Aggressive Behavior

Magnesium deprivation induced interspecific aggressive behaviour in rats

undoubtedly attributable to magnesium deficiency since magnesium
chloride, by correcting magnesium deficiency, suppressed it.(Bac, P., et al.)

Angina

Angina (chest pains) is caused by a spasm in coronary arteries (the arteries

that supply blood to the heart). This spasm is caused by magnesium
deficiency and water-soluble magnesium is highly beneficial for this
condition.

Anxiety

Sherry Rogers, M.D., in International Medicine World Report in 1992,

estimated that 80 percent of the population is deficient in magnesium.
Rogers went on to say that magnesium deficiency is prevalent in psychiatric
disorders such as anxiety, agitation and panic attacks.

Asthma

Asthma is a condition where the bronchial passages go into spasm and

interfere with normal breathing. Magnesium comes to the rescue by relaxing
the bronchial muscles. Studies have shown that intravenous magnesium
administered to asthmatics resulted in rapid improvement in shortness of
breath and wheezing. Often it stopped an attack cold. Magnesium seems to
make a major difference for asthmatics. The drinkable form is the next best
thing and will assimilate very quickly, especially if drunk hot. Magnesium's
ability to stop asthma attacks proves its vital role as an essential nutrient for
asthmatics.

Backaches, Back Pain

Magnesium can relieve back pain in several different ways. (1) Magnesium
helps kidney function. Kidney stress is one of the causes of back pain. (2)
Magnesium helps relax the muscles. Muscle tension is another reason for

back problems. Magnesium also helps the assimilation of calcium, which

could allow bones to heal themselves.

Bone Alignment, Bones going out of Alignment

When magnesium is too low, this will cause the nervous system to be out of
balance. This, in turn, will keep muscles tight and prevent them from staying
in a relaxed condition. Magnesium restores balance to the nerves as well as
the muscles, and thus makes it possible for chiropractic adjustments to last
longer and be more effective.

Constipation

Magnesium is very helpful in providing relief from constipation. High

amounts of magnesium have always been found to bring relief. In fact, the
only time when water-soluble magnesium didn't relieve this condition was
when not enough of it was taken. Constipation, of course, beyond its
emergency address, should eventually be traced back to its underlying
causes and handled accordingly. Yet magnesium is the one quick solution
that never fails to work when immediate relief is needed.

Depression & Adrenal Function

Cortisol is one of the main hormones produced by the adrenal glands.

Cortisol plays a key role in the regulation of blood sugar levels. Stressful
conditions, however, cause the adrenals to overproduce cortisol, and when
the adrenals are pushed into a relentless production of cortisol, they end up
in a stressed condition. Once the adrenals become overworked and
stressed, the body's ability to retain magnesium drops down, as reflected in
a greater loss of magnesium through urinary excretion. For this reason,
people with exhausted adrenals will often require more magnesium to
maintain inner balance. Magnesium is also needed by the adrenals as a
basic building block for the manufacturing of hormones.

Since stressed adrenals are often a forerunner of depression and mood

disorders, anything which supports adrenal function will help these
conditions. Because magnesium supports adrenal function, it can and was
indeed found to have an antidepressant effect. While further steps may be

required to fully alleviate depressive states, magnesium's role in balancing

the body is vital and it has been proven to greatly enhance the effect of
other nutrients consumed and/or other steps undertaken.

Without sufficient magnesium one cannot keep the adrenals in balance, and
a loss of this balance can result in diabetes, hyper-excitability, nervousness,
mental confusion and difficulty coping with simple day-to-day problems.
Depressed and suicidal people often display inadequate levels of
magnesium.

Diabetes

Insulin is the hormone which helps with the regulation of glucose (sugar)
metabolism. Magnesium has been found to improve insulin's response to
dietary sugar, and improve the action of insulin in regulating blood sugar
levels. Magnesium deficiency seems to be extremely common amongst
diabetics, which makes it very important for them to supplement. One of the
reasons for this condition is the great amounts of magnesium lost through
urine by diabetics. Studies have shown that people with heightened
magnesium levels were better able to metabolize glucose. While
magnesium will not by itself entirely normalize a major disorder such as
diabetes, it is still a vital nutrient for the diabetic. Lack of magnesium can
make diabetes worse, and produce a host of other unnecessary symptoms.

Fatigue

When we say energy, we usually mean the total energy produced by the
body. Each cell in the body is engaged in its own energy production process,
and the total energy produced by all our cells adds up to our total body
energy. Magnesium plays a key role in the energy process within each
individual cell. When not enough magnesium is available, energy production
is inhibited, and the eventual outcome is fatigue and weakness. Magnesium
is vital for the maintenance of adequate energy levels. Magnesium also
helps in the storage of energy used by the cells. Without it you will again
feel tired. This is one of the causes of fatigue and chronic fatigue, and these
will often clear up on taking the magnesium drink.

