Could ReMag Change Your Life Too?

Could ReMag Change Your Life Too?

by teclan Admin in Journal

On a weekly basis I receive messages of how magnesium has changed lives. Restless legs, depression, hot flushes, irritability, palpitations, cramp, insomnia ….
This email from from Dr. Carolyn Dean tells all…

“October 30, 2014

Aloha,

The following report is from a 34-year old client and mother of two young teens. She told me that before she started taking magnesium she was a wreck. She gave me permission to share her story in hopes that it will help people to understand the benefits of magnesium. 

My client says:

In 2014 all the stress in my life finally caught up with me. Being an overly worried mom, school volunteer, perfectionist wife, people pleaser, business owner w/ husband and everyone’s go-to-person took me over the edge

Panic attacks and anxiety were in full swing and it just got worse. Before all this I was very confident and strong willed and could do anything and drive anywhere. One day, supposedly “out of the blue” I had a panic attack on the road driving and it scared me so much that I was afraid it would happen again and the fear overwhelmed me and created a mass of episodes daily.

These are the things I could no longer do:

* Be around groups of people

* Eat at restaurants

* Leave the house

* Drive far distances or even wait for over 5 minutes in a car without panicking…the heat made it worse.

* Go to work

* Watch anything bad on TV or hear bad stories…

* Sit for more than 10 minutes watching TV without twitching

* Go to the store or movies

I became afraid of Western Doctors. I still am due to pill pushers trying to make me take drugs. I was scared to take anything new (vitamins and supplements). I was actually afraid they might kill me.

Body effects Daily from anxiety and panic attacks:

* Insomnia

* Twitching-shoulders, legs, eyes, face, feet other body parts

* Head scratching/picking from nerves

* A sense of ready to jump out of my skin and ready to lose it

* Stomach issues- indigestion, fullness with little food, pain, choking feeling and gagging

* Weird head sensations and burning

* Numbness and tingling in face and extremities

* Sharp pains in the back between shoulder blades

* Sensitivity to heat

* Lack of appetite

* Afraid I was going to die daily and never going to get better

* Loss of muscle strength

* Bad/fear thoughts

* Nightmares

* Loss of weight due to lack of appetite

* Easy bruising

* Everything frustrated me

* Crying easily

I became a research queen and prayed a whole lot and I feel like the higher power lead me to Magnesium. Before I knew it, Magnesium was everywhere I looked, on books, on covers of magazines where I went, on and on and I took it as a sign. The final kicker was when I was on the internet researching natural solutions and I ran across a man who was referring people to the Magnesium Miracle book by Dr. Dean because he said it is a miracle.

I emailed him, he replied and told me how his over 25 yrs. of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts ended by the miracle of Magnesium. It was a major sign, the man is a NASA scientist and I believed him – we still keep in touch.

All through this time all the doctors just wanted me to be on Paxil or Celexa. I tried them and they made me feel worse. Dr. Dean later warned me that they both contain fluoride. Doctors told me I had an anxiety disorder and it will NEVER go away. No wonder I was terrified of them. I was hopeless and they gave me no hope.

I had a consult with Dr. Dean and started her ReMag (magnesium) at a snail’s pace because I was still terrified of everything killing me – but she told me that even a few drops would begin helping and they did and I increased my dose over time. The symptoms disappeared day-by-day and week-by-week.

I also took Vitamin C complex and B complex from Grown by Nature. I incorporated getting outdoors as much as possible, looking at nature and daily meditation/contemplation. I realized I had to slow down and look at my life in a different way. I even felt I had to eliminate the negative people from my life and focus on what I love and enjoy

Now, when symptoms creep up, I can pin point what I have done to cause my magnesium deficiency and simply increase it. I also took the advice of a dear friend who said “Just know that you will get better.”

