Hi Missy,

I?m not real sure what you are disagreeing with me about??. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


Notech said, ?I will just try calcium and exercise from now on.?


I was just trying to explain to her that she needed to take magnesium also??2:1, is the ratio that most people have heard and read. I?ve tried for a long time to explain to people the importance of magnesium (I have found this difficult) they love their calcium but they don?t seem to want to take magnesium. I give them the standard 2:1 ratio, that way, if they ask their doctors, the doctor will agree (most people I?ve met won?t make a move without their doctors approval) so I start at that place?..and if they are taking calcium, I try to encourage them to take magnesium along with it.

I personally take magnesium daily but I?ll forget to take calcium and it seems that if I only take magnesium?.after a week then I feel like I?m very low on calcium. I believe that magnesium can deplete calcium because I do know that magnesium is ?the best? at removing calcium from the bloodstream??it?s better then any ?calcium channel blocker? on the market.

I also know that magnesium is good for the heart, bowels, sleep and it has many, many other good benefits. My friend?s constipation problems was totally corrected when she finally started taking magnesium??.it took me over a year of explaining about magnesium before she would even try it. I also know they tested the hearts of people who had died from sudden heart attacks and they all had one thing in common?..they all lacked any magnesium.

Okay?..I just read your post, that you posted before I posted mine, that you think people should not take calcium at all??I didn?t make the connection before. Geeeze, I have enough trouble trying to convince people to take magnesium. I?m not going to tell someone to stop taking calcium??but I will continue to encourage people to take magnesium with their calcium.
