These signals are in the form of body symptoms. A slight
deficiency and you will notice slight depression and lack of
well-being. The body is telling you, Help, I'm in trouble. Then
you start getting headaches, pain in the lower back, stiff,
tight muscles, particularly in the back. The body is telling
you, I'm in worse trouble, help me! Now!
But you
ignore these messages. You haven't learnt to read and decipher
them. You seek professional advice and . . . Well, you know what
they advise.
Time goes
by and now you start getting muscle cramps, then calcium
deposits, muscle twitches and tics, high blood pressure. You
ignore it and don't do anything about these signals.
You start
to get nervous; you jump at sudden sounds. You have never been
this way before. You are told that you are getting old, that you
can expect this sort of thing. You now have trouble sleeping and
continually wake up feeling tired. Your body goes into spasms
(involuntary and abnormal muscular contractions) and jerks. Your
body is calling out, You idiot, I need help now! Get some
magnesium drink and take it night and morning!
Don't Ignore Warning Signals
You ignore these signals. Next, you find yourself with a chest
pain, called angina pectoris. You ignore this also, and no one
else seems to know what is causing it. You never did learn how
to take care of your own body and have always left it to the
so-called experts. These experts don't know either.
The next
thing that happens is suddenly your heart starts racing. It goes
out of rhythm. You donıt know what to do and neither does anyone
else. Then one day you have been out working hard physically, or
under stress, and all of a sudden you have a heart attack. Your
body is telling you, I am in real trouble; I am almost at the
end of the line. I need magnesium urgently and fast. NOW! So
learn from me: The body is crying out for magnesium. It is
deficient in magnesium. It cannot function unless it has
sufficient of this mineral.
I know
this seems too simple.
Test it for Yourself
Prove me wrong. But in the test, use the correct magnesium
productotherwise you wonıt get the required results.
How
important is magnesium? It is so important that your body wonıt
function well with even a slight deficiency, and with a severe
deficiency you could end up with a heart attack. So you tell me.
Is magnesium important enough for you to learn about and
consume?
Key Nutrient
Magnesium is an essential nutrient. It is necessary for every
major biochemical process, such as digestion, protein synthesis,
cellular energy production and glucose metabolism. Magnesium is
also needed for bone strength, muscle strength and heartbeat, as
well as the functioning of the nervous system. Over three
hundred biochemical and bioelectric reactions depend on
magnesium to occur. Without these taking place efficiently, the
body is in trouble and so are you.
If you do not have sufficient
magnesium, the body will not work properly and you will end up
with the symptoms described earlier. By
your drinking a good magnesium drink, these symptoms will
gradually and mysteriously disappear. This will occur even if
you only take a small amount of it.
Deficiency is Common
Contrary to common belief, magnesium deficiency
is very common even among those who supplement it regularly. The
reason for this is that the stress of modern lifestyle depletes
magnesium reserves far more rapidly than was previously
realized.
Activates Other Minerals
All other major minerals are dependent upon magnesium being
present in order to function.
The major
minerals are magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium.
Of these, magnesium is by far the most
important.
Magnesium versus Calcium
The Important Role of
Nutritional Magnesium and
Calcium Balance in Humans Living with Stress

Calcium, a major mineral,
needs magnesium in order to assimilate into the body. Calcium,
however, should never be taken on its own. Otherwise, it will
pull magnesium out of body parts in order to assimilate. This
creates a greater magnesium deficiency and the person will feel
worse. This occurs with people who drink
milk. Milk is about 8 calcium to 1 magnesium and it will create
a magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium
regulates the entrance and utilization of calcium in the cells.
Without magnesium, calcium remains in the
body unused. This will result in calcium deposits in the
joints (often called arthritis), gallstones, kidney stones, and
in extreme cases calcification of the brain and other body
organs and parts. This, in turn, results in loss of memory and
loss of ability to reason and eventually the termination of
life. All of these conditions have frequently been known to
disappear after taking extra magnesium, especially the drink
form.
Again,
magnesium and calcium must be in the correct proportions,
otherwise the calcium becomes a pollutant
in the body causing heart disease, arthritis, hardening
of the arteries, senility, osteoporosis, and calcification of
organs and tissues as described earlier, which could eventually
completely degenerate these organs and tissues. From this you
can deduce that it is contra survival to take calcium without
magnesium. The rule is "Never take calcium without magnesium.
Calcium depends on magnesium for it to assimilate. Magnesium, on
the other hand, doesn't require calcium in order to function. In
fact, in many cases, magnesium taken on its own without any
calcium will help you feel younger, more energetic, stronger,
and give you a multitude of other benefits, all as a result of
the magnesium being present to do its job.
What Depletes It?
Letıs take a look at what depletes magnesium: Modern stresses,
whether chemical, environmental or mental, frequently deplete
magnesium reserves (which are often depleted faster than calcium
reserves). This can cause a magnesium deficiency and the
resultant symptoms of internal stress, even when the person does
take magnesium supplements if he takes more calcium than
magnesium (which is very common). Extra
magnesium can often mean the difference between a stressed body
and a completely relaxed one. Magnesium depletion is a
highly important issue, which will be crucial to understand. The
following are Magnesium Depletors. Learn them well and apply
accordingly. The more dominant they are in your life, the more
magnesium your body will need. These items dramatically speed up
the depletion of your body's magnesium storage, and make it
necessary for much more magnesium to be consumed:
-
Mental stress
-
Physical stress
-
Coffee
-
Sugar
- High
sodium diet
-
Alcohol
-
Cola-type sodas
-
Tobacco
- High
perspiration
-
Medical drugs of all types
- Low
thyroid
-
Chronic pain
-
Diuretics
- A
high carbohydrate diet
- A
high calcium diet
Calcium? Yes. Can too much
calcium be a problem? More than you ever thought possible.
Differently put, excess calcium can become a real problem.
Excess magnesium, on the other hand, is impossible. Excess
calcium combined with low magnesium will create osteoporosis and
fragile bones.
The Proof?
Here is an amazing example: What country has the highest rate of
milk consumption? Thatıs right, it is America. Now another
question: What country has the highest consumption rate of
calcium supplements? Thatıs right, the answer is again America.
So obviously, you would say, America must have the lowest
occurrence of osteoporosis (calcium loss) of all countries,
right? Believe it or not, the truth is the exact opposite! We
have the highest rate! Why? Taking more calcium will not fix a
calcium deficiency, which is quite evident from the statistics.
Yet more magnesium will handle the calcium deficiency as well as
the magnesium deficiency itself.
