Did magnets get there name from the greek town Magnesia?
Yes, the name "magnet" indeed comes from the ancient Greek region Magnesia, where lodestones (naturally magnetized rocks) were found. The magnetic properties of lodestones were likely first discovered in this region, leading to the name "magnet" being derived from Magnesia.
What is Potentiated Magnesium?
Potentiated Magnesium (pMg) is an advanced form of the essential mineral magnesium (Mg), featuring Maxcelint Uptake for enhanced intestinal absorption and optimum cellular utilization, overcomes magnesium's inherent hydrophilic nature (avoiding its laxative effect), and is the same advanced form of magnesium used in the following patents: U.S. 5,849,337, U.S. 6,372,264 (reference at www.uspto.gov), and the other pMgpatents issued in Canada, Japan, China, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Potentiated Magnesium supports and helps maintain the balance, stability, structural integrity and normal function of the cardiovascular system, cellular function, respiratory function, energy production, muscle function, and balances calcium metabolism. Potentiated Magnesium brings the essential mineral magnesium to its full potential. Potentiated Magnesium is made in the U.S.A. and is exclusively produced by Maxcelint Laboratories Inc. It is expected that pMg, along with other pMg-based products, will become available starting in 2010. www.maxcelint.com
Is Magnesium Citrate and Fleet Phospho Soda interchangable?
No, Magnesium Citrate and Fleet Phospho Soda are not interchangeable. They are different types of laxatives with different active ingredients and mechanisms of action. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the product label for each medication.
What is the Reaction between Magnesium Magnesium Carbonate and Hydrochloric acid?
magnesium carbonate + hydrochloric acid ---> magnesium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
MgCO3 + 2HCl ---> MgCl2 + H2O + CO2
Foods that are good sources of magnesium include leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and kale), nuts and seeds (like almonds and sunflower seeds), whole grains (such as brown rice and quinoa), and legumes (like black beans and chickpeas). Other sources include avocado, bananas, and dark chocolate.
Does Milk of Magnesia help you go into labor?
No, Milk of Magnesia will not help you go into labor. === ===
Yes, magnesium is an essential nutrient for the human body. It plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including energy production, DNA synthesis, and muscle function. Magnesium can be obtained from dietary sources such as nuts, seeds, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.
Is Milk of magnesia acidic or basic?
magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
Where is lodestone found besides in magnesia?
Lodestone is found in various parts of the world, including South Africa, Brazil, and the United States. It is commonly found in igneous rocks and can also be formed in sedimentary deposits through the alteration of existing magnetic minerals.
What relationships are there between magnesium and magnesium oxide?
Magnesium oxide is formed when magnesium metal reacts with oxygen. It is an oxide of magnesium. Magnesium is the metal, and magnesium oxide is the resulting compound formed when magnesium reacts with oxygen.
What are the properties of magnesium?
What are the characteristic properties of magnesium carbonate?
Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) is a white solid, inorganic salt. It has a high decomposition temperature, although there is dispute as to what this temperature is. Temperatures between 302 degrees Celsius and 662 degrees Celsius have been given by different reputable sources. It is non-toxic, although may be irritating to the skin and eyes. Magnesium Carbonate is also non-soluble in water and is often used as a drying agent.
Can you take milk of magnesia when you are on coumadin?
It is not recommended to take milk of magnesia while on Coumadin (warfarin) without consulting your healthcare provider. Milk of magnesia can affect the absorption of Coumadin and may alter its effectiveness in thinning the blood properly. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking any new medications or supplements while on Coumadin.
What is magnesium named after?

Can taking Milk of Magnesia daily be harmful?
I was told by my doctor to use it daily to prevent the constipation i encounter. I asked if i could use it daily without any problems and he said (quote) "yes you can use it for a year and stop or use it the rest of your life".
If taking it daily, you should also take a multi-vitamin, or just a potassium pill, or eat a banana. This is because the bowel movement associated with Milk of Magnesia removes much of the potassium in your body. So you need to replace the potassium as often as you take the Magnesia.
Are people good conductors of electricity?
The human body is very much like a thin rubber bag full of salt water. Usually the thin insulating membrane known as our skin does an excellent job of protecting us from all manner of harm, such as a poke with sharp stick, bacteria, viruses, dirt, and (only becoming an issue in the last 100 years) electricity. If any of these things are able to get past the protective barrier of our skin, they can cause a great deal of harm. Cuts, sores, scrapes, abrasions, and rashes all represent weak spots in our skin and all of them are potential routes for infection. They are also potential routes for electric shocks to do much more harm than we are accustomed to them doing. Although the skin has a very large resistance (on the order of MegaOhms), the salt water (electrolyte) solution that is in your body is designed specifically to conduct electricity, so that your nerve impulses can reach the muscles and do those little things we enjoy doing so much, such as walking and breathing. Normally, dry skin in good condition is insulating enough to provide fair protection against electric shocks up to 120VAC, such as is found in a typical North American electrical outlet. 240VAC is quite capable of knocking you flat on your ass and rendering you unconscious for a while, but still little lasting damage is usually done. If the electrical shock is strong enough, it will stop your heart and kill you.
What is the pH of milk of magnesia?
The pH of milk of magnesia is typically around 10.5, making it slightly basic. This alkaline nature helps neutralize stomach acid, making it an effective treatment for heartburn and indigestion.
Does walking really help you to go in labor?
I had a friend of mine who walked everyday around the high school track for a really long time and she never went into labor. She tried everything, short of castor oil.
