The Internet has given me new information. Lactic acid which used to be blamed for tiredness has been redeemed by more recent studies. Cortisol , the stress hormone is not as bad as described in my old books in the 90s. This leads me to think how important it is for health care providers to continuously update themselves. I can imagine how my voice problem even my clinical depression in the 90s could have been remedied had my doctors or even myself known about the wonders of Magnesium.
I am grateful for the magnesium spray of Jean Netario Cruz which has significantly improved my walking, enough for me to dream that soon I will be able to walk without my cane. She has done a lot of research about magnesium but I would like to add what I have learned.
According to the “Essential Guide to Vitamins and Minerals and Herbal Supplements” (2010) : Few enzymes can work without it [magnesium] and magnesium is now known to help monitor healthy tissues, especially those in the muscles, lung airways, blood vessels and nerves. Lack of magnesium leads to cell death due to depletion of energy stores.
Magnesium could have prevented my frequent trips to the ER and hospital confinement in the 90s. The above 2010 book continues: One of the most important functions for magnesium is to maintain the integrity of ion pumps that control the flow of sodium, potassium, chloride and other salt components across cell membranes.
But an 80 year old doctor friend of ours would rather stick to pharmacologically driven medicine. He does not believe in Internet accessed researches. He would patronize only researches done by Harvard. I had to Google this because all the while I thought Harvard did not have a of college of medicine!
In fact he believes only in Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) When I complained against my present attending doctor he categorically told me to stick with this present physician. Our doctor friend wants my attending physician to take care of him when he is finally hospitalized.
