Dear Jane:
Interesting that you mentioned magnesium.
Several years ago I was suffering from an irregular heart beat. It got so bad I had to quit jogging; out of fear of harming myself.
I was listening to a doctor on TV, who mentioned that when heart attack patients come in in arrest one of the things they give them is magnesium to regulate the heart.
I thought, if a person in full arrest can be regulated by magnesium why not 'moi'. I was having a bad attack one morning and I thought to take some. I couldn't find anything in the house with magnesium in it so I think I mixed some epson salts in water and drank it( it's been a long time since college chemistry but I think epson salts is a magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate.) In five minutes my heart was beating regularly.
I bought a bottle of magnesium supplement the next day and take a 250 mg every day and have never had any trouble since. I think a bottle cost $3.50 and will last several months.
I did some research on magnesium and found that it is so water soluble that 99.9 % of it is in the ocean, not in the soil. Over the eons of time it has all washed into the ocean, so we only get a fraction of what we need in our diets, and the plants have adapted over the eons of time to grow where there are only traces of it in the soil; but our bodies need it desperately, to build strong bones, regulate all nerve impulses, brain chemistry, heart electrical activity, skin tone, etc.
Hopefuly someone with an irregular heart beat will read this and be blessed as I was. In Christ.gregor |
