The Doctor-to-Doctor Radio Series continues today, November 5,  with a powerful medical doctor and health advocate that everyone will enjoy listening to and learning from.

Tonight Dr. Dean will be talking with Dr. Jason Fung. Dr. Fung grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and went to the University of Toronto at age 17 to begin studies in Biochemistry. By 23, Dr. Fung completed medical school at the U of T and began his Internal Medicine residency there. Finishing his specialty of Internal Medicine, Dr. Fung chose Nephrology (kidney disease) as his sub-specialty.

Dr. Fung started his career in Nephrology in Toronto where he still has both an office and hospital practice. Type 2 diabetes is by far and away the leading cause of kidney disease, and Dr. Fung treats many hundreds of patients with this disease. Many of his patients also suffer from obesity. By the early 2010s Dr. Fung\'s interest in nutrition, combined with his professional focus on obesity and Type 2 diabetes had led him directly to the diabesity puzzle.

Dr. Fung is solving his puzzle, one piece at a time and has become one of the world\'s most well-recognized experts on a world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes. He has written three best-selling health books and he co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program based in Toronto.

Dr. Fung joins us this evening with armed with valuable for every individual. WE ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE CHRONICALLY ILL! Dr. Fung brings a valuable perspective to the discussion of ALL inflammatory-related conditions and diseases along with practical solutions for all.

Adrenaline is like an unstable accelerant that gets you all revved up with no place to go! It’s not just a theory that stress causes magnesium deficiency and a lack of magnesium magnifies stress. Experiments, where adrenaline is given intravenously, show that it decreases magnesium as well as calcium, potassium, and sodium. This proves that when you are in a revved-up state and burning adrenaline, you are also burning off magnesium.

There are more than a dozen major metabolic processes that are affected by bursts of adrenaline, including heart rate, blood pressure, blood vessel constriction, and contraction of all muscles, including the heart. Each of these functions requires magnesium to bring them back into balance.

When the adrenals are stimulated to release adrenaline on a constant basis, due to long-term stress, they can become depleted and the release of adrenaline can become erratic. Some alternative medicine practitioners call this adrenal fatigue. However, according to allopathic medicine, the adrenals are either working just fine or collapsed, a condition called Addison’s disease, which is treated with prednisone; there is no in-between place and no in-between treatment.

According to Hans Selye, the Canadian doctor famous for his work on stress, magnesium is depleted when the body shifts from a short-term fight-or-flight reaction to a chronic stress reaction. The adrenal glands produce stress hormones.

One is norepinephrine, which acts like adrenaline and is more a short-term stress hormone. Another is cortisol, a steroid hormone in the glucocorticoid class of hormones. Humans produce it in the middle or zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex within the adrenal gland. It is released in response to chronic stress and low blood sugar. Elevated cortisol is an indication of chronic stress. Production of both norepinephrine and cortisol cause depletion of magnesium and both can be active at the same time.

Millions of people try unsuccessfully to cope with stress by taking pharmaceuticals or through addictive behaviors such as overeating, cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, or use of street drugs, among others. We are a nation suffering a 32 percent incidence of stress-related anxiety, depression, and drug problems. Instead of treating stress reactions properly with magnesium, each year millions of people are introduced to the merry-go-round of psychiatric drugs and psychological counseling for symptoms that may, in fact, be rooted in magnesium deficiency.

Have you or someone you love been advised to avoid iodine supplementation? Allopathetic doctors are most likely to make this recommendation followed by naturopathic doctors that don’t understand the role of iodine in the body.

The typical mistake with iodine supplementation is the shallow understanding that its only role is as a substrate for the formation of thyroid hormone. Not so. Every cell in the body needs iodine:

Iodine is required to prevent an attack from the sea of microbes they are surrounded by. Our bodies are saturated by 10 times more germs than human cells and iodine functions like chlorine in a pool keeping germs at bay. For example, white blood cells cannot effectively guard against infection without adequate amounts of iodine.

