I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to see your post about magnesium! I, too, had some anxiety issues, palpitations, shaking, involuntary eye movement. It was bad and came on overnight. I did so much reaearch it was crazy, and ended up with the same conclusion.....magnesium deficiency. Started taking powered Natural Calm magnesium every day and ALL the symptoms stopped immediately. I preach about it to everyone I know. I buy bottles for friends with all kinds of issues from migraines, to insomnia, to severe stomach issues and beyond. So many people are shocked to see their symptoms literally stop in their tracks. Magnesium needs to be in every single cell of our bodies and most people are deficient, It should be a daily regiment for everyone. It makes me so angry that doctors aren’t screaming about it from the rooftops for all their patients! PREACH IT!
Well I’m grateful that others get it! It is so important to understand the huge benefits of mag and so many people are suffering from things that they would not be suffering from but for mag.... Glad you’re feeling better!
I agree about supplementing with Magnesium. I homeschooled my children until high school and had the opportunity to notice and work with behaviors as they presented themselves because I was there to see it. I remember vividly watching my calm 4 yr old son turn into a screaming and crying out of control kid one afternoon. I quickly traced back his diet that day and realized a friend had come to play and his mom packed red pouch drinks for both kids. The Red dye #40 literally made him out of control. A couple of months later my brother gave him a sports drink with red dye and it happened all over. Now that he is a teen he always looks for drinks and food without food dyes.
I learned a lot from Spacejunkie....I started taking iodine, magnesium and a whole bunch of other stuff. I have been trying to convince EVERYONE to check their minerals. I have taken epsom salts to relatives and tried to force them to use them. One good source of info about iodine is www.breastcancerchoices.org Interesting stuff there for women!
My daughter wouldn’t listen and finally had to have weekly infusions of vitamins and minerals because she has an auto-immune issue so can’t absorb through intestine. But I think the epsom sales would have helped.
