Avoid Mg glutamate and Mg aspartate. They contain ingredients that will "excite" the neurons...according to George Eby...author of the great Mg website and developer of zinc lozenges. Smart man!For example: Glutamate...think MSG...Chinese restaurant syndrome. Monosodium glutamate. Bad news. Added to a lot of foods to enhance the flavor. Read the labels!
Mg malate is good if you are storing aluminum. Malic acid chelates (removes) aluminum.
But...simplified...and CHEAPER!...Magnesium citrate. Citrates also INactivate PFK1 (as does hydrogen).
Tiny doses taken every hour do not cause diarrhea. Pain in the neck to remember every hour, but necessary!
Okay...the basics:
It appears 3 things are critical to healing:
1. Exercise. At the very least, daily walks. If unable, CoQ10 supplements may be needed. Doses in the range of 300 to 500mg daily (spaced!), according Dr. Howenstine. We normally MAKE CoQ10 when we exercise IF we have the ingredients to make it...including B6 which in turn needs additional Mg...
2. Diet. Obviously a vegetarian diet is the ideal (electromagnetically balanced). However, B12 must be supplemented (sublingual) 3x/week. If the person is unwilling to become a vegetarian, proteins should be eaten first to prevent an insulin spike (according to Dr. Perricone).
Finally, a low glycemic index diet is critical. Do not eat/drink anything that will cause an insulin spike (this ACTIVATES PFK). We are trying to regain control of this enzyme, slow down the glycolysis pathway and restore oxidative phosphorylation (using oxygen, not sugar, to make ATP - far healthier and healing).
3. Restoring the levels of magnesium. This won't be easy! The drop is HUGH very fast. In the U.S. we don't typically use IV Mg as a first line of treatment with the exception of status asthmaticus or the toxemia of pregnancy.
The ``type'' of Mg may important. Ideally, we would have access to Mg pyrophosphate (Valletta's patent), but we don't - to my knowledge. If the patient has reached the point where the ``bad metals'' are being stored, then Mg malate might be a good choice, since malic acid chelates aluminum. Mg malate should be taken with a VERY, very small amt. (!) of B6 (sublingual).
According to Valletta's patent, once again, it appears we need to MAINTAIN a slightly high level of Mg in the system for as many hours a day as possible. This means SMALL doses more frequently. At the very least, every 2 hours.
Since citrates also INactivate PFK (as do other things), Mg citrate may be the cheapest, most effective form. It is available OTC as a prep for a lower GI x-ray. The bottles (about $1.12) would last one month at ADULT doses of 1ml each for 8 doses per day. One ml = 58 mg. We could use an insulin syringe (minus the needle!) to measure these small doses.
When spaced out, it does not cause diarrhea. Looser stools may happen, but not diarrhea. This is important because we lose too many electrolytes and fluid when we have diarrhea.
When the bacteria are killed, whether it be from antibiotics reacting with our stored minerals to produce hydrogen, the above plan, or Rife therapy...these all will cause the release of ``toxins''. The outer cell walls of this pathogen contain proteins - chains of amino acids.
When the cell wall is destroyed, this will release the acids into the system and cause a ``herx'' response. Inflammation is triggered...ouch. It is important at those times to pay close attention to alkaline foods or perhaps use selenium to reduce, not eliminate completely, the pro inflammatory cytokine,TNF alpha.
In addition, it appears activated charcoal may help to absorb some of the toxins, reducing the load. If the system remains acidic, healthy cells can be damaged and additional minerals may be pulled out of storage to compensate also. Besides, Bb seems to ``dive for cover'' in the presence of acids.
Keep in mind, the body heals SLOWLY. Time, nature and patience...the three great healers.
This infection depletes our magnesium level, a LOT and fast (according to the Romanian abstract). Restore the balance to heal. Otherwise, this will downward spiral out of control and cause the eventual depletion of other electrolytes/minerals and vitamins.
Some facts (all documented) you need to be aware of:
Antibiotics:
1. Deplete (further) the minerals and vitamins
2. Modulate (change) our immune system response. I believe our body choses the best pathway and altering it may cause problems.
3. Destroy the friendly bacteria in our bowels which make many (acidic) vitamins for us as well as protect us from yeast problems.
You will have to take a lot of supplements to rebalance what happens above. Which ones, how often, how much...adds to the confusion and complexity.
Years ago, the "Universal remedy" was: Mg oxide, tannic acid and activated charcoal. We mess up tannic acid when we try to make it, but there are many healthy foods that contain tannins. Mg oxide is cheap, but often causes diarrhea probs. Activated charcoal is avail. OTC.
If you're rich, Mg citrate is avail. as troches (lozenges) in 58mg for $1.00 each. You need a Rx (why?)and people are purchasing them by the hundreds for other diseases. It's a new thing. There is a compounding pharmacy in PA making them. Still...at $8 a day...when a bottle costs $1.12 for a month supply...?
