Magnesium –An Important Mineral for Maintaining Proper Electrical Balances
Magnesium Chloride comes from ancient salt deposits
From the book Transdermal Magnesium Therapy, by Mark Sircus, Ac., O.M.D.“Magnesium is the single most important mineral for maintaining proper electrical balances and facilitating smooth metabolism in the cells,”
He continues, “Magnesium deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems in the industrialized world today. This deficiency is the result of agricultural practices and of food preparation techniques.
Magnesium Deficiency causes problems in our body, such as:
· Over 300 enzymes in our body are unable to function properly
· Has been scientifically identified as a critical factor in the onset of these conditions:
o Hypertension
o Diabetes
o Heart disease
o Inflammation
o Stroke
o Alzheimer
o Autism
o Cancer
o Acute asthma attacks
o Migraines
o Fatigue
o Fibromyalgia
o Acute muscle spasm – even a heart attack
o Allergic reactions
o Chronic sinusitis
and Cardiovascular disease, etc. — all happen because there is a deficiency of Magnesium chloride

Type 2 Diabetes, Depression and Low Magnesium Levels?
Studies continue around the world on the effects of Magnesium on both our physical as well as our mental health. In a study conducted by the Medical Research Unit in Clinical Epidemiology, Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Durango, Mexico, the magnesium sulfate levels of older patients with diabetes was measured. Here are some of their findings:
The study focused on assessing the hypothesis that hypomagnesemia, or low magnesium levels, was associated with the depression in older people with diabetes. The study was conducted with the following parameters: Type 2 diabetes, age 65 or older, and depressive symptoms. A non-depressed control group was also included in this study.
The findings? The magnesium levels in the measurably depressed group was lower than the levels of the non-depressed group. The clinical team concluded that, “hypomagnesemia is independently associated with depressive symptoms in older people with diabetes”.
