Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Amazon has recently offered a New Arrival of a different brand of a product I've been using for over a year, as what has felt to me to be more than a life saver. It appears that the price and quality of this Life-Flo brand provides a healthily competitive choice with the products noted and linked below, from my original reviews of transdermal magnesium chloride spray. I'm still using and feeling comfortable with all the magnesium products I've reviewed here on Amazon, continuing [based on interpretations of my experiences] to slowly receive healing results against a horde of chronic ills caused by a lifetime of severe magnesium deficiency.
Feel free to follow the below links to those Amazon pages if you're interested in reading the original longer reviews and comment strings, one of those being a video. I've made updates and added a lot of detail in those reviews and comment strings, including references to different doctors and medical professionals who are blessedly [THANK YOU GUYS!!] retaining the leading edge in magnesium research.
Here's a "Reader's Digest" version of the original review posted December 23, 2009:
This Swanson Ultra Magnesium Oil is one of two products on Amazon I considered purchasing, the other option being, Ancient Minerals Ultra Pure Magnesium Oil. It appeared that each of these 8 oz bottles held the same oil with the same percentage of magnesium chloride to water, but I couldn't determine that percentage precisely because neither product specified the balance on the buying pages [that data is provided on this product page for the Life-Flow brand].
I regularly read reviews on mg oil offerings, for info on the varied types of uses which have been successful. I had read those, in addition to having made Google searches on mg chloride brine water prior to looking for the actual product I would purchase. Of course I'm faithful to Amazon, buying here whenever possible, due to this company's awesome venues available to authors for publishing and promoting their books; and due to Amazon's easy, extensive, economical availability of nearly anything anyone could need or want. I also buy here due to the valued assistance and plethora of useful information in customer reviews.
As you know if you've researched magnesium oil (which is not a true oil but feels like one), many people with severe magnesium deficiencies are using this type of oil transdermally to get around the difficulties of ingestion of various types of magnesium preparations. Mg deficiencies are [were] becoming more and more prevalent, in addition to an increased awareness of the vital necessity of this mineral for health and maintenance of nearly ALL bodily functions. According to research, magnesium is found in and on bones, muscles, tissues, and cells; but it is not prevalent enough in blood to be determined as deficient via blood testing. It seems to me to be a good idea to do various Google searches on magnesium to discover how individuals and professionals have worked with this mineral in various ways to alleviate a variety of severe health issues.
I believe that magnesium deficiency shows itself in different ways in different individuals, possibly due to the uniqueness of each individual's habits and needs (and possibly due to individual differences in a "Dynamic Chemical Balance Default" or "DCBD", which is my term for an evolving concept I'm working on). In my case, the barometers of deficiency show up most dramatically in heavy cramping of abdominal and back muscles, sometimes hands and feet, even neck and jaw. The deficiency also shows itself through shortness of breath, anxiety, and lower quality of sleep. I have [had] been taking mg oxide in tablet form [currently using Magnesium Oxide Powder 8 Ounces] for several months and have received minimal (but adequate) and slightly increasing relief of symptoms from ingestion of 1500 mg /day taken in tablet form evenings and mornings (the side effect of loose or liquid bowel movement is a blessing and feels more normal to me, and to my holistic doctor friend, than previous types of "regularity"). I decided against use of "Slow Mag" or types of mg capsules which have a higher percentage of calcium to magnesium, because it has recently been determined (more like speculated, but I agree with this) that the body needs a higher percentage of magnesium, in order for calcium and other minerals to work properly, and because calcium can work against magnesium if the balance of Calcium is higher. [According to some research, magnesium presence should be higher than other minerals.]
Since I could see that any ingestion method would likely take some time to develop or "open" the body's ability to absorb the mineral, I wondered if I might find a magnesium essential oil of some type which I could apply on my skin.
Allow me to interject a sideline of information which relates directly to the body's (in) ability to assimilate ingested magnesium. I have been aware for quite some time that most foods are now impregnated with soybean products, through a great variety of methods:

A friend of mine recently suffered the death of a daughter in her 30's. The daughter, according to the report from her physician, had been given (by a different physician) a new medication which surprised everyone by suddenly depleting the magnesium in her system. Upon retiring for the night, the woman died, from one heartbeat to the next. According to most current speculation, Magnesium releases or relaxes muscles, while Calcium tenses them. According to the reports, the woman's heart contracted, but wouldn't release, due to the sudden depletion of magnesium. She died in minutes.
I'm thankful for this magnesium oil, and for its reasonable price. I've been using it for about a week [per my original review] and am definitely noticing a decrease in symptoms which I've learned to associate with magnesium deficiency. The positive results are much more dramatic than I've received from ingesting the mg tabs [I prefer the mg ox powder].
Now I can sneeze, cough, and move suddenly without the feeling (and fearing) that my entire body is going to fall into (and has in the past) a severe cramping attack. I'm sleeping much more normally and soundly, for longer periods at a time. Sometimes I sleep peacefully, with good dreams, for 6 or 8 hrs straight! I can breathe normally most of the time, and only once in a while now I notice the lead heart feeling or an anxiety level need to get a huge yawn or take a deeper breath, which I can't seem to do. When I've felt the magnesium input take hold in my system, which it does suddenly at times, the only way I can describe the enormously welcome sensation is of suddenly being:
NORMAL, STRONG, RIGHT, and CLEAR.
The "oil" seems to work best when applied on my skin after a hot shower. I sometimes spray it all over my body and leave it on [I still leave it on, but spray mostly on areas with good cushion of fatty tissue]. Sometimes it itches mildly for a while, but the feeling passes [sometimes I have to give a break in applications in certain areas, or discontinue on more sensitive skin locations]. Others have noted having more of a skin irritation upon initial uses, but I did not have that problem at first... did have a problem in some areas after using the spray regularly and leaving it on all day. Rinsing it off after 20 minutes, as recommended, should help with this, but my deficiency is so severe I still need to leave it on all day [I can do that without skin irritation, in places with more fatty tissue].
I wish the products labeling would give magnesium percentage information.
[UPDATE: 5/12/11: I note with satisfaction that this buying page lists amounts of ELEMENTAL magnesium provided per spray which, for me, is the most helpful way to clarify the value of this product, in addition to the note, "nothing added, nothing taken away"... from what I need from the product. "Be careful what you wish for?" In this case I'm thankful!]
Thank you Life-Flo and Amazon for this economical offering of this life restoring product,
Linda Shelnutt
