Pain-Free With Magnesium Oil

I will admit that I cannot just sit idol when I see someone is in pain. I will offer whatever I can for someone who is not a medical specialist, like an ice pack or warm rice pack. This time I took out a bottle of Transderma magnesium oil. I know that sounds strange, but this stuff is topical, and even if it did nothing else she would get a little mini massage of the area, right? I suggested to her that she could apply some to her knee after her shower that evening.

Empirical research proves that magnesium is essential for normal calcium management.

The Robert Cathey Research Source

Empirical research proves that magnesium is essential for normal calcium management. This indicates that magnesium deficiency may lead to inability both to absorb nutritional calcium; but also a disability in intrinsic calcium management. We believe that the body possesses a new class of enzymes we have termed ‘nucleonases’ for their ability to transfer protons or groups of protons and neutrons to create new elements from simpler ones.

Magnesium & Depression Video

One of the benefits I found after only a week or so of getting more magnesium into my system, by using Magnesium chloride transdermally (in my case, using a footbath containing about 150 grams of magnesium chloride flakes dissolved in about 4 litres of water) was a stabilisation of what others had referred to over the years as my “moodiness”.

Here’s a video about the symptoms caused by magnesium deficiency, that Magnesium Chloride can eradicate.

Treating these symptoms can be very economical, if you make your own magnesium oil using the flakes I sell. You could of course, use a footbath like I did, but that may work out a little more expensive.

Magnesium – The Nutrient That Could Change your Life


Introduction

It is only recently that scientists have definitely established the existence of magnesium deficiency in man. For years medical reports stated that a person could obtain enough magnesium from food to keep his bones and cells healthy. Yet the more researchers learned about this mineral, the more they have come to realize that much ill health is due to existing magnesium deficiencies. Furthermore, they now know that since most people never eat enough of the magnesium-rich foods (nuts, seed foods, and green vegetables), the deficiency may well be universal.

the actions of nerves and muscles are impaired. Convulsions, dizziness, muscular weakness, weak teeth and bones, and nervous irritability have all been cited as features of magnesium deficiency. There are other conditions where magnesium deficiency may also be present yet difficult to detect because the overt symptoms are missing or masked.

The editor and staff of  magazine have long been aware of the importance of magnesium in human nutrition. They have been greatly concerned because the public was serenely confident that it was getting enough of this valuable mineral. Time and time again they have called attention to the fact that this is not so. Now that the essentiality of this mineral and its widespread deficiency are both recognized, the time has come to put before the public the many vital metabolic roles of this one mineral and how to make certain you benefit by them.

If you want to understand the essential metabolic function of magnesium, to learn how a lack of this mineral nutrient affects the vital organs, and, most important of all, to learn how to prevent a deficiency in your own body, read on! The authors have drawn on voluminous research and years of study about this vital mineral to prepare this book for you. Their hope is that after reading it you will understand the relation of magnesium to physical and mental health, be aware of the symptoms of a magnesium deficiency and, first and foremost, be able to ensure an adequate supply of this essential mineral to your own body.

Magnesium and Anxiety

Take some magnesium. Lack of magnesium is a big culprit in anxiety. You can pop some magnesium supplements, but it’s actually absorbed better through the skin (the tops and bottoms of the feet are particularly good places) so if you can find magnesium oil and rub it on your feet every night before bed you might notice a big change in anxiety levels. (I order my magnesium oil from Joan at www.health-and-wisdom.com and have had great experiences. Joan’s also a font of knowledge about minerals.)

Magnesium and Fibromyalgia

Magnesium deficiency is very common in the general US population.  Not only is our daily intake low, but we eat a diet which increases the demand for magnesium.  And unfortunately, urinary magnesium loss can be increased by many factors, both physical and emotional.  Magnesium loss increases in the presence of certain hormones.  Stress can greatly increase magnesium loss. Even loud noises can cause magnesium loss.  One article on the web goes so far as to say that that almost everyone is the United States is at least marginally deficient in magnesium.  So there is an excellent chance that a person with fibromyalgia has a magnesium deficiency.  But since people with fibromyalgia often have high levels of stress, and a disrupted hormonal system, they are more likely to be candidates for magnesium deficiency.  Magnesium utilization is also increased by the presence of estrogen, and this might explain why many women are diagnosed with fibromyalgia after menopause, when estrogen levels would decrease.  Additionally, the sleep disruption which occurs in fibromyalgia might also affect magnesium utilization, as sleep deprivation has been shown to cause lower magnesium levels.

Magnesium and Diabetes

Over the past several years we have seen an increase in obesity in children. Along with this weight issue we have also seen an increase in the number of cases of juvenile, or type 2 diabetes. Studies have tied this insulin related dilemma with a deficiency of the electrolyte magnesium.

Studies show that there is a correlation between a low magnesium level and insulin resistance. Diabetes, or insulin resistance occurs when the cells cannot or will not absorb insulin, a protein produced in the pancreas, in the conversion of glucose into energy.

Depression Treatment: A Cure for Depression using Magnesium?

Forward: Although this depression treatment by magnesium essay was written originally to address the role of magnesium as a depression treatment, the role of magnesium deficiency as cause of vast other morbidity and mortality is also addressed. This essay is my “notes to myself”, and you are welcome to visit and explore what I am finding and to discuss it with me by phone or e-mail. As much as possible, all depression treatment research presented is from primary medical research by others and personal observation. I am just a reporter who was very ill from depression and was interested in seeing why things are going wrong in American medicine. I am not a physician and, obviously, I do not practice medicine or give medical advice. I have researched nutrients as medicine since 1979 on a daily basis, and I have come to think that much is wrong with American medicine, but not American medical science. We need to look into the vast library of medical research to see our paths better, and not wait until organized medicine catches up. From this research, I am forced to believe that much of what is wrong stems from our practice of eating refined grain products and reliance on drugs for health, not nutrition. In centuries prior to the twentieth, bread was the “staff of life” primarily due to its mineral, protein and caloric content. Today, perhaps we need to think of bread and other refined grain products as the “staff of death” due to the absence or near absence of life-sustaining minerals and vitmins. As you read this essay, please ask yourself if it is actually possible that the entire foundation of modern medicine is built upon a foundation of quicksand (low magnesium and high calcium)? You may find some answers

Balancing Magnesium & Calcium

90-95% of the population is deficient in magnesium, including many of those who already supplement it. The use of magnesium today is often incorrect, resulting in frequent failure to improve common conditions and complaints. One reason is this: Calcium needs magnesium in order to assimilate into the body. However, when too much calcium is consumed, it will pull magnesium out of the body parts in order to assimilate. This creates a magnesium deficiency and the person will get worse and feel accordingly.

    MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES

    by Raul Vergini,MD


    Back in 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, MD, was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds, because he had found out that the traditional antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and facilitated the infection instead of preventing it.
