Perhaps you think I’m joking. Not at all. Whales are constantly immersed in seawater which contains 1300 ppm, second only to sodium at 11,000ppm. By the way, calcium is only present in 400ppm. That’s one of the many reasons why I would like people to take more magnesium than calcium.

But I stared this post to tell you about my whale watching adventure last week with Blue Water Rafting in a very tiny boat holding about 18 people, including my friend Kelly. The whales were everywhere, beside us, around us and under us in great pods of males fighting for the attention of several females. In retrospect it was probably scary but I was too excited to notice.

However, when I went for a swim later that day, both my feet cramped up. For me, a sure sign of magnesium deficiency. Then I realized that the stress of my morning adventure had burned up my magnesium. So, just a heads up for you folks who are under stress that you may want to stock up on magnesium.

Here are some recent magnesium miracles I want to share with you.

1. A manager of a big natural products store said that he had personally watched three fellow employees get off a lifetime of medications merely by addressing their magnesium deficiency using Natural Calm.

2. On Facebook, someone gave a testimonial about magnesium and specifically Natural Clam. “I love Calm because I have Lyme Disease, which causes magnesium depletion, and it has helped me to manage my symptoms such as heart palpitations and muscle spasms. I agree with another comment that was left about how I can notice a difference very soon after taking it. Last night my father-in-law, who just had surgery to remove his kidney due to cancer, went in to tachycardia. My husband gave him some calm and within 2 minutes his heart was back to normal.”

3. A woman wrote that she had a migraine for 4 days, and took every pill she could get her hands on. Nothing was working… then she went into work and a coworker suggested she try Natural Calm. She went to the health food store, bought the raspberry lemon flavor, and within 45 minutes of drinking it, her migraine was GONE! Needless to say, she was very impressed.

4. And here’s a very interesting testimonial from a woman with nerve pain.
“The other night, while I was sleeping, my inside ankle bone began having electric shocks, strong enough to wake me up and keep me up all night. I kept trying to change my position, but nothing helped. I put Blue Stuff on, nothing, then DMSO, nothing. I just kept shocking all the next day when I had an appointment with my Naprapath and he couldn’t figure out what was causing it. He even tried cold laser…nothing helped. Later that evening I decided to try magnesium oil. I sprayed some on, rubbed it in. I had a few more twinges that got lighter and lighter, then it stopped altogether. It’s been 3 days now. Miraculous Magnesium. I am still walking around with my little spray bottle of magnesium oil, just in case.”

About the Button contest…More people chose the Green button and those who chose the White often said that it was easier to read than the Green. So, I alerted OrganizedWisdom.com and told them to sharpen up their images. Until they do, I’ll just keep both buttons on my blogs! Cause I can!!

I know I just did a post yesterday and I don’t like to overload you with emails but today I’m excited because I’ve just got a new button to put on my blogs. Actually, I’m more excited because I figured out how to use it! The button is from a new website called Organized Wisdom where I’m able to display my Health Library which has about 200 resources listed so far.

Now, here’s where I want your help. Below you will see two buttons from Organized Wisdom. One with a green background and one with a white background and I want to know which one you like best. I can’t decide.

Also, I want to introduce you to a new friend, Morley Robbins, who is a magnesium fan/atic! He was a hospital executive for over 30 years and he’s repenting now and will be doing payback for the next 30 years.

Morley learned how to make people sick and he’s going to let you in on the secret to a short lifespan in this article Let’s Get Sick in 10 Easy Steps. Yes, Morley is an unlicensed comedian and knows that “when you’re laughin’ you’re learnin’. Morley is a certified Magnesium Man and starts his article with a quote “Without enough Magnesium, cells simply don’t work.”

You can find out more about Morley at Nexus Whole Health in Evanston, Ilinois.

I’ll be meeting up with him at the Long Beach, Health Freedom Expo, March 2-4, 2012 where we are both speaking. By some miracle, Morley nabbed the magnesium lecture and my lecture is titled: Death by Modern Medicine: Detox and Rejuvenate Instead!

More Media: One of my 29 books is called 365 Ways to Boost Your Brain Power. It’s a great list of choices you have for a better brain. My friend, Dr. Don Wagner has interviewed me several times and the latest was on Jan 27th when we delved into Brain Boosters.

Allopathic medicine has finally found a cure for Austim! Read and Weep!

No, it’s not what we’d hoped for. Instead, the American Psychiatric Association is introducing a new definition for Autism that will eliminate many cases overnight.

