Some women who’ve read my book, Hormone Balance were put off because it wasn’t all about bio-identical hormone replacement. So many of us fall into the allopathic medicine trap that hormone replacement is all we need for menopause. Now, I’m not against bio-identical hormones but I make sure women understand that there is more to menopause than just taking a pill.

Consider these points:

1. When you stop having your monthly, you also stop releasing toxins. That’s why I wrote this blog: Detoxing Menopause.

2. I wrote about safe supplements for menopause in: Make My Menopause Stop!

3. What about bone health with symptoms of loss of height, poor posture and back pain in menopause? Basically, bones require the resistance of weight and gravity and a good dose of magnesium to stay strong and healthy. What to do?

a. Walking will give your leg, hip and back bones a workout. Walking and carrying a couple of 3-5 pound weights will put the required stress on bones to keep them actively growing and remodeling.

b. Taking oral magnesium and magnesium baths are far better bone formers than calcium.

Read: Why I Hate Calcium.

c. Take Vitamin D for your bones and to balance your intake of magnesium.

Read: Magnesium Deficiency Reduces Effectiveness of Vitamin D in the Prevention of Disease.

Watch this Webinar: Vitamin D, Magnesium and Our Bones.

4. I’ve recently learned that symptoms of bladder incontinence can be treated by going on a gluten free diet. That can be a huge breakthrough for people with this very difficult symptom!

Antibiotic resistance is nothing new but it’s finally so bad that allopathic medicine is saying “Be Very Afraid!” Why? Because drug companies are no longer producing “the next great antibiotic.” They’ve tapped the well dry; there are no new drugs in the pipeline that can beat antibiotic resistance.

The bugs have won!

A Lancet Infectious Disease study (2010;10:597-602) describes a bug that has developed a gene that passes on antibiotic resistance to its friends that now threatens all antibiotics.

The next four paragraphs are from an article on Medscape.com.

“Resistance is the ‘elephant in the room’ in the field of infectious diseases. … now the future appears to be particularly ominous… Pharmaceutical companies are no longer interested in antibiotic development and production for a variety of reasons, mostly economic. As one pharmaceutical executive told me: ‘You take an antibiotic for 1-2 weeks but you take a statin for a lifetime. What would you make?’

From 1983-1987, 16 new antibiotics were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but from 2008-2011, just 2 new systematic antibiotics were approved and neither addressed the issue of resistance.

President Obama has asked the Trans-Atlantic Antibiotic Resistance Task Force to address the problem, indicating recognition of its international reach. Two bills introduced in Congress (the GAIN bill in the House and the STARR Act in the Senate) include proposals for financial incentives for the pharmaceutical industry to produce new antibiotics.

Nevertheless, no antibiotics currently in phase 3 development are likely to resolve the problem of gram-negative bacilli resistance.”

I’m reading this and all I can say is Lord Suffering Cats!

How’s this for an analogy? A car manufacturer continually makes cars that blow up but keeps making the cars and even gets government funding to keep making the cars – THAT KEEP BLOWING UP!

Has any one of these doctors ever thought that we have to find other ways to treat infections? Like:

1. Taking nutrients that keeps us healthy. (I recommend non-synthetic, food-based Grown by Nature supplements. The code gbn123 at checkout carries a 20% discount.

2. Eating a good diet that keeps us healthy.

3. Living a healthy lifestyle. (Join my Completement Now! 2-year online wellness program that will tell you exactly how to stay healthy.)

4. Using the dozens of natural remedies for colds and flus and infections (see my eBook, Future Health Now Encyclopedia).

5. Using safe but powerful probiotics like Prescript Assist to keep the bad bugs in check. After all it’s the bad bugs in the gut that got the drop on us and are passing around the gene that disarms antibiotics. Why not start there?

6. Detoxing regularly with clay and magnesium baths to keep the bad bugs from finding toxic places to grow in your body.

7. Reading my free newsletter with countless tips to keep you well.
Pursue these solutions and when you really need an antibiotic, maybe your bugs won’t be resistant to it.

Here’s what someone sent me about my favorite mineral. In the journal Diabetes Care: 2010 Feb;33(2):304-10, researchers concluded that: “High magnesium intake is associated with lower concentrations of certain markers of systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in postmenopausal women.

In my world, the most common cause of systemic inflammation is yeast overgrowth coupled with diet and lifestyle toxicity. Endothelial dysfunction occurs when the smooth muscles lining blood vessels are in spasm because of magnesium deficiency. By remaining rigid, they drive up blood pressure and can cause stroke and heart attacks!

Can you spell “vindication?” You bet I can.

So, if you’ve been waiting around for absolute proof that magnesium is beneficial, then here it is. As for systemic inflammation, that’s why I recommend magnesium baths along with clay.
You don’t have to be toxic or a senior citizen to benefit from magnesium. Here’s what one athlete sent me. “Thank you for exploring Magnesium. It’s changed my life. I’m an excessive exerciser and Magnesium was the missing link.”

