 For my wife, I actually designed a formula called Myo-Mag, which is mainly magnesium malate, but it has the coenzyme B vitamins, and if you look at the Kreb's cycle, she had a functional magnesium deficiency. She was not using magnesium -- even though she had plenty in her blood. Well, magnesium malate has this beautiful property; the malic acid actually kicks the Kreb's cycle into gear. Once you have the Kreb's cycle kicked into gear, then you need the magnesium to make the ATP or to use the ATP. magnesium malate is wonderful. |

Disease, and Preventive Care any people find it tempting to oversimplify disease. Dr. Hulda Clark, for example, wrote the following in the beginning of her book, The Cure for All Diseases:
"No matter how long and confusing is the list of symptoms a person has, from chronic fatigue to infertility to mental problems, I am sure to find only two things wrong: they have in them pollutants and/or parasites. |
| I seriously recommend the purchase of brazil nuts and toasted sesame seeds (very high in magnesium and calcium) and in general use organic whole grain foods, all of which you will find at this site.
For everyone who has not heard of nutritional yeast I highly recommend it as a source of B vitamins and many other wonderful nutritional things. It is up there with spirulina in my eyes. It is exceptionally good tasting and can be used in or on almost everything. |
| Chelorex is an excellent source of magnesium, selenium and zinc, plus ascorbic acid, vitamin E and a whole list of natural agents and amino acids that facilitate detoxification of the body.
We are all exposed to toxic metals from a polluted environment everyday, from the air we breathe, the water we drink and other possible sources depending on where we live or work. For more information please visit: www. imva. info/mercury, shtml scienceformulas.com/

| I use magnesium chloride as a mouthwash for my gum problems and felt a change in my oral environment after only one application. I had periodontal disease when I was seventeen and severe bone loss through many years. My mouth was also loaded up with mercury amalgam starting at age five. It is very difficult to keep up the discipline of maintaing my mouth perfectly. A fine dentist told me six years ago that I had to brush and floss after every meal and never eat between meals to preserve my teeth.
I have had a hard time following those directions and the results are as expected. |

 If I have someone with migraines, is it better to give them an expensive drug, like Sumtriptan, which has significant side effects, or is it better to say, "Your diet is deficient in magnesium -- consume foods richer in magnesium." Now, only 1 out of 6 patients with migraines need magnesium. But for that 1 out of 6, increased magnesium in the diet is almost miraculous in what it does for them, because not only does it relieve the migraines, but everything else impacted by inadequate magnesium will improve as well.

 Magnesium magnesium aids in bone growth, and the absorption of calcium and vitamins C, E, and B complex. It promotes healthy nerves and muscles. magnesium deficiencies may result in skin problems, seizures, slow weight gain, and muscle weakness. Natural sources of magnesium are wheat germ, molasses, cod, carp, halibut, shrimp, green vegetables, and nuts.
Manganese Manganese aids in cell function, and promotes cartilage and bone growth. Manganese deficiencies may result in poor growth, and problems with the joints and discs. |

 These shifts in magnesium levels can upset an optimal calcium-magnesium ratio. When the two minerals are in proper balance, the body better absorbs and assimilates the calcium it needs and also allows calcium to migrate from tissue and organs where it doesn't belong.
Without magnesium, calcium might not be fully utilized. Underabsorption of calcium can lead to menstrual cramps. As with a vitamin E deficiency, when the body does not have enough magnesium to support calcium absorption, many women report PMS symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, headaches, and sleeplessness. |

| We also allow silica, which is little glass beads, and if you could break it apart it would be good for you, and magnesium trisilicate, which gives you some magnesium but it gives you silica again if you can get it. These excipients will absorb moisture to make it work better. Those are my three main ones. magnesium stearate I use only when I have to, and in tablets, because it enables release from tabletting machines. If you use it in tiny amounts you are okay. If you use it in large amounts it is not. We avoid it whenever possible. |

 Then you mix it with a calcium source or magnesium source and you make calcium ascorbate or magnesium ascorbate, and we are always blending the two. Usually, I do not want to use just calcium, which many people do. We will have calcium ascorbate and magnesium ascorbate in virtually all our formulas containing vitamin C, and perhaps some zinc ascorbate or potassium ascorbate.
You want it to be buffered so you are not acidifying the body, especially if you take huge amounts of it. There are those people who do metabolic typing. Sometimes, they want to acidify the body and they use ascorbic acid. |

/ YOU SHOULD TAKE A CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENT THAT CONTAINS A RATIO OF TWO PARTS CALCIUM (1,500 MG) TO ONE PART magnesium (750 MG).
7-Keto Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is one of the hormones produced by the adrenal glands. After being secreted by the adrenal glands, DHEA circulates in the bloodstream as DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) and is converted, as needed, into other hormones. Since it is a precursor to testosterone, DHEA may help to build muscle. |

 Magnesium is poorly absorbed and competes with the same receptors in the intestines that absorb calcium. When magnesium and calcium are combined in a supplement, you'll actually get less of each. Work your way up to as high a magnesium dose as you can tolerate without having loose bowels (but no more than 1,000 mg a day). After all, the laxative isn't named Milk of Magnesia for nothing! |
| Most hospital patients admitted for heart disease have low magnesium levels. magnesium is given to all open-heart surgery patients to prevent irregular heartbeats and potentially fatal arrhythmias as well as to keep their blood pressure down. I start all my hypertensive Club members on regular magnesium tablets, working them up to 500 to 1,000 mg per day. For dosages of the other compounds, refer to www.drgundry.com. |

 Apparently, magnesium increases insulin sensitivity and may increase the secretion of insulin from the pancreas, which suggests that it may also be helpful after diabetes has been diagnosed.
This does not mean, however, that you need a magnesium supplement. Foods rich in magnesium include whole grains (grains with their natural fiber intact) such as brown rice, barley, and oats, as well as green vegetables such as spinach and Swiss chard. Many bean varieties are also rich in magnesium. In the Harvard study, a "high" intake was about 400 milligrams per day. |

 Its label listed at least seven different alcohol ethoxylates: sodium laureth sulfate, PEG-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmi-tate, PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate, PEG-7 glyceryl stearate, sodium laureth-8 sulfate, magnesium laureth-8 sulfate, and magnesium laureth sulfate. In addition, the product contained paraben preservatives, which have been shown in test tube and animal studies to be estrogenic also. |
