Magnesium Deficiency – A Legacy of our Toxic World

By Patricia Stokes.

During many years of clinical practice doing Bowen Therapy, I have became increasingly aware of the number of clients presenting with all the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. One of the most common symptoms of low magnesium levels is leg cramps and restless leg syndrome. When doing an initial assessment of a client , the first questions I ask is “do you suffer from cramps?” If the answer is “Yes”, then I know without doubt this person has low magnesium levels. Simple. Usually as we question further, we find further symptoms to verify this conclusion.

Magnesium is responsible for several hundred different functions in the body.  A significant number of the symptoms of many chronic diseases are identical to the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Some of these are listed below;

• Insomnia
  
• Sleep-disorders
  
• Chronic Fatigue/Fybromyalgia
  
• Body-tension
  
• Headaches
  
• Heart-disorders
  
• Low energy
  
• High Blood Pressure
  
• PMS
  
• Muscle tension
  
• Backaches
  
• Constipation
  
• Kidney stones
  
• Osteoporosis
  
• Accelerated aging
  
• Depression
  
• Irregular-heartbeat
  
• Anxiety
  
• Muscle cramps
  

 

Since 99 percent of magnesium resides inside living cells, blood serum levels are not a good indicator of magnesium deficiency. Blood tests for magnesium are notoriously inaccurate. Only 1 percent of the total body magnesium pool exists outside of living cells. In other words, your doctor can’t easily tell you by a blood test if your magnesium levels are low.

Why Is Magnesium Important?

So what is so important about magnesium? It is the most prolific trace mineral in the body. It works hand in hand with calcium, which is why it is so dangerous to take calcium supplements without magnesium. Calcium is the “hardening or constricting ” mineral while magnesium is the “relaxing” mineral. Magnesium relaxes the muscles and feeds the nerves.

Supplementing needs to be done correctly and sadly many practitioners including Doctors are prescribing big doses of calcium and ignoring the importance of its partner in health, magnesium. Thus the dominance of calcium over magnesium produces symptoms of muscle spasm. Migraines, eyelid twitch, heart flutters, back aches, premenstrual tension, leg cramps and constipation are all linked to calcium overload. Excessive calcium may also result in kidney stones and heart valve calcifications (mitral valve.)

Why are we seeing an epidemic of people with all the symptoms of magnesium deficiency?

I believe its a result of a 2 pronged attack on our health and well being, Deficiency and Toxicity.

The number one factor is the unprecedented levels of heavy metals and toxins in the environment which inevitably winds up in our bodies. Most people will have measurable levels of heavy metals. I find heavy metals, like mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper in the urine excretion tests of almost all I test. These have no safe levels and the body will try to find a way to minimise the harm heavy metals cause to the tissue and organs.

The first line of defence the body takes is to bind a magnesium molecule to a heavy metal molecule to negate the damaging oxidative effect of heavy metal. The body will then excrete the metal along with the magnesium. So people with high levels of heavy metals excrete high levels of magnesium. This leaves in its wake a magnesium deficient body. We don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand this!!

Since the turn of last century, our depleted soils, processed foods and fast food diet lifestyles have led to a steady increase in mineral deficiencies. Nowhere is this more true than in Magnesium.

Remove the Toxins.

Without doing this we are only supplementing a poisoned body. Remove the heavy metals and toxins and we are then supplementing a body that is better able to absorb and utilise the nutrients it receives through either diet or supplementation. In fact I have seen by removing the heavy metals a lot of deficiency, including magnesium, will correct without extra supplementation.

Until recently, there wasn’t a completely safe, easy and efficient way to remove heavy metals from the body. Some chelating agent were not entirely safe and ended up removing good minerals along with the bad guys, others were safe but very slow, others required many sessions hooked up to an IV infusion of the chelating agent, others were very expensive.

One of the most exciting and important supplements to come onto the market in recent times is Activated Liquid Zeolite. This naturally occurring mineral, sold as a food supplement is safe, [has been granted GRAS staus by the FDA, which means it has no known side effects], it is extremely easy to use, tasteless drops in water, and for a few dollars a day we can use it to remove the heavy metals and toxins from the body. It’s safe for everyone from the new born to the elderly.

So if anything resonated with you as you have read this article, your tired of being tired and no matter how much you spend on the best supplements and therapies you still don’t feel great, you may well like to try Activated Liquid Zeolite. Often doing a simple heavy metal excretion test will reveal the presence of heavy metals and these are available in kits to test yourself at home.

Are Pain Killers Killing You?

By Barbara Lockwood

I have just read a report that 1 in 5 patients who died after having back surgery died because of complications linked to pain killers that were used to relieve their lower back pain.

Having been in that camp myself many years ago I am very glad that my body told me to STOP taking them. I became so sick that I could not take them. Thank goodness my warning system worked.

My History Of Pain

I had a back injury when I was 37 and had been told that I would be in a wheel chair by the time I was 45 because there was nothing that could be done for me.

After 3 years of pain killers and anti inflammatory I was ready to do anything to relieve the constant pain and went to see an orthopedic surgeon. When he told me there was nothing that could be done to help me I started looking for alternatives.

The fact that my blood pressure went up; that I had gastrointestinal problems and suffered a heart attack at age 46 can now be laid at the foot of the pain killers and anti inflammatory pills I was popping.

It is now in black and white in studies conducted and published in the April issue of Spine.

