AJIT VADAKAYIL

It was about Calcium and Magnesium ratio balancing which I shall explain in great detail in
this post.
In Ayurveda, they balance Kapha, Pitta and Vata.
The internet is fulled with thousands of such posts --all of them bull. Even Ayurvedic doctors
got them wrong.
They give all sorts of weird high tech explanations like Potential and Kinetic energy
balancing, balancing water, fire, earth , air-- BLAH BLAH.
Bullshit of the first order.
I am sure people like Deepak Chopra ( who has made moolah out of all this ) must be
involved in such TRIDOSHA mysticism--and converted ancient Kerala Maharshi wisdom
into rocket science of Isaac Newton..
In my language Malayalam and in Sanskrit Kapha, Pitta and Vata means the same. Kapha is
mucous , Pitta is bile and Vata means vayu or fart ( flatulence ).
Malayalam is the closest language in the world to Sanskrit. High literature Malayalam is
indeed almost Sanskritthe reason why Sanskrit in school for me was a piece of cake..
What I mention in this post will save people from deaths, agony and giving their bank
balance to doctors, so that they can buy expensive yachts and condominiums-- and laugh all
the way to the bank..

Since the past 9000 years Hindus knew that the fortnightly cycle of the moon exerts
profound influence on the human anatomy just as it affects the water bodies on earth resulting
in high and low tides.
Most Hindus observe fast on Purnima, the full moon day . Only after a whole day of fasting,
prayers and a dip in the river do they take light vegetarian food rich in Magnesium at dusk .
It is ideal to fast on full moon and new moon days ( Amavasya ) as it reduces the acidic
content in our system, slows down the metabolic rates, increases endurance. This restores the
body and mind balance. Praying helps in centering your body, mind and soul.
It is better NOT to use energy for digestion during this particular 24 hours. The high energy
of the full moon gives the body a chance to do deep cleansing.
During the Amavasya there are many more negative ions in the atmosphere, which is good
for neutralizing free radicals . Some people again choose to fast on new moon day to allow
the body as much energy as possible to deep cleanse.

The moon has great affinity for sodium.

I am sure stupid Darwin and his monkey gang did NOT
put sodium in the oceans.
At a macro level the rivers and estuaries are flushed by
sodium laden sea water at every high tide.
What happens at a micro level is the scope of this post.
The 4 electrolytes sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium form a kind of dance over
24 hrs called the day-night shift. Magnesium and potassium live normally within the cell,
and sodium and calcium are found outside.

During the day sodium invades the cell, taking a hydrogen ion with it, which is acidifying. In
order to buffer this acidity, which is toxic to the cell, calcium also moves in. This has the
effect of displacing potassium and magnesium which is shoved out of the cell.
At night due to the effect of the moon, the opposite takes place and potassium and
magnesium move back into the cell, pushing out the calcium and sodium, which takes the
hydrogen ion with it.
This has the effect of cleansing the cell, so you should wake up bright and refreshed. When
the body is not cleansing properly, this process is impaired and instead you wake up tired and
lethargic . There is a higher sodium content in the cell, therefore a higher hydrogen
(acidifying) content, and as water follows sodium in the body, the water content of the cell
starts to swell.
So the cell is under pressure from high acidity so it pulls in more calcium, which displaces
more magnesium causing an imbalance.
The moon-pull is much gentler than the sun-push. Only if conditions are right within the body
can the moon pull the sodium back across the cell membrane, thus making way for the
Magnesium to exert a gentle push with the potassium, so that they go back to their rightful
position, which is inside the cell.
There is another vicious cycle between dehydration and stress . Dehydration stresses the and
stress dehydrates the body.
As the body starts to feel dehydrated the integrity of the cell is threatened. In order to
preserve the cell the body puts cholesterol, a hard fatty substance, into the fluid cell
membrane to stabilise it and stop the cell collapsing and therefore dying.
This has the effect however of making it more difficult for things to move through the
membrane, so the acidity, excess sodium, water, hydrogen and calcium do not fully exit the
cell.

