Magnesium oxide....the best and safest intestinal cleanser.
Magnesium oxide is truly an amazing substance. When mixed with water
and consumed, its unique properties allows it to liberate large
amounts of water in the gastrointestinal tract.

The main cleansing benefits for Magnesium oxide are deprived from this
ability to promote hydration. This hydration process helps soften and
liquefy the impacted and hardened faecal matter. The undigested and
putrefying rubbish that has stuck to the bowel wall blocking the
absorption of nutrients and creating a source of toxicity is safely
and gently eliminated.
Logically speaking., it promotes a CLEANER bowel.
Another advantage of the magnesium oxide is that since it is consumed
orally, it has the opportunity to cleanse the entire intestinal tract
from "top to bottom". Enemas on the other hand are limited just to the
lower part of the intestinal tract.

With the removal of excess waste material, the health, blood supply
and oxygenation of the colonic membranes should be promoted. This
should in turn have MAJOR implications for one's well being, such as
the improved condition that encourages oxygen loving (aerobic)
bacteria and at the same time inhibits the growth of unhealthy
bacteria and fungi (Candida Albicans).

It's like Powdered Oxygen
Magnesium oxide is different to other laxatives. It is safe, gentle,
and stimulates intestinal cleansing without the griping and cramping
pain associated with other laxatives. After all, it's mostly just
oxygen and water.

Bowel Cancer
Beware of drug laxatives. Just recently some laxatives have been
banned because it was proven that they cause bowel cancer. Drugs can
also be addictive and do not cleanse like magnesium oxide.

Even some herbal laxatives contain some form of microtoxin.
Microtoxins are mild poisons which irritate the bowel wall and as a
result the body tries to rid the poisons by purging itself. This
usually results in pain and cramping and can over a long period of
time damage the bowel lining.

Spring Clean
Most people living on a Western Diet will benefit from intestinal
cleansing periodically. This is especially true if you suffer from
constipation or other problems associated with a slow intestinal
transit time.

Avoid Healing Crisis
Most health programs can be enhanced by including an intestinal
cleanse for obvious reasons. Treatments aimed at improving organ
function by detoxifying will be made more tolerable by using magnesium
oxide to expel the toxins more efficiently. This lessens or avoids the
healing crisis episode which often accompany some natural therapy
regimes. By varying the dose, the individual can control the rate of
cleansing for the sake of convenience and lifestyle.

Non-Invasive
Another great attribute of magnesium oxide is that one is able to get
a tremendous intestinal cleanse without resorting to some of the more
invasive and inconvenient methods.

Magnesium maintains vital body balance...
But in addition to the beforementioned health promoting benefits of
magnesium oxide, there is also a magnesium component in the magnesium
oxide which is also important for optimal health.

Magnesium maintains vital body balance with many minerals and is
involved in both carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Magnesium is
important for the healthy functioning of the heart and kidneys and is
necessary to maintain the integrity of the skeletal system.

Magnesium is a natural sedative for the nervous system and is commonly
used in clinical practice to help anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, and
high blood pressure. This relaxing effect can also be helpful for the
overexcited states of the gut's wall in conditions such as irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) and nervous indigestion.

Magnesium deficiency may be common in Western Society because our
soils are deficient in many minerals and hence our foods will be low
in nutrients such as Magnesium. The western diet is also high in
protein, calcium, and alcohol, all of which increase our requirement
for magnesium. An extra dose of magnesium while cleansing the bowel
may be beneficial indeed.

Protocol for using Magnesium Oxide
As a practitioner of natural therapies, experience has taught me that
each person is unique and different. I strive to recognise the
"bio-individuality" of each person and hence the prescription and
dosage for a given complaint will differ greatly depending on the
individual.

This is especially true in the application of magnesium oxide. One has
to take into account the degree of toxicity and the rate of intestinal
transit time for each individual before formulating a dosage. As a
general rule, the first week or two should be intensive. Frequency of
bowel motions might be as much as four to ten times daily. However,
lifestyle and work commitments in most cases will demand a more
gradual application of magnesium oxide.

One should strive for a dosage which will stimulate two to three bowel
motions per day. This dosage may be as much as two heaped teaspoons a
day or as little as one half teaspoon daily. Remember to listen to
your body.

The magnesium oxide should come in white powder form and is generally
mixed in half a glass of water. Substances which are mildly acidic,
such as lemon juice or apple cider can be added or follow the
ingestion of magnesium oxide. These mildly acidic substances enhance
the digestion of the magnesium oxide.

Magnesium oxide should not be taken with meals. That is, at least an
hour before or after eating. Since magnesium oxide liquefies toxic
matter, it can be expected that the bowel motions will be loose. This
is not diarrhoea but the result of the hydrating effect of magnesium
oxide. After the initial intensive or gradual cleansing period, some
people will find it beneficial to use magnesium oxide on a regular
basis. A general principle is to take enough so as to stimulate
regularity. Because magnesium oxide produces water and oxygen it is
safe to use on a regular basis.

People who use magnesium oxide on a regular basis may need to take
some extra potassium. Please consult with your health practitioner.

I NEED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS USED THIS, DO U BELIEVE IN THIS AS AN OPTION????? ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ADVIED WOULD HELP
