MAGNESIUM – A Life Changing Nutrient!

Several interesting facts:

• More than 75 years ago, scientists declared Magnesium to be an essential mineral.
• Magnesium regulates more than 325 enzymes in the body, the most important of which produce, transport, store and utilize energy.
• Milk depletes Magnesium. Milk is loaded with Calciferol (synthetic vitamin D) which binds Magnesium.
• Research shows that many patients with Asthma and other bronchial diseases have low Magnesium.
• The Mercury content of dental amalgams drastically increases the excretion of Magnesium and Calcium from the kidneys.
• Magnesium helps eliminate heavy metals from the body.
•  Magnesium deficiency is common in most chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia sufferers.
• Magnesium keeps Calcium dissolved in the blood so it will not form kidney stones.
• Magnesium plays a pivotal role in the secretion and function of insulin; without it, Diabetes is inevitable.
• Magnesium prevents muscle spasms of the heart blood vessels, which can lead to a heart attack. Magnesium prevents muscle spasms of the peripheral blood vessels, which can lead to high blood pressure.
• Magnesium prevents Calcium buildup in cholesterol plaque in arteries, which lead to clogged arteries.
• Magnesium helps the brain recover from head injury.
• Magnesium relaxes head and neck muscles, tension that makes migraines worse.
• Magnesium is a blood thinner keeping thickened blood and tiny clots from causing blood vessel spasms and pain.
• Magnesium deficiency can produce symptoms of anxiety or depression, including muscle weakness, fatigue, eye twitches, insomnia, anorexia, apathy, apprehension, poor memory, confusion, anger, nervousness and rapid pulse.
•  Serotonin, the “feel-good” brain chemical that is boosted by Prozac, depends on Magnesium for its production and function.
• Low Magnesium levels are implicated in cases of suicide and severe depression.
• An over acidic body depletes Magnesium.
• The following drugs create Magnesium deficiencies: common diuretics, birth control pills, insulin, digitalis, most antibiotics and cortisone.
• Magnesium helps to transmit nerve signals.
• Magnesium produces and transports energy.
• Magnesium relaxes muscles.
•  Supplemental iron can impede Magnesium absorption and vice versa. (Take them several hours apart).
• Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium and Lactose all inhibit Magnesium absorption.
• A high-protein diet makes Magnesium deficiency worse.
• Soy products (high in phytic acid) inhibits Magnesium absorption.
• Carbonated drinks and processed foods, along with sugar, binds with Magnesium to make insoluble Magnesium Phosphate, which is not absorbed by the body.
• In general an average of only 50% of the ingested Magnesium is absorbed and even this rate will depend on many, many factors.
• Magnesium helps anxiety and panic attacks.
• Magnesium deficiency slows down the bowel, causing constipation and colitis.
• Bladder spasms (cystitis) are worsened by Magnesium deficiency.
• Insufficient Magnesium may cause hypertension.
• Magnesium helps prevent gynecological problems and many obstetrical conditions.
• Magnesium helps prevent bone loss and osteoporosis.
• Magnesium deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of Phosphorus and Calcium in saliva, which damages teeth.
• Magnesium keeps insulin under control, preventing hypoglycemia.
• Magnesium levels in our soil is extremely poor.
• Laboratory tests prove that fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs, milk and meats are not what they were a few generations ago – we are simply not getting the minerals – like Magnesium, that our bodies must have.
• Excess Magnesium in the system is very safe – creating only loose bowels.

MAGNESIUM IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MINERALS NEEDED BY THE HUMAN BODY.