The deeper this picture, the more rigid the cell membrane becomes and the less the cellular
cleanse takes place and the more tired and generally unwell you feel. A clear marker of this
are elevated cholesterol levels in the blood. The rightful position of magnesium, along with
its partner potassium, is inside the cell not outside.
When the sodium goes inside the cell during the day it grabs an extra hydrogen ion. This
creates acidity within the cells. When the magnesium goes back inside the cells at night,
shoving out the sodium, it has an alkalizing effect.
This is a very important role that magnesium carries out inside the cell, completing the night
time cleanse, so that in the morning the person feels refreshed and the acidity levels have
been reduced greatly inside the cell.
Part of the cleansing process is to ensure that as the cell is rehydrated, the cholesterol coating
lessened, and the cell can start to clean house the toxins can be taken directly out of the
body. The cell puts toxins into the lymph, which transfers it to blood, which takes it to liver,
which processes it into bile, into the bowels and out.
If any part of this picture is not functioning properly you effectively have blocked plumbing,
with subsequent results of toxins backing up into the system.
What is lymph? Ayurveda knew it 6000 years ago, while modern science knew about it just
60 years back.

In the post above I narrate an incident where my feet were swollen, and my wife panicked
and wanted me to consult a doctor. I solved the problem by throwing away all our nice
Iodised salt in our kitchen , and buying natural fresh sea salt. Can any modern doctor ever
react this way?

Do any of the hotshot "no so bright" doctors ( who gave "donation" and bought medical
college seats) OR the "government sponsored" the SC/ ST quota ones, who pass after

can result in edema?

Excess iodized salt intake causes additional pressure to form in the blood vessels, resulting in
fluid build up (edema), specifically in the legs but also causing baggy eyes. One of the
reasons of edema is is also caused by the body retaining fluid in order to dilute excess salt.
Sodium and calcium are responsible for the contraction of the muscles whilst potassium and
magnesium are responsible for the relaxation or extension process. So if people are tense,
this shows up in the muscles, and most particularly within the internal muscles such as those
in the digestive tract, the bowels, the urinary tract and in all of the lung activity.

This contraction and tightness is caused by magnesium not returning inside the cell during the
night, thus leaving the cells uncleansed and acidic and the muscles contracted. .
Calcium is the natural calmer. It is crucial that magnesium is in pushes out the calcium , to
create that calm, cleansed feeling .
Let me digress.
I am in a frisky mood now. I hope my wife does NOT see this para and kick mE ass.

Indian spices have always been in great demand, by the rest of the world not just for the
divine taste they generate , but also to counteract the production of intestinal gas, most

Bile is necessary for fat digestion but also is important in neutralizing the acid contents of our
stomach as they empty into our delicate intestinal tract. Without this chemical modification
the strong acids can damage the intestinal tract and compromise absorption of all nutrients
and lead to ulceration of the first part of the small intestine..

Bile is a bitter-tasting, greenish brown fluid, produced by the liver that aids the process of
digestion of lipids in the small intestine . Bile is alkaline and also has the function of
neutralizing any excess stomach acid before it enters the duodenum, the first section of the
small intestine. Bile salts also act as bactericides, destroying many of the unfriendly microbes
that may be present in the food.
Mucous is a slippery lubricant secretion of the lining of various membranes in the body . It is
also the sticky, gooey fluid secreted by the mucous membranes and glands . The secreted
mucus traps the pathogens in the body, preventing any further activities of diseases.

Flatulent gas is build up by indigestion and eating unsuitable food.

Rice is easily digestible the only

starch that does not cause gas.

The history of wheat parallels the history of chronic disease and obesity across the world, due
to hard to digest and hyper-inflammatory Gluten. Gluten is that sticky protein in wheat that
holds bread together and makes it rise.

New modern GM hybrid wheat may look like wheat, but it is different in three important
ways that all drive obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia and more. Instead of
giving Nobel prize to the man who made GM wheat , contains very high levels of a super
starch called amylopectin A- he should have been incarcerated or shot for crime against
humanity..

Two slices of whole wheat bread now raise your blood sugar more than two tablespoons of
table sugar. There is no difference between whole wheat ( atta ) and white flour (maida )
here. Such GM hybrid wheat with a high glycemic index make people store belly fat, trigger
hidden fires of inflammation in the body and give you a fatty liver, leading the whole cascade
of obesity, pre-diabetes and diabetes.

