For Seizure Prevention "I was treated intravenously for postpartum preeclampsia 6 days after delivery. I was sent to the hospital for high blood pressure and stayed for 2 days. It took a couple of hours before I felt the effects of the magnesium drip. The nurse said I would feel like I had the flu. I felt much worse! And no one said that I shouldn't be feeling these effects... The most disturbing was, after each hour of the drip, I kept feeling less and less muscle movement. I was getting slowly paralyzed. Not to mention the face flushing and nausea. After 14 hours, I was hardly able to do anything at all, even lift my arms or legs or speak! I'm glad the doctor shut off the drip after 16 hours. I wouldn't have been able to communicate at all. Anyone else?"

For Barium Poisoning "This is, in my opinion, a last resort for a serious bout of constipation that is pretty much guaranteed to relieve you. I’ve found it works best when one max dose is taken once a day for 2 days as opposed to one max dose every 6 or hours or so like the directions say. That gives your body time to utilize it and produce a complete bowel movement that is not painful."

For Barium Poisoning "Helped with the burning of my lower legs at night, constipation and pain in my joints and heart. I use it by putting a teaspoon of epsom salt in a glass of about a bit of warm water with a squirt of lemon juice followed by a full glass of water with lemon squirt. Just when I've been constipated too long."

Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) "I had a bad interaction with Pears Medicated Soap and Epsom salts in the bath. They caused a crystallization on my eyelashes and mucous membranes. It was severe, intense, and long-lasting. I wrote the people who make Pears already, but I'm fairly certain it's a very little known fact, so maybe you can get it noticed. Thank you."
