I would try magnesium, most people are low on it and do not even know it. I sure

was. My favorite magnesium is Pure Essence Labs Ionic Magnesium. It is a tasty

powder drink and has totally eliminated leg cramps and heart flutters in this

pregnancy! My dad still gets a leg cramp now and then, he can take one or two

scoops and it will immediately go away though. Best to you, Caitlin Lorraine

Thanks Duncan, I will try the mag. Could be my imagination but mine seems to

be food related. I sure hope it isn't the coconut oil. C

I've had the same thing, more than once, same cause, same cure, magnesium,

only I didn't know it was bronchial spasms. That's good to know.

If you are eating green vegetables every day, and you are eating sea vegetables,

it's hard to imagine how you could be deficient in magnesium.

Nina, I was just reading in Dr. Sherry ' book " Detoxify or Die, " that

each enzyme requires a specific mineral in order for it to function

properly. Magnesium is required by over 300 different enzymes that the body

needs to produce in order to function well. Nothing happens inside the body

without an enzyme there acting as a catalyst; that includes detoxification.

If you're exposed to enough of the environmental toxins that require a

magnesium-enzyme for detoxification, then I can see how it is more than

possible to be deficient in magnesium even though your dietary levels appear

to be adequate.

In addition, just because it is in the food that you have eaten, doesn't

mean that it is assimilated by the body. Much of assimilation is very

dependent on the state of the intestinal tract, and the state of the

intestinal tract of the vast majority of Americans is a sorry one.

....

Speaking of environmental toxins and detox pathways, most of us spend 8 or

so hours every night of our lives with our faces pressed into, and our

bodies against, materials that outgas formaldehyde, i.e., pillows and

mattresses.

The enzyme that detoxifies aldehydes requires the trace mineral molybdenum.

If you are deficient in this trace mineral (because it's not in your diet,

or you can't assimilate it from your food, or your body simply has a great

need for it, and has used up all that it had, e.g., you just got new pillows

and a new mattress ), then you will not be able to detox the aldehydes - or

the sulfites or purines. Form -aldehyde is a member of the aldehyde family.

As are, if I'm not mistaken, at least some of the nasty by-products of

Candida, so you will suffer the ill effects of those toxins more than would

someone who can detoxify them adequately.

(On a tangent note, if formaldehyde is not properly broken down in the body,

it turns into formic acid. For those of you who live in the south that is

what fireant venom primarily is. Can you imagine having fireant venom

running through your vascular system, wreaking havoc, burning and pillaging,

as it goes? I would imagine that this would result in some pretty

impressive vascular inflammation, along with fatigue and other unpleasant

symptoms.)

....

You can get ' books directly from the publishers. (The bookstores

that I checked into don't keep them in stock; they will have to order them

for you.)

www.prestigepublishing.com

The two that I recommend to start out with are " Detoxify or Die, " and " Tired

or Toxic? "

If you call in your order to the publishers, be sure to ask them what

shipping method they are going to use. When I specified UPS or Fed-Ex, the

guy said " Oh, we normally ship our books out media mail. " I was in a hurry

to get the books, and didn't want to wait weeks to get them, so I paid extra

to get the faster shipping.

Carol,

Thank you for sharing all that info. Along the lines of detoxing people also

need to realize that it isn't a one time thing. Detoxing takes place over time

as the body is strong enough to do it and it certainly isn't DR. FEELGOOD, but

very necessary. I should know, I'm the " detox queen " . I have been at this clean

up for sixteen years. The first few years I would go through three or four

healing detoxes each year. Now it is only once every couple of years. One of the

things I have found to be very effective in my detox process is Dr. LaMar's

Liquid Bentonite. www.drlamarsproducts.com The Native Americans have used

bentonite forever as an intestinal detoxifier.

Most of us don't get the enzymes we need because we cook almost all our food and

enzymes are destroyed at slightly over 100 degrees. I wonder what irradiation or

the scanner at the grocery store does to the enzymes? C
