The Importance of Magnesium

I would like to introduce Dr Carolyn Dean's new book, The Magnesium Miracle 2nd edition, she is not only a medical doctor, but also a naturopath, herbalist, acupuncturist, nutritionist, lecturer, consultant, author, inventor, and entrepreneur. Dr. Dean has been in the forefront of health issues for over 30 years. The book explains why everybody today is deficient of magnesium, especially if your on a drug.
Carolyn Dean says, "Every day I also hear distressing stories about magnesium deficiency. Just today walking along the beach near my home I met an 80-year old gentleman who asked me to sit and talk. Julius said he used to walk up and down the beach like me but now his arthritis prevented him. But he said he only began having symptoms of arthritis after taking medication for slightly elevated cholesterol. Instead of a diet and magnesium, his doctor immediately put him on a cholesterol-lowering drug. When he began developing pain, which was obviously from the drug, instead of stopping the drug and giving magnesium to lower cholesterol, to help detoxify the drug, and also lessen muscle cramps, his doctor gave him a strong pain medication. And then his ankles began to swell and Julius said his doctor gave him a diuretic!"
Too many doctors today will prescribe a pharmaceutical drug for a chronic disease symptom when a patient is magnesium deficient and that patient would benefit more from taking a magnesium supplement. In watching this video, I did not know that many of our drugs are made from fluoride and that fluroride depletes magnesium. I invite you to watch this video and hopefully it will empower you in choosing the best strategy in your health.
