you dont need very much to do the job ... take one caplet every 3 days, or more often if needed, and after a week you will not have any more muscle spasms as long as you keep taking it.

Magnesium is the answer for muscle spasms -- ask any sports doctor. THe body does not readily absorb Magnesium without Calcium, and vice versa (this is why TUMS with Calcuim is a fucking scam!)

And don't worry because the body has a tolerance for high levels of both -- The only thing that will do you damage is the Zinc, but you would have to take about 10 caplets a day for this to be a problem.
Good advice!

I've recently replaced all of my household salt with himalayan salt crystals which have 80+ minerals in them as opposed to refined, processed salt which is sodium chloride. This is apparently a good solution for balancing levels of magnesium also ...

Here's some info about making a sole salt solution to drink: http://www.himalayancrystalsalt.com/html/the_sole.html

There's also other specific tablets like the above that you can get from a natural health shop which contain pure magnesium and other elements. I can't remember the exact one I was prescribed but its a blackmores product pcph or phpc or something but I'm in australia .... there's a range of them with different letters that all have different levels of sulphate, magnesium etc to balance your levels.

Here's a specific blackmores magnesium product:

Its really hard finding a good naturopath but if you are serious about keeping the man made shit out of your body you are on the right path.

Good luck ;-)