Gluten in wheat is linked to autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, autism, schizophrenia,

dementia, digestive disorders, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes, cancer and more. Gluten
triggers inflammation that spreads like a fire throughout your whole body. It damages the gut
lining.

Then all the bugs and partially-digested food particles inside your intestine get across the gut
barrier and are exposed your immune system, 60 percent of which lies right under the surface
of the one cell thick layer of cells lining your gut or small intestine. If you spread out the
lining of your gut, it would equal the surface area of a tennis court.
Your immune system starts attacking these foreign proteins, leading to systemic inflammation
that then causes heart disease, dementia, cancer, diabetes and more. Our immune system
reacts as if gluten was something foreign, and sets off the fires of inflammation in an attempt
to eliminate it.
However, this inflammation is not selective, so it begins to attack our cells -- leading to
diabesity and other inflammatory diseases. GM wheat contain super starch and super gluten -making it super fattening and super inflammatory -- but it also contains a super drug that
makes you crazy, hungry and addicted.
You can trace almost every ailment, every sickness, and every disease to a diet imbalance
Charaka Samhita - Ayurveda 4200 BC.

Unlike western medicince Ayurveda treats the root cause of illness, rather than just treating
external symptoms, recognizing that a symptom is an external manifestation of a deeper
imbalance. Ayurveda truly uses the principle of prevention is better than cure.
The ancient Indian Maharishis did NOT drink cows milk at a skewed Calcium Magnesium
ration of 1:10. Rather they made curd ( yoghurt ) or boiled the milk in Cinnamon and other
spices rich in Magnesium.
Probiotic yoghurt reduces flatulence and restore balance to the normal intestinal flora or
friendly bacteria. Fermentation occurs when unabsorbed food residues like beef, pork fat etc
arrives in the colon. Therefore, even more than the composition of the microbiota, diet is the
primary factor which dictates the volume of flatus produced.

Gastric acid ( pH 1.5- 2.5 ) is produced by cells lining the stomach, which are coupled to
systems to increase acid production when needed. Other cells in the stomach produce
bicarbonate, a base, to buffer the fluid, ensuring that it does not become too acidic. These
cells also produce mucus, which forms a viscous physical barrier to prevent gastric acid from
damaging the stomach. Cells in the beginning of the small intestine, or duodenum, further
produce large amounts of bicarbonate to completely neutralize any gastric acid that passes
further down into the digestive tract.
Like Hydrogen Sulphide, Nitric Oxide is a bio signaler, as written in the Indian Vedas 7000
years ago. Pranayama boost Nitric oxide levels . The HUMM of the Hindu king Mantra
OM triggers production of the Nitric oxide molecule. Modern science came to know Nitric
oxide molecule , which was known by Hindu seers 11000 years ago, only a few years ago.
In 1998, three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their
work on nitric oxide.

During the full moon, there are more positive ions at the Earth's surface which creates stress.
An influx of positive ions causes blood to flow more slowly and so oxygen in the blood is not
carried to the muscles and brain as efficiently. During this time, there are many more
murders, more arrests, brawls, mood swings, arguments and much more violence than at any
other time in the month.
In India we traditionally plant crops around the time of the new moon. Negative ions create
less stress, more feelings of calm and less health problems, resulting in more balance and
harmony in the body. When there are more negative ions at the Earth's surface at the time of
the new moon, organic life flourishes and seedlings become stronger and they grow better.
All viruses have a positive dipole charge. Negative ions attached itself to it and enlarges the
virus. Viruses are so tiny that our lungs cant pull them out, unless they are enlarged.
Negative ions lower the blood pressure. It reduces allergy causes asthma. Negative ions in
the blood stream accelerate the delivery of blood to the cells.
Free radicals are atoms with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration.
These unpaired electrons are usually highly reactive.
Free radical damage within cells has been linked to a range of disorders including cancer,
arthritis,
atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Cell suicide, or apoptosis. Free radicals are very
unstable and react quickly with other compounds, trying to capture the needed electron to
gain stability.

