Magnesium Water: From Wheat Belly Total Health

The recipes in Wheat Belly Total Health are not conventional recipes, such as those for soups or entrees; they are functional recipes that provide some specific health benefit, from electrolyte restoration to bowel flora cultivation. Here, I reproduce the recipe for Magnesium Water, the best form of magnesium supplementation available that you cannot buy. While the best form of magnesium supplement is magnesium bicarbonate, in solid form is highly hygroscopic, or water-absorbent, such that it turns to a hard solid, then crumbles, in short order.

For this reason, no manufacturer will sell you a magnesium bicarbonate supplement. The Nutri-Spec Letter - Volume 19, Number 9. From: Guy R.

Calcium and Disease: Hypertension, organ calcification, & shock, vs. respiratory energy. Calcium and Disease: Hypertension, organ calcification, & shock, vs. respiratory energy SOME CONTEXTS In biology and biochemistry, calcium is the substance most often studied, so it is significant that researchers still speak of a calcium paradox.

Calcium and Disease: Hypertension, organ calcification, & shock, vs. respiratory energy

There are several such paradoxes: As bones lose calcium, the soft tissues calcify; when less calcium is eaten, blood calcium may increase, along with calcium in many organs and tissues; if an organ such as the heart is deprived of calcium for a short time, its cells lose their ability to respond normally to calcium, and instead they take up a large, toxic amount of calcium.

Hypercupremia - High Copper.

Hypercupremia is a state of high copper within the body that alters our biochemistry in such a prominent way, increasing the likelihood of neurological/behavioural alterations and mental illness.

Hypercupremia - High Copper

It can be caused by congenital (copper transfer from mother to baby via placenta), genetic and environmental factors. Genetic alterations result in improper functioning of the metallothionein protein (copper binding protein), with an inabilty of the body to control copper metabolism. The genetically determined condition, Pyroluria, also results in high copper levels, as large quantities of zinc are depleted from the body. Furthermore, xeno-oestrogens, hormone therapy (oestrogen dominance), water supply, cigarette smoking, long term stress (adrenal insufficiency) and nutritional imbalance (Zinc deficiency) all contribute to high copper in the body.

When copper enters the liver, hepatic pathways transform copper into ceruloplasmin (a serum protein). Linus Pauling Institute.

The Great Fish Oil Experiment. The Great Fish Oil Experiment Reading medical journals and following the mass media, it's easy to get the idea that fish oil is something any sensible person should use. It's rare to see anything suggesting that it could be dangerous. During the recent years in which the U.S. government has gone from warning against the consumption of too much of these omega-3 oils ("to assure that the combined daily intake of two fatty acids that are components" "(i.e., eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) would not exceed 3 grams per person per day (g/p/d)") to sponsoring biased industry claims, there has been considerable accumulation of information about the dangers of fish oils and omega-3 fatty acids.

But there has been an even greater increase in the industry's promotional activities. The US government and the mass media selectively promote research that is favorable to the fish oil industry.

Study Suggests a Link Between Zinc and Anxiety By Greg Arnold, DC, CSCS, September 11, 2013, abstracted from “Decreased zinc and increased copper in individuals with anxiety” in the February 7, 2011 issue of Nutrition and Metabolic Insights Anxiety disorders are the most common class of psychiatric disorders in the US (1) and many other countries (2) yet frequently goes untreated (3). Anxiety is implicated in a number of psychiatric disorders, such as depression, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress disorder (4) and affects approximately 30% of the US population (5). All of this results in anxiety costing billions of dollars each year (6). Now a new study (7) suggests that zinc levels may play a role in anxiety. Compared to the control group, individuals with anxiety had 20.1% higher plasma levels of Cu (101.58 vs. 84.56 milligrams/deciliter, p = 0.0348), a 24.5% higher ratio of copper to zinc (1.42 vs. 1.14, p = 0.0493) and 15.1% lower zinc levels (74.47 vs. 87.69 mg/dL, p = 0.0294).

Metals on our Mind. © KURT DRUBBEL/ISTOCKPHOTO.COMMany people threw out their aluminum pots and pans in the 1960s and 1970s, when they heard that researchers had discovered small amounts of the metal in the sticky amyloid plaques that litter the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

While the notion that ingestion of aluminum products might contribute to the disease has since been discredited, evidence is accumulating that metals such as copper, zinc, and iron can play an important role in driving brain degeneration. These biologically active metals have been linked not only to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but also to Parkinson’s, motor neuron disease, and a group of childhood brain disorders called lysosomal storage diseases, among others.
