Magnesium Reaction

[Guest guest]

Magnesium is a metal and eating metal draws calcium from your bones and teeth.

That's why they ache. Please don't eat metal.

Jared,

 

Are you saying we do not need magnesium? I've never heard anyone recommend

to not use magnesium. I use magnesium, and I know it helps me. Please

explain more. Are you speaking of one form in particular? Your comment

does not make any sense.

It sounds to me like you are low on calcium. If you take magnesium you

should be taking calcium with it. For instance 1000mg cal. to 500 mg

mag. add vit D to the mix and you will be fine. No more aching teeth.

 

The muscles, including the heart need both to function properly and of

course the bones need calcium and vit d. Also be careful with

magnesium, too much can give you the runs.

so how do we get magnisium best way possible?

is magnisium cloride not a salt rather than a metal?

please refer to the following article:

 

We Know That We Need Magnesium for Our Health. But Why Magnesium

Chloride?

Magnesium

is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of

diseases, as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We know that

it is essential for many enzyme reactions (especially in regard to cellular

energy production), for the health of the brain and nervous system, and also

for healthy teeth and bones. However, many are not aware that - in the form of

magnesium chloride - it is also an impressive infection fighter.

 

The first prominent researcher to investigate and promote the antibiotic

effects of magnesium was a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet. In 1915 he was

looking for a safe solution to cleanse wounds of soldiers, because he had found

that traditionally used antiseptics actually damaged tissues and encouraged

infections instead of preventing them. In all of his tests, magnesium chloride

solution proved by far the best answer. Not only was it harmless for

tissues, but it also greatly increased leucocyte activity and phagocytosis (the

destruction of microbes).

 

After World War I, Prof. Delbet performed experiments with internal

applications of magnesium chloride, and found it to be a powerful immune

stimulant. In his experiments, phagocytosis increased by up to 333%. This means

that, after magnesium chloride intake, the same number of white blood cells

destroyed up to three times more microbes than beforehand.

 

Over the years, Prof. Delbet found magnesium chloride to be beneficial in

a wide range of diseases. These included diseases of the digestive tract such

as colitis and gall bladder problems, Parkinson's disease, tremors and muscle

cramps; acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts and itching skin; impotence, prostatic

hypertrophy, cerebral and circulatory problems; asthma, hay fever, urticaria

and anaphylactic reactions. Hair and nails became stronger and healthier, and

patients also had more energy.

 

Prof. Delbet also found an excellent preventative effect on cancer, and he

cured precancerous conditions such as leukoplasia, hyperkeratosis and chronic

mastitis. (Epidemiological studies have since confirmed that regions with

magnesium-rich soil have a lower cancer rate than those deficient

in magnesium.)

 

Another French doctor, A. Neveu, cured several diphtheria patients with

magnesium chloride in just two days. He also published 15 cases of

poliomyelitis that were cured within days if treatment was started immediately,

or within months if paralysis had already progressed. Neveu also found

magnesium chloride effective with asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and emphysema;

pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hoarseness, common cold, influenza, whooping cough,

measles, rubella, mumps, scarlet fever; poisoning, gastroenteritis, boils,

abscesses, infected wounds and osteomyelitis.

 

In more recent years Dr Raul Vergini and others have confirmed these earlier

results and have added more diseases to the list of successful uses: acute

asthma attacks, shock, tetanus, herpes zoster, acute and chronic

conjunctivitis, optic neuritis, rheumatic diseases, many allergic diseases,

chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer. In all of these cases magnesium

chloride gave much better results than other magnesium compounds.

 

Magnesium

for Nerves

Magnesium

has a calming effect on the nervous system, and is frequently used to

promote good sleep. But, more importantly, it can be used to calm irritated and

over-excited people. This is especially useful with epileptic seizures,

convulsions in pregnant women and the `shakes' in alcoholism. Magnesium levels

are generally low in alcoholics, contributing or causing many of their health

problems. If magnesium levels are low, the nerves lose control over muscle

activity,

respiration and mental processes. Nervous fatigue, tics and twitches, tremors,

irritability, hypersensitivity, muscle spasms, restlessness, anxiety,

confusion, disorientation and irregular heartbeat all respond to increased

magnesium levels. A common phenomenon of magnesium deficiency is a sharp muscle

reaction to an unexpected loud noise. `Memory pills' have been marketed that

consist mainly of magnesium.

