Below is a summary of how best how to use ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil for your patients. This will help you to give the best advice for the condition being treated and best results for improvement on the patient’s part. 80% of people living in industrialized nations are magnesium deficient irrespective of diet and oral magnesium supplementation; therefore their intracellular magnesium levels are low. In order to raise these levels application of ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil to large parts of the body daily for a period of 1 – 3 months is essential. In most instances 1 month would be sufficient unless the patient is heavily stressed, taking diuretics, heart medication, undergoing hormone replacement therapy or engages in a lot of sporting activity and has a regular Below are 3 protocols which can be used with your patients. Recommendations are given how best to apply these protocols for each ailment your patient may be suffering from. If there is an ailment not mentioned you would like guidance with just email [email protected] for some advice on which protocols are best.

1. General indications.
It is recommended that the following regime be followed 1-2 x daily depending how depleted the bodies Apply 5 sprays of ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil daily to each arm and each leg then gently and quickly with little effort rub in until absorbed. In the same manner apply 5 sprays to chest and abdomen. Leave on the body for minimum 30 minutes. After which you may wash off if desired or just leave it on. 2. Oral indications
Spray approximately 10 sprays of Ancient Minerals magnesium oil into a glass containing a small amount of water or juice and drink 1 – 2 x daily. 3. Local indications
Spray Ancient Minerals magnesium oil to all areas of local discomfort on the body and rub in 2-3 x daily or 4. Intracellular Magnesium tests
Most magnesium tests are done on the serum levels in the body and not where it counts, namely intracellular. Thus most practitioners if they do think a magnesium deficiency is causing the problem with their patient, get a reading within limits from the serum as the body always tries to keep serum magnesium balanced. The problem starts within the cell where the magnesium levels are low. To correctly test for magnesium deficiency in the body, TEST THE INTRACELLULAR LEVELS. This is performed using the
EXA test for magnesium. Another method of testing, although not as precise as the EXA test is to get your patient to take the magnesium questionnaire found at (http://www.vibranthealthsolutions.co.za/index.php/question?task=showmbmod&mid=62) Get them to complete the questionnaire before they start with Ancient Minerals usage. Thereafter to take the questionnaire at monthly intervals for 3 months As a practitioner this is a cheap effective monitoring technique to be able to evaluate the improvement in intracellular magnesium levels.

Transdermal magnesium should be used with caution where:
Patients are suffering with renal failure. Dehydration, especially in children- first address dehydration needs. Disappearance of the patella reflex is a useful clinical sign to detect onset of magnesium intoxication The most common cause of hyper magnesia is renal failure. Other causes include: Some recommendations on dosing related to medications when used with magnesium are:
Doxycycline, Minocycline, Tetracycline Hydrochloride are all made less effective with the use of
magnesium. Take magnesium supplements 1-3 hours before or after ingesting.
The following diabetic medicines (Glipizide and Glyburide (Micronase, Glynase, Diabeta) if taken
together with magnesium may lower blood sugar. Ultimately this may allow for reduction in dosage of Taking magnesium and Ponstel (Mefennamic acid) together may increase side effects. It is often used for ANCIENT MINERALS does not stain clothes and is odorless In some instances a fine white powdery residue can be found on the skin some time after application.