Hormonal Migraines - Causes, Prevention and Relief

Hormonal Migraines - Causes, Prevention and Relief

Hormonal migraines are a type of headache linked to fluctuations in hormone levels. They commonly affect women due to the natural hormonal changes that occur throughout the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. These headaches can vary in intensity, duration, and type, ranging from mild to severe, and are often classified as menstrual migraines or premenstrual syndrome (PMS) headaches.  The headache may be preceded by an aura, with nausea or vomiting and a sensitivity to light. Interestingly there are hormone receptors in the eyes. They can also be accompanied by fatigue, poor appetite or cravings for salt and sugar and a general feeling of inflammation. Causes of Hormonal Migraines The tendency for these type of headaches to occur around the time of menstruation suggests that they are precipitated by a drop in either progesterone or oestrogen or by an imbalance of progesterone to oestrogen ratio, but in the direction of oestrogen excess. Stress will make matters worse as stress can cause low blood sugar resulting in headaches, irritability and exhaustion.  The perimenopause, menopause, the contraceptive pill and HRT can all cause hormone levels to fluctuate. Other causes of migraines/headaches - Skipping meals Poor sleep Over-exercise Artificial sweeteners Stress Alcohol Digestive turmoil Food sensitivities MSG Low salt Low blood sugar Not eating enough Low thyroid Prevention and Relief of Hormonal Migraines 1. Consider the hormone balancing herb Chaste tree (Vitex Agnus-castus). Studies show that women given Chaste tree for three months reduced the headaches they experienced during their menstrual cycle by 66%. Chaste tree can help balance hormones naturally, reducing typical premenstrual symptoms when taken regularly. 2. Avoid hormone disrupting chemicals. As headaches can be caused by unopposed oestrogen (oestrogen dominance) it is important to reduce xenoestrogens (oestrogen mimicking chemicals)  -  Try to purchase hormone free foods Consider swapping out chemical laden toiletries and make-up for more natural products Avoid touching till receipts, or wash hands straight afterwards - BPA's are chemicals present in high concentrations in receipt paper and linked linked to reproductive harm. They are known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC) because they can act as a xenoestrogens.  Reduce the use of plastics in bottles, food stuffs etc.   3. Hydrate with salted water. Adding a pinch of sea salt to a glass of water has been shown to alleviate migraines. It may be useful to add electrolytes to your water. Neuroscientist Dr Stanton recommends that every migraine sufferer should start the day with one-eighth of a teaspoon of salt.   4. Consider taking natural progesterone like the one from Forefront Health. Studies show that Progesterone appears to play a protective role against migraines.   5. Support liver function. The liver plays a significant role in hormone balance and thyroid conversion. To support healthy liver function and detoxification the liver requires adequate protein and glucose (fruit, root vegetables, honey etc. The liver also needs adequate selenium, copper, zinc and vitamins A, E, and B.  Consider liver supportive herbs like Milk thistle, Dandelion, Andrographis and Digestive bitters.   6. B vitamins help migraines. A 16-week study on women with episodic migraines revealed that supplementing with a B complex reduced headache attacks significantly. Several studies show that B vitamins can help prevent migraines.  Other studies show that taking Vitamin B2 at a dose of 400mg a day reduces migraines when taken consistently for 1- 3 months   7. Support thyroid health. Migraines can be a symptom of low thyroid which often occurs around the perimenopause. It is important to speak to a health expert regarding thyroid health and blood results, even when the report shows results are within range.  The Forefront Health range helps to support healthy thyroid function.   8. Magnesium for migraines. The American Migraine Association report that hormone related migraines can be prevented with magnesium. Magnesium can also help with tension headaches and cluster headaches. Since people with migraines often have low magnesium levels, the American Headache Society recommends a daily dose of 400 to 500 milligrams per day.

Natural Ways to Increase White Blood Cell Count and Support Immunity

Natural Ways to Increase White Blood Cell Count and Support Immunity

Proven ways to support your immune system - Echinacea - Several studies have demonstrated how Echinacea supports immunity. Echinacea has been shown to enhance natural killer cell activity and neutrophils rapidly increase within the first 24 hours of taking it.  Astragalus – Studies show Astragalus increases B-lymphocyte and T-lymphocyte levels, interleukin and antibody production. It also promotes phagocytosis, the process by which certain living cells called phagocytes engulf other cells, particles and even pathogens.  Cat’s Claw – A recent study showed that Cat’s Claw significantly elevated white blood cell count in adult men who supplemented with this herb for 6 months.  Turmeric – Studies support its efficacy as an immune supportive plant.  Vitamin B Complex – Especially B6 and B12 can increase the production of white blood cells in the body. Vitamin B9 (Folate) boosts the production of neutrophils and helps fight infections. Vitamin C and Vitamin A are also very important for increasing white blood cell count. Vitamin C supports immunity. Vitamin A boosts the production of lymphocytes. Zinc – Our body's use zinc to build immune system cells called T lymphocytes. Sunlight – A study, published in the journal, Scientific Reports, shows that sunlight may have an energising effect on T cells, a type of white blood cell that activates cells in the body to fight infection.  Selenium – Has been found to have a positive effect on the production of white blood cells.  Green tea – Increases the leukocyte activity and the total plasma antioxidant status and may have role to play in the prevention of inflammatory disease.  It’s important to note that a low white blood cell count can have serious health implications, and its underlying cause should be promptly identified and addressed by a healthcare professional.

Five Signs Your Feet Could be Warning You of a Thyroid Problem

Five Signs Your Feet Could be Warning You of a Thyroid Problem

Feet and the thyroid connection - 1. Dry, flaky and cracked - in a 2012 study of 460 patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism, 300 presented with dry, coarse skin. In another study in the same year 100% of patients with hypothyroidism had rough, dry skin. 2. Cold feet - Thyroid pioneer Dr Broda Barnes (1906-1988) wrote, “When thyroid function is low, circulation is reduced. In advanced cases of hypothyroidism, the skin, in fact, may receive as little as one 1/4 to 1/5th the normal blood supply.” Extremities are notably vulnerable to poor circulation, especially in the colder months. You may also have cold hands, tip of the nose and bottom. 3. Yellowing soles of the feet - in hypothyroidism this is due to a build up of beta-carotene which is stored in the external layer of skin - palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Thyroid hormone is needed for the conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A. This is what gives carrots their bright orange colour. 4. Cramp and foot pain - is a common complaint in people with thyroid disease. As is plantar fasciitis, especially shooting foot pain first thing. Carpal tunnel syndrome is also associated with hypothyroidism, as are burning feet. 5. Numbness and pins and needles - the insulating layer around nerves, the axonal myelin sheath, degenerates without sufficient thyroid hormone causing these unpleasant sensations. These are just some of the signs our feet tell us about the health of our thyroid, even a long time before a diagnosis.
