Re: Re:Magnesium v Calcium

[Guest guest]

My own experience is counter to that of the mainstream press. I have

found that I get plenty of calcium and not nearly enough magnesium in

my normal diet. This is a serious problem.

Too much calcium leads to free blood calcium and this can be very

serious beyond bone spurs or even bone loss. It caused muscle

contractions. I was taking Ezorb a powerful source of calcium and I

had a leg cramp that left me unable to walk and in agony for over a

day. Then I realized then that heart attacks can be a form of muscle

cramps. Grateful that my deficiency showed itself in my leg rather than

my heart, I have never taken any form of calcium since. Magnesium

relaxes muscle... nicer idea and much less painful.

Given a choice, relaxed muscles sound much better. I have had one mild

foot cramp since using magnesium oil... in about five years. That

incident told me that I was not applying enough. Since then I have

learned that a large segment of the population is deficient in

magnesium and despite the hype, few have a calcium deficiency, even

those who suffer from bone loss. You simply cannot absorb the calcium

that you get in your diet when you are deficient in magnesium and many

food products are fortified with calcium. Fortifying food with

magnesium in adequate amounts would cause unpleasant diarrhea, so it is

avoided. Transdermal is the ideal solution.
