic reactions stimulated by Magnesium,
perhaps the most important one involves the production of both anaerobic
and aerobic energy production, particularly in the metabolism of ATP
(adenosine triphosphate) — the “energy currency” storage molecule of each
cell, or literally its “battery.” The synthesis of ATP requires Magnesium-
dependent enzymes called ATPases.

If you miss the morning, then mid to late afternoon is fine. We caution applying within

The easiest way to explain is Depletion. Your body most likely began Magnesium-

with other minerals and body systems. So, it will give you both energy as you need it,
and very good rest when you are resting. Magnesium restoration during the first 1-2

help me sleep. What’s happening? Don’t give up during the first month or so. A great benefit of balanced Magnesium
stores in the body is very good rest and sleep, mental calm and focus, and adequate
energy to meet the demands. It takes time to restore Magnesium because it is daily
and regularly depleted as part of aging, stress, injury and disease. And, because it is
water-soluble, Magnesium is very vulnerable to heavy metals, environmental toxins,
fluoride and the like that will fully neutralize its use in the body.

Transdermal Magnesium Therapy should always be about a multiple-strategy to

sensibly get the Magnesium you need, and to keep it.

First, is to restore Magnesium levels, and this may take 1-6 months of regular daily
supplementation.

products include gels, lotions, lip balm, deodorant, but these are less effective.

Third, create a lifestyle that does not deplete Magnesium in the first place — stress
control, proper supportive diet that includes key vegetables, seeds and grains rich in
Magnesium, etc.

As we age our body dries up and becomes more rigid. There is a scientific reason for
this (and Calcium plays a key part).

In truth, a mineral cannot be patented, and that is a big problem in a medical industry

allows a very silent and unnecessary epidemic of Magnesium deficiency to pervade

the Body levels? symptoms often are misdiagnosed or attributed to other causes.

Normal Magnesium Levels in Blood

 When considering low vs. normal Magnesium levels in blood, it’s important to bear in
mind that serum (blood) Magnesium levels do not correlate with levels of magnesium
in muscles or cells. In fact, this factor contributes to further masking the presence of
magnesium deficiency.

The body holds blood levels of Magnesium at a fairly constant level of 1% even when
experiencing an overall condition of deficiency. This means that blood tests often
cannot reveal Magnesium deficiencies, and therefore may not be reliable for
determining Magnesium status in the body. In fact, Magnesium levels’ normal range is
from 0.7 to 1.0 mmol/L and typically remains at these levels eve in the most severe
cases of magnesium deficiency.

Tests for Magnesium Blood Levels

Magnesium blood levels may be measured by several types of tests, and most
accurately by Magnesium loading tests. However, loading tests may need to be
requested by patients because health care providers may not suspect Magnesium
deficiency, particularly when the focus remains on treating symptoms.

Given the fact of widespread Magnesium deficiency, Dr. Mark Sircus, author of the
book Transdermal Magnesium Therapy, suggests that one of the best (and easiest)
ways to determine Magnesium deficiency is to apply MgC ltransdermally in low
doses, and then to assess improvement of symptoms that can occur within minutes,
hours, or days. This method is simple, non-invasive, and effective largely because
conditions marked by pain or muscle tension can show immediate improvement as
Magnesium penetrates skin. This is one of the unique benefits of transdermal
Magnesium therapy.

• Purity of ingredients — all "gold standard", food-grade, contaminant-free, and

organic
• Distilled and pure water — most producers don't show on their labels what type
of water they used to constitute the MgCl crystals/flakes; only distilled or pure water
can be used — other types may contain contaminants, metals, flouride or chlorine
that neutralize Mg
• Chamomile or Rose Water base for MgCl — these exceptional therapeutic
essential oils serve to soften the general saltiness of the MgCl. They are outstanding
skin nourishers.
• Therapeutic essential oils — therapeutic-grade organic essential oils are infused
specificially for their known therapeutic qualities for various conditions. This is what
makes our sprays very unique.
• MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) — ALL OF OUR SPRAYS INCLUDE MSM. This
highly known aid for joints is standard in all our sprays. We have found that it also

SUBJECT COMMENT

I have noticed that, when I apply it directly in my underarms, it makes body odor go away in a matter of minutes. It stings lightly
for a little bit, but it really works for me. I have to use it for a longer time and experiment as far as how often I need to use it for
this purpose.
Body Odor Reduction
One more thing that I have been doing is rubbing a tiny amount of the spray on my feet every night, so far, I have not noticed any
major calming effects or even much better sleep (I have trouble falling asleep, it takes me a long time), but I wake up a bit more
relaxed and my feet are soft. I just hope I am not overdoing, or throwing anything out of balance.