Iodine is responsible for the formation of the normal architecture of the glandular tissue, e.g. breast, thyroid, ovary, & prostate,

Iodine is utilized in the management of insulin and is effective in lowering blood sugar.

Elevates pH (Iodine is an alkalinizing agent)

Iodine is necessary for the production of all the hormones of the body (adrenals, ovaries, testicles, etc.)testicles

Therefore, much more iodine is needed than just for thyroid hormone formation!

Iodine has tremendous therapeutic actions at the cellular level – iodine can act as an alkalinizing agent, an Antibacterial, an Antiparasitic, an Antifungal an Antiviral and a Detoxifying agent

If you have been advised to take iodine by a doctor or medical professional, then you’ll want to take iodine that is fully absorbed at the cellular level and in a balanced dose along with the other minerals it requires for beneficial interactions in the body.

Tonight on our internet based radio show, we\'ll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Iodine - Proper Supplementation for Optimal Health along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the \'conflict\' in the \'conflict basis\' of disease and much more!!

Last year, Dr. Carolyn Dean launched the Total Body ReSet as a workable plan to provide the nutritional support individuals need to balance their body and experience optimal health.

Among the thousands of testimonials we’ve received for every type of condition or malady one of the most fun and inspiring has been Rodger J.’s story of weight loss – 140 pounds in a little over a year!

By starting with the Total Body ReSet, Rodger was able to gain control of his metabolism, his cravings, and his overall health, vitality and well-being!

When I wrote to Rodger and asked him how it all came together for him, this is what he wrote me:

Hi Ginney, here’s how I did it -  I take two teaspoons Re-Mag, one teaspoon Re-Myte, ReAline and sea salt in my drinking water daily. I also take 1/2 teaspoon No-Salt daily to help keep my electrolytes up. I take the Pico-Silver one teaspoon daily one week on, one week off. I started out using ReStructure as a meal substitute but since I am doing just one meal a day with no cravings and very little hunger, I\'m not using it at this time. I take RnA drops but just as the urge hits. My high weight was 355 pounds. My current weight is 215 pounds. My goal is 200 pounds. I\'m 6\'1\" tall so actually the 215 looks good on me. It\'s taken about a year and a half to get to where I am. I started out by moving breakfast to lunch and having a ReStructure shake for the lunch. I lost 55 pounds over 7 months just doing that. Then in January of this year, I added Keto. Lost 85 more pounds since then. Total of 140 pounds. Other than the Total Body ReSet, if I could add one thing that might help others, it is to bite the bullet. Cut out the sugar, lower the carbs, and don\'t cheat with snacks. Get over that hump so body is not craving the drug (sugar) that we\'ve been giving it for years and it all gets a lot easier. Your body is then perfectly happy munching all day on its own fat stores. People have a hard time believing me when I tell them I just don\'t get hungry. This from a guy who used to crave dessert after every meal including breakfast.

All of the elements of the Total Body ReSet have a wonderful impact on digestion, metabolism, insulin regulation, and satiety. Consider:

ReMag: Stabilized pico-ionic magnesium.

Magnesium and the B-complex vitamins activate enzymes that control digestion, absorption, and the utilization of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to help eliminate hypoglycemia, anxiety, and obesity.

Food craving, overeating, and weight gain occur because you are missing nutrients from processed food, so you just keep eating.

Magnesium allows insulin to usher glucose into cells, where it is involved in making energy for the body. Without enough magnesium both insulin and glucose become elevated. The excess glucose gets stored as fat and contributes to obesity. Having excess insulin puts you on the road toward diabetes.

The stress chemical cortisol signals a metabolic shutdown that makes losing weight almost impossible. Magnesium can effectively neutralize the effects of stress.

ReMyte: Stabilized pico-ionic minerals. This multiple mineral contains 9 minerals that support thyroid function. When your thyroid is under-functioning, your metabolism slows down causing weight gain.

ReAline: A Detox formula consisting of L-methionine, L-taurine, and several B vitamins in methylated and natural forms. Toxins collect inside fat cells, so when you are dieting and breaking down fat, these toxins can be released and require ReAline to help support several liver detoxification pathways. Customers tell us that ReAline is so effective that it helps metabolize alcohol, eliminating hangovers.

