Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Darci, I give Ingvar several different forms of magnesium, too. As I said, the strategy of starving the pathogens never works. Because Lyme loves magnesium and is fed on magnesium, it severely depletes the body magnesium. Without sufficient levels of magnesium, many functions in the body do not work properly, including immune and neurological systems as well as cell to cell communication. This is why Dr. K puts your children on a lot of magnesium supplement. There are 3 essential minerals that are easily trapped in bacterial biofilm: calcium, magnesium, and iron. I feel that it is necessary to monitor these minerals before deciding to supplement or to avoid, especially if you also do any form of metal chelation therapy. I personally like to see zinc and magnesium at the higher end within the reference range, and calcium at the lower end within the reference range, because too much calcium can be excitortoxic to the brain. If you use EDTA regularly (such as Phospholipids Exchange), I feel that at some point supplementing calcium is necessary, as EDTA chelates calcium along with lead and cadmium. When lead comes out from the body, it drags calcium with it. For the children who are easily having seizures, monitoring the levels of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium is must.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 My son is chronically low in iron, calcium and magnesium. Thanks Limin. Very useful info.