Generally, free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule, "stealing" its electron. When the
"attacked" molecule loses its electron, it becomes a free radical itself, beginning a chain
reaction. Once the process is started, it can cascade, finally resulting in the disruption of a
living cell.

All major influenza outbreaks had coincided with sunspot maxima because of its magnetic
energy fields. During times of sunspot maxima, the solar wind of charged particles is much
greater, which causes distortions in the Earth's own magnetic field. These changes can
weaken our body's immunity levels, leaving us more vulnerable to infection.
The earth's surface has a negative electrical charge which becomes a constant source of free
electrons for our body. These free electrons neutralize the positively charged free radicals that
are largely responsible for the present epidemic of inflammation and inflammatory diseases

We are all giant batteries that run on electricity. The source of that electricity are minerals,
especially the four key electrolytes: calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

Sodium is the fluidity element. It keeps our joints and ligaments supple and prevents
arthritis. Sodium keeps calcium and magnesium in solution in your system. It provides nerve
balance as part of an immensely sensitive and complicated
Sodium/Potassium/Magnesium/Calcium homeostatic feedback mechanism.
Sodium and potassium are essential dietary minerals and electrolytes. They dissociate into
ions (charged particles) in solution, making them capable of conducting electricity. Normal
body functioning depends on the right regulation of sodium and potassium both inside and
outside of cells.
Sodium is the principal ion in the fluid outside of cells, while potassium is the principal ion in
the fluid inside of cells. Sodium concentrations are more than ten times lower inside than
outside cells, and potassium concentrations are about 30 times higher inside than outside
cells.

The concentration differences between potassium and sodium across cell membranes create
an electrochemical gradient known as the membrane potential. A large portion of energy in
the body is dedicated to maintaining sodium/potassium concentration gradients, underscoring
the importance of the balance between sodium and potassium in sustaining life.
Tight control of cell membrane potential is critical for heart function, as well as nerve
impulse transmission and muscle contraction. Sodium concentration in plasma modulates the
volume of water retained in the blood, and therefore the "pressure" on the membrane walls,
known as blood pressure.

Sodium is essential to maintain the water distribution in the body (or water balance) and to
maintain a stable level of blood pressure. Sodium allows muscle contraction. It is essential
to ensure the transmission of the nervous influx to the cell membranes and muscle
contraction, called the muscle function. The sodium concentration outside the cells is tightly
regulated by renal function.

Because the sodium outside the cells tends to migrate inside the cells, a sodium potassium
pump exists at the cell membranes to hold permanently the sodium concentration outside the
cell. Sodium is only half of the story. Every mineral in the body is supposed to be balanced
by at least one other.
Sodium must be balanced with potassium. When sodium and potassium are properly
balanced in the body, sodium will not raise blood pressure.

Potassium is absolutely essential for the tonicity of the heart muscle tissue.

Potassium

is sodiums partner . The Sodium -Potassium pump maintains electrolyte gradient in the 100
trillion cells. Potassium is the mineral that gets things moving.

Potassium is known as an anion when it is broken down because it has more electrons than
protons and carries a negative charge. Sodium is known as a cation because it has more
protons than electrons and carries a positive charge.
When there is ample potassium inside of your cells and sodium outside of your cells, proper
cell signaling from your nervous system can take place. Magnesium plays a large role in the
utilization of potassium; it modulates a primary potassium transport system in and out of
individual cells, and is crucial in preventing intracellular potassium loss.
Magnesium provides for optimum utilization of potassium and protects stores of potassium
from depletion. Magnesium is necessary for the function of the sodium/ potassium pump. If
a magnesium deficiency occurs, then pumping sodium out of the cell and pumping potassium
into the cell is impaired.
Prescription diuretics tend to deplete magnesium and potassium. In this situation, magnesium
intake can normalize both magnesium and potassium levels in the muscle . Potassium is
unable to cross the cell membrane on its own, and requires magnesium to unlock the door for
its entrance.
Once the cell membrane is open, the cell can absorb all of the potassium it needs for a proper
balance. This process of achieving sodium and potassium balance accounts for 20 to 40

