ReMag

Paula,

I believe I would stop using it for a while to see if that resolves the problem.

Paula, I will be interested to hear your experience. I started on ReMag this week. I had been taking 400-600mg of Dr's Best for quite a while so I started with 1/4 tsp of ReMag twice a day. That was too much. I got up the second day feeling like I had the flu and it lasted for half a day. I went back to 1/4 tsp for a day but then went back to 1/2 tsp total yesterday and feel fine. I'm not usually very sensitive to supplements so I was a bit surprised I reacted as strongly as I did.

Hey Paula,

I went up very slowly on the ReMag because I know magnesium in this form can cause detox reactions. I still have cycles of normans to pencil thin to WD when hormonal changes are happening so I have to go by my other symptoms. The ReMag is not causing inflammation, rather magnesium is a powerful anti-inflammatory. I too was a veteran Dr.'s Best mag taker but took the pills as I slowly went up on the ReMag. I know by other symptoms (heart pounding, insomnia, anxiety, muscle soreness) when I need to stay, back off, or increase dose. I like ReMag because it is so easy to man the ship.

The weird anomolies people experience on the ReMag I chalk up to your cells waking up to the fact they are getting the mag right up in there! This can cause all sorts of things that are very short lived. Sore throat, needing to sleep more (the good restful kind), a little ramped up initially, increased urination. Also if you are on other meds, google Dr. Dean's "when magnesium makes me worse." It may make some meds work better and you may need to back off of some of those. But if you are taking baby steps with it, you will see great improvement. Disclaimer....I am not a Dr. and do not suggest this without his or her approval!

Remember, I started taking this form because I had severe symptoms of mag deficiency even on 500-600 mg of the pill form. Go by your symptoms and of course Paula, if you suspect its ReMag back off of it for a week and see if you see improvements.....Keep us posted!

Deb, I experienced the sore throat thing also, I think it is detoxing some yuckies....I would go a bit slower...

Vanessa, thank you for your response. It's possible that it may be detox symptoms. I will lower dose for awhile to see if it changes anything.

For awhile I thought I might be low on B12 so was taking the combo of B6, B9 and B12 and it seemed to work temporarily. One thing I have noticed since taking ReMag is that I no longer have numbness in my toes so I believe it's helping me.

Tks again.

Paula

Paula,

Less numbness...that's good news! Also those extra B vits will help detox....

I too am having a slight sore throat....I just assumed if the mag can make your skin burn or tingle it might do the same to the throat if your drinking it....I like to get mine over with and just mix it in a bit of water or something else and drink it down, with more water after...I guess I should lower my dose for a while and see if the throat feels better.....I'm just a little confused why it would make you feel worse, shouldn't your body just flush what it doesn't need out instead?

Other Physical Symptoms
When you begin to detoxify, the cells in your body start to eliminate toxic substances. However, before they make their final exit, the toxins are released into the bloodstream then carried through the circulatory system and this may result in other physical symptoms, according to Naturaltechniques.com. Some of these symptoms include body aches and pains, cravings or withdrawal, nausea or vomiting, clogged sinuses, constipation or diarrhea, coughing, fever, flu or cold-type symptoms, bad breath, gas, headaches and stomach aches. Naturaltechniques.com also says that toxins are often eliminated through the skin as well and this can result in acne, rashes, or other skin issues. All of these symptoms do not occur for everyone, but it is at least good to know what to expect ahead of time or what others sometimes experience during a whole body detox.

The Healing Crisis

Detoxification, die-off, re-tracing, healing crisis—these are all terms for similar phenomena that are an important part of the healing process. Natural healing is based on encouraging the body to rebuild body functions and cleanse itself of toxic substances or infections and is not always a matter of immediately feeling better. When healing chronic illness, feeling better is often fairly low on the body’s list of priorities. When the body is working to rebuild the very foundation from which human energy flows, diverting some of that precious and at this stage, limited, energy to make us feel better may not be a prudent use of the energy. As the body heals through diet, nutritional balancing and herbal therapy, little by little symptoms become more comfortable and fade away over time. But in the earlier stages of the healing process, at times there can be flare-ups of symptoms. A healing crisis is a period in the healing process when we actually feel worse than before. This can be due to a number of factors. Often when the healing process is stimulated in the body with herbal therapy, dietary changes or a nutritional program, the body’s energies are directed inward to the organs and tissues where this work is occurring. Healing is work for the body and requires energy to do it. This can make us fatigued, just as when we are fighting an infection.

