At the markets this morning I came across a stall selling Magnesium Chloride as a transdermal spray. On a list of 101 uses for their product, number 11 was Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I was very interested in how Magnesium Chloride treated Autism so I asked the stallholder for more information. She said it removes Mercury and other toxic metals from the body and relieves stress, anxiety and muscle tension and thus improves the symptoms of Autism (and apparently the other 100 conditions listed).
She gave me a pamphlet, which had a disclaimer at the bottom stating that the information provided was not verified by the TGA. Or anyone, except the stallholder.
I ended up buying some - not for my autism, but for my aching joints. I will let you know if I become any less autistic.

Lol. That s**t is hilarious. You should tell her that you were bitten by a warewolf and ask if it'll help with that?
Ask her if you can add your own testemonial. "I was a zombie, then I just sprayed myself all over with this and now I hardly eat human brains at all!"
Market stalls... what fun.

I wasn't aware I was arguing. I don't think I wasted my money as I use magnesium as a topical ointment already (prescribed).

A topical spray ... My PDR shows that similar concoctions have been touted as treatments for eczema and psoriasis. Have you been diagnosed with either of these conditions? If not, then you will be taking an old-fashioned skin treatment for nothing.
I've been diagnosed with both of these conditions.

And it won't cure Autism.
I'm aware of that. This forum really needs a sarcasm indicator.
then just type..............sarc/
like everyone else does to indicate that they are being sarcastic
you have been 'taken' ...... Fnord is correct

Oh. Is that what you type? I've never seen that before. I thought about putting in a smilie but that seemed wrong.
What do you mean "you have been taken"? Fnord is correct about what?

Fnord is correct is an absolute statement. He/it/she does not need to be correct about anything. Fnord is correct innately.
Market stalls? I'm fairly sceptical about a lot of the rubbish in pharmacies. I also had a professor of child psychiatry recommend fish oil for my autism. I would have been more impressed if he had recommended snake oil. Renowned psychiatrists can be quacks too, quackery is something of a necessity for psychiatry in general to function.

Hmm. The other side of the pamphlet reads:
"Magnesium deficiency has been scientifically identified as a critical factor in the onset of a wide variety of disease, from heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, inflammation and stroke to Alzeimer's, autism, cancer and many more."
There you go. It's scientifically identified.
It also says it "helps relieve stress, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, irritability and fatigue."
If it helps with those, I may very well appear less autistic.
Maybe the 'snake-oil' lady is right.

A few of the list do appear to appear to be possibly linked to a possible lack of Magnesium. Quite a few are very vague and some of them would appear to rewriting the laws of chemistry
Whilst it may help with T2 diabetes, if insulin resistance is down to Magnesium deficiency, it will do nothing for T2 or MODY.
It's unclear what they mean by "cholesterol". If they mean reducing this can itself cause peripheral and CNS neuropathy.
Some of the stuff reads like snake oil.

Apparently this miracle product can help with a heart attack (condition 48), if only everyone had this handy "Don't have a defibrillator, don't worry i have magnesium spray".
Seriously though my father in law has navigated the ridiculous hurdles in Australia to legitimately claim any medical benefits to products at a market stall. He used to sell Essential oils, with known and scientifically proven benefits (noting there are some people that claim these oils do more than they actually do), but couldn't advertise them as he couldn't afford to go through the very expensive process of making sure his specific products had those benefit. This person is really playing with fire if they are reported to the TGA, huge fines and possible jail time (in extreme cases, never actually heard of one but know its possible) are the penalties.
