Introduction
The fact remains that many of us suffer for months and years from chronic conditions, which no one seems to detect the source of (not even the so-called experts). With all the myriad of solutions we have sought, only a lucky handful amongst us realize that the true source of these conditions lies with magnesium deficiency (which as explained later, most magnesium supplements don't seem to work for). Many of the conditions I listed before are caused primarily by magnesium deficiency. As for the rest of the conditions, magnesium deficiency is a chief contributing factor. This information may bring new hope to those who have already grown hopeless about improving their condition. These conditions are correctable.
90-95% of the population is deficient including many of those who supplement magnesium regularly. The majority may still think that regular magnesium supplements will fix magnesium deficiency. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Read on to understand this in full, and why water-soluble magnesium is the answer. After reading this data you will become your own expert on how to handle a magnesium deficiency, which strikes most of our unknowing population. This data is vital for everybody to know. It has changed the lives of many. It may change your own as well.
The Breakthrough
The improper use of magnesium among health professionals and the population in general, is deeply responsible for many of the failures encountered daily in treating chronic health conditions nationwide.
Discovery Number 1:
The symptoms listed above are normally caused by MAGNESIUM deficiency, NOT calcium deficiency.
Discovery Number 2:
Calcium needs magnesium to assimilate, and will naturally deplete magnesium storages. Magnesium, on the other hand, does not depend on calcium and works on its own. Magnesium is FAR more important than calcium.
Discovery Number 3:
Excess calcium in the body is, as a result, one of the major causes of magnesium deficiency and disease. Excess calcium is responsible for many of the above-mentioned conditions!
Lack of sufficient magnesium in the body will make calcium toxic and disease causing (magnesium has 16 major factors that deplete it). Excess calcium is today one of the major causes of heart dificulties, kidney malfunction, fatigue, sleep dificulties, muscle cramps, weakening of bone structure, acelerated aging, moodyness, and much more.
Discovery Number 4:
Sufficient magnesium will allow calcium to assimilate, as well as dissolve and discharge calcium deposits in the body.
Discovery Number 5:
Most magnesium calcium supplements on the market are incorrectly proportioned and only make things worse.
Discovery Number 6:
Nothing will work faster in bringing relief to the conditions listed above as will water-soluble magnesium powder taken WITHOUT any calcium. The astounding results attained today by hundreds of successful doctors using Natural Calm will attest to that.
The Importance
Learn more about the Author, Peter Gillham
Magnesium is the most important major mineral that is needed by your body. In order to function correctly and efficiently your body needs many nutrients. But if it is deficient in magnesium, there are over 300 biochemical reactions that either won't occur at all or will occur very inefficiently. Somewhat like a car functioning with dirty battery terminals.
Also, magnesium is necessary for the correct assimilation of calcium and potassium and the correct and efficient functioning of enzymes. As you can imagine, without magnesium your body is going to be performing at very much less than full capacity. A deficiency in magnesium can go from slight to very severe and your body will be signaling to you that it is in trouble: SOS . . . HELP!
Body Symptoms
These signals are in the form of body symptoms. A slight deficiency and you will notice slight depression and lack of well-being. The body is telling you, Help, I'm in trouble. Then you start getting headaches, pain in the lower back, stiff, tight muscles, particularly in the back. The body is telling you, I'm in worse trouble, help me! Now!
But you ignore these messages. You haven't learnt to read and decipher them. You seek professional advice and . . . Well, you know what they advise.
Time goes by and now you start getting muscle cramps, then calcium deposits, muscle twitches and tics, high blood pressure. You ignore it and don't do anything about these signals.
You start to get nervous; you jump at sudden sounds. You have never been this way before. You are told that you are getting old, that you can expect this sort of thing. You now have trouble sleeping and continually wake up feeling tired. Your body goes into spasms (involuntary and abnormal muscular contractions) and jerks. Your body is calling out, You idiot, I need help now! Get some magnesium drink and take it night and morning!
Don't Ignore Warning Signals
You ignore these signals. Next, you find yourself with a chest pain, called angina pectoris. You ignore this also, and no one else seems to know what is causing it. You never did learn how to take care of your own body and have always left it to the so-called experts. These experts don't know either.
The next thing that happens is suddenly your heart starts racing. It goes out of rhythm. You dont know what to do and neither does anyone else. Then one day you have been out working hard physically, or under stress, and all of a sudden you have a heart attack. Your body is telling you, I am in real trouble; I am almost at the end of the line. I need magnesium urgently and fast. NOW! So learn from me: The body is crying out for magnesium. It is deficient in magnesium. It cannot function unless it has sufficient of this mineral.
I know this seems too simple.
Test it for Yourself
Prove me wrong. But in the test, use the correct magnesium product&emdash;otherwise you won't get the required results.
