Bishofit – Magnesium Oil from Russia
May 26th, 2010 | 
Author:
Bishofit is a name for magnesium chloride salt which was formed millions of years ago as a result of evaporation of ancient seas. It lies deep underground – and is obtained by dissolving the crystals in water and pumping up the saturated solution. In this respect Bishofit has the same origin as Zechstein magnesium. It owes its name to a German chemist Gustav Bischof who first discovered underground deposits of magnesium chloride in 19th century.
The main constituent of Bishofit in its liquid form is Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate, some calcium sulphate, calcium chloride, calcium hydrocarbonate, sodium chloride, and of course water, with the overall mineral content of 400-450g per 1 litre of water. Additionally, Bishofit contains sodium, iodine, iron, bromide, silica, molybdenum, titanium, lithium, as well as traces of almost all the chemical elements of the Periodic Table.
Healing Properties of Bishofit
People have known about the healing properties of Bishofit for a long time and have been using it to treat muscle cramps, aches and pains, to calm nerves, relax, etc. It is widely used in balneology due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbago, and other conditions of the Musculo-skeletal and Nervous systems. It is also used to treat nervous tension, stress, a variety of skin conditions and a number of other problems.
Bishofit (Magnesium Chloride solution) is widely used in medicine for a number of pharmacological properties.
It has been found to:
* Stimulate protein/fat metabolism
* Reduce inflammation by lowering the levels of histamine and serotonin (mediators of inflammation)
* Speed up rehabilitation processes in the body
* Increase testosterone levels and sperm production
* Increase metabolic rate
* Strengthen immunity
* Slow down ageing
* Reduce cholesterol levels in the blood
* Improve the functioning of the Musculo-Skeletal system
* Reduce blood pressure
* Reduce symptoms of hay fever and allergies
* Significantly reduce heart disease and mortality
* Lower the incidence of cancers
* Improve the functioning of the Nervous System
* Reduce the effects of stress
* Increase phagocytosis
* Speed up tissue regeneration
* Improve skin condition
* Help with respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis, asthma, whooping-cough,
chronic respiratory complaints.
It has been proved to be a:
* Sedative
* Anti-inflammatory
* Bactericidal / fungicidal
* Improve micro-circulation
* Analgesic
* Immune regulator
The scientists of the Volgograd Medical Academy have been working on the research of Bishofit for over 20 years. The mineral has been approved in Russia as a balneological remedy. Considering the wide use of Bishofit in the treatment of various ailments in Russia, as well as its close similarity to a variety of medical products, a number of balneological products based on Bishofit have been developed. Russian scientists are working on pharmacological preparations based on Bishofit.

Food Allergies and Chemical Sensitivities Linked to Magnesium Deficiency
“Allergies and Chemical Sensitivities
Adelle Davis, writing in Let’s Have Healthy Children
In the book Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, the authors note that food allergies are usually associated with low hydrochloric acid levels and poor digestion. The authors’ rationale for this is that low stomach acid leaves food undigested and fermenting in the intestinal tract. This fermentation causes gas, bloating and stomach upset, the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Undigested and fermented food causes the body to raise histamine levels, which produce allergic reactions. This is why people take antihistamines for allergies, to lower histamine levels. Interestingly, Mg is needed to reduce histamine levels.
Low stomach acid levels reduce levels of beneficial intestinal bacteria which is needed for absorption of magnesium. When lab rats are deprived of magnesium, a wide variety of studies have noted that they develop allergy like symptoms. Their ears turn red and they develop skin problems. Rats with magnesium deficiencies have increases in histamine levels. They also have raised levels of white blood cell counts. Mg deficiency has been implicated in allergies and allergic skin reaction in many studies on humans, too. Variations of allergies, skin allergies, and raised white blood cells have all been noted as features of many chronic disorders.
People with chemical sensitivities also commonly have other conditions linked to Mg deficits such as allergies, fibromyalgia, mitral valve prolapse and anxiety disorders. They also tend to have temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), which has been linked to abnormalities of hyaluronic acid. Perhaps not coincidentally, hyaluronic acid is dependent upon magnesium for its synthesis.
Asthma is has been linked to Mg deficiencies in a wide variety of studies. Asthma and allergies not only frequently occur together, but they frequently occur together along with gastrointestinal upset in many chronic disorders including Mitral Valve Prolapse syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Gastrointestinal upset is often a sign of malabsorption problems, which can be a cause of nutritional deficiencies.”

Magnesium Deficiency Linked to Allergies
The following study has established a direct link between high histamine levels and acute magensium deficiency in rats:
“Drug Nutr Interact. 1987;5(2):89-96.
Specific change of histamine metabolism in acute magnesium-deficient young rats.
Nishio A, Ishiguro S, Miyao N.
Abstract
The effects of dietary magnesium (Mg) deficiency on histamine metabolism were studied. Young Wistar rats were fed a Mg-deficient diet (0.001% Mg diet) ad libitum for 8 days with control groups (0.07% Mg diet), food-restricted groups (0.21% Mg diet, but restricted to 5 g/rat/day), and refeeding groups (0.001% Mg diet for 6 days ad libitum, after that fed with a 0.21% Mg diet ad libitum for 2 days). Compared to the other groups, the plasma Mg level was markedly lower in the Mg-deficient group. A return from the lower Mg level to the controls took place after feeding them a 0.21% Mg diet for 2 days. Urinary histamine level increased rapidly after 4 days and reached a maximum on the eighth day of Mg deficiency. The high urinary histamine level in Mg-deficient rats decreased rapidly after feeding them a 0.21% Mg diet for 2 days. Histamine contents in some tissues increased on the eighth day of Mg deficiency. Other groups showed no significant change. The increased histamine content in Mg-deficient rats showed a tendency to return to control levels after feeding them a 0.21% Mg diet for 2 days. Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in some tissues of Mg-deficient rats increased markedly. The increased HDC activity dropped nearly to control levels after feeding them a 0.21% Mg diet for 2 days. Diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in the duodenum was high in control rats. Duodenal DAO activity decreased gradually and reached half the value of controls on the eighth day of Mg deficiency.
