Transdermal Magnesium Therapy: A New Modality for the Maintenance of Health

I am astounded at what I have learned from this book. I have type two diabetes and have tried many natural solution to control my diabetes without drugs. MgCl2 "oil" rubbed over my body dropped my blood sugar to 86 three hours after a dinner meal. I was shocked. I had been taking 1200 mg of magnesium daily, since I knew magnesium lowered insulin resistance. I was still magnesium deficient. The book stated that in order to get sufficient magnesium, you have to take as much orally, up to the bowel tolerance limit, PLUS, rubbing magnesium "oil" over most of your body. I am now waking up nearly every day with blood sugar levels, I.e., below a 100. I am doing this while still controlling the amount of carbs I consume. Dr. Sircus books on baking soda and iodine are equally shocking. Please get these books, if you care about your health.

For anyone who wants to be as healthy as possible, and to get there in the healthiest of ways, in my non-expert opinion, this book is a must read.

From my lay person's perspective, parts of the text read like a professional medical journal. [Readers not well versed in scientific study dialog could skim some of those parts and still get the essential information.]

Other parts of this New Modality read like a gift explaining in enthralling clarity a beautiful secret of Life. [I vacuumed those parts into my soul, which somehow seemed to already know this secret.]

Through a no nonsense, justifiably heated perspective, Dr. Sircus exposes a travesty of ignorance driven by arrogance, at best. I don't want to look at the worst.

From my lifelong experiences [64 years old] and private studies, I was aware of a good portion of what this true medicine man presents, though in a way he isn't presenting medicine: In his own terms of integrity Dr. Sircus is promoting the purest, simplest, most potent type of healing, balancing, strengthening force available at this time.

Prior to reading this phenomenal book, I had taken my unique path with this mineral, as per my reviews, comment strings, and Listmania. But, what this doctor has compiled and written in this follow up of his first transdermal therapy book, provides keys and attitudes which were welcome, needed to confirm, reinforce, shore up, and enhance the body of information, intuition, and experience I had collected.

As Dr. Mark Allen Sircus says here:

Magnesium is The Lamp of Life.

I hadn't been able to comprehend why some facets of Orthodox medicine seemed to be attempting to extinguish this Lamp. This book exposes some of the plausible explanations.

I'm thankful that, IMO, our economy won't have to crash as the benefits of this type of information come to light, and shifts occur gradually in ways of practicing true healing.

It appears to me that it will take just enough time for wise individuals to see what books like this are saying, and to act upon pieces of truth in them to reverse health issues, thereby increasing awareness of success potential among those who are "taking their health in their own hands." History of human habit seems to indicate that most people will continue following established paths until true healers in all parts of the medical industry begin reading books like this, and perusing customer reviews of transdermal magnesium products.

I want to believe, and am praying that humanity will gradually follow the Lamp of Light to sparkling baths of human DNA integrity [excuse the word drama; I write sci fi fantasy, lol].

Drama aside, I've known and experienced that Magnesium sets the priorities of the Life Force. This book gives some of the proof.

For details of what, specifically, transdermal magnesium can accomplish, read this book, and/or see other reviews, including mine, on magnesium products available on Amazon and elsewhere, including one of the magnesium chloride sprays Dr. Sircus recommends:

Ancient Minerals Ultra Pure Magnesium Oil 8 oz..

Also feel free to see my Listmania on my Amazon Profile.

For details on background and/or verity of reviewers promoting various products, wisdom might guide you to click on their names to see any Profiles they have built here on Amazon.

I am not affiliated with any product I review. I'm here because I care about the path of human health being simple, pure, gentle, and effective from all angles of cost and cure.

As I posted on a one star comment elsewhere, I agree that he needs to give a better plan of action, but I would still give this book a much better rating simply because of the enormous amount of desparately needed information he includes. He sounds out a battle cry that desparately needs to be sounded and he does give you places to look for more information. The number of conditions he connects to magnesium deficiency are amazing and he always gives more sources. I think the book would be too large if he went into more detail. It is a bit technical for the average Joe, but anybody can get an amazing amount of desparately needed information here.