Suggested specific protocol plans for different ailments
1. ACHES PAINS AND ARTHRITIS
Very effective in removing pain and aches especially when body is suffering consequences of chronic disease. a) General protocol
b) Local protocol
c) Oral protocol
Continue all 3 protocols for 1-3 months or until improvement in symptoms are seen. Thereafter reduce general protocol to 1 x daily and local indication can continue. 2. DEPRESSION
Magnesium is central to the production of serotonin which is our ‘feel good’ hormone. a) General indications regime for a period of 3 months minimum, although you should see
improvement before this. It is important to raise the intracellular magnesium levels in this chronic 3. ADHD AND HYPERACTIVITY DISORDERS
a) General indications
b) Oral indications
4. ANXIETY, IRRITABILITY, STRESS
a) General protocol
b) Oral protocol
Duration for 1-3 months depending on if the stress is continual or if it has ceased. Production of DHEA is important to facilitate cortisol production and this is important when dealing with stress. 5. ARRYTHMIA / ANGINA/ MYOCARDIA INFARCTION
Magnesium co ordinates the activity of the heart muscle as well as the nerves that initiate heartbeat a) General indications for a period of 3 months minimum, although you should see improvement before
this. It is important to raise the intracellular magnesium levels in this chronic disease, which is usually 6. ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
Over 90% of athletes are magnesium deficient due to their increased levels of stress put on the body and their increased amount of perspiration produced, in which magnesium is eliminated. Therefore in order to replace this magnesium over a relatively short period of time implement the following protocol! a) General indications.
It is recommended that the following regime be followed 1-2 x daily depending how depleted the bodies intracellular magnesium levels are. Usually 2 x daily for 2 months then you can decide to Apply 5 sprays of ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil daily to each arm and each leg then gently and quickly with little effort rub in until absorbed. In the same manner apply 5 sprays to chest and abdomen. b) Oral indications
Spray approximately 10 sprays of Ancient Minerals magnesium oil into a glass containing a small amount of water or juice and drink 1 – 2 x daily. c) Local indications
Spray Ancient Minerals magnesium oil to arms and legs before training and after training. The pre work out application of magnesium will prime the body with magnesium for release of energy via ATP, reduce fatigue and the potential for dehydration, especially in endurance The post work out application will also assist with post exercise recovery and improve protein synthesis, weakness, stiffness and fatigue the day after Should you not train every day ensure that you continue to implement the general indication protocol irrespective. Remember as stated above athletes have rather large magnesium deficiencies and it can take up to 3 months to replenish the bodies supplies, although results are often noticed within the first week of application. Most athletes feel so good once they have replenished the magnesium levels that they continue to use the ANCIENT MINERALS 7. CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
a) General protocol
b) Local protocol
c) Oral protocol if there is localized pain or weakness
8. DETOXIFICATION
Remember all detoxification needs energy in order to be able to eliminate toxins from the cell. Magnesium a) General protocol for a period of 1 month,
b) Oral protocol- 3 x daily. Reduce to 2 x daily if diarrhea ensues.
9. DIABETES/INSULIN RESISTANCE/SYNDROME X
Magnesium is involved with the production of the insulin molecule and lack of magnesium can lead to insulin a) General protocol
b) Local protocol can be used if suffering from diabetic symptoms manifesting in localized areas
including, neuropathy, fungal infections, pain and cramps, varicose veins, corneal ulcers c) Oral protocol

Continue for 1-3 months and reassess the condition. 5. HYPERTENSION / CHOLESTEROL
Magnesium is well known to cause relaxation of muscles and the musculatures of the arteries are no exception. Note that magnesium can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure so the patients should be monitored, especially if a) General protocol
b) Oral protocol
Continue for 3 months with regular monitoring of blood pressure readings. It is important to raise the intracellular magnesium levels in this chronic disease, which is usually very low. 10. INSOMNIA
Insomnia due to magnesium deficiency can be precipitated by stress worry and hormone imbalances including a) General protocol ensure last application is close to bedtime
b) Oral protocol
Continue for 1-3 months or until improvement in symptoms are seen. Thereafter reduce general protocol to 1 x daily and oral protocol can be stopped. In times of stress you may consider increasing general protocol to 2 x daily. Hormone imbalances are often improved via the release of the precursor hormone DHEA which is stimulated by the application of ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil to the skin. 11. MENOPAUSE/PMS AND HORMONE IMBALANCE
Transdermal magnesium stimulates the release of DHEA which is produced by the adrenal glands and is a precursor hormone to estrogen and testosterone. a) General indications for a period of 3 months minimum, although you should see improvement before
this. It is important to raise the intracellular magnesium levels in this chronic disease, which is usually Point of comfort
Should the patient feel uncomfortable and experience a slight tingling or itch of the skin, this will only be apparent initially. (Often a sign of very low magnesium status) and it is recommended that they either: 1. Try application to other areas of their body that are perhaps not so sensitive, or 2. Wash it off with a damp cloth after 30 min of application, or just apply it 30 min before they intend to bath or shower (it will have already have been absorbed) or 3. Dilute the ANCIENT MINERALS with some pure water. Usually this is only present for the first week of application