percent of the resting energy your body expends, demonstrating how crucial it is to healthy
body function.
Warning symptoms of potassium deficiency include abnormally dry skin, acne, chills,
cognitive impairment, constipation, depression, diarrhea, diminished reflexes, edema,
nervousness, excessive thirst, glucose intolerance, growth impairment, hypoglycemia, high
cholesterol levels, insomnia, low blood pressure, muscular fatigue, headaches, salt retention
and hypersensitivity to salt, and respiratory distress. Hormone fluctuation may also result in
reduced levels of potassium.
When you cut your sodium intake, your body will quickly compensate by holding more
sodium in and releasing potassium out thereby decreasing fluid inside the muscle cell. When
you increase your sodium intake your body will compensate by holding more potassium in
(increasing intra-muscular fluid) and increasing the excretion of sodium. Ions are transported
so rapidly in our body that the nerve cells carry messages to any point in the body in as little
as 1/1000th of a second.

Magnesium deficiency will always be followed by potassium deficiency secondarily and

because potassium and magnesium are the most important intracellular cations-- potassium
and magnesium deficiency first of all is a deficiency of the cell. Cucumbers are rich in
potassium help control fluid balance within and outside our cells. Potassium works in
sodium-potassium pumps in cell walls which control intake of nutrients and excretion of
cellular metabolic wastes.
This is a critical process for those suffering the imbalance that leads to cancer cell
overgrowth. . Potassium is also critical in transmitting electrical energy throughout our
nervous system. Sodium and potassium are both minerals essential to water balance and
healthy nerve function. High sodium levels and low potassium intake leads to high blood
pressure and heart disease. Use of diuretics or laxatives lowers potassium levels.
Caffeine, tobacco and heavy sugar consumption reduce potassium absorption. Mental and
physical stress can also lead to low potassium levels. Potassium is alkaline and constitutes
5% of the total mineral content of your body. Its easily absorbed, but almost 90% of it is
excreted through the kidneys. Its also vital in the elimination of body wastes. Potassium will
also be lost from cellular spaces if an excessive loss of sodium occurs, and a magnesium
deficiency contributes to potassium loss.
Potassium depletion can cause problems within your body and lead to symptoms such as:
Fatigue
Dry skin
Muscle weakness
Slow reflexes
If these symptoms are ignored, potassium depletion can lead to heart problems.

Calcium is essential for the flow of electrical energy throughout the body.

It is a muscle

constrictor. Ionic ( the form in natural salt) calcium is one of the most important transfer
agents for bringing nutrients into the cell. Calcium is pro-inflammatory. However calcium is
regulated and controlled by magnesium.
Calcium represents structure, compressive strength, and stability in the body. Calcium is also
a buffer element and a damper. It is very alkaline-forming in most compounds. . Calcium is
found mainly outside of the cells. Calcium is constipating.
Calcium is hydrophobic, while magnesium is hydrophilic ( loves water ). Calcium is required
for nerve conduction and relaxes the muscles. Calcium and Magnesium act together to help
regulate the body's nerve and muscle tone.
In many nerve cells, magnesium serves as a chemical gate blocker - as long as there is
enough magnesium around, calcium can't rush into the nerve cell and activate the nerve. This
gate blocking by magnesium helps keep the nerve relaxed.
Calcium promotes blood coagulation , while magnesium inhibits it. If you take high amounts
of calcium daily, you may have a magnesium deficiency. Calcium and magnesium compete

for the same absorption channels, so too much of one will preclude the other from being
properly absorbed.

The total calcium content of cows milk is high, but the acidic nature of milk may not lend
itself to proper calcium assimilation. Like I said before cows milk has a Calcium
Magnesium ratio of 10:1. Too much cows milk will lower magnesium levels . The correct
balance of calcium and magnesium can rectify osteoporosis, heart disease, blood pressure,
depression, and anxiety.
High calcium intake blocks magnesium absorption. Magnesium is needed to
carry calcium into your bones. Calcium causes contraction in skeletal muscle
fibers, and magnesium causes relaxation. When there is too much calcium and
insufficient magnesium inside a cell, you can get sustained muscle contraction:
twitches, spasms and even convulsions.