I applied (or rather slathered) magnesium spray to most of my body for 3 days, twice a day, but last night I felt I had enough
magnesium in my body and stopped applying the oil. When I first started the therapy I felt I couldn't apply enough magnesium!
My body was just eating it up. But amazing after just 2 days my body feels fully saturated. From my research, I was under the
Mg Saturation impression that I would be applying oil for a couple months before my body got up to speed with the magnesium, but apparently
that is not the case. I still very, very relaxed. Curious to see how long the magnesium stays in my system before I feel the need to
apply it again. Very interesting!

It takes exactly 20 minutes once I apply the magnesium spray to feel the calm effect in my head. Takes the same amount of time
Relax Sore Muscles to relax any sore muscles. I have been leaving it on 20 minutes and then showering it off.

Glowing Skin Okay, here's one of the best things about the magnesium spray beside the calming effect — it causes the skin to glow and
become unbelievably soft. I started to put it on my face, first to see if it would relax the tension in my jaw (it does), and then to
 see what effect it would have. Quite amazing. Looks like I've just had an expensive facial... that's the glow you get from it. My
nails are not as brittle and have been growing like gangbusters. I have to trim them every few days.

Since I bought enough magnesium chloride flakes to last for a decade (see my other posts), I have been giving it away to friends
at karate. One friend has told me that he wakes up in the morning with lose muscles if he applies the oil the night before. This is
fantastic because my friend is a personal trainer and also trains very hard as an international karate competitor. Another friend
who has been applying the oil absolutely loves the glow it gives her skin. She never misses a day!

On the face: sometimes the magnesium spray makes my face slightly red and sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why. I slather a
good moisturizer on afterwards because it tends to dry out my skin a bit. People who are trying it on the face for the first time
should proceed carefully and wash it off if they feel it burning. Probably not a good idea to try magnesium on the face if you've

Eye Fatigue Rx I've also discovered Magnesium spray is fantastic for eye fatigue. I massage a little in around the temples and then dab it on my
eyelids. Do not apply it underneath your eyes! Ouch!! I've accidentally gotten some in my eyes, but washed it out with cold water
and was fine.

I noticed after applying Magnesium Chloride to my face that it really stung and went bright red like bad sunburn. It was really
burning, so I applied milk to neutralise it which worked and my face went back to a normal colour within an hour. I had been
Facial Redness putting it on my face everyday without this happening, so I am unsure why it decided to burn that time. Unless I had put
something on my face prior? I can't remember. But I am very cautious about putting it on my face now.

didn't get better, I could get a cortisone shot or perhaps surgery. I haven't been back. They gave me ibuprofin and I was taking it
a lot but started to worry about liver overload and other effects.

This FS condition has severely impacted my life in so many ways! I was gettting so sick of the constant pain and sleepless

least once a month and sometimes more. I spent a lot of time researching the problem and discovered it was a lack of
Magnesium that was causing these issues. It all made sense.

I decided to use the Magnesium transdermally as it was the quickest way to absorb it into my system. The results have been
astounding. I have been taking the Magnesium for 3 months now and these are the results I have found so far:
Muscle Cramps & Knots
1. The Muscle Knots and Cramps have dissapeared almost completely - I still get the odd Cramp but it is very rare now and have

keeps getting better.
Neck Flexibility
4. I had a build up of solid excess Calcium on a knuckle on my right hand which was the size of an Olive - it has almost gone

5. My neck was starting to freeze up and I could barely turn my head at all - it has now reversed that problem and I can now turn

6. The most impressive part of using Magnesium was a side effect which I was trying to find another cure for - Excessive
Sweating. For 40 years I have had to put up with this embarrasing issue. It has dried up and I no longer have to suffer from this
any more. I am still working on that and cannot say yet whether it is permanent but the signs so far are very encouraging.

week when my husband dropped me at the door of the supermarket so I would only be exposed to the cold 30 seconds, I would
lose the blood circulation in all 4 fingers on both hands and all toes on both feet.