If you are struggling with Cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, MS, arthritis, Alzheimers, ADD/ADHD, or have a child with Autism, you really need this book. You will be amazed what little old Magnesium can do. Like a lot of things, it has been hiding in plain sight all these years. If only we/they had listened; how many lives could have been saved?

This book is a lifesaver for me and my brother.

I am 59 years old and for the past two years, I suffered from tingling feet along with some weird numbness in my lower legs. My feet became hypersensitive and I couldn't stand to have my wife even touch them. At first, I began to look at my diet and started taking vitamins and various supplements. Later, I suspected I might be in the early stages of diabetes, so I tried cutting back on sugar and alcohol consumption. (I decided to only go to a doctor as a last resort--I didn't want to get a bunch of prescription drugs with who-knows-what side effects.) Eating better and exercising helped but I still had bouts of tingly feet, as if I might have some nerve damage.

A few weeks ago I discovered "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy: A New Modality for the Maintenance of Health" by Dr. Mark Sircus. He makes a strong case that most people are deficient in magnesium, and many of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency I seemed to be experiencing.

As recommended, I tried soaking my feet in a hot solution of magnesium chloride for about an hour. When finished, my feet felt wonderful, so much so that I asked my wife to rub them later. The sensitivity was gone! I began using magensium oil daily to stay on top of this situation. So far, so good.

With such dramatic results, I thought of my brother who is 55.

My brother is a disabled veteran who has been diagnosed with MS and is on beaucoup medications. His health has declined markedly over the past few years and he needed to use a big walking stick just to get up and move around. Always in pain, he couldn't sleep well. After my fantastic results, I noted in the book that Dr. Sircus says that the symptoms of MS are the same as the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Hmmm.

Two weeks ago I drove up to see my brother with a bucket and some magnesium chloride. I told him what I wanted to do and shrugged and said "Okay" without much enthusiasm. I prepared a hot soak and I sat down with him for an hour while he soaked his feet. Toward the end of the session, he said he usually got charley horses in his toes if he tried curling them, but they felt fine. I left him with a small amount of magnesium chloride so he could do some more treatments.

The next day he called and said he had not felt so good in years! He had slept soundly and had no cramping at all. Several times he would say "It's not possible." He began rubbing the magnesium oil over his body and would continue to do so.

Two days ago, I drove up to see him with his Christmas present--a large jug of magnesium oil! He was moving around without his walking stick--he said he hasn't needed it. He looked healthier with more vigor than before. At one point he jumped up from his chair and smiled, saying he couldn't do that just two weeks earlier. He still has some pain, but he says he feels better each day. Pretty darn good if you ask me!

I am still new to magnesium chloride. But after using it just a short period of time, the results have been dramatic. Other family members have taken note and are starting to use it now too.

Magnesium chloride is amazing and this book tells you why. Now go see for yourself.

PS: Dr.Sircus' other book, "Sodium Bicarbonate Full Medical Review" is equally great. A must read!

Face Forward

Aucoin produces yet another beautiful and fun book about the art of make up. However, Face Forward is much like Making Faces without the practical techniques.

The book follows the same format as Making Faces without many improvements. The book begins with general articles about brows, lips, eyes, color, etc. However, these articles are truly general and only give written directions to achieve the looks in the photos. If you have the facial structures of the models, then these sections will be very useful to you! For the rest of us, I found the preliminary sections to be fun but not helpful.

The next section entitled "Face to Face" is useful with many before and after photos. The techniques are written and illustrated by photos of the make-over subject throughout the process. The looks are very natural and complimentary to the different ethnicities featured. I wish there were more makeovers in this section!

The final section entitled "Dimensions" features 48 different looks that are fun but not realistic for everyday use. In fact, most of the techniques demonstrated would only be useful for Halloween or a costume party. This section features many stars from Madonna to Tina Turner but offers little substantive content for everyday use.

Being a make-up-a-holic, I found Making Faces the better buy of the two. If you have to choose, choose Aucoin's first book for practical use. For fun, this book definitely takes the cake.

