I take Milk of Magnesia about once a month just for the magnesium
There was a recording going around a few years back called “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie” that had a lot of quite interesting information by a medical doctor who was ALSO a veterinarian.
He pointed out that they give cows and other livestock many vitamins and minerals to keep them healthy because they are a PRODUCT -and if they get sick, they lose money.
So he compared preventative measures for animals to things that were similar in humans and started taking vitamins and minerals on a prevatative basis, similar to how they do for livestock.
For example, Magnesium is regularly given to cows and I thought it had somethign to do with digestion and preventing ulcers and stuff but I may be wrong- and so he started taking magnesium (Milk of Magnesia) and his problems cleared up... there were other good examples.
So... it seemed like good advice, but many medical doctors panned it (i can’t imagine what they found fault with)
Doctors generally take few courses in nutrition.
If they did, they would understand more of what's going on.
They talk about a "balanced diet" not really knowing why or what.
SO!!
We, as humans, as animals, have blood. Our blood is red when oxygenated.
It is red because of Hemoglobin, a carbon based chemical ring with an iron atom in the middle.
Plans are not animals, well, they are plants, and they are green, not red.
They are green because there is a carbon based chemical ring in their leaves that does the photosynthesis thing.
That carbon based ring IS ALMOST EXACTLY like the hemoglobin in humans, but with one very, very important difference.
The atom in the center is not iron. It is magnesium.
Part of the circle/cycle of life.
Beautiful, eh?