How important is magnesium? It is so important that your body won't function well with even a slight deficiency, and with a severe deficiency you could end up with a heart attack. So you tell me. Is magnesium important enough for you to learn about and consume?
Key Nutrient
Magnesium is an essential nutrient. It is necessary for every major biochemical process, such as digestion, protein synthesis, cellular energy production and glucose metabolism. Magnesium is also needed for bone strength, muscle strength and heartbeat, as well as the functioning of the nervous system. Over three hundred biochemical and bioelectric reactions depend on magnesium to occur. Without these taking place efficiently, the body is in trouble and so are you.
If you do not have sufficient magnesium, the body will not work properly and you will end up with the symptoms described earlier. By your drinking a good magnesium drink, these symptoms will gradually and mysteriously disappear. This will occur even if you only take a small amount of it.
Deficiency is Common
Contrary to common belief, magnesium deficiency is very common even among those who supplement it regularly. The reason for this is that the stress of modern lifestyle depletes magnesium reserves far more rapidly than was previously realized.
Activates Other Minerals
All other major minerals are dependent upon magnesium being present in order to function.
The major minerals are magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium. Of these, magnesium is by far the most important.
Magnesium versus Calcium
Calcium, a major mineral, needs magnesium in order to assimilate into the body. Calcium, however, should never be taken on its own. Otherwise, it will pull magnesium out of body parts in order to assimilate. This creates a greater magnesium deficiency and the person will feel worse. This occurs with people who drink milk. Milk is about 8 calcium to 1 magnesium and it will create a magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium regulates the entrance and utilization of calcium in the cells. Without magnesium, calcium remains in the body unused. This will result in calcium deposits in the joints (often called arthritis), gallstones, kidney stones, and in extreme cases calcification of the brain and other body organs and parts. This, in turn, results in loss of memory and loss of ability to reason and eventually the termination of life. All of these conditions have frequently been known to disappear after taking extra magnesium, especially the drink form.
Again, magnesium and calcium must be in the correct proportions, otherwise the calcium becomes a pollutant in the body causing heart disease, arthritis, hardening of the arteries, senility, osteoporosis, and calcification of organs and tissues as described earlier, which could eventually completely degenerate these organs and tissues. From this you can deduce that it is contra survival to take calcium without magnesium. The rule is "Never take calcium without magnesium. Calcium depends on magnesium for it to assimilate. Magnesium, on the other hand, doesn't require calcium in order to function. In fact, in many cases, magnesium taken on its own without any calcium will help you feel younger, more energetic, stronger, and give you a multitude of other benefits, all as a result of the magnesium being present to do its job.
What Depletes It?
Let's take a look at what depletes magnesium: Modern stresses, whether chemical, environmental or mental, frequently deplete magnesium reserves (which are often depleted faster than calcium reserves). This can cause a magnesium deficiency and the resultant symptoms of internal stress, even when the person does take magnesium supplements if he takes more calcium than magnesium (which is very common). Extra magnesium can often mean the difference between a stressed body and a completely relaxed one. Magnesium depletion is a highly important issue, which will be crucial to understand. The following are Magnesium Depletors. Learn them well and apply accordingly. The more dominant they are in your life, the more magnesium your body will need. These items dramatically speed up the depletion of your body's magnesium storage, and make it necessary for much more magnesium to be consumed:
1. Mental stress,
2. Physical stress,
3. Coffee,
4. Sugar,
5. High sodium diet,
6. Alcohol,
7. Cola-type sodas,
8. Tobacco,
9. High perspiration,
10. Medical drugs of all types,
11. Low thyroid,
12. Chronic pain,
13. Diuretics,
14. A high carbohydrate diet
15. A high calcium diet.
Calcium? Yes. Can too much calcium be a problem? More than you ever thought possible. Differently put, excess calcium can become a real problem. Excess magnesium, on the other hand, is impossible. Excess calcium combined with low magnesium will create osteoporosis and fragile bones.
The Proof?
Here is an amazing example: What country has the highest rate of milk consumption? That's right, it is America. Now another question: What country has the highest consumption rate of calcium supplements? That's right, the answer is again America. So obviously, you would say, America must have the lowest occurrence of osteoporosis (calcium loss) of all countries, right? Believe it or not, the truth is the exact opposite! We have the highest rate! Why? Taking more calcium will not fix a calcium deficiency, which is quite evident from the statistics. Yet more magnesium will handle the calcium deficiency as well as the magnesium deficiency itself.
Doctors' Feedback
Dr. Chuck Olds D.C.&emdash;
"I have NEVER been so Impressed with Any Other Product".