ReStructure: A high protein powder meal replacement for losing weight and balancing blood sugars. It’s also the perfect meal if you are on a yeast elimination diet. Mix with water, coconut milk, almond milk, your favorite juice, or blend in your favorite fruit.

RnA Drops: Many people experience the “wonders” of RnA Drops, which seem to affect everyone in a unique and individual way. They also help achieve the detached bliss state where you don’t have to worry about weight gain or toxicity and you just allow Total Body ReSet do its job.

Tonight on our internet based radio show, we\'ll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Weight Loss the Total Body ReSet Way along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the \'conflict\' in the \'conflict basis\' of disease and much more.

Did you know your body requires magnesium for proper detoxification of your cells?

Magnesium is a foundational nutrient on which detoxification systems depend for their function.  Without proper magnesium levels in the body, natural minerals like calcium can accumulate within your cells because magnesium deficiency causes cells to lose the ability to maintain normal mineral concentrations and exhibit toxic effects. The health of detoxification systems also is critical because exposure to environmental contaminants, synthetic chemicals, and pollution is a reality in our industrial world.

Magnesium is one of the best weapons in your arsenal against chemical toxicity!

Just how does magnesium support detox? First and foremost, magnesium’s major role in the production of energy (as ATP) puts magnesium at the top of the list when it comes to detox! After all, ATP provides your cells with the energy they require for pumping out toxins before, during, and after they accumulate.

It’s true! High levels of energy are needed for the function of sodium/potassium ATPase, the enzyme that uses this energy to pump sodium ions from cells and potassium ions into cells. Cells use ATPase as the pumping mechanism for transporting nutrients, preserving proper concentrations of minerals within cells (and extracellular fluid), and removing toxins.

Abundant highly absorbed magnesium that flows through the body’s pathways allows for the creation of energy needed to pump excess calcium from cells and thereby to maintain proper calcium to magnesium ratio within cells. Excess calcium in cells reduces the amount of available magnesium and rigidifies cell membranes, thereby reducing cell function. In addition, the entry of calcium into cells can overwhelm the capacity of ATPase to remove it.

When too much calcium enters into a cell, entry of magnesium is blocked, and the cell loses its ability to pump out calcium. When this occurs, the cell cannot transport nutrients, regulate its membrane, or preserve proper concentration gradients of minerals within itself or in the fluid outside its membrane (extracellular fluid).

Another aspect of magnesium’s role in detox is its impact on metals including aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, and nickel.

Maintaining sufficient levels of magnesium supports the body’s efforts to detoxify metals whether for day-to-day heavy metal detox (in order to prevent accumulation within cells), or when levels of metals have become extremely high (as in heavy metal poisoning) due to chronic or acute exposure.

For example, lead and cadmium are known to exert cumulative toxic effects on the heart and kidneys. Due to lead’s high toxicity, in cases of exposure lead detox is imperative. Magnesium appears to competitively inhibit uptake of both metals, especially when they are found together. One study found that increased intake of magnesium facilitates the elimination of lead and cadmium through urinary excretion.

It is also known that mercury dramatically increases excretion of magnesium from kidneys. It has been suggested that magnesium loss is responsible for kidney damage witnessed in mercury poisoning. That kidney damage may relate to magnesium losses in mercury poisoning appears likely given that the body’s demands for magnesium increase as metal toxicity rises.

Finally, magnesium plays a significant role in supporting the body’s antioxidant systems. An important aspect of detoxification with respect to antioxidant status is that magnesium helps prevent the accumulation of oxidative by-products within tissues.

It is known that magnesium deficiency causes accumulation of oxidative products in the liver, kidney, skeletal muscles tissues, and red blood cells. When antioxidant systems fail to function properly, increased free-radical activity creates oxidative products that damage tissues and cells, and can significantly reduce their function. By supporting optimal antioxidant activity within the body, magnesium helps reduce free-radical damage and thereby lessens harmful effects related to an excessive activity of oxygen radical species.
