Introduction
When it comes to healing and life itself, after the water we drink and the air we breathe, magnesium lives up to it’s billing as the miracle mineral that can save us in our time of desperate need. Called by the ancient Chinese “the beautiful mineral”, its beauty is seen in the absolute healing power it contains. It is nothing short of a miracle mineral. It holds the key for hundreds of crucial enzyme reactions and cellular processes. Magnesium Chloride, when supplied in sufficient quantities, can kick start cell physiology in a very powerful way.
Few know that Magnesium Chloride is an impressive infection fighter and even fewer know that an efficient way to deliver magnesium to all the cells is by transdermal means (This would happen if we spent hours a day bathing in the sea)
Magnesium Chloride is the ultimate in preventive medicine as well as an all purpose clinical tool used to treat more clinical situations than any other single therapeutic agent.
There is no substitute for magnesium; it's as close as a metal comes to being as necessary as air.
The first and most crucially important thing we need to do is address, in the most powerful and quickest way possible, our magnesium deficiencies.
Why We Need Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for the functioning of hundreds of different enzymes in the body, particularly those that produce, transport, store and utilize energy. Magnesium is important for the following metabolic processes:
• Protein synthesis: DNA and RNA in our cells require magnesium for cell growth and development.
• sparking the electrical signals that must travel throughout the miles of nerves in our bodies (including the impulses for our brain, heart and other organs). This also implies energy regulation and distribution throughout the body.
• Normal blood pressure, vascular tone, transmission of nerve-cell signals, and blood flow.
• Functioning of all nerves and muscles.
Examples of Benefits
· Anxiety and Panic Attacks: Magnesium helps keep adrenal stress hormones under control and maintain normal brain function. In her book, The Miracle of Magnesium (Balantine Books 2003), Dr. Carolyn Dean points out that the rate of depression has gone up every decade since World War II. It's quite possible that this is related to magnesium depletion. Magnesium deficiency is one of the major nutritional reasons for depression. (Also lack of full spectrum salts e.g. Ionic minerals and trace elements) and a lack of essential fatty acids, e.g. hemp or fish oils.
· Asthma: Magnesium helps relax the muscles of the bronchioles in the lungs.
· Constipation: Magnesium helps to keep the bowels regular by maintaining normal bowel-muscle function.
· Diabetes: Magnesium helps insulin transport glucose into the cell. Without this, glucose builds up in tissue causing glycaemic stress and damage.
· Heart Disease: Magnesium deficiency is common in those with heart disease. The mineral is an effective treatment for heart attacks and cardiac arrhythmias.
· Hypertension: Without adequate magnesium, blood vessels constrict and blood pressure increases.
· Insomnia: Magnesium helps regulate melatonin, a hormone that's essential for normal sleep cycles.
· Nerve Problems: Magnesium helps eliminate peripheral nerve disturbances that can lead to migraines, leg and foot cramps, gastrointestinal cramps, and so on.
· Osteoporosis: Without magnesium, calcium may actually contribute to osteoporosis.
· Parkinson’s Disease. There are some cases that have improved considerably with the application of Magnesium Chloride. See here
· Spasms, cramps, muscle contractions: These are often indicative of magnesium deficiency.
As Magnesium is fundamental to virtually all metabolic processes in can help restore health in almost any health disorder and has been used as a corner stone in systemic mineral and vitamin therapy to this effect since the 1980’s. What is new is the form of magnesium we supply, Magnesium Chloride.
Regenerative Nutrition is proud to supply Magnesium Chloride as contained in our 3 products as Ionic Liquid Minerals & Trace Elements 200 ml, Mag Sea Ionics (200ml) & Mag Sea Pure (200ml)
Ionic Liquid Minerals & Trace Elements (200ml) (Click on the link for article)
This is the original Inland sea water concentrate we have been promoting for many years. It contains some magnesium chloride (about 3% dry weight of magnesium) and is a balanced mixture of mineral salts. In this respect it is suitable for the delicate and frail to start on this product. However to resolve magnesium deficiency faster we recommend that apart from the extremely hypersensitive and delicate types, Mag Sea Ionics is the ideal foundation and starting point of nutritional therapy.
