Magnesium is a Perfect and Most Necessary Medicine

Every medicine has risks. The Brownstone Institute writes, “There is no perfect medicine. The benefits and harms of any treatment must be carefully considered in order to prescribe the safest, most effective course of action for a patient.” The Brownstein Institute is wrong. There is such a thing as the perfect medicine, and magnesium is it, but doctors and health officials just don’t get it. They don’t even like to think of magnesium as a medicine, but it is one of the most critical medicines one should take.

I wonder if Kennedy will get it. Magnesium deficiency is at the heart of insulin resistance, yet the most widely prescribed drugs, Statins, Proton Pump Inhibitors, and metformin, lower magnesium levels. Metformin is an FDA-approved antidiabetic agent that does not hold a torch to magnesium to manage diabetes. And not one of the 91 million Americans who take statin drugs should be taking them. Essentially, this means that modern medicine ends up hurting much more than helping.

On February 14th, I issued a Myocarditis Alert. It is one of the significant health disasters in progress and a direct result of the medical madness of mRNA injections. Every doctor who supported COVID-19 vaccines should have their heads examined and possibly be tried for malpractice. Somewhere between 20 and 100 percent of the COVID-19 vaccinated have some level of heart damage, or what is considered subclinical myocarditis. It should be known that magnesium is THE treatment for myocarditis, not that it is a cure but that it is the only MEDICINE that can mitigate some of the damages. It is the perfect treatment because magnesium-deficient patients have the highest chance of dying from myocarditis. It is well known in medicine that fifty percent of clinical myocarditis patients die within five years.

Ensuring adequate magnesium has the potential to prevent a cascade of chronic diseases, a fact that both orthodox research and alternative medicine proponents agree on, though few thrust it to the forefront of medical treatment.

Because magnesium is essential for healthy control of blood vessel function, blood pressure regulation, and regular heart contractions, a deficiency in magnesium increases the risk of conditions such as endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and sudden death from cardiac arrest. Magnesium intake is also inversely associated with coronary artery calcification. Magnesium deficiencies complicate any problem with the calcification of any body part because calcium is toxic in the face of such deficiencies. Magnesium controls calcium.

Magnesium intake is associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A significant cause of arterial stiffness in CKD patients is the development of vascular calcifications. Vascular calcification is an important prognostic marker for cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients.

Increased magnesium intake has been observed to lower the risk of adverse cardiac events, including stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and cardiac death, and it is thought that increased magnesium may slow or prevent arterial calcification and plaque formation. However, even patients with high levels of magnesium intake can still end up with Atherosclerosis due to many factors. However, medical science sustains that magnesium deficiency accelerated atherosclerosis, while Mg supplementation suppressed its development.

Magnesium is involved in more than 600 different functions, including cell membrane stability, mitochondrial function, maintenance of the tertiary structure of DNA and RNA, many major metabolic and signaling pathways, protein, lipid, and carbohydrate synthesis and metabolism, insulin/glucose metabolism, nervous and immune system function, heart function, muscle formation and contraction, bone and calcium metabolism, and activation of the nutrients thiamine, vitamin C, vitamin D, and iodide.

Magnesium deficiency is associated with diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmia, preeclampsia, heart failure, and hypertension; neurological diseases, including headache, seizures, and stroke; respiratory diseases, including bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; depression, overweight and obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and changes in lipid metabolism.

The magnesium story gets more critical as each year passes on. According to findings of a recent study published in The Lancet, nearly 75% of US adults are overweight or obese. Most of these people will have either metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, or diabetes, with some already having Atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular disorders. Probably close to 100 percent of this population will be magnesium deficient.

Magnesium Deficiency and Insulin Resistance

A Tufts study by Dr. Adela Hruby found that healthy people with the highest magnesium intake were 37% less likely to develop high blood sugar or excess circulating insulin, common precursors to diabetes. Among people who already had those conditions, those who consumed the most magnesium were 32% less likely to develop diabetes than those consuming the least.

Reversing insulin resistance is the first step to reversing diabetes and heart disease. Magnesium ameliorates insulin resistance and serum lipid profiles and lowers inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and platelet aggregability. Magnesium acts as a mild calcium antagonist on vascular smooth muscle tone and post-receptor insulin signaling; it is critically involved in energy metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, glucose utilization, ATPase functions, the release of neurotransmitters, and endothelial cell function and secretion. Magnesium has a significant impact on glucose metabolism and blood lipid levels.

Insulin resistance and magnesium depletion result in a vicious cycle of worsening insulin resistance and a decrease in intracellular Mg (2+), limiting magnesium’s role in vital cellular processes. Insulin resistance and attendant hyperinsulinemia promote CVD via increased vascular stiffness and fibrosis. When insulin processing becomes problematic, magnesium gets excreted through our urine instead, which is the basis of magnesium-wasting disease.

Magnesium: The Ultimate Heart and Diabetic Medicine

Little do we appreciate that insulin regulates sugar entry into the cells and magnesium. There is a strong relationship between magnesium and insulin action. Magnesium is essential for insulin’s effectiveness. A reduction of magnesium in the cells strengthens insulin resistance. Low serum and intracellular magnesium concentrations are also associated with impaired glucose tolerance and decreased insulin secretion.

