I was having heart palpitations for weeks. I had been on a “fitness health kick” so I was eating healthy whole foods, but reduced calories. I was also working out hard every day with weights, cardio and a steam room session, so sweating a lot daily. I thought I had a serious heart issue! After a little research, I started taking a magnesium supplement - my heart palpitations stopped the following day! Magnesium has a big effect on heart rhythm

Same with me. My heart palpitations and ectopic beats completely cleared up the day after taking magnesium citrate. I will say however, that as a fellow fitness enthusiast, working out hard every day is far too much for your body. Especially if you include cardio in there too. You should really only workout hard like that 4 times a week at the most. Your body just won't have any time to recover.

I am thankful for this video having been posted to my phone. It solidified my concept on the importance of Magnesium in our diet. I had suffered a lot of severe cramps in my thighs so devastating I felt one day it will trigger a heart attack therefore I put my thinking cap on about the physiology of muscle contraction, which among other dietary & micro mineral elements relies on Calcium & Magnesium. The moment I put myself on Magnesium Supplement as far back as the 80s, I was free from these severe cramps & irregular heart beats. To everyone out there, take this lecture as an important message to protect you from serious ill health. Prevention is better than cure.

It's benefits to our body is so many that I took it seriously and started taking this supplement since 1993. I am over 70 now and never missed a day not taking it. Maybe that is very helpful bc I am in good health, not on any maintenance medication, no heart of blood pressure or sugar issues. This doctor's presentation is so much in detailed and so amazing. The fact that Magnesium helps our brains is so awesome. So many people suffers from Migraine and Depression, Alzheimer's that they take those other strong drugs and not Magnesium. I am so glad that there are groups of Functional Doctors now that educating the public through this media because America is getting sicker and sicker now. So many young and old around are obese and unhealthy because of all processed foods available. It is time that America takes control of their own health and not just depend on prescription drugs and be mindful of what we put in our mouth.

Apart from sleep and cognitive issues, I had begun to experiences brief but alarming episodes of double vision - the scary type which goes away when one eye is closed, returns when you open it again. This all very quickly resolved once I began to take a Mg-containing mineral supplement, so that, like the comment on dysphagia below, I suspect the double vison may have been a much less common manifestation of Mg deficiency. As a large animal veterinarian, I might add that both acute and chronic deficiencies of Mg have long been well recognized in farm animals, and particularly in stressed/lactating ruminants or those from whom calves have been recently removed...Most sincere thanks again to Dr El-Khodor!

The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat diet and microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related KZread presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.

Your Biz-school degree & medical training enable you to highlight this systemic weakness in our profit-oriented medical system. Unregulated capitalism is objectively undemocratic. Rent-seeking & ever-more sophisticated ‘innovative’ customer traps are inherently unfair to govt officials & ordinary citizens alike. And regardless of the nature of the political system, unregulated capitalism leads to oligarchs, monopolies, private quasi-governmental arrangements, a crowding-out of the public square, a corruption of historically non-profit private social organizations, dominance of labor, and ultimately, slavery. As an MBA, you’re familiar with the methods by which ownership maintains control of the enterprise, including reporting controls that originated in feudal-era bureaucracies and, less-specifically, all the common law that originated in those times clothed in terms like the master-servant relation, the enforceable obligations of obedience embedded in contracts, and the web of laws & customs that favored property rights over individual welfare. (The rich & poor alike are prohibited from stealing bread, sleeping under bridges, and walking down the street without a plan). Before a system becomes fatally corrupt, some combination of pitchforks, opposition movements & resulting political reform can ‘save’ capitalism (like the labor movement & The New Deal). The Chinese have been struggling with capitalist concentration for a decade or more; the outcome is not entirely clear & won’t be for many years. To close out this overly-long comment, remember that when the capitalists adopted reporting controls from the bureaucrats, the bureaucrats continued to use them. So you know that, behind those stories about ‘disappeared’ people in Argentina, Chile, East Germany, etc. there was a secret police weekly report something like, “Enemies of the State identified this reporting period.” Merry Christmas, 2021, to all ! 🎄
