Kidney Artery Calcification Causes Kidney Disease

If you don’t have enough magnesium in your body to help keep calcium dissolved, you can develop many symptoms, including muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, calcified arteries, dental cavities, and calcium deposits (including breast tissue calcification). Some researchers equate aging with calcification. A recent study found that elderly women who take calcium supplements and had a history of stroke or white matter lesions (WMLs) may face an increased risk for dementia. And remember, elderly means anyone over 65!

In my 2014 edition of Magnesium Miracle, I mention that 1 molecule of table sugar (sucrose) requires 28 molecules of magnesium in order to metabolize it. However, fructose (fruit sugar) strips the body of 56 molecules of magnesium. Well, the validation of that statement is the following study: “The Interaction Between Dietary Fructose and Magnesium Adversely Affects Macromineral Homeostasis in Men.”

Diabetes, Kidney Disease and Magnesium

One of the signs of diabetes is low magnesium; it’s in all the medical texts but because we never learned about the importance of minerals in medical school, doctors do not routinely test for magnesium. And if they do, they use the wrong test. The serum magnesium test is highly inaccurate. But, luckily you can order your own Magnesium RBC test without a doctor’s prescription online at Request A Test. It’s only $49.00, but you want to have an optimum magnesium level of 6.0-6.5mg/dL.

Every day I receive emails or read on the Magnesium Advocacy Facebook page that people are afraid to take magnesium because of kidney disease. Even alternative medicine practitioners parrot the safety warning that ‘People with kidney disease should not take magnesium except by physician's orders.
