Could Magnesium Slow the Ageing Process?

In his book ”Holy Water, Sacred Oil”, Dr. Norman Shealy documents about 90 health matters that are immediately related to magnesium deficiency. In addition, Dr. Shealy draws a strong correlation between magnesium levels and DHEA levels. He has also determined that when the body is presented with adequate levels of magnesium at the cellular level, the body will begin to naturally produce DHEA.

Since DHEA comprises the basic bio-marker for aging, the long term use of large doses of magnesium in an available form will significantly bring up DHEA levels and thus produce true Age Reversal results. Dr. Shealy refers to DHEA as the Master Hormone. Adequate levels of DHEA cause the production of all of the other hormones. The depletion of hormones is connected with a lot of symptoms of aging. Stimulating a return to healthy and well-balanced levels of these hormones can give rise to a recovering of youthful energy. Indeed, through the application of magnesium oil, middle-aged women have described complete reprieve from menopausal symptoms and some have even returned to their menstrual cycle.

Dr. Shealy has stated that once anyone starts regular use of Magnesium Oil, the aging process has arrested and true age reversal has begun. As we have stopped aging, time is no longer working against us. This institutes an unbelievable peace of mind and body.

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.