This new definition will downplay the stats of 1 in 100 kids suffering Autism but it definitely won’t cure the condition. Also troubling is that many people will no longer qualify for special assistance programs that have been developed for Autism and which parents have fought long and hard for.

Of course, my question is, why spend all this time and money redefining the condition? Why not start treating it with therapies that work.

Whether Autism is caused, triggered or worsened by antibiotics, vaccines, junk food diet, toxicity and stress, the following is a short summary of remedies that work to alleviate this condition.

1. Avoid sugar, wheat, dairy.
2. Detox with clay and magnesium baths.
3. Take supplements, Kids Calm Multi is especially formulated for autism and ADHD.
4. Exercise daily.
5. Use EFT tapping for emotional release.

You can see my recommendations below and you can read more in Autism Can Be Treated, a paper that I co-wrote.

In my book, The Magnesium Miracle, I wrote about the following six reasons why magnesium is important in the treatment of asthma:

1. Research shows that many patients with asthma and other bronchial diseases have low magnesium.

2. Both histamine production and bronchial spasms increase with magnesium deficiency.

3. Many drugs used in the treatment of asthma cause a loss of magnesium, only making symptoms worse.

4. Magnesium is an environmental detoxifier reducing the triggers for asthma.

5. Magnesium relieves stress to alleviate the emotional triggers for asthma.

6. Patients treated with simple magnesium supplementation report marked improvement in their symptoms.

I wanted to write a blog about asthma and magnesium because I received this report on magnesium oil being used for asthma in a dog.

The dog owner said that she’d read that asthma is caused by a magnesium deficiency. Since her dog has asthma attacks she decided to start spraying magnesium oil on the dog’s belly and it worked. It prevented attacks and it also stopped an attack if she applied it as soon as one occurred. She said the best way to apply the magnesium is to spray it on your hand or a cotton ball and rub it on the dog’s skin keeping it from running into the private parts. The magnesium is salty and oily so it can be irritating and in that case would need to be diluted with water.

When I first wrote The Magnesium Miracle, I realized that many people can’t take oral magnesium because of the laxative effect. Therefore I began advising people to put supersaturated magnesium chloride—called magnesium oil on their skin to bypass the intestines. It also stimulates DHEA production that occurs in the skin. And it can be used it in baths and foot baths for muscle aches, joint pain, and foot pain and neuropathy.

You can dilute the magnesium oil 50:50 with distilled water or coconut oil and apply 1-2 tsp on your skin every day. Or you can apply full strength magnesium oil all over your body and leave on for at least 30 minutes, then shower off because it gets itchy when it dries. One ounce of oil is a sufficient amount to put in a bath. I use LL’s Magnesium Oil.

How much magnesium are you getting with magnesium oil? According to some manufacturers the amount of magnesium chloride per teaspoon is about 2,500 mg. However, that’s not the amount of magnesium or the amount that will be absorbed. There is 60mg of magnesium in 500 mg of magnesium chloride. Therefore the amount of magnesium in a tsp is about 300 mg, which is a normal dose of oral magnesium.

You have many choices when it comes to magnesium. I use all of them at one time or another: Natural Calm magnesium powder, magnesium oil, magnesium flakes and angstrom magnesium. I’m off to have my magnesium flakes and clay bath right now!

MEDIA: On Natural News you can listen to my interview about ADHD (and much more) on the Jan 24, 2012, Robert Scott Bell show.
I was quoted in this excellent article, I was quoted in this excellent article, Bone and Joint Care Primer in Whole Foods Magazine.

I spent the morning at the Swap Meet (farmer’s market) in Kahului with my friend, Barbara-Ann (the best masseuse in the world) where we were blitzing everyone with our bubble gun. Everyone loves bubbles, especially kids. So, I came home ready to do a blog dedicated to our most precious resource.

A recent Medscape article talks about “the short supply of drugs used to treat ADHD, including certain brands and dosages of dextroamphetamine with amphetamine (Adderall, Shire PLC) and methylphenidate (Ritalin, Novartis).”

Apparently doctors and parents are outraged that the DEA is controlling the amount of amphetamines their children are getting. Personally, I think the drug companies are causing this shortage in order to get the doctors and parents to force the DEA to allow more speed to be used on kids.

But why are we drugging kids in the first place?

This week, Abby Nelson sent me her article called, 10 Common Medications your Child Should Never Take. It’s a very thorough piece explaining the side effects of medications commonly given to kids.

Let’s get this straight; our kids are not suffering from an amphetamine deficiency or any other drug deficiency! They are suffering nutrient deficiencies. And simple nutritional formulas treat them every bit as well as drugs…and without the added side effects of stunting their growth and the potential of turning them into drug addicts.

