Magnesium - Missing Health Miracle Mineral
"Deficiency of magnesium is associated with virtually every known disease: heart
attacks, diabetes, depression, cancer..."
- Dr. C Norman Shealy M.D., PhD - Author of "Holy Water, Sacred Oil, The Fountain of Youth"
"Without magnesium, muscle and nerve functions are compromised and energy
diminished. We are operating with the power turned off. "
- Dr. Jerry Aikawa - The University of Colorado.Author of "Magnesium: Its Biological Significance."
People in N. America tend to
consume too much calcium and sodium, and insufficient
magnesium and potassium .
This is often reflected in urine tests which show calcium and sodium being
excreted while magnesium and potassium are being retained.
All four of these minerals work together
in the body. Problems arise when one or more of
the minerals are deficient or when the minerals are out of balance with
each other.
So what's so special about magnesium? . . . When magnesium is deficient,
which it is for many people, then replenishing the body's stores of this
important and busy mineral has a healing effect on a wide range of diseases as
well as being able to rejuvenate the aging body.
A study published in the journal "Critical Care"
found that a deficiency in magnesium makes you twice as likely to die as other
people - About 70% of Americans are
deficient in this critical mineral!
Magnesium has vital and essential functions in the body
Mg amounts are highest in bones (65%) , teeth, heart and brain
Magnesium ++ is the second-most abundant positively charged ion INSIDE the body's cells
(potassium is #1)
- existing in
the body as positive ions in solution or complexed with other tissues (E.g. bone) -
not as a
silvery-white metal.
Mg is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids, for
the functions of muscles and nerves, for the formation of bones and teeth
- ensuring a sufficiency of magnesium
in your
body:
• Normalizes muscle function
• Improves INSULIN
sensitivity
• Helps correct abnormal lipoprotein patterns
• Reduces blood
pressure
• And so much more . . . see mg

Magnesium
deficiency is linked to many health problems -
since
magnesium has a pivotal role in energy
production and many cellular metabolic processes. Consequently, inadequate
magnesium intake can cause muscle spasms, and is linked to CVD, diabetes, high blood
pressure, anxiety disorders, migraines, osteoporosis, ischemic strokes and other
degenerative health problems of our time.
Most of us need to supplement or boost our magnesium intake
In the USA, magnesium supplementation is dramatically under-utilized by
conventional physicians.
