Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Along these lines, I had a lab tech tell me she didn't know why but almost always alcoholics come up very magnesium deficient. All seems to go hand in hand. In fact, I do have to admit that I probably drank too much wine in my 20's. Was a workaholic who came home, did more work, and had rice and wine for dinner almost every night. Definitely set the stage within for problems I believe. Does anyone know the best way to test for mag. Hair or blood? Kari Duncan RE: Magnesium deficiency There is a genetically caused condition which ( can't remember source or name of condition; you probably know) causes malabsorption and/ or limited assimilation of magnesium. This same gene also makes an affected person susceptible to candidiasis . I've already suspected that my candidiasis was genetically related. When my father was the age I am now he had strange symptoms. He drank quite a bit, he was tested for diabetes because of his adverse reactions to sugar and alcohol, I believe one of his symptoms had to do with his heart so he had some tests on that too. He was unable to find a cause. In addition, My first cousin had severe acne over most of his body, antibiotics didn't help. He eventually became schizophrenic. Candida when it has spread to the brain is most often asymptomatic. Candida causes a magnesium deficiency on it's own partly due to the B-6 deficiency. A genetic magnesium deficiency compounded by a candida induced magnesium deficiency is probably the cause of my heart palpitations, since magnesium deficiency can cause abnormal heartbeat. Thanks Duncan, I think you may have filled in the missing piece to my puzzle and made the picture much clearer. I'll increase my magnesium supplementation and let you know how it works. Ron S.

Ron, There is research evidence that shows that there is no way to get therapeutic quantities of magnesium into you orally without causing diarrhea. The only effective way is through the skin - in a bath, footbath, or spray. There are several articles on this topic at www.twilightamerica.com (of course with a special magnesium source ...)

Hair or blood? > Kari According to literature published on magnesium, 80% of population is deficient. So you could be almost sure you are, too. You can do foot soaks with epsom salts, or for better results with magnesium chloride. See www.twilightamerica.com I mentioned earlier ... I have personally heard hundreds of happy stories from people who started using this simple remedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't handle yeast tablets - they're full of b-vitamins. Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