Magnesium (in the right amount and form) can provide vital help for cases
of chronic fatigue, as its presence in the body will make it possible for some

basic processes to properly occur, which will, in turn, enable the body to
remedy other nutritional imbalances. One of these key processes is the
regulation of potassium. When magnesium is lacking, potassium will be
rapidly lost from the body, causing fatigue, heat exhaustion and weakness.

Without adequate magnesium available, the cells will be unable to breathe

properly and maintain the cycle of life, and, as a result, they will start
weakening and decaying, embarking upon a cycle of cellular death.

Moreover, considering the role played by the adrenal glands in the

maintenance of proper energy levels, along with the importance of
magnesium in supporting the adrenal glands, we can see at once that
magnesium affects and regulates energy levels in more ways than one.
Always ensure sufficient magnesium intake occurs when attempting to
repair energy disorders.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is common mostly amongst women. It is characterized by

fatigue and muscle pain throughout the body. It is sometimes accompanied
by sleep disturbances, headaches and other symptoms. Magnesium is the
most important mineral needed by people with fibromyalgia, and coupled
with malic acid, it greatly helps in relieving this condition. While most malic
acid products come with magnesium, a magnesium drink will often also be
necessary for superior and more stable results.

Heart Attacks

Magnesium deficiency appears to be causing 215,000 fatal heart attacks in

the U.S. each year, and as many as 20,000,000 fatal heart attacks
worldwide. Indeed, the cost of magnesium ignorance is frequently fatal, and
yet such ravaging results can be prevented.

The heart is a muscle. It follows the same rules as any other muscle, except
the results are more dramatic and life extinguishing. Calcium and
magnesium control the heartbeat. Calcium tenses the heart muscle;
magnesium relaxes the heart muscle. The heart's pumping motion is the
alternating of this tensing and relaxing action. With a correct balance of

calcium and magnesium, the heart beats in a consistent manner. With a

deficiency of magnesium the heartbeat becomes inconsistent. It beats too
fast or too slow or it races. This is a sign of magnesium deficiency. Handle
the deficiency and the heartbeat returns to normal. Nothing else needs to be
done. Just take magnesium. You don t have to know any more than that.
Racing heart, take magnesium. Heartbeat not normal, take magnesium.

Now we get to the serious part. A muscle can go into a spasm. It can go stiff
and cramp. The heart muscle can do the same. When it does, the spasm or
cramp will cause the heart to stop beating for a second, called a mild heart
attack, or to tense up and lock causing the heart to stop beating completely,
resulting in death. Then we say the person died of natural causes; he had a
heart attack. No, he died of unnatural causes: ignorance and stupidity. He
died of a magnesium deficiency.

Any sign of heart trouble? Take magnesium.

There is always a long record of magnesium deficiency symptoms occurring

before a heart attack. To stress it again, without sufficient magnesium you
will die, because your heart will stop beating, and it will be called a heart
attack. In America, heart attack is the number one killer (cause of death),
before strokes and even cancer. When a person dies from a heart attack,
never do they say, He died from a magnesium deficiency. The early signs of
such terminal extinction are racing heartbeats, or any unusual change in
heartbeats, angina pains and collapsing from exhaustion after heavy
physical work or exercise, such as running a race or playing football or
basketball. Due to lack of magnesium, the heart muscle develops a spasm
or cramp and stops beating. This is because there is insufficient magnesium
to relax the heart for the next contraction.

Hiccups

Hiccups are the result of muscle spasms of the diaphragm and will
disappear on taking magnesium.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (hypertension) this is the leading cause of stroke and a
major cause of heart attack. Consistently high blood pressure pushes the
heart to work way past its capacity. Besides the seriously elevated risk for
heart attack and stroke, high blood pressure can also damage the brain,
eyes and kidneys. Many people with this condition are not aware that they
have it. Magnesium is needed by anyone with high blood pressure. Half of
all people with magnesium deficiency suffer from high blood pressure. This
explains why magnesium has proved to be so vital for this condition. Some
people will need extra nutritional support, but magnesium certainly remains
a key nutrient for people with high blood pressure and it will help to avoid
further complications.

Hyperactivity and ADD

This condition is mostly caused by sugars and food additives. These stress
the nervous system and cause it to be hyper-excitable. This also affects
attention span. Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder can be
dramatically corrected by eliminating refined sugar products (sodas, candy,
etc) and food additives. Since sugars and food additives can potentially
deplete magnesium from the body, magnesium deficiency was found to help
a percentage of those suffering from these conditions. Magnesium can relax
the nervous system, and reduce the hyper-excitability condition. Studies
show that kids with magnesium deficiency benefited greatly with their ADD
and hyperactivity.