Magnesium improves insulin sensitivity, thus lowering insulin resistance. Without magnesium, our pancreas won’t secrete enough Insulin–or the Insulin it secretes won’t be efficient enough to control our blood sugar. Magnesium is an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, so anything threatening magnesium levels threatens overall metabolism.

High Mg intake is associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and CVD. Dr. Ron Rosedale says, “Insulin floating around in the blood causes plaque build-up. They didn’t know why, but insulin causes endothelial proliferation. Every step of the way, Insulin causes cardiovascular disease. It fills the body with plaque. It constricts the arteries. It stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing platelet adhesiveness and coagulability of the blood.”

Improved insulin sensitivity from magnesium
replacement can markedly reduce triglyceride levels.

Magnesium deficiencies feed the fires of inflammation and pain.

Magnesium deficiencies trigger chronic systemic inflammation that also potentiates insulin resistance. People with type 2 diabetes mellitus may end up in a vicious circle in which magnesium deficiency increases insulin resistance, and insulin resistance causes magnesium deficiency.

Chronic low-grade inflammation is a characteristic of metabolic syndrome and interferes with insulin physiology. Ignorance has prevailed over the interrelationship between muscular lipid accumulation, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance because magnesium is the central mediating factor. Magnesium modulates cellular events involved in inflammation.

Magnesium Deficiency is a Massive Problem

One study says, ‘Half of All Americans are Magnesium Deficient.’ Other researchers say that it is currently estimated that 60% of adults do not achieve the average dietary intake (ADI), and 45% of Americans are magnesium deficient, a condition associated with hypertension, diabetes, and neurological disorders, to name just a few.

Magnesium deficiency can be attributed to standard dietary practices, medications, and farming techniques. Estimates suggest that the mineral content of vegetables has declined by as much as 80–90% in the last 100 years. Because serum magnesium does not reflect intracellular magnesium, the latter making up more than 99% of total body magnesium, most cases of magnesium deficiency are undiagnosed. Furthermore, most people in modern societies are terribly magnesium deficient also because of chronic stress and the massive consumption of refined and processed foods.

National Geographic confirms the evidence showing that many of today’s whole foods aren’t as packed with vitamins and nutrients as they were 70 years ago, potentially risking people’s health. The human race is being crippled not only by empty whole foods but tons

coronary deaths in America during the period 1940-1994.

One study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health shows that 68% of Americans are magnesium deficient. Other experts put the number closer to 75 to 80%. An AI search will tell you that it is believed that magnesium deficiency may affect only 2-15% of the general population, so much for the intelligence and reliability of artificial intelligence.

Forty percent of all first heart attacks end in death! One of magnesium’s most important actions is its vasodilating effects, which improves the blood supply to ischemic areas and reduces infarct size. A ten-year study of 2,182 men in Wales found that those eating diets low in magnesium had a 50% higher risk of sudden death from heart attacks than those eating one-third more magnesium. High magnesium eaters were only half as likely to have any cardiovascular incidents such as non-fatal heart attacks, strokes, angina (chest pain), or heart surgery.

Batman and Robin Cardiovascular Medicine

As we shall see in my work in Natural Cardiology, my online course on diabetes, and my soon-to-be-published book Unclogging Your Veins, the ultimate combination of two drugs for cardiovascular care are Cyclodextrins and magnesium, which will work powerfully together to save and extend lives. Cyclodextrins are the ultimate Rodo Rooter substance to reverse decades of blood plaque buildup. Magnesium will ensure you don’t die while cleaning up the mess in your arteries.

Nitric Oxide and the Dynamic Duo

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key regulator of cardiovascular function in the endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels). Disruptions in NO production or bioavailability are linked to hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, and heart failure. NO is one of the most important signaling molecules in the cardiovascular system. It plays a crucial role in vasodilation, blood pressure regulation, platelet function, and overall vascular health. It is produced endogenously by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) from the amino acid L-arginine.

Magnesium and cyclodextrins both facilitate nitric oxide. Because nitric oxide is a gas, it must be stored and released through NO donors—chemical compounds that release NO under physiological conditions. Cyclodextrins can encapsulate NO-releasing molecules such as S-nitrosothiols, N-diazeniumdiolates, or metal-NO complexes. This protects NO donors from premature degradation, extending NO release duration and improving its bioavailability.

Magnesium directly and indirectly influences nitric oxide synthesis and bioavailability. It is required to activate NOS enzymes, particularly endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which is responsible for NO production in blood vessels. Without adequate magnesium, eNOS activity can be impaired, reducing NO bioavailability, which affects vascular tone and circulation.

Magnesium enhances NO production by stabilizing endothelial cells and reducing oxidative stress, which protects NO from degradation, meaning magnesium preserves NO levels and ensures proper vasodilation.

Conclusion

Anyone who knows my work knows that my medical religion is protocol. I will never take one substance in isolation, not even these two superhero medicines. Hydrogen, oxygen, CO2, iodine, DMSO (sulfur), chlorine dioxide, selenium, the sun for vitamin D, and other essentials like vitamins C and K, and enzymes are important in resolving vascular and heart problems.