If you've ever looked at fashion magazines and wondered what makeup techniques went into creating the look, "Face Forward" may give you all the answers you need. Not only did Kevyn Aucoin do all the makeup in this book, but he also wrote it and contributed to the photography, art direction and design. He is a genius. Period.

Outside of the introductory chapters, the book is divided into five main parts: 1) "Behind Beauty," where Kevyn describes how he treats the face to bring out a wide range of attributes; 2) "Face to Face," which consists of in-depth photography and illustrations of the steps involved with creating beautiful looks; 3) "Dimensions," where Kevyn explores the "classic personifications of beauty" by making up actresses and models to look like stars of the past; and 4) & 5) forward-looking concepts of makeup techniques and the future of beauty, also using the faces of actresses (and even his mom).

I think it's great that someone as talented as Kevyn can be so generous in explaining his craft, but even if you're not into that, "Face Forward" holds up fantastically on its merits as an art/photography book: the resemblance of the current stars to the past ones is incredible (e.g., Winona Ryder as Elizabeth Taylor).

This book may be a little advanced for makeup artists who are just starting out, but hey, makeup is art, and art is about ideas, so it's definitely worth checking out. For anyone who is just plain interested in fashion and style, "Face Forward" will be intriguing, even if only for the skill exhibited in transforming one famous face into another. It's a masterpiece.

Kevyn Aucoin has outdone himself again. This is an awesome step by step account of how to transform yourself. I have his other books and I can definitely say that this is my favorite. He takes everyday people and morphs them into a more glamourous version of themselves. This man is a "Master Beauty Magician"!

I loved, loved, loved Kevyn's last book "Making Faces" because I could add a lot of the looks he did in his book to my everyday face. His techniques and tips were helpful and well illustrated. In this book, I found more looks that I would want to experiment with, but a lot of the makeovers he did had to do with classical movie stars, and therefore not very practical for everyday use. Both the makeup and the photography in this book are stellar, and the celebrities and unknown people alike look fabulous! However, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for basic makeup tips and ideas. Most of these looks are not for the office, much less daylight. But if you are interested in the art of makeup and designing character based makeup, this book is a must have. I saw this book at my beauty salon before I bought it, and I wanted it as soon as I saw how it featured pictures of people actually applying the makeup, and also when I noticed the faces of Julianne Moore, Tori Amos and some very pretty imperfect unfamiliar women that wore looks I could see myself in. FINAL VERDICT: Delightful for women who want to experiment and explore the artistry of makeup. Not suggested as a starting point for people seeking basic makeup know-how. If you do decide to get this book, I suggest taking some signature looks of the timeless celebrity faces and make them part of your style. I can't wait to add a little bit of Elizabeth Taylor's eye makeup into my everyday routine!

I saw Kevyn on the Oprah show! How beautiful the women were after Kevyn's talented artistry. The book is a must have. It shows the techniques that even we can use. Explained so even we can actually understand. This will be a great christmas gift for my girlfriends with the "six essential items" he recommends attached to the gift box! (so martha.....I know).....

The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You

I lived blissfully unaware of just how bad so many of our products are until my youngest was born and we discovered he had vicious allergies and asthma right from the start. It took going through a lot of doctors to find anyone even remotely interested in finding the problem instead of just masking symptoms with chemical creams and steroids. And this was back before allergens had to be clearly listed on labels. I spent countless sleepless nights on research and turning my house and our lives upside down trying to rid our house of as much crap as I could. My friends and family thought I was going nuts and OCD -I probably was!but I was really just a mom looking to give my baby boy some relief and had virtually no one to help me. As I read The Honest Life, all I keep thinking was "If only this book and brand existed 10 years ago!!" The sanity, sleep, frustration, and tears it would have saved me!!

Whether you're invested in doing a whole lifestyle change or just looking for some clean products and tips on how to cut chemical and toxin exposure from your life a little bit, definitely read this book. Even if you already know most of the information, it's filled with Jessica's personal tips, tricks, and suggestions, which can be helpful for anyone.

