Re: Magnesium / calcium / blood sugar

[Guest guest]

It does not mean you have too much calcium in your body. High hair

levels implies that your body is wasting it, so your probably low

instead. You have deranged minerals which means just that, the

results are deranged, and not reliable for measuring body burden.

The ca/mg balance is not crucial to blood sugar managment, it's just

an indicator of it. You can't improve the ratio until you remove the

metals. But anyone mercury toxic should take calcium and magnesium.

Almost none of us are too high in calcium.

Many of us have blood sugar issues also. It's due to a few things

that mercury does..one, it slows your adrenals. Which regulate blood

sugar. Two, it does stuff to your thyroid, and the rest of your

endocrine system. Treating your adrenals, and taking chromium

picolinate with every meal and before bed will help, while you

undergo chelation. Also, watching what you eat. Make sure to always

have protein with any carbs. No refined carbs either.

I would not use manganese unless you KNOW for a fact that you are

low in it. Please check Andy's book on using manganese. He does not

recomend it unless you meet certain symptoms or show clear

deficiency. Also, Vit K will help your body utilize calcium

properly..not lower it.

The chromium helps tremendously with managing this symptoms. But

essentially you need to treat the mercury issue. Also, some find

cinnamon extract helpful.

Calcium is required for the release of insulin from the pancreas.

Magnesium inhibits insulin secretion.

Some of Dr Eck/'s opinions difffer from Andy but the overall info is very

close.

Thanks Jan. I tried taking calcium and it made my blood sugar

problems a lot worse, so I stopped. This made me conclude that I

have a lot of calcium in my body, instead of in my bones, and it is

messing with insulin production. I have heard of people taking Epsom

Salt baths and getting massive blood sugar crashes, so I guess it

depends on whether you are high in magnesium or calcium.

I already do the small, frequent protein, low carb meals, and tried

chromium. Did nothing for me. In fact no supplement for blood sugar

has really made a difference, my adrenals are fully supported, and I

am pretty much there with my thyroid dose. I have a snack before

bed, and I have to eat something during the night also, to keep blood

sugar up. I have lost so much sleep due to this it is unreal.

I think the blood sugar thing will not resolve until the mercury is

gone, and the calcium level comes down. There has already been some

movement - my first hair analysis showed a ratio of 55 (!), post

amalgam removal this came down to 46. Still a way to go....