So where do you go when you have unbearable pain?

The answer is to offer alternative treatments first without depleting the patient’s system with drugs.

Once I threw away my poisons and embraced alternative body work, starting with chiropractic, massage and finally Bowen Therapy when it became available I was able to almost completely eliminate painkillers. Later when glyconutrients became available the pain killer became entirely obsolete and I am glad to say that I do not have any drugs in my house or in my system.

None at all and I am now 64 and alive, mobile and healthy and not in a wheel chair.

Liver damage and acute liver failure is linked to acetaminophen poisoning, a main ingredient in over the counter pain killers so are you still happy to pop that Panadol?

There is more than the question of killing yourself with toxic pain killers at stake here.

Our children are growing up with drugs being made a joking matter on TV shows and parents setting the bad example of popping pills and alcohol and cigarettes.

This is a dilemma. With the depletion of the nutrients in food, the poisoning of the water supply and the ingestion of toxic invisible chemicals we need to add supplements to our die.

A judgmental teenager can be very “in your face” when you try to give him/her a food supplement on the one hand and tell him not to take drugs on the other. They can argue a pill is a pill and can make one feel pretty helpless when confronted. Teenagers grow up thank goodness.

I don’t have an answer to that and would like some feed back.

Pain Relief Without Drugs

What I do have an answer to is “Pain Relief without Drugs.”

There are many pain remedies in nature and if necessary they can be used under supervision of a holistic practitioner.

However the “one pain – one pain killer” (albeit natural) is still not the desirable situation.

It goes back to the “one disease – one cure”

The aim in my opinion is to assist the body to live without pain by eliminating the CAUSE of pain.

That is a process that is possible and one of the easiest ways to achieve it is to DETOX the body of heavy metals and chemical toxins. A body free from these health robbers will be able to function and I have personal experience of this. A good range of nutritional supplements may also be needed but the body will and can heal and support itself if given the right combination of food water and rest and exercise. That should be our goal.

It is a fact that TOXIC waste blocks vital functions and absorption of nutrients, which leads to an unhealthy acid condition in your body which leads to cellular dysfunction which leads to pain!

Pain is a warning that there is a problem in your body.

It’s like the red light on your car dashboard.

Don’t lift the bonnet and cut the wire to the red light. Don’t fill your body with pain killers but do the intelligent thing and remove the cause, which may be heavy metal overload or chemical poisoning. The easiest Detox you will ever experience is with the Activated Liquid Zeolite colloidal suspension now on the market.

Finally, Relief From Chronic Fatigue, Fybromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome , Insomnia and Poor Thyroid Function

By Patricia Stokes

For more than 20 years I had suffered Chronic Fatigue , Fybromyalgia ,Irritable Bowel Syndrome , Insomnia and a myriad of other symptoms including poor thyroid function..

I had spent 1000′s of dollars seeking help from Doctors and health care professionals , using the best supplements and therapies available .Some helped for a while.

18 months ago I became aware of Activated Liquid Zeolite and when researching it, I was really impressed by the science behind the product. It has a “quantifiable mechanism of action” or in other words, scientists can explain exactly how it works in removing the heavy metals and toxins from the body.

Before starting on the product I did a Heavy Metal Urine Test which showed I was excreting cadmium.This was a complete surprise for me as no one had ever suggested Heavy Metal toxicity might be the root cause of my ill health. I suspect many years of heavy, constant exposure to cigarette smoke in the work place 25 years ago was the cause of this.

After 4 months of taking this amazing Activated Liquid Zeolite my health and energy levels were better that I had known in 25 years . The Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia are gone. I now sleep all night and haven’t had any irritable bowel attacks since I began using this product.

The results I now see in others using this product has convinced me that the unprecedented levels of chronic disease we are seeing, is a down stream effect of heavy metals and toxins in our bodies. In some instances removing these toxins may be life saving.

Shingles, ADD and Liver Abscesses Gone!

 

Due to several health challenges and finding every “drug” I was prescribed did me more harm than good, I decided years ago to find alternate natural ways of keeping healthy.

Some of these were Bowen Therapy, acupuncture and Glyconutrients. I found all very beneficial but even after looking after my health for years, I was diagnosed with amoebic abscesses on my liver. After 10 years of medical treatment, which included a very debilitating antibiotic and aspiration of the abscesses, the abscesses still persisted and made me very ill. During this time I developed shingles.

Recently, I was introduced to an incredible product, “Activated Liquid Zeolite” (the main function is to remove heavy metals at a cellular level). In January this year, I had another CAT scan to check on my abscesses and for the first time in 10 years my all my abscesses had disappeared. Miracle?

No miracle, my conclusion was that once I had removed all the heavy metals from my cells, my immune system could function and my body had the chance to heal itself. Knowing my liver was healthy again was euphoric! I was assured by my doctor I would have a recurrence of shingles but after 14 months I am still shingle free.

My 9-year-old grandson was “diagnosed” with ADD and it was recommended by his doctor to medicate him with Ritalin. His mother and father decided to give him Activated Liquid Zeolite instead and after only 3-4 weeks he is a different child. His school work has improved he loves going to school now, he actually likes doing homework, which is a bit strange for a 9 year old and he tells me he doesn’t feel, in his words, “All funny in the head any more”! He has his Zeolite by his bedside and never forgets to take it.
