You’ll read about Jim in today’s post.
(Note: Many of you, and myself as well, have used magnesium supplements. However, personally, I started achieving incredible results when I stopped using regular magnesium supplements and started following the below protocol. So, even if you’ve taken magnesium in the past, keep reading, this is important).
July’s supplement of the month is magnesium. Wait, wait! Don’t run off and ignore this info. I know you’ve heard of magnesium before. But you haven’t heard of it used like this! This is an incredibly important topic.
Back when I was writing my book, Lyme Disease and Rife Machines, in 2004, we knew magnesium deficiency was a big problem in Lyme disease. I had this to say about magnesium in that book.
Later, in 2010, I shared a fascinating scientific journal article published in Romania, which documents a few cases of Lyme disease concurrent with magnesium deficiency. In these cases, the patients did not respond to treatment of Lyme disease until their magnesium deficiency was addressed!
I’m not the only one who advocates magnesium replenishment – most LLMD’s do too. So, throughout the years, Lyme sufferers have been faithfully taking their magnesium supplements. Many types of magnesium are used, and one of my favorites has always been magnesium chloride.
Fast forward to the year 2016. My friend Jim, who is also the moderator of this Lyme chat group with over 1700 members, introduced me to a whole new way to use magnesium. It involves using a magnesium oil product (he recommends this one), and using it topically instead of orally.
Furthermore, some Lyme doctors are also recommending using magnesium oil topically instead of ingesting magnesium supplements. It is believed that ingested magnesium can feed spirochetes and also contribute to the building of bacterial biofilm communities. Personally, I’ve not seen evidence that transdermal magnesium is less of a culprit in this area, but I do tend to trust the doctors who have this stance.
In any case, there have been some interesting reports from Lyme sufferers who have switched using oral magnesium and started using magnesium oil on their skin. In fact, some have reported dramatic changes in their health, enough so that Jim now recommends the transdermal magnesium oil as one of his “Big 4” protocols on his online Lyme support group (Rife, M.M.S., Magnesium oil, Essiac tea)
The type of magnesium that my research has shown is best in Lyme disease is magnesium chloride. It just so happens that these magnesium oil products contain exactly that kind of magnesium! And, it’s not surprising that an oil-based product would be most effective, given that oil is fat soluble and would penetrate deeper body tissues and the brain more effectively (similar to liposomal compounds of other supplements).
Due to the affordability of magnesium oil and the serious dangers of magnesium deficiency, especially as it relates to Lyme disease, I feel that this is very important information to share, and I suggest that people discuss the magnesium oil protocol with their doctors (a prescription isn’t required to purchase the product, but I always suggest people get approval from their doctors before starting new treatments).
Below is Jim’s own story of discovering magnesium oil even after oral magnesium failed to cure his magnesium deficiency. I also recommend people read Jim’s “basic instructions” for the magnesium oil protocol. Please remember that myself and Jim are not doctors; we are simply Lyme survivors helping to further this important cause. Please consult your doctor before using any new treatments. Lastly, here’s another very intriguing story of using magnesium oil with Lyme disease.
Jim’s recommended magnesium oil:
Jim’s Story:
By mid 2008, I started getting severe left chest pains… Funny thing, I was telling all new members to dose up with oral magnesiums because it helped with heart issues, but I somehow didn’t associate my heart issues with a magnesium problem because I was using it (oral mag) up to bowel tolerance, I guess I assumed magnesium was not the issue. 911 was summoned to my home twice during the first half of 2008 for severe heart symptoms, racing heart and another time greatly irregular heartbeats.. I refused to go to the hospital as I was told I should.
Then one day it happened, I had 10 out of 10 heart attack symptoms and I called my wife and alerted her… I was rushed to the hospital, admitted and a battery of tests were done on my heart.. After 3 days of testing, I was released “with the heart of an athlete,” the doctors at the heart institute said I definitely did not have heart disease.
