The delivery of drugs transdermally (through the skin) provides several important advantages over traditional oral and intravenous delivery routes. Transdermally-delivered drugs avoid the risk and inconvenience of intravenous therapy, bypass the liver in terms of first-pass elimination, usually provide less

chance of an overdose or underdose, allow easy termination, and 20

permit both local and systemic treatment effects. ³²79

Many years ago I wrote a chapter called Detoxification Through the Skin ; we know how sweat, sauna, and clay create channels of elimination of chemicals and heavy metals from the body. The old saying goes here: whatever can go in can come out, and in fact we do find the skin very porous, allowing a river of substances in or out of the body.

Dr. Norman Shealy ³³70 conducted a study that showed transdermal absorption with magnesium chloride, and Dr. R. H. Waring ³³¹ did the same for magnesium sulfate. Both doctors found that their test results sustained the view that transdermal application of magnesium salts was a safe and easy way to increase magnesium levels in the body. According to Daniel Reid, the Epsom salts some people take as a magnesium supplement contains magnesium sulfate, which is much more rapidly excreted through the kidneys than is magnesium chloride, and is therefore more difficult to assimilate. The effects of magnesium chloride last much longer in the body. Compounds are thought to transfer through the skin by a predictable system of passive diffusion, defined by Fick’s Law ³³² and the rate of permeation.

I have been a certified massage therapist for the past four years and operate my own private practice. Since opening my business, I have tried almost every massage lotion, oil, gel, cream, etc. out there and I’ve never found the “perfect” one… until now. I specialize in deep tissue massage so I was always finding that the products I purchased were either too oily or even too dry with not enough glide to help me perform at my optimal level. I started using Ancient Minerals magnesium gel for the last month on most all my clients and the results have been fantastic. My clients love the fact that on top of receiving therapeutic work in the form of massage, they are also receiving magnesium transdermally. One of my clients has been suffering with fibromyalgia for the past year; she has come every week for the last month and she has never felt better. She can sleep through the night and her pain level has decreased drastically. Someone who came to me every week just to get through the following couple of days can now last the entire week feeling better… this means the world to her. I’m excited to see the clients that come into my office receive even more health benefits and improvements than from my bodywork alone.