This is a great improvement in just a few days using the Magnesium spray so I am very excited and wanted to share.

HOW MAGNESIUM THERAPY HELPED MY HEALTH CHALLENGES

by C. Forrest McDowell, PhD

Sometimes as health practitioners we find ourselves faced with health challenges ourselves. At age 66, I have been fortunate to live a healthy life with
no major medical intervention necessary. But healthy diet, exercise, stress management, and peaceful living aside, I contracted Lyme’s Disease in 2011
— it has changed my life forever in numerous ways.

Let me first share some things about me that make my approach to self-care quite different than most people.
In a way, I have chosen my life as an experiment to determine how much I can take care of myself outside the
established medical system. I have successfully avoided doctors, hospitals, medications, invasive surgery, or
the like for any of my ailments or injuries. Instead I have studied anatomy and folk medicine and the
psychology of illness most of my life, seeking the most practical and least expensive, commonsense (but
historically documented) ways to treat myself.

The major health challenges I have faced in life are depression, chronic fatigue, and Lymes Disease. The
lifelong depression certainly was from many years of emotional and physical abuse in my family, and
continued into the over 34 years of partnership with Tricia (the master herbalist responsible for all our herbal
remedies). I always considered the fatigue as simply part of life. But, Lyme’s challenged me beyond
comprehension.

I did not know I had Lymes Disease (LD) until too late. We live amidst 22-acres of woods and gardens and are
always out in nature. Our cats are outdoor-indoor, and we periodically need to remove tics from them. We are
used to getting “owees” and insect bites. Sometimes there is swelling or redness, but you simply clean it and
slather some good healing salve on it and you’re good to go. Days after bitten, a telltale red bull’s eye
appeared at the sight of the bite just below my right ribcage.

I did not connect the bite to flu-like symptoms, and then so much more that appeared within the first two
weeks. So I treated myself for flu and low energy, which included nausea, vomiting, fever and achiness.
Curious about the appearance of the red bull’s eye, I identified its association with a dreaded tic bite and Lymes’s Disease.

How I have treated my Lymes’s condition naturally, from detection in February 2011 through 2014, is another story altogether that I plan to share another
time. The first 2+ years were HELL, as I tried to understand the pattern connecting all my symptoms. My herbal therapy helped tremendously but still left
some healing work undone. Perhaps the major consequences of my conditions were needing to give up performing concerts and playing/studying my
lifelong love, the guitar (I am back to playing again, after healing!), writing because of lack of mental focus, and lack of stamina and motivation. Here is a
list of my symptoms (classic signs of LD when seen as a whole):

Achy and stiff joints, especially limbs; swollen joints in hands and fingers
Depression and listlessness, often severe
Brain fog, short-term forgetfulness
Muscle wasting
Nerve sensitivity
Minimal appetite, weight loss
Chronic fatigue, loss of motivation
Loss of stamina and endurance
Irregular heart rate
Fever and chills (alternating)
Nausea and vomiting
Bronchial infections
Gastrointestinal sensitivity
Sleeplessness and disruption of sleep patterns
General mental anxiety, lack of situation-appropriate calmness, variable anger outbursts

I know many of you believe me a fool not to get medical help. However, the controversy about Lymes’s Disease is so huge in the medical community
that I simply did not want to get caught up in the same medical-diagnostic run-arounds that I read so many others experiencing. Besides, I began to
treat LD as something necessary in my life: instead of an enemy, I saw it more as a blessing to help me refine my dietary lifestyle, exercise patterns, use
of plant medicines, and level of faith in healing.

In Spring 2013, I had a severe deteriorating bronchial illness. I lost 23 pounds in 30 days (down to 153 lbs for a guy over 6 feet tall!), and severe
coughing caused a torn rotator cuff. And that is when things turned around.

Buried in a medical article by a doctor investigating LD, was the statement that LD patients are severely deficient in Magnesium. This is because the
Borrelia spirochete in LD uses Magnesium for its own destructive ends. At the same time, I became aware of the power of restoring essential
micronutrients into the body via juicing. I was determined to fight the disease/bacteria with an onslaught of vitamins and minerals straight from the
organic plant or food source — juicing and diet.