"In the last 10 years of working with nutrition as a chiropractor, I have NEVER seen such a favorable patient response like I have seen with your Natural CALM product. I have patients calling in less than 24 hours after their first dose raving about how wonderful the product is. Patients are reporting that they sleep better, have more energy than they have had in years and that even their tight shoulders that they have always had are perfectly relaxed now. This is all in addition to their feeling of general well being! Numerous times a patient has come back within a few days and purchased 3 or 4 more bottles of Natural Calm for friends and family who are not patients-that is yet!! I have recommended nutritional products from some of the best and most expensive nutritional companies on the market.
I have NEVER been so impressed with any other product. Natural Calm is the number one nutritional supplement both with me and my patients."

Magnesium vs Calcium:
Which product should you use?
We are frequently asked about when to use our various magnesium & calcium drinks. The following serves as a general guideline.
Our 3 basic formulas are:
1. Natural Calm (magnesium only, 615mg elemental per serving).
2. Cal-Mag Plus (high magnesium 319mg, low calcium 118mg, potassium 171mg).
3. CalMag (high calcium 488mg, low magnesium 244mg).
The first product (Natural Calm) doesn't contain any calcium and is always the first product to start a patient on. Many people will never require any other product. Products 2 & 3 contain calcium but in different proportions.
Different Folks = Different Proportions: Always keep in mind that different people require different calcium-magnesium ratios. Some require only magnesium (Natural Calm), some high magnesium and little calcium (Cal Mag Plus) and some high calcium, low Magnesium (CalMag).
Please refer to this guideline for quick answers. For a more detailed description please read the Extended Guideline on the next page. It is noteworthy that the article Miracles In Minutes is recommended for prior reading.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Guideline
Which product should you use and when do you switch to another one?
Another common question is: "when do I need to start taking calcium"? This, of course, will depend on the person's needs (i.e. if a person cannot assimilate calcium, supplemental calcium could be harmful). Many people will do best with Natural Calm on a regular basis; others will need the CalMag Plus, while others need to periodically switch between Natural Calm and one of the Calcium/magnesium formulas (to ensure proper calcium balance is maintained). A detailed description will follow under each product's header.
So when do you change the existing formula?
You change the existing formula ONLY if (1) the person gets no benefits from it or (2) it introduces new symptoms.
As long as a person does well on any given formula, he should be left on it.
This is your basic guideline on which product to select. If you seek more detailed information refer to the Extended Guideline as covered on the next page.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended Guideline
Natural Calm
If a person is experiencing the symptoms of magnesium deficiency such as sleep difficulties, body tension, fatigue, muscle spasms or stiffness, heart conditions, PMS, depression, dispersal, diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, nervousness, constipation, Natural Calm should be the first formula to use. The rule is: whenever a person manifests any number of major symptoms, Natural Calm is always the first product to start with. Most of these symptoms are magnesium deficiency and Natural Calm will correct the deficiency faster and more effectively than any other formula available today.
Starting to use Natural Calm & symptoms turn up - Some people who are heavily deficient in magnesium may go through a major healing crisis as the magnesium will set off as many as 300 processes occurring in the body all at once. In these cases, the person should start with much less, maybe just a pinch, and as the body can handle greater amounts, the dosage can be gradually increased.
Cal-Mag Plus
This formula is switched to when lack of calcium causes the following manifestations:
Using Natural Calm & new symptoms turn up - On occasion, after a certain period of using Natural Calm, a person may be caught up entirely on his magnesium deficiency. When this happens the exclusive use of Natural Calm may induce a re-occurrence of some symptoms. Should this happen, it is because all of the calcium in the body has been assimilated and the person is now ready for fresh calcium to keep in balance. Balance is the key here. Cal Mag Plus should be the first choice. But if symptoms persist, CalMag is the right formula.
Using Natural Calm & symptoms persist - If Natural Calm is used for a while and some of the symptoms still persist, it is now time to provide the person with calcium by switching to CalMag Plus and seeing if the switch makes the desirable difference. In the event of only a slight improvement with some symptoms still left, switching to CalMag (higher calcium) is advisable.
CalMag
Use this formula when a person fails to get results from Natural Calm or Cal Mag Plus. This formula is best suited to anyone who does not have a magnesium deficiency but has a calcium deficiency. A calcium deficiency can create similar symptoms. Remember, for some people, taking magnesium too long exclusively, may create a calcium deficiency.
Again, even with CalMag, always be alert to any symptoms appearing when it comes to long-term use. For some people this formula, used too long, could create calcium excess again, so check periodically, to see if an occasional switch to Natural Calm is necessary.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of all 3 formulas
Please note that the purposes of all of the above formulas is to regulate calcium/magnesium levels in the body. Needs may vary during different stages of one's life. Whenever possible, we recommend kinesiology testing to determine the right formula.
Many people can't tolerate high calcium supplements (short or long term) and react to it adversely. For such people magnesium alone or CalMag Plus will do a much better job regulating calcium levels in the body (magnesium is what makes calcium active, as well as ridding the body of excess calcium, which is toxic).
