Hi Mia,
Your post: Americans consume about 800 milligrams of calcium daily (milk drinkers may get 1200-1500 mgs from their diet alone), but only consume about 275 milligrams of magnesium. Thus the dominance of calcium over magnesium produces symptoms of muscle spasm. Migraines, eyelid twitch, heart flutters, back aches, premenstrual tension, leg cramps and constipation are all linked to calcum overload. Excessive calcium may also result in kidney stones (1 in 11 Americans) and heart valve calcifications (mitral valve, 1 in 12 Americans). A significant percentage of American adults consume more than 2000 milligrams of daily calcium, the point where side effects of overdosage begin to be reported.
More than 300,000 sudden-death heart attacks are reported annually in the US (more than 80 per day) which are believed to be related to excessive calcium and a shortage of magnesium. Modern medicine's answer to the problem is to prescribe billions of dollars of calcium-blocker drugs. Magnesium is a natural calcium blocker, but this goes unrecognized by most physicians. Researchers warn that adults who consume excessive amounts of caffeine or alcohol, or who take water pills (diuretics), are prone to experience irregular heart beats and should consume more magnesium. The same is true for diabetics and people with low thyroid. Most Americans consume tap water that has been softened (sodium added) which worsens the problem. American adults need to supplement their diet with 200-400 milligrams of magnesium. The only side effect of too much magnesium is loose stool. Reducing dosage resolves this problem.

Answer: Let us address this Deception: Quote--"Thus the dominance of calcium over magnesium produces symptoms of muscle spasm. Migraines, eyelid twitch, heart flutters, back aches, premenstrual tension, leg cramps and constipation are all linked to calcum overload."--
The way this is worded may Cause many folks to think that Calcium is Bad for them?
Now for those who have just a Little bit of Common Sewnse left in their Brains, let us consider what would Happen if we reversed the roles and had a shortage of Calcium and only Magnesium?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
No Bones, Our Tissue may Putrify, Cramps, our cells cannot reproduce, thus Death shall come about, Blood cannot clot if we get cut, so we Bleed to Death, etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
What is Important is our body needs All of the needed Alkaline Minerals within ranges of certain ratios to each other for us to stay Healthy or Heal from Sickness and Disease !
Why would someone use this terminology: --Thus the dominance of calcium over magnesium produces symptoms--
----When our bodys must have more Calcium in ratio to the amount of Magnesium to the tune of about 2 times more Calcium than Magnesium is needed for us to stay Healthy?----
Follow the Money trail and learn the Truth !
Who wrote the article and what are they Selling?
It is all about the needed Balanced ratios, which one may find in Natural In Season Top Quality foods, which come from Plants that are smart enough to Automatically Balance out what our body need to keep us Healthy !
No need to try to Micro-manage our Healing or Health, just learn to Live in Harmony with Nature and most all of our problems may be Solved !
How much Simpler can it be????????????????????
Why worry about this ratio or that ratio etc?
K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple Stupid !
#1 problem: Folks have rejected God and Refused his advice to eat the Green herbs of the field, thus we do not get enough Calcium or Magnesium, as both come from Green Herbs of the field in the correct ratios when Top Quality in Season !
Cause and Effect !
Choose Life or Death this Day !
Smile Tis your choice.
