Re: Magnesium Deficiency Reduces Glutathione

[Guest guest]

I like magnesium. My concern is that bacteria like magnesium too, so we could be countering our body's attempts to starve the bacteria by replenishing their supply. It's possibly a catch-22. Here's an old paper with great photos of the changes in bacterial cells starved of mg. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=315329 & blobtype=pdf penny Al Melillo <melillo3@...> wrote: Good articles like this at: www.keephopealive.org ; from their 2006"Journal of Immunity" link.

Penny:

In the abstract, it talks about the bacteria being deprived of Mg, in

the presence of Mg in the cell....

So it's got to be a different mechanism for deprivation, other than

with holding an nurtitive element..

Also:

It's my opinion that you cannot starve them out....

any more than you can starve a tape worm out.

I agree. That's a really old paper, I just thought since there was another paper on cell starvation that some might like to see what it looks like. I've still read enough stuff, though, that makes me nervous about replenishing mineral deficiencies. pennyBarb Peck <egroups1bp@...> wrote: Penny:In the abstract, it talks about the bacteria being deprived of MG, in the presence of Mg in the cell....So it's got to be a different mechanism for deprivation, other than with holding an nurtitive element..Also:It's my opinion that you cannot starve them out....any more than you can starve a tape worm out.Barb> Good articles like this at: www.keephopealive.org ; from their 2006> > "Journal of Immunity" link.> > > Magnesium deficiency reduces glutathione levels and

That's a very interesting point- I was alway's terrified of feeding

the bugs there requirement's. One of the main positives for me was a

strict candida diet(eraluy in disease) which is also something that

would target fats another possable disaster in our disease.I liken

the cabdida diet to a fast of an orthodox(religious) nature no fats,

no oils.

I recall being told I also had a fatty liver and do carry a small

amount of weight around my midsection. I believe that fats that are

driven by inflammation and who knows how many hormones are deposited

badly and possably choke many of the organs and glands that are at

the basis of why we are ill.Actually something similar to diabetes

with a few extensions.Also the people 2 thoiusand years ago were

pretty smart to exclude fats and oils from the diet a couple of

months of the year possably enabling all organs to function well. I

would also think the body may utilise some fat stores as opposed to

today's western style eating bodies possably not having a need to

visit fat stores for 20 plus year periods.So what is TRULY a good

balancing act is what we have to discover.
