16/08: Magnesium
In the world of minerals, magnesium is probably one of the most under utilized nutrients there is. Studies show many people in the U.S. today do not consume the daily recommended amounts of Magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that is known to be required for hundreds of different enzymatic and systemic functions in the body. It has been shown that a lack of this important nutrient may be a major factor in many common health problems in many of the 'so called' highly industrialized countries around the world. Many of the pathologies occurring in today’s society have been labeled as idiopathic in nature, which means that 'modern' medicine doesn't know what causes them to occur. They fall into what is known as a ‘sub clinical’ category, or an area that has not yet become a field of study, and where disease festers just under the surface as merely a 'symptom/s' that the modern medical model can't categorize.
For example, if you are deficient in this mineral according to studies the cell has trouble utilizing insulin to any extent. Controlled studies show that the intake of magnesium increases the absorption and active duration of insulin once it's in the cell. It has also been shown that there is a direct correlation between blood levels of magnesium and increased carbohydrate metabolism. In most clinical settings this is proof enough to warrant magnesium's use for this kind of problem. A significant portion of the symptoms in many chronic pathological disorders are identical to that which would be associated with a magnesium deficiency. Common conditions such as mitral valve prolapse, migraines, attention deficit disorder, fibromyalgia, asthma and allergies have all been linked to a Magnesium deficiency. Perhaps, and not coincidentally, these conditions also tend to occur in clusters together within the same individual. A magnesium deficiency as a root cause would provide a logical explanation of why some people suffer from a constellation of these types of problems.
Pathologies that are linked to a magnesium deficiency are:
- Allergies, chemical sensitivities
- Anxiety and psychiatric disorders
- Aorta weakness
- Asthma
- ADD
- Circulatory and soft tissue calcification
- Night cramps
- Lethargy
- Insulin insensitivity