Well back on group and I had posted from my hospital room about my dilemma, and soon I was bombarded by some members with pressure to dump the oral mags in favor of starting Magnesium Oil.. Well I first had to research all about Magnesium Oil and I was highly impressed with the research, even found that Bryan Rosner says Magnesium Chloride (what Mag Oil is) is the one of best magnesium for Lyme, so I dumped the oral magnesiums, started using the Magnesium Oil.. After the initial adjustment period of getting my skin acclimated to the Mag Oil, I was doing 80 skin sprays daily @ 100% strength, this was 1000 mg of magnesium daily. Since Mag Oil is Magnesium Chloride, I knew the chloride would produce more stomach acid, something I found I was very low of at Mayo Clinic..
I assumed 1000 mg of Mag Oil was plenty, but those chest pains continued to worsen.. My heart doctor assumed the chest pain was maybe from a muscle sprain, but it wasn’t clearing up..
Sometime in 2009, again 911 and the Paramedics rushed to my home, my blood pressure was 71/42, gosh I wondered if I was even still alive.. Plus my pulse rate was very erratic fluctuating between 60 and 133 right in front of them, the paramedics said I needed to be hospitalized immediately, but again I refused, I honestly think I was giving up because this heart issue was really worsening and I did fear the worst and the last place I wanted to be was in the hospital. My heart was failing and I really worried about this..
Then about a month later, I again had 8 out of 10 heart attack symptoms, called my wife and I was rushed to the ER, and again admitted.. A person I befriended online from another support group, he was an ER doctor in his past life before contracting Lyme, well he insisted I persuade the heart doctors to do a “cardiac catheterization”, this is where a probe is inserted in the groin and up to the heart, checking the main arteries for calcium, the goal was since on my last stay my heart was given a good bill of health, now it was time to check my arteries… Well as it turns out my arteries are whistle clean and after another 3 day stay and even more testing, I was released again, with “the heart of an athlete and whistle clean arteries.. This group was open for about 3 months and I was only posting on this group at the time.. I had dropped my other 3 Lyme groups as it became insanity trying to keep up wilt all of them.. I posted about my stay in the hospital.

But again, I was dealing with terrible chest and left arm pain, the heart doctors felt this was most likely a muscular skeletal issue, but I was no longer buying this.. I really worried about this, I wondered if I would not just drop dead one day as this left chest and arm pain was so intense.. So I took an inventory of myself, my supps and my killing protocols and the only thing I came up with that even remotely made sense was my Magnesium levels had to be low.. Still faithfully using 80 sprays of Mag Oil, 1000 mg daily, I wondered if maybe I needed more? So I posted to the group that I would be increasing my Magnesium Oil from about 1000 mg to one ounce daily (3300mg) and so I started this.. After about a month or two, my chest pain was improving some, but not ending.. But now it was somewhat better, I definitely related this to the increased Mag Oil..
So I posted I was going to increase my Mag Oil dose again, this time to 2 ounces in a foot soak, I knew I could not spray this huge amount on me and I would also use about 40 skin sprays.. All during this time, I had been researching only Magnesium Oil, I knew the oral mag was a big mistake because with just one ounce of Mag Oil daily, my chest and left arm pain was improving..
Well fast forward about 3 months more and I have no chest pain and no left arm pain and a lot of other Magnesium deficiency symptoms had also cleared up.. I was finally over this heart issue that really plagued me for a few years.. Not once did the heart specialists mention high dosing of magnesium.
So at 1 ounce of Mag oil, 3300 mg daily for about a month, then 2 ounces , 6600 mg for a good 3 months more and my magnesium deficiency symptoms were gone, the main one being this heart issue.. I was also feeling much better and that is when I realized how important Magnesium Oil was to ending Lyme disease and I elevated to one of this group’s 4 main treatment protocols.. I found if the magnesium deficiency all Lymies have is not resolved, you can not be cured of Lyme disease. Magnesium deficiency is present in some Lyme disease symptoms.
Since my big improvements after using high doses of Magnesium Oil, others also have benefited from resolving their own magnesium deficiencies after they started using Magnesium Oil.