Mag Sea Ionics (200ml)
Due to our long term study of the beneficial effects of sea water, through the use of an inland sea water concentrate diluted in water, we have long realised the need for all of the minerals in sea water (over 90 in all). Please see the article Ionic Liquid Minerals & Trace Elements and Celtic Sea salt to understand the benefits of whole, unheated, unrefined sodium chloride as opposed to the denatured heated refined sodium chloride that is widely added to our food.
The second major mineral in sea water is magnesium chloride, however, the amounts are too low to fundamentally overcome magnesium deficiency at the amounts of sea water that is appropriate to consume daily. We have therefore combined magnesium chloride solution with the Ionic Liquid Minerals and Trace Elements, to provide Mag Sea Ionics. 10ml (one dessertspoon) of this mixture will provide 475 mg of magnesium. 10ml of Ionic Liquid Minerals and Trace Elements on its own only provides 200 mg of magnesium chloride.
Delicate and sensitive persons are generally advised to start with Ionic Liquid Minerals and Trace Elements for the first few weeks, before proceeding onto Mag Sea Ionics, but for most individuals Mag Sea Ionics is an ideal supplement to begin with in any therapeutic regime.
Directions
Adults & Children Over 6 Years
Maintenance use: one 5 ml medicinal teaspoon in a minimum of one glass of water daily. For best results drink periodically throughout the day.
Intensive use (Adults Only): two 5ml medicinal teaspoons in at least one pint of water daily. For best results drink periodically throughout the day. Intensive use is generally recommended for the first six months unless the person is sensitive or of low body weight; or as recommended by a therapist.
Children 3-6 Years one 3 ml domestic teaspoon in at least one glass of water daily.
Mag Sea Pure (200ml)
Resolving magnesium deficiency
It can take a year or more with conventional magnesium supplements to resolve the long term magnesium deficiency we almost universally, suffer from. With Mag Sea Pure – Ancient Ocean Seabed Magnesium Chloride applied to the skin, the deficiency can be resolved in a few months. This dramatically increases your chances of significant health benefits and underpins any other therapeutic input, be it energy therapy (acupuncture, chi-gong, etc.) or other nutritional supplements (Zell Oxygen / Immunocomplex, herbs, and any other supplements). This is because the minerals act as the base of the pyramid so to speak. They are the foundation upon which to build health. Without this foundation we are not able to integrate other therapies/supplements so well and can over stimulate or react poorly to life’s health challenges, such as stress or pollution. Of all the minerals, magnesium is the most widely deficient. We can consider it the most basic, yet potent, step in health recovery / improvement.
Mag Sea Pure can be used for persons who wish to resolve magnesium deficiency fast, or have been directed to do so by their therapist. As it does not contain all the essential mineral salts, generally we recommend also using Mag Sea Ionics orally along side the topical application of Mag Sea Pure. For persons avoiding sodium (This is usually a mistake, please see our articles on Ionic minerals and Celtic Sea salt) use only Mag Sea Pure & do not use Mag Sea Ionics or Ionic Minerals and Trace elements.
Directions for topical application. Mag Sea Pure is best absorbed into the bloodstream via topical application. Do not take the neat product internally. Apply/massage in to the abdomen, chest and armpits. If stinging or redness appears dilute with about 2 parts water before application (Periodically test to see if your skin has adapted to the full strength, if so use full strength solution)
Typical maintenance use: Half a teaspoon (2 1/2ml) once or twice daily. DO NOT TAKE ORALLY
Intensive use: One teaspoon (5ml) twice daily. DO NOT TAKE ORALLY
Sensitive individuals should start at a half teaspoon (2 1/2ml) once daily. DO NOT TAKE ORALLY
Caution is necessary in cases of renal deficiency / kidney disorders
Magnesium Chloride is paradoxically both calming and energising. Long tem use (especially if taken orally as Mag Sea Ionics) will tend to aid sleep, but in the short term the energising effects on sensitive people, especially if used in the afternoon or evening, can possibly cause restlessness or difficulty getting to sleep.
