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
Fibromyalgia: It’s not in my Head
Anyone who has experienced the symptoms of fibromyalgia know that it is a dibilitating condition. Tests do not exist that clearly indicate the existance of this condition, and only after the elimination of other possible conditions is the diagnosis of fibromyalgia confirmed. No one seems to know the true cause: is it injury, such as an auto accident, or is it organic, brought on by illness, stress, or deficiencies in our diet, such as a chronic magnesium deficiency?
When we compare the sypmptoms of fibromyalgia to the list of symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, we find striking similarities. Brain fog is common amongst fibromyalgia sufferers, and so is depression, lethargic behavior, and severe fatigue. These symptoms are also common with a long term magnesium deficiency.
Muscle cramps, muscle pain, aches and spasms are also common to both fibromyalgia and low magnesium levels. Could the onset of fibromyalgia be caused by a mineral deficiency? This may be difficult to assess or prove. But in the long run, if we can lessen or eliminate the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and restore a person back to functional wellness, isn’t that a step in the right direction?