Caution: Never put people on high calcium "because they are old" or "because they need to get calcium". Too much calcium, when inappropriately prescribed (common practice) can deplete magnesium and that will cause a host of new symptoms. Use ONLY what makes them feel better.
Form: Natural Calm comes in a powder and is prepared as a tea (see How to Use for more info)
Ingredients: Water Soluble Magnesium Citrate, and nothing else (205mg of elemental magnesium per teaspoon). Manufacturered using a proprietary process exclusive to Natural Vitality. Contains NO yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, soy, wheat, sugar, starch, preservatives, artificial colors or flavoring.
Serving Size: 1-3 teaspoons (product label explains exactly how to monitor appropriate dosage).
Effectiveness: What makes Natural Calm so special over other forms of magnesium supplements is that it is water soluble and assimilates instantly and thoroughly, and works even in cases of highly impaired digestion.
Doctors and clinics: Natural Calm is used by over 1,000 doctors and health clinics nationwide with great success.
How to Use Natural Calm
Preparation: As you can read from the label, Natural Calm is made as a tea by placing the powder in hot water to dissolve. Cold water can be added at will for instant drinking.
How much? It is important to understand that individual needs will vary. Some individuals will need more Natural Calm than others. We recommend that you start with 1 teaspoon daily, and increase your dose up to the point of loose stools. This will be the dose you will need to maintain for regular use.
The final amount taken could range anywhere from a 1/4 teaspoon to 3-4 teaspoons. This could be taken all at once or split to 2-3 smaller dosages throughout the day.
Diarrhea: If you get diarrhea, it is a sign that you used too high a dose, and you need to cut it back to the point where the diarrhea does not reappear.
What about kids? the same applies as before. Start with a small amount and increase. We recommend starting with 1/4 a teaspoon and increasing, depending on the kids physical size. If they are 10 years old they can often handle up 1/2 - 1 teaspoon.

Nutritionist Peter Gillham's research on minerals warns that too much calcium may be deadly.
Los Angeles CA - March 19, 2003 -- The following is being issued by Peter Gillham. "There is a mindset today that people need a lot of calcium. This mindset is creating disease," according to Peter Gillham, a clinical nutritionist, educator and pioneer in the field of nutritional research. "This misconception drives consumers to consume excess amounts of calcium which can be deadly when taken without its partner, magnesium."
Taking all this calcium without sufficient magnesium is leaving it unactivated. This imbalance is the cause of much disease and health trauma. Calcium needs its partner "magnesium" to do its job and assimilate correctly. Some symptoms of a calcium-magnesium imbalance are: headaches, insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure, fatigue, extreme tension, depression, nervousness and worst of all heart disease.
A study done at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, revealed that magnesium is crucial to balance the actions of calcium. And that magnesium widens the arteries in the heart essentially lowering blood pressure and maintaining healthy blood flow to the heart.
Some 20 million people take calcium supplements, which is big business. Marketers, taking advantage of consumer fears about osteoporosis, have flooded the market with hundreds of calcium-enriched products. This has created a dangerous imbalance and many people are paying for it with their health. People need equal amounts of magnesium in order to keep up with the calcium intake.
"Lack of calcium may not kill people, but lack of magnesium is in fact a leading cause of death in our nation," according to Gillham. Why? "It is the underlying cause of heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure and many other diseases. Scores of people can't tolerate high calcium supplements and react to it adversely." Both minerals are extremely vital to life, however it is magnesium that makes calcium active, and regulates it. Taking magnesium, particularly in water soluble form restores the balance and causes health resurgence. "Mother nature always puts magnesium where ever calcium is found, marketers need to start doing the same," said Gillham.
"Excess calcium can become a real problem," said Gillham, who has spent decades researching nutrition. "America has the highest rate of consumption of milk and calcium supplements. So obviously, America must have the lowest occurrence of osteoporosis (calcium loss) of all countries, right? Wrong! America has the highest rate! Why? Excess calcium combined with low magnesium. Taking more calcium will not fix a calcium deficiency. However, more magnesium will handle the calcium deficiency as well as the magnesium deficiency."
The population in general is running at an all time high on nervousness and irritability. Aside from obvious political situations, there is an underlying nutritional imbalance, which aggravates this. Magnesium is also known as "Natures Tranquilizer", it also provides a "refreshed" feeling due to completing metabolic processes. Magnesium can often be difficult to find and absorb properly. This is what led to the discovery of the product, "Natural Calm" from Natural Vitality, available at health food and vitamin stores. A formula which Gillham was the first to discover and has received humanitarian awards for.
"There is only one way to get a magnesium supplement to absorb properly into the body. I developed a formula with superior absorption and discovered the only method of doing this. We have been amazed at the results. The world needs more 'Calm', that is for sure".
