Are You Deficient in Magnesium?
Magnesium deficiency is very common because it
has been removed from our grains and water supply.
A deficiency in this mineral is the leading cause of
many health concerns, including:
- High blood pressure
- Irregular heart beat/heart palpitations
- Muscle pain or cramping
- Restless legs
- Twitching eyelids
- Sleep disturbances
- Depression
- ADHD
- Headaches/or migraines
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Osteoporosis
Ocular Migraines-Eye Migraines
As par for the course my life takes, I’ve
often had to be the recipient of a symptom
or condition to truly understand its
causes, effects and solutions — providing
me with a deeper understanding of
what my patients’ experience. Unfortunately,
this investigative report came
about because I recently experienced a
very troubling visual disturbance and dull
headache over one eye and immediately
panicked thinking it was a detached retina
again — one of the most debilitating conditions
I’ve been through!
The Extraordinary Benefits of Omega-3s
RESEARCH on the incredible health benefits of the omega-3s is published almost on a daily basis. The marine omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA play a crucial role in the development of the brain, nervous system and the eye. Even the medical community has been caught up in the excitement. In 2002, the American Heart Association issued a scientific statement on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health. The statement endorsed raising our levels of DHA and EPA either by eating fish or by taking a daily fish oil supplement. The American Heart Association statement reviews omega-3s support of healthy heart rhythm, cardiac strength and the health of blood vessels.
MAGNESIUM for Pain Relief
Clinical experience, as well as research
in nerve pain conditions such as pancreatic
cancer, has shown that magnesium can be
an effective treatment for pain. Although
it is clear why magnesium can decrease
muscle pain (it makes muscles relax),
why it would help nerve pain was less
clear. A new study on rats printed in The
Journal of Physiology confirms our clinical
experience that magnesium decreases
nerve pain—while also pointing to how it
works.