But why medicate when you can give your child safe supplements? My overall supplement recommendation is Kids Calm Multi. It’s a liquid supplement by Natural Vitality that contains organic fruits and vegetables, DHA, EPA, amino acids along with A, B, C, D, magnesium, zinc and calcium. You can get it at a deep discount at my favorite online retailer VitaCost.com.

I’m a big supporter of Natural Vitality and highly recommend their environmentally aware online magazine Organic Connections. This month’s issue features a 14-year old beekeeper, chicken farmer, and sustainable-food advocate, Orren Fox. This young man is a true testament to the immense benefits of natural living.

To learn more about safe and effective natural remedies, read my booklets, Kids Health: A Doctor’s Guide for Parents and Homeopathic Remedies for Children’s Common Ailments and my article on Natural News, Homeopathy for Children’s Emotional Health.

If you feel your child is toxic from vaccines and junk food, you can offer soothing baths in detoxifying clay and magnesium. I recommend the Natural Clay and Magnesium Flakes at LL’s Magnetic Clay. Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) may be a substitute but I’ve had parents who have tested different brands and found they contained measurable levels of mercury. So, I can’t recommend Epsom salts for kids.

Of course, I should mention diet. It’s important to limit your child’s intake of sugar and rotate wheat and dairy so that they don’t eat these foods every day. Encourage them to eat vegetables and fruits and stay away from processed and fried foods. A client of mine who took my advice and turned her kids health around is writing a recipe book. I’ll let you know when it’s available.

Join me tonight, 8pm EST for the launch of Kathi Casey’s new teleseminar series, “Permanent Weight Loss IS Possible!” It’s free and it will be fun and informative.

In tonight’s seminar, I’ll be explaining how toxins, like excess stress hormones for example, make it more difficult for our bodies to lose the fat we are trying to get rid of, and how we can detox easily and quickly.

In Today’s Blog, Kathi shared a link to a TV show I did about yeast overgrowth with Dr. Becker. But tonight I’ll be focusing on how yeast can lead to inflammatory weight gain.

Here are three of Kathi’s weight loss tips to wet your appetite for more!

“1. Drink more green tea. Green tea leaves aren’t fermented like black, so they contain the highest concentration of catechins (powerful antioxidants). Studies have shown that drinking several cups of green tea a day can lower “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and promote weight loss!

2. Plan your grocery shopping! We really need to get back to the days of making a list with the entire week in mind, including bringing your own lunch to work! That’s how my parents shopped when I was a kid. There was no stopping for take-out on a rushed day back then. We know our schedule and can plan ahead so that on busy days we toss dinner in a slow cooker before we leave in the morning, or make double lasagna one week and freeze half for our busy day next week. It only takes a little planning to cut out a huge amount of extra fat, calories, and cost from our weekly meal plans! And don’t forget to bring your reusable shopping bags to the grocery store…

3. Smoothies are a great all natural treat! Keep a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table or counter with the blender right next to it. Teach everyone in the family how to make nutritious and tasty smoothies at home and start a healthy new family routine.”

People from all over the world have already signed up for “Permanent Weight Loss IS Possible!” Join us and you can send in your own questions for the Q&A section of the seminar. And, as an extra bonus, you can purchase my Completement Now! Online Wellness Program for half price!

It’s your choice. You can buy Kathi Casey’s book, Get Off The Couch, Potato! or Dr. Mercola $5,699 machine that will shake your belly fat off!

Here’s where I say, “Lord Suffering Cats! Is that any choice at all?”

Perhaps this machine is made of gold?

And what does it do? It SHAKES OFF BELLY FAT. How gullible are we to spend all our hard-earned money on something you should be able to do by running around the block a few times a week? Or maybe “the placebo effect” of spending all that money will make it work!

Instead of a belly-shaking machine, I recommend following Kathi’s month-long fitness program outlined in Get Off The Couch, Potato! where she coaches you on how to improve your lifestyle in order to attain all-round health, while losing weight.

On Tuesday, January 17, 2012, I help Kathi kick off a teleseminar series that is part of the swag-bag of gifts you receive when you purchase her book.

Kathi’s Get Off the Couch, Potato! book is not only fun and funny but it’s the perfect solution for over-worked parents, television-addicted teens, out-of-shape Baby Boomers, and more. Her book will make you laugh and provide you with many tips and tools so you can take charge of your own health.

Her bonus gifts are from today’s leaders in self-help, mind body spirit, and social media. So, order your copy of Kathi Casey’s book “Get Off the Couch, Potato!” today!