Here’s a note from a marathoning couple. “I am currently reading your book and recently finished the section on athletes. I am a typical person training for my second marathon. After completing my first marathon I began having severe heart palpitations and my husband hurt a leg muscle. I am now questioning if a magnesium deficiency led to these issues.” She also mentioned the “huge amount of electrolyte supplements, juices, drinks, gels, powders, “blocks”, jelly beans and other performance enhancing things that are marketed to runners and given out freely at running events…but none of them feature magnesium.”

Basically athletes are sweating out their magnesium at a great rate and often need two and three times the RDA. But don’t forget to include other minerals as well by using mineral-rich green powdered drinks along with your protein shakes. I’m a fan of the Green Drinks at Tropical Traditions http://tinyurl.com/5ts845z.

Something that I haven’t emphasized enough in my blogs is that your body doesn’t run on magnesium alone. By taking one nutrient in higher amounts you may uncover an underlying deficiency in other nutrients. We know that to be the case with Vitamin D and as research catches up with reality, I predict that we will find that most nutrients interact positively with magnesium.

In my Magnesium Miracle book I gave several lists of nutrients that interact well with magnesium for various health conditions. However, I would like to correct that information with a specific recommendation for Grown by Nature food-based nutrients and a code (gbn123) that the company offers that allows a generous 20% discount on all purchases.

When I first started studying natural medicine I learned from other practitioners that if they thought vitamins weren’t “powerful” enough, they would offer IM and IV injections of nutrients. That always concerned me, especially knowing that high dose vitamins are synthetic. Even then I realized that it seemed like a very allopathic approach to keep jacking up the dosage instead of finding out why the treatment wasn’t working. I also think that some of the negative research on vitamins that’s floating around these days is because the vitamins used are synthetic.

You know a vitamin is synthetic when the source on the label, displayed in brackets, is a chemical name and not a food.

Whenever I consult with a new client I suggest that they finish off their synthetic supplements and switch to food-based ones from Grown by Nature.

The company describes their vitamins and minerals as being “re-natured.” This means that a concentrated form of a vitamin or mineral is “fed” into a food medium in which that nutrient would normally be found. The complex then undergoes a “growth” process which results in that vitamin or mineral being integrated to become one with the food matrix in the same way as it would be found naturally.

On the Grown by Nature website you can study their research and testimonials and decide if it’s time for you to Go Natural. As an added incentive, GBN is offering a generous 20% discount on your purchases. Just enter the code: gbn123.

For the past five years I’ve been taking GBN Multiple vitamin/mineral, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Antioxidant, Essential Fatty Acids and Zinc. I used to take 2 per day…but after a while I realized I felt just fine on one per day.

Here’s another shocker that I can add to my Death by Modern Medicine eBook. “Hospitals in better compliance with the National Quality Forum (NQF) patient safety practices did not have lower rates of infection or overall mortality, according to the results of a retrospective cohort study reported in the October issue of the Archives of Surgery.”

Translated, that means, even if hospitals really try not to harm people, they aren’t successful. They just don’t seem to understand that it’s the drugs and surgery they are overusing that’s the problem. Until they incorporate natural medical practices, that can handle possible up to 80% of medical problems, they will continue to use methods that cause problems instead of solving them.

However, on a very optimistic note, medical technology has created a new procedure that takes healthy skin cells from a severely burned patient and sprays them all over the burned sections. In just a few days, these harvested skin cells have grown a new skin and the person is completely healed. See the skin gun video and be amazed. The is the fantastic part of allopathic medicine that we do want to keep.

Here are two more magnesium miracles from readers.

“Dr. Dean, I read about magnesium for hypertension and I started taking it and tapering off of my high blood pressure medicine. I no longer need the medication. It came down from an average of 150/70 taking prescription medication to an average of 130/70 (sometimes lower) taking magnesium. I am 80 years old and still learning. Blessings”

And from another “user.” “Hi Carolyn, I’m behind your magnesium ‘crusade’ 100%. It is the single best treatment that I have undertaken for my chronic pain, which was largely a result of tight muscles. Unfortunately, it is only the ‘alternative’ practitioners, such as physios, chiros and masseuses that are willing to acknowledge the benefits of magnesium. I have found that the primary medicos treat my marked recovery as an anomaly or an unsubstantiated and uneducated claim. Over 18 months later I am still improving. Keep up the good work!”

My basic recommendations on the various types of magnesium to take are on my website under Resources.

Under books you’ll find my eBooks: How to Change Your Life with Magnesium, Future Health Now Encyclopedia and Death by Modern Medicine.