 

Many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease can be overcome with high magnesium

supplementation. Shaking can be prevented and rigidity eased. Pregnant

women often develop convulsions, nausea, dizziness and headaches. In

hospitals this is treated with magnesium infusions. Because of its strong

relaxing effect, magnesium helps not only to have a better sleep but is also

useful in overcoming headaches and migraines. Even the number of suicides are

linked to magnesium deficiency. The lower the magnesium content in soil and

water in a given region, the higher the rate of suicides.

 

Epilepsy is marked by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood, spinal

fluid and brain, causing hyperexcitability in regions of the brain. There are

many reported cases of epilepsy greatly improving or disappearing with

magnesium supplementation. In a trial with 30 epileptics. 450 mg of magnesium

supplied daily successfully controlled seizures. Another study found that the

lower the magnesium blood levels, the more severe the epilepsy. Magnesium

often works best in combination with vitamin B6 and zinc. In sufficient

concentrations,

magnesium inhibits convulsions by limiting or slowing the spread of the

electric discharge from an isolated group of brain cells to the rest of the

brain. Animal studies show that even the initial burst of firing nerve cells

that starts an epileptic attack can be suppressed with magnesium.

Magnesium

for the Heart

Adequate

levels of magnesium are essential for the heart muscle. Those who die from

heart attacks have very low magnesium, but high calcium levels in their heart

muscles. Patients with coronary heart disease who have been treated with large

amounts of magnesium survived better than those with drug treatment. Magnesium

dilates the arteries of the heart and lowers cholesterol and fat levels.

 

High calcium levels, on the other hand, constrict the heart arteries and

increase the risk of heart attacks. Calcium deposits in the walls of the

arteries contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis. The arteries become

hard and rigid, thereby restricting the blood flow and causing high blood

pressure.

In addition, such inelastic blood vessels may easily rupture and cause strokes.

Countries with the highest calcium to magnesium ratios (high calcium and low

magnesium levels) in soil and water have the highest incidence of

cardiovascular disease. At the top of the list is Australia.

 

Worldwide the intake of magnesium has been lowered and that of calcium

increased because of the heavy use of fertilisers high in calcium and low in

magnesium. With this, the intake of magnesium from our food has steadily

decreased in the last fifty years, while the use of calcium-rich fertilisers

and cardiovascular disease have greatly increased at the same time.

 

Diabetics are prone to atherosclerosis, fatty degeneration of the liver and

heart disease. Diabetics have low magnesium tissue levels. They often develop

eye problems such as retinopathy. Diabetics with the lowest magnesium levels

had the most severe retinopathy. The lower the magnesium content of their

water, the higher is the death rate of diabetics from cardiovascular disease.

In an American study the death rate due to diabetes was four times higher in

areas with low magnesium water levels.

 

Magnesium

for Healthy Bones & Teeth

Medical

authorities claim that the widespread incidence of osteoporosis and tooth decay

in western countries can be prevented with a high calcium intake. However,

published evidence reveals that the opposite is true. Asian and African

populations with a very low intake (300mg of calcium) daily have very little

osteoporosis. Bantu women with an intake of 200 to 300 mg of calcium daily have

the lowest incidence of osteoporosis in the world. In western

countries, due to a high intake of dairy products, the average

calcium intake is about 1000 mg. The higher the calcium intake, especially in

the form of cows' milk products (except butter) the higher the incidence of

osteoporosis.

 

Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus levels are kept in a seesaw balance by the

parathyroid hormones. If calcium goes up, magnesium goes down and vice versa.

