Magnesium & DHEA

I stopped at the health store yesterday to pick up some hibiscus tea. For those who don't know hibiscus tea contains all the electrolytes our bodies need. It has a taste similar to cranberry and I love it over ice.

Okay back to the topic, while at the health store I mentioned that I was experiencing pain in my leg after meditating in the lotus position, known to us as Indian style. When I get up my leg locks up and hurts at the top of my thigh. I need to massage it and get it moving and it stops hurting. I thought maybe it was the joint, but no it is below the joint that connects the thigh to the torso. So, what is it?

I started taking turmeric three times a day and it helped, but I now started meditating on the couch. I was happy to see the owner's son there who is a RN, but uses natural healing methods. After determining that the pain was not arthritis he told me to try rubbing some magnesium oil on it. He said if it was a muscle, which he believed, this would help.

Magnesium oil? Never heard of it, he produced a 2 oz small bottle of it from Health and Wisdom, which I purchased. He also gave me a pamphlet about the oil which I took and read when I got home. The following is from the pamphlet.

Functions of Magnesium

Magnesium (the relaxer) is required at the center of every cell in the  body. When the cells are low in Magnesium, Calcium (the constrictor) moves to the center of the cell to protect the cell integrity. This causes  EVERY CELL in the body to be tight. It is little wonder we suffer from muscle stiffness, headaches, insomnia, rage, and more! Magnesium is required for the proper function of over 300 enzymatic processes in the body. Magnesium is needed to keep the brain, nerves, flexors, motor system functioning properly. Passion cool under the influence of magnesium. Negative passions such as hatred, temper outbursts, jealousy, quarrels, resentment, bitterness, hostility, selfishness, greed NEED MAGNESIUM!

                      Why Topical Magnesium?

"Most people are deficient in magnesium and transdermal is the best and fastest way to use it. Furthermore, trandermal is the only way which has been proven to raise DHEA."

"Except for patients with kidnsy failure, there is virtually NO illness which is not helped significantly by magnesium."

 ~ Dr C. Norman Shealy

Because the skin is the largest organ on our bodies it absorbs magnesium faster than ingesting it. All our nerves end on our feet by rubbing magnesium on the bottoms of our feet it is being absorbed through out the body. You could also use some in your bath water or soak your feet. For a foot soak use two to four ounces of magnesium oil for twenty to thirty minutes. Soaking your feet or in a bath for 6 days for 3-4 weeks will significantly raise cellular magnesium levels in most people. Note you can pour some in the palm of your hand and rub anywhere on your body, for men where there is no hair. Hair prevents the skin from fully absorbing magnesium.

  So, just what is DHEA? 

This was not included in the information. DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is a steroid hormone, which converts into both testosterone in males and estrogen in females. It is created from cholesterol in the adrenal glands. At about 6 or 7 our bodies start producing DHEA. DHEA is at its peak in our bodies during our 20s, then it starts to diminish. By age 75 our bodies are producing 20% less than it did fifty years ago. Another way DHEA is lost in some individuals is by taking oral birth control, corticosteroids, or drugs that treat psychiatric disorders.

DHEA has come to be know as "the fountain of youth, hormone," "the super hormone," and "the mother of all hormones." DHEA is said to aid in the following in those over 26.

• Anti-aging
• Weight loss
• Depression
• HIV/AIDs
• Alzheimer
• Heart disease 
• Diabetes 
• Inflammation 
• Immune disorders 
• Osteoporosis  
• and so much more