Insomnia

This is one of the most common conditions today. Magnesium deficiency can
cause insomnia (inability to sleep), or make you wake up with muscle
spasms or cramps or feeling tense and uncomfortable. Natural Calm
(magnesium powder) can go a long way in relieving this restlessness, and
make many of the common sleep problems simply disappear. There are
countless records on file attesting to the effectiveness of Natural Calm
(magnesium powder) in relieving and resolving sleep disorders.

Irregular Heartbeat

Magnesium deficiency is the main cause of irregular heartbeat. If the heart

beats more than 100 beats per minute (too fast) or less than 60 beats per

minute (too slow), this is considered an irregular heartbeat. Water-soluble

magnesium has been found to act quickly in normalizing and stopping
irregular heartbeat. A daily intake of magnesium will act as a preventative.

Kidney Stones

Most common types of kidney stones are made of calcium and respond well
to magnesium especially the water-soluble form. This form of magnesium
will help to dissolve the deposits, and combined with B6 will help prevent
the formation of new stones in the body.

Leg Cramps

Leg cramps are often caused by magnesium deficiency and thus supplying
the magnesium will help.

Migraines

Migraine headaches afflict millions of Americans. Women especially are

prone to this condition. These headaches most often occur during the
menstrual period, but can also happen at other times. Here again,
magnesium comes to the rescue. Magnesium supplementation is key, as low
magnesium levels do cause migraines or make them worse. Taking the
magnesium drink can bring extended relief in many cases, although it
seems that it may work even better for prevention. Consequently,
maintaining proper magnesium levels on a regular basis is essential in
preventing or reducing the frequency and severity of migraine headaches.
This, of course, is not limited only to menstrual migraines.

Migraine and Cluster Headaches

Magnesium supplementation was found to reduce the frequency, intensity

and length of migraines or headaches in many studies. In some of them, the
relief was complete. One reason for its effect is by controlling excess
calcium levels, which are a source of chronic headaches for some
individuals.

Muscle Function & Disorders

Muscles also need both calcium and magnesium to function. Calcium tenses
the muscles; magnesium relaxes the muscles. Close your fist and clench it
tight: that is calcium which permits the tensing of the muscle. Now open and
relax your fist: that is magnesium which permits the relaxing of the muscle.
All muscle action is that of tensing and relaxing and of gradients in between
each extreme.

Therefore, tense, tight muscles tell you what? That's right, there is a
magnesium deficiency. There is not enough magnesium in the system to
cause the tense muscles to relax. Supply the needed magnesium and the
muscle will function as it should. It will stay relaxed until it needs to function
again.

Muscle spasms, muscle cramps, muscle jerks, muscle tics, eye tics and
hiccups are all caused by a magnesium deficiency. Take sufficient watersoluble magnesium and they will disappear. It is not calcium that handles
these difficulties, it is magnesium. Calcium is causing the difficulties.

Have you ever known anyone with tense back muscles? Probably their back
was continually aching and in pain, because the tense muscles will pull the
bones out of place. Handle the magnesium deficiency and the muscles will
relax, the bones will go back into place and the pain will disappear.

Nervousness & Nervous System Disorders

Magnesium is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Without sufficient magnesium the nerve cells cannot give or receive
messages and become excitable and highly reactive. This causes the person
to become extremely sensitive and nervous. Lights can appear to be too
bright. Noises will seem excessively loud and the person will jump at sudden
sounds like a door slamming and will generally be on edge. Even slight
noises can seem loud. Do you know someone who can't stand noise? Get
them a glass of the magnesium drink and see the difference.

Nervousness is often caused only by a deficiency of magnesium. Handle the

deficiency and in many cases the nervousness will disappear.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition marked by severely reduced density of the

bones. It affects mostly women. The bones become fragile and break down
more easily than they develop. Osteoporosis is not a problem of getting
insufficient calcium but of losing the calcium you have. Unquestionably,
magnesium is far more important than calcium in preventing osteoporosis. It
is magnesium which prevents calcium from being excreted, and helps its
utilization by the body. Calcium would be entirely useless without sufficient
magnesium. The colossal consumption of dietary and supplemental calcium
has not reduced the rising incidence of osteoporosis in this country,
regardless of the huge calcium campaign. A recent survey revealed that
milk drinkers were found to have more bone fragility and not as otherwise
promoted. Maintaining normal hormonal levels (such as with a natural
progesterone cream) and the avoidance of sugars, soft drinks, caffeine and
smoking are also vital in preventing osteoporosis. Magnesium helps prevent
bone loss, and preserve the existing calcium. It is essential for high bone
density and the prevention of osteoporosis.

Physical Exhaustion

The person who collapses from physical exhaustion after a day of hard,
continuous physical work has a magnesium deficiency. Of course, he or she
may have other deficiencies as well.