With a low magnesium intake, calcium goes out of the bones to increase tissue

levels, while a high magnesium intake causes calcium to go out of the tissues

into the bones. A high phosphorus intake without a high calcium or magnesium

intake causes calcium to leach from the bones and leave the body with the

urine. A high phosphorus intake with high calcium and magnesium leads to bone

mineralisation.

 

Dr Lewis Barnett, an orthopaedic surgeon, practised in two different U.S.

counties

with very different soil and water mineral levels. In Dallas County, with a high

calcium and low

magnesium concentration, osteoporosis and hip fractures were very common, while

in Hereford County, with high magnesium and low

calcium these were nearly absent. In Dallas County the magnesium content of

bones

was 0.5% while in Hereford it was 1.76% In another comparison the magnesium

content in bones of

osteoporosis sufferers was 0.62% while in healthy individuals it was 1.26%.

 

The same applies for healthy teeth. In a New Zealand study it was found that

caries-resistant teeth had on average twice the amount of magnesium as

caries-prone teeth. The average concentration of magnesium phosphate in bones

is about 1%, in teeth about 1.5%, in elephant tusks 2% and, in the teeth of

carnivorous animals designed to crush bones, it is 5%. In regard to the

strength of bones and teeth, think of calcium as chalk and of magnesium as

superglue. The magnesium superglue binds and transforms the chalk into superior

bones and teeth.

 

Cancer

and Aging

Many

studies have shown an increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium

levels in soil and drinking water. In Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10%

of that in Europe and America. Among

the rural fellahin it was almost nonexistent. The main difference was an

extremely

high magnesium intake of 2.5g per day in these cancer-free populations, ten

times more than in most western countries.

 

Dr A Seeger and Dr Johanna Budwig in Germany have shown that cancer is

mainly the result of a faulty energy metabolism in the powerhouses of the

cells, the mitochondria. A similar decline in energy production takes place

when we age. The great majority of enzymes involved in the production of energy

require magnesium. A healthy cell has high magnesium and low calcium levels. Up

to 30% of the energy of cells is used to pump calcium out of the cells. The

higher the calcium level and the lower the magnesium level in the

extra-cellular fluid, the harder it is for cells to pump the calcium out. The

result is that with low magnesium levels the mitochondria gradually calcify and

energy production decreases. We may say that our biochemical age is determined

by the ratio of magnesium to calcium within our cells. Tests with chronic

fatigue syndrome showed that magnesium supplementation resulted in better

energy levels.

 

We use our muscles by selectively contracting them. On the biochemical level,

muscle contraction is triggered by calcium ions flowing into muscle cells. To

relax the muscle calcium is pumped out again. However, as we age, more and more

calcium remains trapped in the muscles and these become more or less

permanently contracted, leading to increasing muscle tension and spasms.

Together with calcification of the joints, this is the typical rigidity and

inflexibility of old age. The higher our intake of calcium relative to

magnesium, the faster do we calcify and age. Most of the excess calcium in our

diet ends up in our soft tissues and around joints leading to calcification

with arthritic deformations, arteriosclerosis, cataracts, kidney stones and

senility. Dr Hans Selye proved experimentally that biochemical stress can lead

to the pathological calcification of almost any organ. The more stress, the

more calcification, the more rapid the aging.

 

The

Rejuvenation Mineral

In

addition to its anti-microbial and immune-stimulating properties, both

magnesium as well as chloride have other important functions in keeping us

young and healthy. Chloride, of course, is required to produce a large quantity

of gastric acid each day and is also needed to stimulate starch-digesting

enzymes. Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation, and prevents the

calcification of our organs and tissues that is characteristic of the old-age

related degeneration of our body.

 

Using other forms of magnesium is less advantageous, because these have to be

converted into chlorides in the body anyway. If we take magnesium as oxide or

carbonate, we then need to produce additional hydrochloric acid to absorb

the magnesium. Many aging individuals, especially those with chronic diseases

who desperately need more magnesium, cannot produce sufficient hydrochloric

acid and then cannot absorb the oxide or carbonate.

