Magnesium Deficiency Is Not What You Are Told

Magnesium Deficiency Causes

In addition to inadequate intake of this vital mineral, these other causes can also trigger magnesium deficiency symptoms the fact they deplete your body of it:

  • Alcoholism
  • Taking oral contraceptives, estrogen and cisplatin and some other anticancer drugs
  • Incorrect intestinal absorption of magnesium due to Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, intestinal surgery, etc…
  • Excessive consumption of other mineral supplements is also a factor. Minerals interact with each other and an excess of manganese or potassium, for example, may cause a magnesium deficiency.
  • Long-term treatment with medications that increase magnesium loss in the urine: Loop diuretics (furosemide) and thiazide diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide, for example); antibiotics (gentamicin, amphotericin); and cyclosporine (immunosuppressant).
    Calcium supplements can decrease the absorption of magnesium, but do not seem to have any effect on the reservations and magnesium blood levels. So far, no case of deficiency of magnesium has been reported as a result of taking calcium supplements.

Common early warning signs of low magnesium in the body include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and weakness. If the deficiency worsens, the following symptoms may occur: numbness, muscle twitching and cramps, irregular heartbeat and coronary spasms. The conventional medicine just recommends drugs to treat these symptoms instead of giving the body what it really asks for. No wonder why about at least 500000 Americans die a year due to medical drug related medical conditions.

Sources of Magnesium

Homemade Magnesium Oil

While taking magnesium supplements may help the ideal solution is to consume foods rich in it. And one of the cheapest and most effective means to supplement your body is doing transdermal magnesium therapy, using magnesium oil. It is absorbed quickly through the skin and goes directly to the bloodstream. You can make your own oil by mixing magnesium chloride flakes with purified water.                                                                                                                

Top 50 Magnesium Rich Foods

Legumes, seeds, nuts, whole grains, wheat germ, dark green leafy vegetables and brewer’s yeast are best sources of magnesium.