For Detoxing I still recommend LL’s Magnetic Clay and Magnesium flakes.

For treating yeast overgrowth, IBS and digestive disorders, I still recommend coconut oil from Tropical Traditions and the probiotics Prescript Assist from LL’s.

In my ongoing exposé of magnesium, here is the latest on magnesium via a review of my book Magnesium Miracle on amazon. It’s by a Thomas Loarie who has reviewed over 300 products on Amazon.com. It’s always a bonus when you can get a skeptic to change his mind…he often becomes an advocate.

“Case is Made for the Enormous Health Benefits of This Important Mineral Which is Lacking in Today’s Diet.” Mr. Loarie said an engineer friend “has been touting the importance of magnesium for good health for several years. I listened but did not act until he loaned me his copy of “The Magnesium Miracle” by Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. and research on magnesium’s role in health began in earnest at the Children’s Hospital of Oakland Research Institute, CHORI,

My reluctance and skepticism centered on the lack of clinical evidence and the general over-hyping of supplements by quacks. In this case, though, after I asked a world famous cardiovascular researcher about magnesium, I learned that there may be something to the importance of magnesium and learned that a new researcher at CHORI was going to focus his research solely on this mineral. He, too, felt there was a “there there.”

In “The Magnesium Miracle,” author Dean makes her case for the importance of magnesium. It is her hope that we increase our magnesium intake, improve our health, and share our newly-found knowledge about this mineral with others, including our physicians. The public and the medical establishment are unaware of the importance of magnesium to health.

“Magnesium regulates more than 325 enzymes in the body, the most important of which produce, transport, store, and utilize energy. Many aspects of cell metabolism are regulated by magnesium, such as DNA and RNA synthesis, cell growth, and cell reproduction. Magnesium also orchestrates the electric current that sparks though the miles of nerves in our body. Magnesium has numerous physiological roles, among which are control of nerve action, the activity of the heart, neuromuscular transmission, muscular contraction, vascular tone, blood pressure, and peripheral blood flow. Magnesium modulates and controls the entry and release of calcium from the cell, which determines muscular activity.”

Dean lists many of the conditions resulting from a magnesium deficiency which includes, but is not limited to:
1. Anxiety and depression
2. Migraines and pain
3. Strokes, head injury, and brain surgery
4. Heart disease
5. Obesity, syndrome X, and diabetes
6. PMS
7. Infertility, pregnancy, cerebral palsy
8. Osteoporosis and kidney stones

For those still unsure, they can read Dean’s blog and success stories she is documenting. For those who become convinced, Dean also includes a list of all magnesium supplements and their effective absorption. Not all supplements are created equal so this is an important list when considering a magnesium supplements.

Magnesium is deficient in our diets and in our food supply. Appendices include magnesium and the calcium content (magnesium and calcium work together) of common foods.

Dean’s book is an eye-opener for physicians and lay people on the enormous benefits of magnesium…I now have my own copy.”

Thanks for the great review, Thomas. I’m sure it will help many people!

Here’s Part 2 of my Oct 6, 2011 post on Treating Colds and Flus.

As you can see there is a lot you can do to take care of yourself so you don’t end up at the doctor’s office with a prescription in your hand.

1. Cover your mouth when coughing, don’t use cloth handkerchiefs, and wash your hands before touching other people or their possessions.

2. While you are sick, keep your toothbrush in 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (that you can get from the drug store), then replace or boil your toothbrush when you recover so you won’t re-infect yourself.

3. Stop all sugar, dairy, and wheat to decrease mucus and don’t eat heavy foods such as meat and fried foods.

4. Don’t smoke.

5. Take plenty of (diluted) fruit and vegetable juices and chicken broth.

6. If there are no contraindications, use a warm‐water enema with the juice of one lemon to pull out toxins. Or try a coffee enema.

7. Take Epsom salts baths, 2 cups in hot water, to open pores. You can add magnetic clay to your bath as well.

8. For winter colds wear lots of clothing layers to encourage sweating, wrap a scarf around your throat, and wear a hat at all times to avoid the possible loss of 40 percent of your body heat from your head.

9. Use a vaporizer; mucus can collect at night if the air is too dry.

10. Do chest clapping to loosen mucus in the chest.

The main supplement that I write about is magnesium. I figure if I can get most people to just take this safe and effective mineral, the world would change. We’d have less heart disease, less high blood pressure, less migraines, less PMS, less IBS…less disease in general. To make my case, I keep passing on the stories that come to me daily.

A 70-years young, self-proclaimed recycled teenager for two days in a row did heavy construction at her health food store. After the second day her body knew it was in trouble. So when she got home she decided to try out the Magnesium Flakes that I recommend. When she got out of that tub she said she was TOTALLY SURPRISED. She walked out of the bathroom and there was no pain or discomfort anywhere. (I would also put Natural Magnetic Clay in the bath.)

