Transdermal Magnesium Therapy By Mark Sircus, AC, OMD – A Book Review
Mark Sircus begins his book with the proclamation, “The book you hold in your hands contains information that could literally save your life.” He then proceeds to introduce the importance of the role of magnesium in the health of the human body.
In the caveman period, calcium and magnesium were at a ratio of 1 to 1. Now, because the soil is no longer magnesium-rich and because the foods that contain magnesium are usually cooked or processed, the mineral is in short supply, and the ratio has become 6 to 1.
The disparity has led to many different and varied health issues because magnesium plays a role in most of human processes.Magnesium deficiencies are associated with conditions as varied and as simple as hangovers and wrinkles, and as severe as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Since there is nothing done in the human body that does not use energy, and since that energy cannot be made nor used without magnesium, people become patients suffering from PMS, Chronic Fatigue, low metabolism, painful and enlarged breasts, sinus problems, psoriasis, and heavy metal toxicity.Deficiencies of magnesium are involved with deficiency of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and E, and with the body’s inability to make or use protein.
Among other signs, magnesium deficiency might be suspected when someone is restless, can’t sit still, body rocking, grinding teeth, noise sensitivity, poor attention span, poor concentration, irritability, aggressiveness, ready-to-explode anger, a variety of psychological symptoms, as well as depression.
Lack of the mineral has also been connected with Parkinson’s disease, MS, and Alzheimer’s disease.
A quick look at some general uses of magnesium includes the following: SKIN-sprayed on, the skin will begin to rejuvenate; on the hair, new growth. TEETH-use as mouthwash to strengthen teeth and for gingivitis.
MUCUS MEMBRANES-use low concentrations for nose and eye washes (half water, half magnesium): when spayed into the vagina or on the sexual organs, it may stimulate desire.
GENERAL TONIC-essential for life, it participates in over 325 enzyme reactions, giving more energy, strength and endurance, as well as increased sexual energy.
SPORTS-may be the most important mineral for sports nutrition, helping to fight fatigue, heat exhaustion, blood sugar control and metabolism. It may make the difference between winning and losing. The loss of magnesium through sweat and urine during heavy exertion may account for the number of athletes who have congestive heart failure and those long distant runners who suddenly drop dead with heart arrhythmias.
PAIN RELIEF-use for all aches and pains.
NATURAL IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER
MEMORY AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION-may improve cognitive functions particularly of children and the elderly.
DHEA has been called the “Fountain of Youth: however,” the synthetic product is dangerous to health and can lead to cancer, heart disease, etc. Fortunately, the use of magnesium chloride applied to the skin will gradually increase DHEA in a natural way. (Some women have even reported a complete abatement of the symptoms of menopause.)
Magnesium is essential to health. “Five minutes without air spells doom. Deficient daily magnesium intake means serious trouble and speaks of disease when uncorrected. It means premature aging, declining fertility and sexual potency and ability to conceive new life.” It means more pain than you want to feel and the potential of dropping dead after strenuous exercise or becoming a long-term victim of diabetes or heart disease or cancer.
The book also includes sources for the Ocean-Derived Magnesium Oil, the ideal transdermal supply.
There is a Magnesium Deficiency Questionnaire that you can take to determine if you are part of the estimated 68% to 80% of the people who are currently magnesium deficient.
A sampling of questions follows
Under excess emotional stress?
Irritable, or easily provoked?
Have you ever had a kidney stone?
Do you have more than 7 alcohol drinks a week?
Do you have more than 3 caffeine drinks a day?
Take calcium supplements regularly without magnesium?
After you have completed the questionnaire, you will be in a good position to know whether you are magnesium-rich or magnesium-poor. If your results are poor, it is easily remedied, and you will very quickly find your hearth improving.
Without a doubt, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy covers the complete range of magnesium’s usage and the problems that arise as a result of its deficiency. It is written with insight and passion. You walk away from this book with important knowledge and respect for the author and his research. It is a real contribution to the field of health.