Smooth muscles directed by too much calcium and insufficient magnesium can tighten the
bronchial tract, causing asthma; cause cramping in the uterus and painful periods; and cause
spasms in blood vessels, resulting in hypertension. Calcium and magnesium work so closely
together that the lack of magnesium immediately diminishes the effectiveness of

calcium. Adequate levels of magnesium are essential for the absorption and metabolism of
calcium.

Magnesium relaxes you, helps improve digestion, increases alkalinity of the blood and
flexibility of the tissues. It is a muscle relaxant.

Magnesium is found in greater quantity inside the cells. Magnesium is critical for the
assimilation of calcium into the bones and is crucial for regular heart function.
Its deficiency lead to constipation. Magnesium is anti-inflammatory and a de-toxifier.
Magnesium is the master molecule of the human body and is needed in over 300 different
process the body performs. It is the catalyst of life.

Magnesium is vital for the absorption of calcium into our bones. Lack of Magnesium
impacts our cells efficiency and duration of its useful life. The main reason for magnesium
deficiency in the human body is stress, as stress causes Magnesium to be flushed out through
the urine or bowels .
Deficiency of magnesium causes the body to accumulate toxins, degenerate quickly and
premature aging leading to a host of other diseases. Optimum daily amount of Magnesium is
700 mg per day. Low magnesium intake is associated with muscle spasm, tremors and
convulsions. Athletes use magnesium to increase energy and endurance.

Magnesium plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. It also

influences the release and activity of insulin, the hormone that helps control
blood glucose (sugar) levels. Low blood levels of magnesium (hypomagnesemia)
are frequently seen in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

If there is not enough magnesium to do this job, both insulin and glucose become elevated.
The excess glucose gets stored as fat and contributes to obesity.
Magnesium is essential for proper electrical and neurotransmitter function in the brain. It
help prevents cognitive decline and improve brain plasticity to better deal with stress and
anxiety. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. A diet with high
magnesium, potassium, and calcium, and low sodium and fat is ideal for lowering blood
pressure. Diuretics can cause Magnesium deficiency.

Coconut water is an excellent health drink. It has Calcium 2%, Magnesium 9%,
Potassium5%. Magnesium compounds keep calcium in solution. If you are
deficient in magnesium, you can get kidney or gall stones that contain insoluble
forms of calcium.

Calcium represents a congealing or cementing quality, while magnesium represents

dissolution or flexibility. Magnesium is a laxative.

Magnesium is involved in nerve and muscle function. Magnesium deficiency can trigger
muscle tension, muscle soreness, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, and muscle fatigue.
Magnesium activates the enzymes necessary for a number of physiological functions,
including neuromuscular contractions, heart and cardiovascular function, and the regulation
of the acid-alkaline balance in the body.

It is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats; also for energy
production, and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. Magnesium
helps utilize B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
Magnesium absorption when ingested is carrier-mediated and is influenced by transit time
through the gut, dietary intake of magnesium, and the amounts of phosphorous and calcium
in the diet These minerals compete for absorption sites in the intestinal mucosa. Excess
magnesium that is not deposited in bone or retained in tissue is excreted through the urine.

Alcoholism, renal disease, diabetes mellitus may all cause a magnesium deficiency to occur.
Magnesium helps blood pressure become and stay regulated, reduces the formation of plaque
in arteries, and reduces spasms. Magnesium prevents excessive amounts of calcium from
damaging heart cells.
It also dilates your arteries, allowing better blood flow. Depression and anxiety can begin
with an imbalance of calcium and magnesium. Too much calcium can contribute to
depression and irritability, whereas magnesium helps your brain make the calming chemical
called dopamine.
Magnesium, not calcium, is the mineral that calms your emotions as well as your muscles.
Serotonin is a natural antidepressant, but your brain needs magnesium in order to make
serotonin. Low serotonin production can cause a number of symptoms including depression,
obsessive thinking, and anxiety. When you're under stress your body loses more magnesium
than usual.
Stress causes your adrenal glands to produce more adrenaline and other hormones, like
cortisol, causing more magnesium excretion. When your magnesium is low, your adrenal
glands produce still more cortisol, which in turn decreases your levels of DHEA, -- an antiaging hormone .