You also don't have to join a hippie commune in order to make substantial changes. Jessica herself admits on page one she eats meat, doesn't have time for cloth diapers, and doesn't grow her own food. She and her husband even eat and love bacon. You'll be amazed how simple most changes are. She does admit that she has the money to eat completely organic and buy the crazy expensive Eco-friendly chemical free crib mattresses, but understands that most people don't. (Thank you!!)

Jessica explains that this is her way of natural living. It may not be for everyone. But everyone CAN get some very useful information from this book. It's up to you what you choose to do with it. "No judgement! No guilt!"

The breakdown of book:

Introduction Jessica explains how it all started for her even though signs had been there all along (allergies, always getting sick and serial bouts of pneumonia, etc), all it took was a reaction to the fragrance in laundry detergent to open up the floodgates for her. Fans of Alba will find this interesting, too, as she discusses some of her early years. She also debunks the ever-frustrating rebuttal of "But we used that when we were kids and we're fine!" (Again, thank you!)

Chapter 1 Food: The basics of what eating "honest" is, what her diet entails, eating as local as possible (with some very useful links on how to), foods that are the highest in pesticide absorption, foods that resist pesticides the best, the basic lowdown about GMO's, tips on how to eat certain foods and what eating seasonally entails, cooking tips, snack ideas (especially for kids!), and the bads of plastics. She also touches on party ideas and even the subject of weight loss. Newcomers will gain a lot of helpful information and tips from this chapter, making it feel much less overwhelming. Just remember, this is Jessica's way of living. My family doesn't eat nuts or tofu (soy), but she does and so do millions of others. It's okay to pick what doesn't work for you.

Chapter 2 Personal Clean Care: Jessica states, "One hundred percent of women of childbearing age have detectable levels of phthalates in their system probably due to cosmetic use." Don't buy into "hypoallergenic", "fragrance free" and "green" claims they're still too often loaded with chemicals. And you don't have to have allergies, rashes, or rashes to be effected. These chemicals are linked to all sorts of things from hormone imbalances to cancer. Jessica helps break down how to find the safe products. Yes, she has her own product line. But she's not pushing it on you. She clearly states there are other brands and all-natural products at your disposal. This chapter was incredibly helpful for me because, even after years of research, food has become easy, but hygiene products are still a challenge.

Chapter 3 Make up & Beauty: Even more helpful for me than chapter 2 because safe makeup is even harder to come by and even more difficult for women to give up. Jessica breaks down the good, the bad, the ugly, and what your safe options are.

Chapter 4 Personal Style: This chapter is less on chemicals and toxins and more on Jessica's personal style and how she picks what makes her feel happy and comfortable in her own skin. It's a fun, light chapter and will appeal to Jessica's fans much more than those reading just for clean living tips. It does touch on dry cleaning.

Chapter 5 Your Home's Style: It's about finding a style for your home that is both minimalist and stylish, which can often be tricky. But, it offers information on safer products like carpets and paint, too. Go for real wood (vintage is even better) over fiberboard because of the difference in off gassing... It's impossible to keep everything in your home completely free of gasses. But simple tips like this can make a big difference. She breaks down the basics on how to get the toxins out and keep them out. She also offers basic DIY cleaner recipes that anyone can do. You'd be amazed at what you can do with some vinegar, baking soda, and lemons. And, surprise! They actually work!

Chapter 6 The Baby Chapter: prepare for parenthood without losing yourself. How to take care of yourself mentally and physically, and how to gently prepare your home and nursery for your expanding family. She offers her own parenting tips and advice. It also goes into diaper options and what to do if breast feeding isn't working. And then we have the dreaded lead-in-toys issue. She even touches on how to pack and travel with kids! Very helpful, especially for new parents.

Chapter 7 Inspiration: Who doesn't need a little inspiration from time to time?! This chapter reminds you that life can get heavy and weigh you down if you don't remember to have a little fun and take time to enjoy life. How to find balance, dinner parties, make your own pizza nights, recipes for sweet treats, nontoxic art supplies, make a fun outdoor playhouse or a wall garden... She also offers a list of her top "10 Essentials for An Honest Life" which I think are simple, but absolutely brilliant and spot on.

