[Music] let's talk about the relationship between magnesium and mitochondrial Integrity there are one to 2,000 mitochondria in every cell you know there's more in the heart heart because the heart needs the energy and red blood cells don't have mitochondria which I mean sidebar we're doing a instead of a sheer magnesium test which is completely um irrelevant to what's going on in your cells um people are re and I recommend a red blood cell magnesium because we can't get the ionized magnesium test I'm doing University research studies to to show the importance of ionized magnesium but here we're doing this red blood cell magnesium test and there no mitochondria in there which means the level of of Mag magnesium is going to be low so that test is a bit you know sketchy so in in for mitochondrial hell like I said you know the pyate cycle and then the kreb cycle absolutely are are geared to the amount of magnesium that you're taking in if you're not getting um your RDA and the RDA is set low 300 to 400 milligrams we need at least 600 milligram like I said I had to take 1,200 but then after I got saturated and all my symptoms were gone I mean seriously in in my mid 70s now I feel better than I did in my 30s because I'm saturated and my my body and my cells are working properly so if you can get saturation then at this point in time I'm only on 450 milligrams today of magnesium if I take more I'll get the last exi of effect because my body doesn't need that much now I know I drifted away from mitochondria but you know what are you what's specifically do you want to know about mitochondria and magnesium well obviously we know that M that mitochondria produce all the energy and so uh for the mitochondria to function at their best clearly we need that magnesium there and I didn't know if there was any extra information you had that you hadn't shared earlier what happen in um the mitochondrial research more in the alternative medicine they talk about co-enzyme Q10 as being important in the CB cycle and it is it's toward the end of the crep cycle and it came into more prominence because of the overuse of statin drugs that kill the enzyme that makes cholesterol and regulates cholesterol so this this Statin drug also kills the HMG COA redu enzyme that magnesium balances so magnesium works with this same enzyme that Statin kills and if you need more cholesterol magnesium will go to work if you if you've got enough cholesterol magnesium will will pull away and we make 80% of our cholesterol it's not a so much dietary thing but it is um the regulation by magnesium that's important so anyway if you're taking a Statin you really should be taking coenzyme q1 but if if you realize that magnes St deplete magnesium as well they're another magnesium depleter absolutely and I think it's the Lipitor Statin has a fluoride molecule in it so not only do you need to take more magnesium when you're taking these drugs but also if you can understand that magnesium is a natural Statin as said by many researchers now you know maybe a person could with their doctor wean off their um fat and drugs yeah yeah and it's also magnesium is so critical for neuronal stability of the neurons right like some of the most common symptoms are anxiety depression irritability anger Cravings a lot of these kind of neurological types of symptoms that are associated with magnesium deficiency and so let's talk a little bit more about kind of the mechanism there um obviously when we look at neurons they're the most dense cells with mitochondria and so the mechanism there for magnesium deficiency associated with a lot of these neurological mental health type symptoms right same thing you know the um magnesium opens up the neuron the calcium goes in fires an action potential and then the Magnesium pulls the calcium back out when you have um head trauma that disrupts the whole you know function of the brain and the inflammation starts and the cells are wide open lots of calcium comes in if you can give someone with head trauma a a good you know U IV dose of magnesium or non-laxative uh type of magnesium such as I work with you can prevent these post trumatic head head injuries it's that simple and and that work was was done by the Burton and Bella Alor and they forwarded my magnesium Miracle book these were two researchers on they're still around but by the time I got to them in the late 90s they'd already written a thousand papers on magnesium and they promoted the ionized magnesium test so that what or 25 years later and we still don't know about the ioniz Magnesium test and when I approached them to do the forward I was told by everybody else oh they're they're bench researchers they they won't have anything to do with with the you know clinical magnesium when I got to them they said we're fed up we have been working for decades trying to get magnesium recognized and no you know nobody's opening up clinicians aren't opening up I mean they must have realized that that medicine and big Pharma were kind of In Cahoots so they they forwarded the book and since then they've done some incredible studies on Aging for pizzax they found that um magnesium disrupts the way the tiir at the end of of the chromosomes the way they unravel magnesium stops that so it's an anti-aging and magnesium will dissolve calcium that's building up in tissues in in the wrong places so we've got the you know the calcification caused by um women especially being told they have to take 1,00 1500 milligrams of calcium and ignoring magnesium entirely so we've got a calcified Society we've got we've got foods that are are um fortified with calcium so our diet is like 10 to one calcium to magnesium whereas we're we're born for more of a one to one ratio I say 600 milligrams of magnesium 600 milligrams of calcium Calum is so uh important for the body that it's It is Well absorbed from food I can eat a quart of yogurt over two three day day period and my heart palpitate will come back a little bit because the Magnesium is trying to push the calcium into bones and teeth and keep it from being in the blood what does calcium do in the blood among other things it's a blood clotter it's actually a blood clotting Factor so if you have high calcium levels you're going to be clotting you're going to have soft tissue calcification breast tissue calcification CIS is is breast tissue calcification heels Spurs uh gall stones kidney stones and atherosclerosis atherosclerosis I mean there's the you know at a bifurcation of a blood vessel you've got a vulnerable little little V connection there and if you don't have enough collagen which is produced by your vitamin C processing then and you'll get little tiny tears and rips and what does the body do it puts a little plug of cholesterol on that rip to help it out but it then if you've got calcium in the blood that calcium will precipitate on that cholesterol you get a cholesterol plaque and everybody says oh high cholesterol that's the problem yeah the most of those plaques are mostly calcium right that's a key part it's basically Scar Tissue formation forming in there and calcium is a key component with that now you were talking about calcium metabolism how important that is and magnesium plays a key role with that also vitamin d and vitamin K2 and they kind of all work together right vitamin D is not activated unless you have enough magnesium yeah so all these vitamin D studies oh it's a miracle no no it's a it's a Croc it's because when they do their research they're not looking at the Magnesium component or measuring the magnesium in these people so if you um if you even go out in the sun and and you know get a tan or a burn or whatever you can actually if you don't have enough magnesium yeah to to allow the sun to work with the cholesterol to make your vitamin D and then if you don't have enough magnesium you can start getting magnesium deficiency symptoms also this craziness of allopathic medicine all of a sudden getting on the vitamin D bandwagon and giving people 50,000 units of vitamin D2 that has really you know in some people they'll come back to me and say oh my gosh all my magnesium deficiency symptoms are gone what's going on and and I got to the point the first question I said did you did you start taking more vitamin D and I mean it it to to us you know it's obvious what's going on but to allopathic medicine I don't know what they do with people like that they just you know Pat them on the head and say well come back when you're worse yeah yeah I mean so vitamin D is key but you want to make sure you got magnesium on board that's key and and they work together to take the calcium out of the bloodstream appropriately putting it into the bones all the different tissues of the body so yeah they work hand inand and we find it in nature like you take something like um like for example um egg yolk egg yolk has got you know magnesium in there it's got vitamin D vitamin K2 you know it's all right in there in nature so when you're consuming that you're getting all of it together but David look what they did to to egg yolks they told people high in cholesterol cholesterol and started giving people egg white I mean it's it's it boggles us all the time yeah definitely backwards definitely not not the best approach for [Music] sure