I began a dedicated juicing protocol that also included herbal tonics sipped throughout the day (specifically oil of oregano, clove oil, lemongrass,
rosemary, and others individually, not mixed together). Vitality and health began to return, and quite quickly!

In June 2014, however, I was still dealing with moods, lack of motivation, and chronic fatigue — these and other body aches that still slightly lingered as
a result of my injuries in 2013. That is when I finally made the connection between many of my symptoms, and lifelong depression and moodiness — all
these pointed toward a significant deficiency: Magnesium. I learned then that most diseases and injuries cause significant Magnesium deficiency, as
thousands of research studies have shown.

I immediately began a Transdermal Magnesium Therapy program, twice daily doing a full
transdermal body spray with Magnesium Chloride. I used a regular strength spray at the time. I
knew my vegetarian diet, and juicing, were providing a good and natural supply of Magnesium
and other important micronutrients. Altogether, I probably was loading up over 2000 mg of
Magnesium daily, and it mattered!

The benefits were almost immediate — the first month of use was absolutely amazing:

My depression and mood shifts ceased, replaced with an elevated sense of spirit
Mental alertness and clarity replaced brain fog and short-term memory loss
Mental calmness allowed me to feel more relaxed amidst stimulus, stressful or not
More energy, and lasting energy
Sound sleep (when asleep) — little interruption, although still sleeping in 2-3 hour shifts;
awaking feeling fitful (it took a couple of months for me to finally be able to sleep almost all
night without interruption — a boon for waking up rested and ready to go!)
Skin: soft, smooth and glowing; skin spots lightening; skin tags flaked off
Pain relief, period
No aching or stiffness in joints, especially hands and fingers; arthritic swelling gone
My shoulder injury began immediate recovery and strengthening with full range of motion
Muscle wasting stopped and weight gain commenced

In mid-July 2014, I had an opportunity to test Transdermal Magnesium Therapy on a silly back injury sustained in the gardens — I broke a couple of the
lower floating ribs in a blunt force accident. I immediately applied MgCl spray several times the rest of the day and rested. Although an injury of this type
simply takes time to heal (4-6 weeks), and usually causes initial bruising and muscle trauma, I did not experience this. This is worth noting: little or no
interrupting pain, no bruising, no stiffness; simply quick and silent healing over those weeks of convalescence.

It is one thing to feel the difference that Transdermal Magnesium Therapy and a supportive diet can do for one personally. However, it is what closest
family or friends witness that is revealing. Perhaps the most dramatic results my family saw in me have been more mental and emotional balance and
calmness with no moods or depression (i.e. more cheerful and easy going), definitely more energy and vitality, and a more glowing appearance (Mg is
great for the skin!).

I have become a student of the overall concept of Magnesium Therapy and its effect on numerous conditions. It has helped our family, especially Tricia
with skin cancer, and our 30-year old daughter, Sonji, with her GI, skin and mood/depression concerns (all resolved!). I am aware now how many, many
other life conditions are dependent upon the proper supply of Magnesium in the body to deal with them. My lifelong moodiness and depression lifted
almost immediately, in spite of years of other attempts to treat it naturally, just by restoring optimal Magnesium levels. No more using an abusive
childhood home life as a reason; I understand now how chronic low-grade stress felt everyday can significantly alter chemical balance in the body,
majorly depleting it of the most important mineral — often called the “king of minerals” or the rejuvenation mineral — necessary for energy,
regeneration, and calming of mind and nerves.

In self-care, we sometimes fool ourselves by imagining improvement simply because we want it so bad!
However, I have nothing between me and my food source and herbal interventions, including Magnesium: no
drugs or medications, alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, wheat, gluten, dairy and the like all of which deplete
Magnesium dramatically from the body. For this reason, I believe I have a very clear sense of what works and
does not work for me.

I have tremendous faith in healing once we have the essential knowledge necessary to adapt healing
strategies to our needs. I am not big on platitudes, but I am willing to say that Magnesium Saved My Life. After
recent years of chronic conditions, and lifelong depression, I feel more empowered than ever before. I also
have a go-to strategy that is incredibly inexpensive and often immediate in its benefits: bringing more
Magnesium into my life, and definitely more LOVE!