Besides doing the teleseminar, I’m also giving away my How to Change Your Life With Magnesium ebook, as well as a special $97.00 offer on my $240.00 Completement Now! 2-year wellness program.

So, get off the couch and join.

In the first few days of 2012 I’ve been inundated with emails about magnesium.

1. A reader wanted me to know that she thinks magnesium is going big-time because she heard a local talk radio advertising MagOx and saw a TV ad for Phillips Caplets. Both are magnesium oxide products for constipation.

She knows I say magnesium oxide is only 4% absorbed so it’s bound to cause the laxative effect, yet, not give you enough magnesium for other important functions. But we both agreed that at least some information about magnesium is getting out there. But I did find out that MagOx is covered by Medicaid. But avoid Phillips Caplets because of the “added ingredients” Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium, Pregelatinized Starch, Stearic Acid, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide, Polyethylene Glycol, Talc, Silicon Dioxide.

TALC…Lord Suffering Cats!

2. A young woman wrote that she has terrible migraines and in the past six months has experienced severe leg cramps, muscle spasms, constant twitches, soreness, and aching. Her doctor did some blood work and found a folic acid deficiency but didn’t look for magnesium. Adding folic acid did nothing. Then she remembered reading something about magnesium for migraines. She had tried it years ago and seen improvement in her migraines, but stopped because she found herself constantly running to the bathroom. She asked me what to do.

I get the laxative effect with any amount and any kind of magnesium tablets. I told her that my solution to the laxative effect is to use angstrom magnesium. I also use magnesium flakes in my daily bath.

Angstrom magnesium is fairly new on the supplement scene. I’ve written about it and given case histories in my $5.00 eBook, How to Change Your Life with Magnesium. I’ve validated its effectiveness for myself snd a veterinarian friend tells me about his incredible case histories. He says the angstrom mineral liquids work as well as IV minerals for his animal patients.

Standard minerals are broken down into a size between a nanometer and a picometer. Very Small. But that’s the size of the ion channels that allow minerals inside our cells. So, angstrom minerals are very low potency but are said to be 100% absorbed into the cells. Thus, no laxative effect and relief of symptoms.

3. A gentleman from Brooklyn wanted to know about the availability of magnesium intravenous therapy. I told him to use angstrom minerals and transdermal magnesium oil. According to Dr. Norm Shealy, you can increase your blood levels of magnesium using transdermal magnesium oil faster than with IV magnesium.

4. A dutiful granddaughter, convinced that her grandmother’s angina would benefit from magnesium, bemoaned the fact that I don’t see patients and that her doctor didn’t “believe” in supplements. I told her that nobody could argue with putting Epsom salts into a footbath that would allow her body to absorb enough magnesium to make a difference.

I tend to receive questions about depression around the holidays. It’s a time when families get jumbled together and are forced to interact, dragging up past hurts and traumas. I don’t treat depression over the phone but refer to a treatment that works offered at Truehope. EMPowerplus is a high potency vitamin/mineral formula for depression that has an 80% effectiveness compared with a JAMA study conclusion that three quarters of the benefit from antidepressants seems to be a placebo effect.

A friend from Canada, Anthony Stephan, felt forced to come up with a solution for two of his children heavily medicated for bipolar disorder. His wife had committed suicide a few years before and Tony was desperate. He spoke with a friend at church, David Hardy, who had spent twenty years as an animal feed formulator. Hardy said that the bipolar behavior of Stephan’s son, Joe, sounded to him like a pig with ear-and-tail-biting syndrome. Furthermore, Hardy told him that some farmers had successfully used a nutritional supplementation program to control the syndrome.

Using Hardy’s extensive knowledge of pig feed supplementation, the two men formulated a human version of the regimen, using human grade supplements. Stephan’s children responded to the formula and were able to discontinue their medications. As they recovered and began to resume healthy lives, word spread through their communities. Stephan and Hardy were happy to share their regimen and soon there were hundreds of people trying this early version of what is now EMPowerplus.

You can read more about the Discovery of EMPowerplus and be amazed at the testimonials and 14 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals showing that much of depression is related to nutritional deficiencies.

For anxiety I often recommend the Linden Method that you can access online. And I’m also exploring The Healing Codes and Healing Codes Program by Drs. Alex Loyd and Ben Johnson. The Codes neutralize negative memories. For me, the Healing Codes provide tools that can be applied to the theories of German New Medicine…which states that physical illness is a result of mental trauma.

All in all, there are many alternative therapies for the mental stress and trauma that affect many of us so that we aren’t forced to take antidepressants that may not work but always produce side effects.
