Magnesium for Osteoporosis


Magnesium for Osteoporosis Pain?

By Dr. Brownstein
Question: Does applying magnesium oil topically offer any benefit for osteoporosis pain? I am using magnesium sprays on my lower back
and it seems to be helping.
Dr. Brownstein's Answer:
The human body contains a large amount of magnesium — more than 25 grams. Magnesium is needed for bone formation, nerve impulses, protein
synthesis, and many other crucial body functions.

I have been checking red blood cell magnesium levels in my patients for nearly 20 years. After thousands of tests, I can assure you that the majority
of patients are deficient in magnesium. The reason for this deficiency is that our soil has been depleted of magnesium due to poor farming techniques.

Magnesium deficiency predisposes the heart to rhythm abnormalities, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, headaches, as well as muscle weakness
and cramps.

Unfortunately, many patients cannot take magnesium due to its major side effect — loose stools and diarrhea.

Applying magnesium topically can bypass the gastrointestinal side effects. I have found topical magnesium very effective for raising red blood cell magnesium levels and improving the clinical conditions I mentioned above.

World Renown Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease

We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong.. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries,today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact. I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labelled “opinion makers.”  Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol. The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice. It Is Not Working! These recommendations are no longer

Posted on 11/19/2015  by  Healthy Living Blog  Just days before Halloween, foodies got bad news that was neither a trick nor a treat. The World Health Organization’s cancer agency, the   International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) , classified eating red meat – beef, veal, pork, lamb – as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” This new classification puts steak and pork chops in Group 2A, the   same group   as inorganic lead compounds and malaria. But, it gets worse. IARC’s   press release   also says processed meat is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) and that one portion a day (one hot dog, or two slices of bacon) was linked to increased rates of colorectal cancer, as well as prostate and pancreatic cancer. “It’s pretty bad when a food lands in the same category as asbestos and tobacco in terms of its carcinogenic potential,” says   Kay Judge, M.D. opens new window , medical director for   Sutter Weight Management Institute   in Sacramento and internal medicine special

Chemical Dependency and Aging

Most people look forward to the golden years, but after age 75 many medical issues arise that can compromise quality of life. Philip E. Kolski, LCSW, program manager of Outpatient Services at Mills-Peninsula’s   Behavioral Health Services Center Opens new window   sees many seniors struggling to manage chronic pain that keeps them from living the life they want. “Joint and back pain is especially prevalent among seniors,” he says.   According to the National Institutes of Health, about half of older Americans living on their own have chronic pain. Typically, to manage this pain, doctors prescribe opioid pain medications. “When these medications are taken over time, people can develop a tolerance for the medication,” Kolski says. “When that happens, either their dosage has to increase, they have to find an alternate way of coping with the pain such as acupuncture, or they have to stop taking the medication, go through withdrawal and start a new opiate.” While developing a tol