Chapter 8 Details!: Resources!!! There's nothing worse than people who preach, preach, preach, but offer no verbs on HOW to do what they're preaching. This chapter is full of pages and PAGES of links to helpful information, products, and some just light-hearted and fun. More pages of links for where to shop and brands that offer safe alternatives. It breaks down chapter by chapter what was covered, what to do, and where you can find help, information, and safe products. Honestly, if this book could only be one chapter, it would have to be this one. Worth it just for this list of resources alone!

This book is so much more than just information on ridding toxins, it's about simplifying all aspects of your life to create a peaceful, happy, healthy, and inspired environment for you and your family. If you're starting a whole life overhaul, this won't be the only book you'll ever use, but it's a great start full of all the basics. If you're just looking for a few tips on natural living, you'll find more than enough to pick through here. Ad if you're just a fan of Jessica, you'll like it, too, as it's got personal pictures and some details and stories from her personal life.

I'm so happy to see Jessica using her celebrity to do something so helpful for people and so positive. Read her blog or use her products if you want or don't, but I highly recommend reading The Honest Life to everyone.

I received The Honest Life after a long, busy day. It was like a cup of tea and a spark of encouragement from a friend. Jessica touches the issues of a modern, healthy life with style and grace. The design and imagery of the book left me feeling at home and in comfort. Lots of great tips and info. It's a nice book to come home to...

The Honest Life, by actress and mom Jessica Alba, is a book written out of her passion to provide a safe environment for her daughter before she was born. The Honest Life is for anyone who cares about providing their children and themselves with a healthy lifestyle.

Alba was pregnant with her first child and had asked her mom for a recommendation for baby detergent. She took her mom's advice and started cleaning clothes...only to discover she was breaking out in hives from it! Alba discovered it contained some nasty chemicals...and although her mom at used it on her as a child, research revealed that many of the products we used as children now contain new, untested chemicals. (Just a note: a major detergent just had to change its formula when it was discovered that one of the chemicals in it was carcinogenic.)

That's right--we have 1000's of products with chemicals that have been untested (never mind the result of combining chemicals). What is a consumer to do?

Alba set out to find the safest goods...along the way found out the companies "greenwash"--that while the worlds "natural" appear, many products are anything but.

Along the way, she created a green company call The Honest Company.

This book is what she learned along the way.

As an eco-friendly designer, I love to keep current on what is out there, and this book is terrific--especially for mothers who don't want to expose their children to harmful chemicals.

Alba begins with a chapter on food--which is clearly a passion of hers, as she loves to cook and eat. In it, she provides a blueprint for eating whole, seasonal, organic ,local food--or the safest alternatives. ...nothing groundbreaking if you know this stuff; for the newbie, invaluable. She also includes nice recipes.

Subsequent chapters includes tips for buying safe personal hygiene and makeup. Here she shows how companies try to fool you and directs us to safe choices.

There is a chapter on decorating and cleaning your home in an eco-friendly way. Next, a chapter on the safest products for your baby.

Finally, there is a chapter on resources which is very helpful.

Alba's approach is not to freak you out, but to introduce the reader to healthy, natural, fun products...products that are safe for you and the environment. She concedes she isn't perfect and understands that not everyone has the money to buy all organic, for instance. But she provides the reader/consumer with the tools to understand how to make the best choices.

If this book gets you hungry to learn more about green housekeeping, Home Enlightenment is a good source; for green living and a beautiful home, I recommend Harmonious Environment.

Recommend.

I wasnt sure what to expect from a book written by a celebrity and so far I am greatly pleased. Jessica Alba comes across as very down to earth and in touch with the world in a way that most average familes are. I am not even done reading her book (on page 22) but already find it very informative, helpful and interesing. I have only begun to recently educate myself on healthful eating and using products that are phalate and paraben free etc, so this book just helped confirm my efforts and gives me more information to continue my quest to keep my family safe and free of unwanted surprises in what we eat and use. I am waiting for a cookbook from her now! Although most of her recipes are simple and fresh I sure wouldnt mind it if she condensed your ideas and family favorites in a cookbook. I love this book! It will not be in a yardsale, its a keeper! I will recommend it to family and friends!
