Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009  Minerals - the Metabolic Miracle Workers by Dr Robert Erdman and Merion Jones is such an excellent book on this subject - probably published before 1988 which is in my copy so possibly a little out dated - but very well worth the read if you can find a copy - published by Century. They also wrote an excellent book on Vitamins as well as one called "The Amino Revolution" - I highly recommend them Jane - Tony De Angelis Wednesday, March 25, 2009 7:21 AM Re: Magnesium The 9.8 calcium level you mention is blood calcium which gives absolutely no indication of bone mineral content. A dexa-scan is a fair test to do but measures only "density" and not bone flexibility or strength. (A piece of glass may be denser than a piece of steel but it is not stronger) The amount of magnesium you need daily is about 200 mg twice daily and can be in many forms, most ending in 'ate". (lysinate, ascorbate, glycinate, aspartate, orotate, etc) However, citrates and gluconates are not as good as others. Oxides dissociate rapidly and enter the gut quickly where they pool water and cause loose stools. Great relief for constipation but not well absorbed into tissue. --- On Tue, 3/24/09, Hugh Ramsdell <hughman73 wrote: Hugh Ramsdell <hughman73Re: Magnesium Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2009, 2:33 AM A Dexascan will determine risk for osteoporosis. It is similar to an x-ray and not very expensive. I have a genetic condition which usually includes osteoporosis. I had a Dexascan and was found to be in great shape. I have never taken calcium.

I think I took about 800 mg of calcium maybe 600 I cannot remember, but I do remember the charley horses I got in my legs. The first thing I thought of was, well here goes a heart attack. I got 500 mg of magnesium right away as soon as I saw it was not going to quit. The Dr. does not know this, one thing also the reading of my calcium was 9.8 and the high number on the chart was 10.3 that looks like to me enough calcium. Another thing he mentioned was Osteoporosis. I do not think I am in danger of this. He also told me to take vite D 2,000 units of it. I have things wrong but not this. Does anyone know anything about Reservatol?? ? he did also say my cholesterol was a bit high and he could give me meds for that. He allready knows I do not take those things so maybe it was a joke. An other thing I have not read anywhere the amount of Mag. to take. I do also have liquid so I will get enough. I have also heard the only right kind is the one with ate at the end of the word. sharon Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