Here’s a testimonial from a reader in England. “I just read your book The Magnesium Miracle; it’s amazing. Here’s my story. I have had serious arrhythmias for 8 years (ventricular tachycardia). I have had four very difficult ablations, 2 of which almost killed me. My cardiologist says my heart is normal and there is no explanation for these arrhythmias. On every admission I was tested for potassium and it was always found to be low. There was never any mention of magnesium.

I have taken a diuretic the past 20 years for high blood pressure which has probably depleted my magnesium and I’m only in my mid-fifties. I had a defibrillator fitted and I felt so defeated. I also began to have terrible anxiety my life was non-existent.

Now, after only one week of taking magnesium citrate 100 mg 4 times daily and one chelated potassium 99mg, I feel so much better.”

My magnesium citrate recommendation is Natural Calm.

The bad news I’m talking about is the recent study that pretends that supplements are bad! The study is badly done and without merit and should be ignored. Already, based on erroneous findings, Bloomberg News is spreading the word and the Huffington Post passes on the advice of the AARP (a pro drug organization) that “older adults who take dietary supplements to boost their intake of minerals need to be careful they don’t get too much of a good thing.”

I’m on the board of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service and here’s our posted comment. “What Kind of Medical Study Would Have Grandma Believe that Her Daily Multivitamin is Dangerous?”

Unfortunately the good news doesn’t get reported often in the mainstream media. Like the report I just got from a dentist friend, Dr. John Damiano, who has been suffering for 35 years from brain seizures.

At the 2-month mark on magnesium John reported that “There has been a remarkable improvement. First, spontaneous jerking of my left foot early in my sleep has disappeared 99% (The fasciculations in my left shoulder are virtually gone.) The nature of my brain surgeries (which I now realize I probably never needed) left me with hyperexcitability in my lower left extremity and therefore a dramatic Babinski reflex. Even an itch virtually anywhere on my left leg will cause upper motor neurons to misfire and contract the muscles below my knee, thus a foot twitch. It seems that that phenomenon is conquered such that an itch or a tickle doesn’t result in a bothersome twitches.

And more incredibly, his once skeptical neurologist told him to “Keep taking Magnesium” after seeing “dramatic shrinkage” in his brain lesions on his 3 month anniversary of taking magnesium.

The first bit of advice is to Stay At home!

A cold or flu is your body telling you that you’re run down and you need to rest. It’s also an indication that you may be toxic.

Here are some remedies (it’s not an exhaustive list) that you can take if you are getting or if you have a cold. I’ll do another blog on how to prevent colds and flus.

You don’t have to “drown” in all these remedies, just take 2-3 that appeal to you or ones you already have in your cupboard.

1. Take the homeopathic Oscillococcinum at the first signs of a cold or flu. Some people use it when they travel, are in crowds, or throughout the flu season on a weekly basis.

2. Vitamin C: Dosage: 1,000 mg every 1‐2 hours while awake can cut the duration of a cold or flu by several days.

3. Zinc: Choose a chelated product. Dosage 25 mg, take two per day. Or use zinc lozenges.

4. Garlic: Place a small clove or half a clove of garlic in your mouth and let it sit without chewing through the day and night. Swallow with water when it becomes macerated and replace. Stop if the inside of your mouth becomes irritated.

5. Drink Sage tea for cough (steep twenty minutes).

6. Drink Fenugreek tea for mucus (steep five minutes).

7. Use Wild Oregano oil, Garlic, or Echinacea herbal antibiotics as tincture, tablets, or teas at least three times a day.

8. Mullein and Lobelia are for chest congestion, 1/2 teaspoon each in hot water three times a day. These herbs can also be used as a chest poultice for pleurisy, pneumonia, or bronchitis.

9. Detox: Use Clay Detox Baths. Start with the “Natural Clay.” Blend up 1/4 to 1/2 cup of clay in your blender with 32oz of water and pour that into your hot water foot bath or tub. Soak for 30 min and shower off. Add Magnesium Flakes for further cleansing and muscle relaxation.

For Detoxing I recommend LL’s Magnetic Clay and Magnesium Flakes. For treating yeast overgrowth, IBS and digestive disorders, I recommend Prescript Assist. For Coconut products, whey powder and green powders go to Tropical Traditions. For food-based supplements Grown by Nature offers my readers a 20% discount on your purchases. At checkout, just enter the code: gbn123.

NOTE: Only you can know if something is helping you. If you don’t feel well on a supposed beneficial product, listen to your body and stop taking it! Knowing when to Not take something is a big part of taking responsibility for your health!

P.P.S. I cannot answer personal health questions by email. However, please send general questions that I may be able to answer in my blog. But first, google my name with the condition you are inquiring about and see if I’ve already addressed it somewhere on the web.
