Magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel, which explains why re-mineralization is so essential for heavy metal detoxification & chelation

[Guest guest]

        Magnesium will aslo protect your brain from aluminum, as well as

nickel and a few other metals; To make Glutathione you also need magnesium

according to the references in this article.

Magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and

nickel, which explains why re-mineralization is so essential for heavy metal

detoxification and chelation. Magnesium protects the cell against oxyradical

damage and assists in the absorption and metabolism of B vitamins, vitamin C and

E, which are anti-oxidants important in cell protection. Recent evidence

suggests that vitamin E enhances glutathione levels and may play a protective

role in magnesium deficiency-induced cardiac lesions.[11]

Magnesium in general is essential for the survival of our cells but takes on

further importance in the age of toxicity where our bodies are being bombarded

on a daily basis with heavy metals. Magnesium protects the brain from toxic

effects of chemicals. It is highly likely that low total body magnesium

contributes to heavy metal toxicity in children and is a strong participant in

the etiology of learning disorders.

Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues,

degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. Recent research has pointed to low

glutathione levels being responsible for children’s vulnerability to mercury

poisoning from vaccines.[12] It seems more than reasonable to assume that low

levels of magnesium would also render a child vulnerable.

 

Glutathione requires magnesium for its synthesis.[13] Glutathione synthetase

requires ?-glutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP, and magnesium ions to form

glutathione.   In magnesium deficiency, the enzyme y-glutamyl transpeptidase is

lowered.[14] Data demonstrates a direct action of glutathione both in vivo and

in vitro to enhance intracellular magnesium and a clinical linkage between

cellular magnesium, GSH/GSSG ratios, and tissue glucose metabolism.[15]

Magnesium deficiency causes glutathione loss, which is not affordable because

glutathione helps to defend the body against damage from cigarette smoking,

exposure to radiation, cancer chemotherapy, and toxins such as alcohol and just

about everything else.[16]