Stress causes fatty acids to be released in your body and attach themselves to magnesium,
which makes it more difficult for magnesium to be absorbed. Magnesium regulates the
enzyme that makes cholesterol. The body makes cholesterol for a reason. All steroid
hormones that run our bodies (stress hormones, sex hormones, and so forth) are ultimately
made from cholesterol.
Magnesium is essential for proper insulin levels. You cannot produce insulin, you
cannot secrete insulin, and your cells cannot recognize insulin without proper
levels of Magnesium. An imbalance of too much Calcium and too little
magnesium causes depression. In USA the top 20 highest-selling drugs are
antidepressants ,which could be well solved with a proper diet and exercise ,
instead of continuing with junk food.

72% of Migraines are related Calcium magnesium imbalance. Magnesium is required for the
body to produce and store energy. Without magnesium there is no energy, no movement, no
life. It is that simple. Magnesium permits a small amount of calcium to enter a nerve cell,
just enough to allow electrical transmission along the nerves to and from the brain, then
forces it back outside. Even our thoughts, via brain neurons, are dependent on magnesium.

The heart is NOT an "organ," but is actually a "muscle." In fact, it's the hardest working
muscle in our body. Every 24 hours our hearts beat more than a lakh times and circulates
9000 litres of blood. The highest concentration of magnesium in our body is in the heart
ventricles, which are the muscles that "pump" all that blood.
Muscle energy in our body is solely in the form of Mg2-ATP (Magnesium-adenosine
triphosphate). Our heart cells (and every cell in our body) must have magnesium present in
plentiful amounts to create and metabolize the ATP necessary to run all of the cell's activities.
When electrolyte imbalance becomes great enough, the cell no longer has the ability to
produce ATP. ATP is primarily dependent on magnesium. So, cell death - cardiac necrosis is
the result of a systemic shortage of magnesium. Heart muscle cell death is followed by
inflammation in order to clean up the debris from dying cells followed by
fibrosis/calcification as the whole area contracts and scars down in order to isolate, repair and
minimize the damage.

Chronic stress causes magnesium loss, which then leads to cell death. The cellular influx of
excess, unregulated calcium accelerates this process. If magnesium isn't available, the
mineral ion channels in cells are left wide open and calcium floods in.
Any cell unable to create proper levels of energy becomes diseased and dies, and this is
especially true of heart muscles cells. "Stress," in all its many forms leads to magnesium use,
and if not curtailed, magnesium loss. An accelerated MBR (Magnesium Burn Rate) leads to
electrolyte dysfunction, which results in imbalances of our key minerals. The chronic loss of
magnesium leads to a relentless increase of sodium and calcium which ultimately becomes
the greatest form of cellular "Stress."
Unregulated calcium is bad for you. And how do we create a condition of calcium excess?
Human biochemistry strongly favors holding onto as much calcium as possible. However,
magnesium is flushed out through the urine or bowels when the body is under stress .
People with high calcium and low levels of magnesium can suffer sudden death heart attacks
due to electrical imbalance without having significant coronary artery calcification.

Excess calcium reduces magnesium. Calcium and magnesium work together in muscle
contraction and relaxation. If magnesium isn't available, the mineral ion channels in cells are
left wide open and calcium floods in leading to it's calcification. Loss of magnesium leads to
a relentless increase of sodium and calcium which ultimately becomes the greatest form of
cellular "Stress.
Dominance of calcium over magnesium produces symptoms of muscle spasm. Migraines,
eyelid twitch, heart flutters, back aches, premenstrual tension, leg cramps and constipation
are all linked to calcium overload. Excessive calcium may also result in kidney stones and
heart valve calcifications. Therefore, the ratio of calcium to magnesium has to be 1:1, as
compared with a 15:1 ratio in present-day diets.
On an ongoing basis the cells in our body become old, die and are replaced with new cells. In
a diet lacking essential minerals and vitamins, molecules in the body lose electrons and
become free radicals. These free radicals attack healthy cells to take back electrons damaging

