How to use Epsom Salts
While it is safe to ingest Epsom Salts, this is not the most effective way to absorb the magnesium and sulfates. When ingested, the presence of medical drugs and stomach acid can work to decrease the effectiveness of ingested Epsom Salts. Studies have shown that the most effective way to absorb the magnesium and sulfate is through the skin:

•Epsom Salts Bath – one to two cups per bath, and soak for 30 minutes
•Epsom Salts Spray – spray a mixture of Epsom Salt and water onto the skin: one part salts to one part water
•Epsom Salts Footbath – one part salt to two parts water, and soak for 30 minutes
•Epsom Salts Cream – available over-the-counter
Epsom Salts can be found at any local drug or grocery store, and no prescription is required.

Aren't you finished with treatment now? I thought your PCR was on the 23rd - who cares about epson salts after treatment seriously?

In regard to the sulphates good - now we  can drinking all the we wine would like again!

While there are many cells in our body that perform different functions and have different internal structures they all have some basic function similarities. All our cells need water to survive and work and they all have 3 basic components (excluding red blood cells that eject their nucleus). These components are the Nucleus, the Internal Structure and the Plasma Membrane. Each of these components when combined performs specific functions. Even though they may perform different specific functions they all intake water, metabolize it and eject a waste product called nucleic acid. This waste product is then dealt with by the body's main cleaning systems; being the liver and the kidneys. This flow through system is very important and when something goes wrong; like the cell becoming clogged with toxins, problems begin to occur.

When the cell is functioning correctly it has a good flow of liquid (water) going through it. The liquid has two ways to enter and leave the cell structure. The outer membrane or plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier, meaning that it allows some substances to pass while excluding others.

When a substance can penetrate the plasma membrane without any energy input from the cell, it is called passive transport. When the cell must provide metabolic energy, the process is called active transport. The movement of water into the cell is an example of passive transport while movement of amino acids and most ions across the membrane is active transport.

The Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane as well as being selectively permeable has another very important function. It maintains a potential voltage difference between the internal structure of the cell and the intercellular fluid. Scientists are just now starting to realize the importance of the voltage that exists on the membrane itself. Its electrical value plays a part in helping the membrane be selectively permeable. If this voltage drops too low it contributes to loss of cell integrity. What is important here is that it has been scientifically proven that an unhealthy cell has a very poor membrane voltage.

There are a lot of things that can start to go wrong when we exert an outside influence on the cell, such as a toxin. Our bodies are more than capable of withstanding low levels of toxins but when these levels rise too high, a chain of events start to take place and the integrity of the cell is compromised. The integrity of the cell can be affected from both the outside or the inside and the toxins that cause the problem do not need to come from an external source, because the cell itself produces a waste product that could be considered as a toxin.

As we have already said the body has a natural defense mechanism for removing toxins from the system. In the average individual, these systems are functioning correctly but under load the system can break down and result in a toxin build up. For most people the threat of toxin build up is not only from having the cleaning system not operating correctly, but from the type of toxins we are now exposed too. Some toxins do not remain in the intercellular fluid and become attached to the cell membrane, and if the body is operating below 100% problems can occur.

Bill,im afraid if i try to explain your brain my not be able to comprend..LOL...im kidding..but to be honest, it to with the electricial charges in every living body on earth,the potassium sulfate(epson) absorbs into the body and make the body less acidic(negative charge,alkiline)  and balances the PH to higher level and this makes the cell walls in the body more efficient and they release toxic (acidic,postive charge) from the cells and actually makes it easy for the nutrients to get into the cells...most body cells today are and our bodys are positively charged and acidic...the epson salts make the body(cell walls) more neg charged ,therefore attractting out the toxins with are postive charged...

can you comprend?...

How does the epson salt know the difference between bad toxins and good minerals?

I regularly scrub myself, including my face with epsom salts in the shower. I also use it on my scalp and in my hair. I let is soak in for a while. I put about 2 cups to soak in the bath, or  1/2 cup for foot soaks. I also add some essential oils and a nice liquid bath soap to the bath.

Epsom salts leave your skin and hair super soft. They also draws out toxins, so one more benefit.

I love that stuff. Lots of celebrities and models have a big bucket in their bathrooms... they swear by it too.

So it is good for both aspects of health and beauty...
