Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thank you Jeri ! In a message dated 8/25/2010 9:43:58 A.M.

Low magnesium can cause type 2 diabetes or hypertension or hypotension. Mild symptoms include insomnia, irritibility, fatigue, mood swings, constipation, jekyl/hyde, violence tendencies, muscle spasms, muscle twitches, etc. Moderate to severe mag loss can result in sustained muscle contractions, heart rhythm changes, death. Thankfully my husband is alive now, but 29 months ago I witnessed a local medical team deplete his electrolytes including mag by using IV Lasix. I witnessed all the above..his body eventually went into sustained contractions, then ventricular tachycardia with torsades then eventually death, it was a life changing crisis for us, I will always highly regard magnesium! And I will never forget the RN who laughed at me when I stated he was dehydrated, flushed and needed fluids. Within the hour he experienced death firsthand.

I take about a teaspoon every night and haven't had a problem since even while taking CSM. For me, it helps with my IBS which is aggravated by my MCS. Magnesium (800 to 1200 mgs a day) helps keep me regular. It's a wonderful natural solution to constipation.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Mayleen, thanks for the great links! Yes, magnesium, calcium, potassium, chloride and sodium go hand in hand... we make sure we get plenty of all five minerals / electrolytes. Since we no longer eat much overprocessed food, we supplement our foods with sea salt, especially in the hotter summer months. When medical professionals mistakingly restrict our salt intake when not understanding our holistic lifestyle we develop serious muscle problems as we both have experienced when hospitalized (different network from the one identified below...) Robin, yes, it was a horrible shocking experience that we both hope to prevent others from experiencing. To have a medical professional, an RN, *laugh* at me, state " where did you get your medical training? That is contrindicated in what we are trying to do to him " just an hour before his death experience has left me distrusting anyone of the medical profession. Well, today, 29 months later, I would love to ask her " so where exactly did you receive your medical training, Ms. Clawson? I know more about watching for dehydration and imbalances simply by being a loving wife and an observant patient advocate. Oh yeah, my medical training is basic first aid, CPR and the School of Hard Knocks. " So today, 29 months later, I still have extreme PTSD regarding medical settings, ERs and hospitals in particular, (actually we both do...) to the point it has severely impeded our ability to seek out emergency medical care when legitimately needed. My husband refused an ambulance and refused going to an ER despite having fractured his hip this April. This summer I failed to go to an ER when I was developing new DVTs, then again severely delayed seeking emergency care when I was developing extensive new DVTs leaving me vulernable to medical staff at another hospital talking me OUT of seeking emergency medical care when it was medically necessary. All of the above which are life-threatening situations that required immediate medical intervention including hospitalization yet our mutual distrust of the emergency medical professionals, even of other facilities, impeded our ability to seek out emergency medical care when it was necessary. And once we did finally submit ourselves into the hands of emergency medical providers, things obviously didn't go as smoothly as it does for others who are engendered to rely upon these facilities. I'm sorry to the staff who's had to work with us since that fateful day, the background situation was not one of their making, but unfortunately we are forever affected by our experiences. All because two people, Dr D and S.C. RN, totally obliterated our former engendered reliance on the emergency medical community..all of which took place near a lake in the metro St. Louis area. We have his medical records from the fateful day which clearly indicates " concerning " electrolyte levels at 8:53am, IV Lasix being ordered then administered at 12:42pm then his experience with death at 2:55pm. Six hours they had the ability to medically intervene to prevent his experience with death. Instead, an hour before his experience with death, I was laughed at and ridiculed by the medical professional we entrusted his life. Even a simple apology would have sufficed...however, our reward was for them to transfer him out of their care, put him in their associated medical facility about 20 miles east, not inform the cardiologists of the FACTS, causing him to undergo an otherwise unnecessary heart procedure within hours after the death experience thereby further endangering his life, then a NINE DAY standoff against a whole team of cardiologists and electrophysiologists who insisted he needed a device implanted permanently, an AICD, which would have forever impacted his life... and is proven today to not have been medically necessary. Someday perhaps someone at SSM corporate or St. ph West will own up enough to simply apologize or say " I'm sorry for the hell you've been through. " Until then, we tell the facts as we know them. Instead, days later, someone identifying themselves as " SSM Corporate Risk Manager " contacted me on my personal cell phone, stated to me " we've conducted both physician and nursing peer reviews. We've made changes based upon these peer reviews, but they are confidential and you will never know what those changes were " Thanks SSM Corporate Risk Manager, you really made my day that day when you again rubbed my nose into this traumatic situation. As directed by our legal counsel, I have vowed to share our story far and wide. My life mission is simply undertaken as an effort to encourage others to take ownership for their health. We are only given this one body for this particular path of life. No matter what happens to us, good or bad, within the medical community, the medical professionals still go home each and every night to their families. Do we? Not always... Death is an inevitable part of the journey we all experience, however early death for the wrong reasons is in of itself a tragedy. Courage is the ability to Just Say No to the Medical Mafia.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Jeri, My Pleasure I am so so sorry you had to have such a horrible experience. My father sat in an ER for 2 hours my mother constantly telling them of his history of brain hemorage, they kept saying no Dr's available then my father had a major heart attack and 7 medics showed up at which point they had to shock him 3 x times to get a cardiac rythm............................the horrors of hospitals, er's, emt etc. there is negligence everywhere we go. Then they think they know it all. God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: Jeri Zerr <jerizerr@...> Sent: Wed, August 25, 2010 11:45:38 PM Subject: Re: [] Re: OT Magnesium  Mayleen, thanks for the great links!