even more cells. As the cells efficiency degenerates in long term, the genetic material in the
cell gets damaged or changes, its processes go wrong and produce mutations.
Magnesium deficiency can lead directly to cancer. While calcium is not used in many
enzymes in the body, magnesium is a component of thousands of enzyme. Magnesium is
essential for thousands of enzymes in the body and may be said to represent enzyme strength,
while calcium represents structural strength or bone strength. .
In electrical terms, calcium represents a compressive pressure or voltage. Magnesium is
tensive and more about amperage or intensity. Ohms law and Joules law apply here. For
example, Joules law states that voltage multiplied by amps = power or watts.
Both Calcium and Magnesium are divalent cations, both form hard compounds, and both
have a mainly calming effect on the body, although magnesium is needed for energy
production, as well. The calcium magnesium ratio, reveals the physical, mental, emotional
and other aspects of a person all at once.
With a high ratio, calcium, the cement-like mineral, is more dominant. This is associated
with a kind of defensiveness. When the ratio is low, the opposite can be true, and a person
often demonstrates less defensiveness.
Calcium and magnesium are more structural elements, particularly calcium. In contrast,
sodium and potassium are the bodys internal regulators. They are more responsible for the
biochemical balance, than are calcium and magnesium.
Both calcium and magnesium are deficient in most diets today, and this is due to food
refining in many cases. The refining of grains removes some of their magnesium, and
pasteurizing dairy products reduces the bioavailability of calcium in these products.
Stress causes the body to produce adrenaline which in turn raises blood sugar as part of the
"fight or flight" response. The sugar is meant to provide energy for the muscles, but in our
modern world stress rarely results in muscular exertion so the sugar remains in the blood. The
pancreas then produces more insulin to normalize blood sugar. The end result of chronic
stress is exhausted adrenal glands and an exhausted pancreas.

A healthy cell has a beautiful, fluid phospholipids membrane around it which allow nutrients,
electrolytes and waste matter to move freely in and out of the cell. The core of this healing in
terms of sodium/potassium and calcium/magnesium balances is all about energy. Our polarity
gives us life - it is an electrical charge, an electrical current.
You can take this polarity right down to its expression at cellular level. Minerals have
different charges and the polarity is a function of the interaction between the four
electrolytes: sodium and potassium (male and female) and between calcium (male charge,
like sodium) and magnesium (female charge, like potassium).
Vertigo is caused by calcium carbonate crystals forming in the inner ear. Minerals come out
of solution when there is not enough liquid to keep them dissolved. There is not enough
liquid because the body's cells are not retaining water properly. Magnesium regulates water in
cells. To cure vertigo, drink more water and take magnesium.

In Ayurveda we just drink coconut water for vertigo. The balancing mechanism in your ears is
like the power steering system in your car. It relies on fluid. When you have vertigo, you have
a "leak" in your "power steering system". You need to replenish the fluids in it. You can't pour

water into the inner ear like you can your car, so you have to re-hydrate or over-hydrate every
cell in your body to get the extra fluid up to your ears.
Since 99% of magnesium resides inside living cells, blood serum levels are not a good
indicator of magnesium deficiency. Ionized magnesium testing is the only effective way of
diagnosing accurate magnesium levels in the body.
A hormone produced in the adrenal glands, aldosterone, plays a role in stimulating the
kidneys retention of sodium.
The adrenal glands also produce a stress hormone, cortisol. The area of the brain that
recognizes stress is not very sophisticated. It knows only one of two things. Either youre
sitting in peace or a black mamba is chasing you.
Exercising, riding a roller coaster, being happy, being sad or anytime you are not relaxed is
interpreted as stress. This will trigger a chain reaction that will increase cortisol. That same
chain reaction will cause a slight increase in aldosterone. The increased aldosterone retains
more sodium and dumps more potassium. Sodium will increase the retention of water. The
net result is an increase in blood pressure.

By, the way, beer has plenty of Magnesium and Potassium.

This post is getting too long. I will post on beer , as a
health drink, later.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database, one
12-ounce ( 355 ML or CC ) serving of regular beer has the following nutrients:
Calcium: 14 mg
Magnesium: 21 mg
Potassium: 96 mg
Sodium: 14 mg