What about the person who collapses at the end of a race: he crosses the
finish line and falls down? Well, what caused that to occur? Right, it was a
magnesium deficiency. Do you see how simple it is?

Does it work? Try it for yourself. Why not handle the magnesium deficiency
before it happens and keep the heart beating? It's not complicated. It's
simple.

PMS

PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is largely a magnesium deficiency. Instant

relief can be obtained by taking the magnesium drink. Too much calcium
and not enough magnesium cause PMS. These result in premature aging
brought about by the calcification of the female body parts. Taking
magnesium in a water-soluble form will totally reverse this condition. The
magnesium in water will gradually dissolve the solidified calcium and help to
assimilate it or to expel it from the body if the calcium is not needed.
Vitamin B6 (the active form) is also recommended for PMS.

Pregnancy-related Symptoms

Contractions occurring too early in pregnancy, weeks or months before the

due date, are caused by a magnesium deficiency and the presence of too
much calcium. Taking the water-soluble magnesium will relax the muscles
and stop the contractions, and the pregnancy will continue as normal until
the due date. If the mother is deficient in magnesium, the baby will be
deficient as well. This can be dangerous for the baby, and even fatal. A
magnesium deficiency in infants can cause crib deaths or SIDS (sudden
infant death syndrome). The heart stops beating. Why? The answer is too
much calcium, not enough magnesium. So make sure both mother and baby
are on water-soluble magnesium.

Premature Aging

By reversing calcification of body organs, magnesium is capable of slowing

down aging, thereby making you feel younger. Magnesium will not only
correct PMS and prevent accelerated aging, it could also energize you and
make you lose weight; both are natural signs of younger age. When
magnesium is lacking, the entire body can become calcified. This is aging. It
all starts with the individual cell. First the cell ages; this leads to organ
aging, and this, in turn, leads to aging of the entire body.

The calcification process starts slowly and innocently, and gradually builds
up over the decades. Practically no soft tissue in your body is immune to
calcification, including your various glands. This process can begin in
childhood, and sadly, in many cases, children start to display too high
cellular calcium levels. For a lot of people, a high calcium diet combined
with low magnesium amounts to "cellular suicide."

So, make sure you take enough magnesium to maintain proper levels in the
body and avoid any potential imbalance or danger from calcium dominance.

Seizures

Giving injections of magnesium sulfate to expectant mothers who have

preeclampsia can halve their risk of seizures and save their lives.

Magnesium deficiency in mice causes and increases audiogenic seizures.

This effect was reversed by oral administration of magnesium
acetyltaurinate (ATaMg), magnesium pyrrolidone-2-carboxylate (PCMH),
MgCl2. The results suggest that audiogenic seizures in magnesium-deficient
mice form a model of magnesium depletion.(Dr. Jean Durlach)

Hypomagnesemia (hypoMg) produce CNS and PNS irritability with seizures

and tetany, respectively, being the major clinical manifestations.

Senility

Senility calcification of the brain tissues will cause senility. Alzheimer's

disease is also a symptom of brain calcification. Water-soluble magnesium
will be an essential supplement in both cases.

Sleep

Natural Calm (magnesium powder) is a true breakthrough in the field of

sleep and relaxation. It greatly exceeds the common traditional supplements
such as melatonin, calcium etc. It produces, in fact, results, which are more
consistent than any sleep supplement we have seen around. The secret of
Natural Calm (magnesium powder) is in its successful resolution of the
MOST (and unanticipated) mineral deficiency related to sleep disorders Magnesium.

The most surprising fact of all was that most of those consuming
magnesium supplements were STILL found magnesium deficient, which fully
explained their ever-persisting sleep difficulties. The use of usual sleep
supplements did NOT seem to handle the deficiency in magnesium. To add
to the mystery, one can use magnesium supplements for years and STILL be
deficient in magnesium, and STILL experience sleep difficulties (amongst
many other symptoms), wondering why nothing else seems to work!

Too much dietary calcium will create a magnesium deficiency which is one of
the reasons.

Environmental stresses which deplete magnesium reserves & increase the

need for dietary magnesium are another reason.

Stress

Magnesium and stress are closely linked. Stress depletes magnesium;

magnesium counteracts stress. When magnesium levels are low, the
nervous system gets out of balance and the muscles grow tight. This can
also lead to elevated mental stress. At the same time, any stress, whether
mental or physical, will deplete magnesium. Magnesium gained its name as
nature's anti-stress mineral due to its helpfulness in combating internal
stress and in the restoration of inner balance.

As expected, stress conditions involve extra nutrients and support, and

require as well a good-quality protein, the avoidance of sugar, and of course
focusing on diversionary activities, and should include addressing any
mental factors that may be underlying the stress.
