Thank you for being a loyal subscriber. Here's another chance to read our top article on: Magnesium Deficiency – A Little Known Killer

Not long ago, my 86 year old grandmother was rushed to the hospital. Although she's never had heart problems, she was experiencing shortness of breath, tightness in her chest and palpitations.
 
The doctors in the ER thought she was having a heart attack. They watched her vital signs closely, while administering electrolytes by IV. After three days of tests and monitoring, my grandmother was released from the hospital... and referred to a cardiologist.

How an Intelligent and Forward-Thinking Doctor Saved My Grandmother's Life...
 
Instead of immediately putting her on a heart medication - as most doctors would do - my grandmother's physician did something that I believe saved her life. She did something that's rarely done in acute care within "mainstream" medicine. She checked my grandmother's mineral levels.
 
The result showed that she was suffering from an acute magnesium deficiency. She left that day with only one prescription - for a daily magnesium supplement.
 
And to think that for less than $0.05 per day, my grandmother could have avoided a near-death experience... and a $20,000 hospital visit.

But the issue my grandmother faced is all too common.
 
Some studies have shown that over 80% of the U.S. population is deficient in magnesium, to one degree or another. That means there is a good chance that YOU are deficient.
 
And that can be serious business. It has been estimated that magnesium deficiency is largely responsible for up to 20 million deaths worldwide every year, including nearly 600 per day in the U.S. alone!
 
This Mineral is Vital to Your Existence Do You Have Enough of It?
 
Magnesium plays hundreds of crucial roles in your body.
 
In fact, the 7 different forms of magnesium connect to a variety of biological systems. When you get them in the right dose, everything works better.

It helps regulate the rhythm of your heartbeat (the greatest stores of magnesium in the body are found in the heart). It helps control your blood pressure and maintain insulin sensitivity.
 
It controls the uptake and release of many hormones and neurotransmitters. And it is vital for more than 400 different enzyme reactions in the body (more than any other mineral).
 
It is also required for normal nerve and muscle function. In fact, 7 out of 10 steps to produce ATP (your body's energy fuel) require magnesium. It's no surprise that some of the most common signs of deficiency are cramping, muscle twitching and fatigue.
 
When your body doesn't get ALL the magnesium it needs, in all the forms that it needs at the optimal dosage... EVERY biological system is compromised...
 
Magnesium deficiency can also be associated with anxiety and depression, asthma, autism, chronic fatigue, constipation, diabetes, fibromyalgia, heart attack, headaches, high blood pressure, IBS, kidney stones, metabolic syndrome, obesity, PMS, stroke, and acid reflux, just to name a few.
 
Most people used to get about 500 mg per day of magnesium. These days, due to soil depletion and the modern diet, most of us are lucky to get just 200 mg.
 
Processed foods - which make up about 90% of the money Americans spend on food - contain almost none of this vital mineral.
 
We further deplete our body's magnesium stores with the phosphoric acid in colas and coffee, by consuming, table salt, excess alcohol, diuretics, antibiotics and other drugs. We also lose magnesium as we age.
 
Consumption of sugar and carbohydrates also contribute to magnesium depletion. It takes up to 272 molecules of magnesium to break down just 1 molecule of glucose!
 
To Keep Your Magnesium Levels in a Healthy Range
 
Be sure to enjoy dark leafy greens (like spinach and Swiss chard), nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, wild salmon and halibut, black beans and navy beans, and don't forget the most decadent source of magnesium - delicious dark cocoa!
 
There are dozens of vitamin, mineral, enzyme and hormone deficiencies that can put your health and your quality of life at serious risk. Not to mention environmental toxins and malfunctions in your organs and immune system.

The good news is that you can test for all of these things. Most of the tests are quite inexpensive. They are very easy to perform. And in many cases, your insurance will even pay for it.

Unfortunately, most doctors simply don’t test for these critical factors.
 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s why decoding your symptoms early could literally save your life – or that of a loved one.

Don’t wait – take control of your health today!

 
 
To Your Health,