Many of us over-expend our energy and force it to the surface with stimulants such as coffee and sugar. We may feel better when we do this, but these stimulants ultimately exhaust us and lay the ground work for chronic illness. Natural therapies reverse this process, sending the energies deeper into the body to promote healing. But we will not have as much energy to spend as we may be accustomed to spending. Resting as much as possible is the cure for this problem and it will pass as the body becomes stronger and has more real energy available.

In the Nutritional Balancing process, often the first reason for symptoms to worsen or recur is the detoxification of heavy metals. Nutritional Balancing has a very powerful ability to support the body’s own ability to release heavy metals from the tissues where they may have been building up for many years due to impaired metabolism. During the first three to nine months of the nutritional protocol and retesting process, it is very common to release metals such as copper, aluminum, mercury, manganese, cadmium and lead. As these toxic substances are released from tissue storage, and move through the blood to be excreted through the liver and kidneys, they are capable of causing some of the symptoms typical of acute exposure to the metal. In addition, for many chronically ill people, some degree of liver detoxification impairment is part of their problems and can even be due to the very metal being cleared, especially in the case of copper toxicity.

The Bold Highlight is mine...

Gabes,
Thank you....
Do you think there could be any correlation between all this and the shingles I am getting over? (Finally)

Gabes-Apg · Post by **Gabes-Apg** » Thu Sep 15, 2016 5:15 pm

yes i do think there is a linkage, the immune system is struggling to fight the shingles virus

the key things our immune system needs to fight viruses, is also what is used by the body to clear toxins and heal
Vit C, Zinc, Vit D, magnesium.

For what it's worth, I've also read that having a sore throat (which is a symptom many here seem to experience from time to time) can also be a sign of a food intolerance or allergy.

I still have some reservations about ReMag.

Gargling with warm salt water (sodium chloride in water) is an effective treatment for sore throat. It won't necessarily cure it, but it sure helps, in most cases. When a salt/water solution (such as ReMag) causes a sore throat, that's not a good sign — in this case it may be an indication of a chemical burn, or as Holly points out, an allergic reaction.

I can't find any evidence suggesting that other magnesium salt solutions (such as Epsom salts, for example) would cause sore throat issues. In fact, some people gargle with Epsom salts in water.

It just seems kind of odd that a product that is supposed to be so good for health would cause a sore throat in so many cases.

A burning mouth is a much different sensation than a "sore throat" like when you are getting a bug. I've had both and I can tell a difference. I've had burning in my chest and mouth/throat BEFORE using the ReMag, which seemed to totally alleviate this issue. Then as my body got saturated with much needed mag, I would get a sore throat that never lasted more than 2 days, hence a good sign of a healing reaction to getting rid of toxins and heavy metals.

After these healing periods I always have a great period of energy and wellness. A bush has to be cut way back and trimmed before it can flourish. My throat has never burned from ReMag as I sip it through the day. This is key. Taking a big dose to get it over with is not recommended. Just like using it on the skin, it can tingle and itch. Hope this helps some of the confusion. I don't want people to be afraid of this product as it can be so helpful, you just have to use it correctly.

Before ReMag, I also carried around an epi pen as I had all sorts of throat anomalies and didn't want it closing up on me. Couldn't pin it down to food as it would happen at random. Thing of the past now.

Go easy with things Grasshoppers.....

It says on the bottle you can do it in one sitting or sip through the day, so when I say I want to get it over with I mean the taste is not great (to me) and doing it in one sitting works better for me....I am in no way bashing the product or would deter anyone from trying it. The sore throats could very well be a coincidence and have nothing to do with the re mag at all.....time will tell!

Vanessa · Post by **Vanessa** » Fri Sep 16, 2016 2:20 pm

Lou Ann,

Of course! But if throat continues with slight soreness, it would benefit you to add less ReMag to more water. Very few people can take it in one shot ( I listen to Dr. Dean's radio show) especially people with gut issues. I'm not saying anyone is bashing it, I just don't want them to be fearful of something that could really help them. I appreciate ALL of you, questions, reservations, experiences and all! That's what this forum is for. So we can share what's working and what's not. And your right, sore throat from what? Could be a dozen different things.