 

Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. It is soluble but not well-absorbed, and acts

mainly as a laxative. Chelated magnesium is well absorbed but much more

expensive, and lacks the beneficial contribution of the chloride ions. Orotates

are good, but very expensive for the amount of magnesium that they provide, and

both orotates and chelates seem to lack the infection-fighting potential of

magnesium chloride.

 

Calcium and magnesium are opposites in their effects on our body structure. As

a general rule, the softer our body structure the more we need calcium, while

the more rigid and inflexible it is, the less calcium and the more magnesium we

need. Magnesium can reverse the age-related degenerative calcification of our

body structure and with this help us to rejuvenate.

 

Young women, children and most of all babies have soft body structures and

smooth skin with low calcium and high magnesium levels in their cells and soft

tissues. This is the biochemistry of youth.

 

As we age we become more and more inflexible. The arteries harden to cause

arteriosclerosis, the skeletal system calcifies to cause rigidity with fusion

of the spine and joints, kidneys and other organs and glands increasingly

calcify and harden with stone formation, calcification in the eyes causes

cataracts, and even the skin hardens, becoming tough and wrinkled. In this way

calcium is in the same league as oxygen and free radicals, while magnesium

works together with hydrogen and the antioxidants to keep our body structure

soft

 

A gynaecologist reported that one of the first organs to calcify are the

ovaries, leading to pre-menstrual tension. When he put his patients on a high

magnesium intake their PMT vanished and they felt and looked much younger. Most

of these women said that they lost weight, increased their energy, felt less

depressed and enjoyed sex much more than before. For men it is equally

beneficial

for problems arising from an enlarged prostate gland. Symptoms commonly

disappear after a period of supplementation with magnesium chloride.

 

Increased magnesium intake has also been shown to be an effective way to

prevent or dissolve kidney stones and gall bladder stones. Digestive enzymes

and increased bile production help restore a healthy intestinal normalise

our digestive processes, reducing any digestive discomfort, bloating and

offensive stool odours. This is consistent with a reduction of all offensive

body odours, including underarm and foot odour.

 

Prof. Delbet gave magnesium chloride solution routinely to his patients

with infections, and for several days before any planned surgery and was

surprised by many of these patients experiencing euphoria and bursts of energy.

Magnesium chloride also has a specific action on the tetanus virus and its

effects on the body. It even seems to be protective against snakebites. Guinea

pigs did not die after normally lethal injections of snake venom and a rabbit

survived

a poisonous snakebite when given magnesium chloride solution.

 

In addition to being the most essential mineral in our cellular energy

production, magnesium is also needed for the ingested B-vitamins to become

metabolically active. Magnesium is also essential for the synthesis of nucleic

acids, for cell division to occur, for DNA and RNA synthesis of our genetic

material and for protein as well as fatty acid synthesis. Unfortunately

magnesium deficiency at a cellular level where it counts is not easy to

diagnose, as serum magnesium levels do not correlate to muscle or cellular

magnesium levels. Instead of trying difficult tissue magnesium analysis to find

out if your health problems may be due to low magnesium levels, it is much

easier and more effective just to take more magnesium and see what happens.

 

Rejuvenation by ingesting more magnesium is a slow process, especially as the

amount of magnesium that we can take is limited by its laxative effect and the

need to keep it in a reasonable balance with calcium and phosphorus intake. The

other problem is that spastic muscles have poor blood and lymph circulation,

which makes it difficult for the ingested magnesium to dissolve and flush out

the tissue and joint calcifications. Therefore, we can greatly speed up the

rejuvenation process by increasing the circulation through contracted muscles

with deep tissue massage, hot and cold water applications, relaxation

exercises, lymphasising and packs and rubs with magnesium chloride.

How

much?

Magnesium

chloride contains about 120 mg of magnesium per gram or 600 mg per rounded

teaspoon. It has a mild laxative effect. As a good maintenance intake to remain

healthy you may take a teaspoon daily in divided doses with meals. With raised

blood pressure and symptoms of magnesium deficiency you may temporarily

increase this to 2 teaspoons daily in divided doses. This may already cause

`loose stools' in some but that is generally beneficial. However, with low

blood pressure additional calcium may be required together with about 300 mg of

magnesium supplement for a ratio of two parts of calcium to one part of

magnesium.

