(See my essays on “The Waters of Life.”) Spirulina, which is high in chlorophyll, is probably the most potent food on planet earth and provides a complete list of all the minerals and trace elements as well as amino acids and fatty acids we need to sustain life. Spirulina is offered as the ideal complement to transdermal magnesium chloride therapy, for it is a potent medicine in its own right. There is a balance needed between minerals, trace elements, and large amounts of magnesium used to treat disorders. In isolation and in too high a quantity anything can become a problem. Decreased intakes of sodium alone and increased intakes of potassium, calcium, and magnesium each alone decrease elevated blood pressure.Ī combination of all these factors-decreases of sodium and increases of potassium, calcium, and magnesium intakes that are characteristic of the so-called Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diets-have an excellent blood-pressure-lowering effect.” There is convincing evidence indicating that this imbalance-the high intake of sodium on one hand and the low intakes of potassium, calcium, and magnesium on the other hand-produce and maintain elevated blood pressure in a big portion of the population. In the U.S., for example, the average intake of these mineral nutrients is only 35-50 percent of the recommended intakes. The sodium intakes markedly exceed even the level of 2500 mg, which has been recently given as the maximum level of daily intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects on blood pressure or otherwise.īy contrast, the present average potassium, calcium, and magnesium intakes are remarkably lower than the recommended intake levels (DRI). Scientists from the University of Helsinki said, “The present average sodium intakes, approximately 3000-4500 mg/day in various industrialized populations, are very high, that is, 2-3-fold in comparison with the current Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of 1500 mg. The ratio of minerals and vitamins to each other is important. Most people today are getting too much calcium and not enough magnesium. However, this is not an issue for people whose dairy intake is high. If you take more magnesium than calcium, then you are going to upset your calcium balance. There is the balance of calcium to magnesium to be kept in the range of 1:1 to 2:1. In reality, problems with magnesium supplementation usually occur when the magnesium in the IV is given too rapidly or in too high of a dose, or both. Magnesium excess sometimes occurs when magnesium is supplemented as a medication (intravenously) because adding magnesium in very large doses in isolation from other nutrients can cause harmful effects on the body. Toxic symptoms from increased magnesium intake are not common because the body eliminates excess amounts unless there are serious problems with kidney function.
