Re: Re: Legs Hurt during the night

[Guest guest]

Hi Treva,

There are several things that could be the problem. I had three problems

for me that caused cramping and also dull aching all the way down my leg

and then also cold, cold feet. The cramping was a mineral deficiency

specifcally magnesium. I was taking alot of calcium at the time and did

not know you needed to take magnsium also and created an imbalance. Do

you take minerals??? You could be deficient in those. Also the other

problem I had was nerve related and my siatic was inflammed alot from

chronic repetitive motions. Accunpuncture helped with this and I

eventually learned how to massage my trigger points and now if I am

sitting for too long and blood flow is restricted sometimes it flares

back up and I can work those points and it goes away. Have you addressed

any spine problems yet??? The other thing is circulation which has to do

with your heart, and of course the spinal alignment. I took thing to

help with my heart and circulation and now my cold feet problem is

gone. I don't know if your problem could be any of these three things

but perhaps it is.

Treva,

It is almost certain that the majority of people are deficient in

minerals. That has been established a long while ago through food

samples and our modern diet. IF you are not taking any minerals that

would be a really good place to start. You will not harm yourself taking

a really good Multi every day, its highly recommended to supplement the

diet. Without minerals vitamins cannot go to work in the body and so

considering you are most likely deficient then all the vitamins you

consume cannot be utilized. Remember the body needs many co-factors to

make it work properly. Are you doing any supplements or special diets

yet?

This doesn't necessarily happen with a raw food diet, which is what I eat. My

recent blood test showed no deficiencies and I no longer supplement with

vitamins/minerals. If you eat cooked, processed foods you may continue to have

problems with digestion and nutrient absorption. (JMHO)

Unfortunately most people will never be raw foodists, most will not even

come close. People will not give up what satisfies their taste buds in

order to be healthy. Its much easier to supplement and I am thankful we

can have supplements for people like my kids who are not about to eat a

raw food diet, or my husband whos teeth are so bad he cannot chew raw or

hard foods, Its just not a reality for most people. Keep in mind also

that even though the foods you eat have not been depleted by cooking,

they still were grown in deficient soils and picked weeks before being

ripe which is when the nutrients come into the foods. In some cases like

with peaches you have to eat 53 of them to get the same amount of

Vitamin A as you would 30- years ago. Some foods are not quite as bad,

brocoli only needs 2x as much as 30 years ago , oranges 8x as much.

Still that is an awful lot of food to consume for the average person. I

don't know about the accuracy of the tests for some of these things but

I have heard they are not that accurate. The only test that appears to

be any good is called the serum ORAC PE. Most are still using the urine

tests which are just not accurate meausres of your antioxidant

protection. Just let your body be your guide it has all kinds of

indicators when deficiencies start to show up, if you are aware and I

know you are, you will pick them up. I for one will have to supplement

cause my diet is just not good enough.

That's a good start Treva. You can get past the sugar addiction.

Hi Tom,

What Magnsium supplement do you use? I just bought some magnesium

citrate and I have to make it in a tea first which

I don;t always feel like doing so I have not been taking. Is your pill

or capsule?

Hi Treva,

Juice plus is a good antioxidant, but now you need the multi also to

help it work. Just work on your diet slowly so you don't get sick. If

you have candida then major changes too quickly will cause you to feel

horrible. I made changes over a years times, replacing regular milk

with Almond milk, sometimes we still use Organic Raw Milk, replacing

regular bread with sprouted grain breads. The way I had to do it with my

kids was to put the new healthy food in the old box, or container, this

really helped them not notice as much. If they said this tastes weird, I

just shrugged my shoulders. We still eat red meat but its grass fed

organic buffalo mostly, and we don't eat that much of it. Just do the

best you can and the changes in your health will encourage you to do

more.

I just bought a huge bottle of Magnesium Oxide from GNC. Was that a mistake?

Dear Jayme,

Magnesium oxide is probably the least utilizable form of the mineral.

Much better would be an amino acid chelate of magnesium. But may I

suggest taking your magnesium in combination with calcium and other

nutrients, because they all tend to work together as a team to promote

health. The best such combination that I have found is a

multivitamin/mineral formulation called Vital Force. For information

about this product, visit

Dudley,

I checked out Vital Force, and the price is very affordable. I'm planning to

use up my existing vitamins/minerals and try this - unless I can find

something even better, which at that price, I don't think I will. But I am

shopping around. I'll be glad when this initial phase of treating MS becomes

just routine! There's so much to learn.

Thanks for the info,

Jayme

Hi Tom,

The webiste offers no label description. Thanks.

Yes, Treva, Vital Force is a multivitamin/mineral formulation that

contains calcium, magnesium, and most of the other vitamins and minerals

that are important in human nutrition.

Hi Treva,

The one I take is from Mannatech, the one Dudley recommends is cheaper

but I could not find the complete ingredient list so don't know what the

quality is like. I normally don't take separate calcium and mag, but

recently just started to take some extra magnesium at night. It works

good but it has to be mixed with hot water which is not convenient for

me especially heading into summer when I am not thinking about drinking

hot liquids too much. I will possibly try the other one that Tom

suggested if I can see the full ingredients first. For me the biggest

thing I look for before buying anything is the companies standards. It

does not much matter what claims they make or what they say is in the

products or the price if everything is a lie.

Thanks Tom,

Sorry to be a pain but I have to know what I am going to order. I like

to research all ingredients in products to see whats actually in them. I

have researched some supplements that would just shock you, the UK has

several companies that use stuff that should be listed on the bottle as

poison in stead of health supplements.