 

Individuals with very sensitive taste buds may start using it in tiny amounts

mixed with strongly flavoured food and increase doses very gradually.

Alternatively,

drink it in one gulp dissolved in water while pinching your nose and quickly

drink something pleasant afterwards.With acute infections dissolve 40g or 8

slightly rounded teaspoons in 1 litre of water.

 

With children commonly a small glassful or 125 mL has been used every 6 hours.

Adults may double this dose by drinking this amount every 3 hours or even more

until diarrhoea develops and then cut back to a maintenance intake just below

the level of diarrhoea until the infection has cleared.

 

For daily use it may be more convenient as well to dissolve the magnesium

chloride in water. You may dissolve half of a lightly rounded teaspoon of

the crystals in a medium size glass of water or, more accurately, 2.5g in 150

mL of water. Mix one teaspoon of this solution three times daily with

food or drink for a daily intake of about 600mg of magnesium. This or a more

concentrated solution may also be used as a pack over tumours and infected,

inflamed, painful, stiff or calcified joints, muscles, adhesions or scar

tissue. It is also excellent as a back rub and to relax tense muscles anywhere

and even to rejuvenate aging skin. For sensitive skin use it in a very diluted

form. On wounds it was commonly used in a 4% solution, that is 4g or a level

teaspoon in 100 mL or a small glass of water.

 

For quickest results with insensitive skin use a friction massage: rub hard

enough so that the skin becomes hot and red. After doing this for several days

a rash may develop over the area and the skin becomes very sensitive. When this

happens moisten the skin only lightly with a much diluted magnesium chloride

solution. Repeat the rubbing if necessary after the skin has healed.

 

For muscle relaxation in massage, magnesium chloride may be added to

coconut oil or other quality massage oils.

 

While a high magnesium intake is beneficial for most individuals, those with

low blood pressure usually require more calcium in addition. Normal blood

pressure is about 120/80; the lower it is the higher should be the daily intake

of calcium. While those with high blood pressure benefit from ingesting twice

as much magnesium as calcium, those with low blood pressure may take twice as

much calcium as magnesium, but both minerals in relatively high amounts. Those

with low blood pressure and a tendency towards inflammations should also

greatly reduce their intake of phosphorus. A high level of phosphorus in the

blood tends to cause magnesium and calcium levels to be low.

 

Magnesium supplementation should be avoided with severe kidney problems

(severe renal insufficiency), and also with myasthenia gravis. Be careful with

severe adrenal weakness or with very low blood pressure.

Magnesium Profile

Magnesium

is mainly found inside the cells, it activates many enzymes and is necessary

for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids. It is essential for

the functions of muscles and nerves and for the formation of bones and teeth.

Generally it counteracts and regulates the influence of calcium.

Here we are again. Calcium/magnesium supplements, surprisingly, do not raise

serum calcium. In fact, they lower it. How can that be? It's like 2+2, right?

The problem begins with our scientific education which says that calcium is

calcium no matter whether it is of mineral, animal or vegetable origin. The

biological effects of each, though are different. The effects of mineral

calcium found in the calcium and magnesium supplements lowers your calcium

level. I've had many women tell me their doctor tells them they're low in

calcium- Take a calcium/magnesium supplement. On their next visit to the doctor

they are tested again. Calcium level is lower than before. Patient asks " Why " ?

Doctor replies " I don't know " .

This is just one of many areas where what we call " science " is a collection of

unproven assumptions, cultural and racial bias, a priori arguments, circular

reasoning, rigged experiments, and outright lies told just to make money.

The best source of assimilable calcium is seaweed.

Sources: 'Biological Transmutations' by Louis Kervran, also- How to cook with

seaweed by Aveline Kushi.

Corporations have learned that war makes better business than peace and that

making people sick pays better than making them well.
