Minerals play a huge part in the rehabilitation of two major hormone systems in the body. The three major hormone systems in the body: adrenals, thyroid and sex hormones, I refer to as a three-sided stool. When one of the legs of the stool is shortened, it affects the other two. This can be seen on blood testing; when cortisol levels go up, thyroid hormone levels go down.

There is an ongoing debate among natural medicine practitioners about what comes first, adrenal fatigue or thyroid insufficiency and what do you treat first? Dr. Dean has commented that think it’s a moot point because they are often not looking at one of the main causes of both conditions – mineral deficiency, which means you can treat the two conditions simultaneously.

The standard treatment for thyroid, even for natural medicine practitioners, is to give thyroid replacement therapy. It may be the more natural form of Armour thyroid, but it’s still treating with hormones instead of treating the reason the thyroid became weakened in the first place. An overwhelming number of our customers now agree -  most low thyroid conditions are caused by mineral deficiency.

Treating disease in a linear format, one thing at a time is not consistent with the way the body works, where everything is interrelated and works synergistically.

It’s usually agreed that the most common reasons for adrenal fatigue and dysfunction are poor diet, mineral deficiency, intense emotional stress, chronic inflammation and an underactive thyroid. But what’s causing the inflammation and underactive thyroid, and what diet is feeding into the problem?

Since Dr. Dean has worked closely with Candida (yeast) overgrowth for decades, she knows a poor diet of refined sugars, high gluten wheat, and processed dairy feeds yeast. Diet, antibiotics, and cortisol from acute and chronic emotional stress cause yeast overgrowth.

There are 178 different yeast toxins that are produced by yeast in their life cycle. These toxins are absorbed into the bloodstream and lead to a chronic inflammatory state that can cause arthritis, chronic fatigue, and pain. Magnesium and molybdenum help detoxify yeast toxins. Some yeast toxins can directly block thyroid function and possibly adrenal function as well. The best anti-inflammatory agent available to the body is magnesium. When magnesium is depleted because of being overused, adrenal fatigue symptoms continue unabated.

The treatment for adrenal fatigue begins with sodium, which is vitally important for proper adrenal function. If your adrenal glands are weak or depleted as indicated by exhaustion, low blood pressure and chronic stress, there is a combined sodium and magnesium depletion. If you start taking large doses of magnesium without replacing sodium, you may feel even worse.  Dr. Dean recommends ¼ tsp of sea salt in every quart of drinking water. How much water? Half your body weight in ounces of water.

The best diet for the adrenals is a yeast-free diet avoiding sugar, wheat, and dairy to cut down on the body-wide inflammation that yeast produces. Magnesium will also treat inflammation. The adrenals are supported with food-based Vitamin C Complex and Vitamin B Complex like ReAline.

The other key ingredient to adrenal health is plenty of rest. Dr. Dean calls it “Lying Down Therapy.” Please don’t think you can “tough it out” and just “muscle your way through” adrenal fatigue. That’s the worst thing you can do. You may require 8-10 hours of sleep and naps to fully recover. It’s extremely important to take care of your adrenals because they are responsible for the production of more than 50 hormones that are essential for proper body function.

Extra sleep, rest, sea salt and high dose magnesium work to help alleviate adrenal fatigue. But it’s also important to face the cause of your stress and realize your body may be producing physical symptoms as a result of this stress.

Adrenal stress causes loss of minerals, across the board, that need to be replaced.  Dr. Dean recommends ReMag for magnesium and ReMyte for its 12 minerals. As noted above, Dr. Dean also recommends ¼ tsp of sea salt in each quart of drinking water for the dozens of trace minerals in salt.

Some practitioners suggest that you have to take DHEA and pregnenolone for adrenal repair but Dr. Dean has some more simple suggestions. Instead of immediately jumping to hormone replacement, let’s use the proper building blocks to make our own hormones. For example, transdermal magnesium using ReMag Lotion on the skin will stimulate DHEA receptors. You need cholesterol to make hormones like pregnenolone and for cholesterol so you need good fats such as olive oil and coconut oil.

The third requirement for making your own hormones is properly functioning enzyme systems. And we know that in order for enzyme systems to function properly you need lots of bioavailable magnesium.

An underactive thyroid, as one of the triggers for adrenal fatigue, has its own list of causes that include thyroid receptor blockage due to yeast toxins. So, the diet for an underactive thyroid is the same as for adrenal fatigue. Six minerals in ReMyte that support thyroid function include iodine, selenium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.

The sex hormones, are also supported by minerals and the proper function of the thyroid and adrenals. DHEA stimulation by transdermal magnesium will stimulate the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

If you suffer from adrenal fatigue and thyroid insufficiency, the information in his blog is enough to get you started on the road to recovery.

Another step you can take is to tune into our weekly radio show tonight. You\'re not alone on your journey to Wellville and the inspiration and encouragement you may require are readily available through our radio community.

Tonight  Dr. Dean will be talking with Dr. Christiane Northrup, a visionary pioneer and a leading authority in the field of women’s health and wellness, which includes the unity of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Internationally known for her empowering approach to women’s health and wellness, Dr. Northrup teaches women how to thrive at every stage of life.

What is wonderful about Dr. Northrup is that she is so similar to our own Dr. Dean, meaning clearly she “walks her talk.”  Dr. Northrup put her own personal truth on paper in 1994, with the first edition of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.  This groundbreaking classic quickly became a New York Times bestseller and has been the veritable bible of women’s health for nearly two decades.

In addition to providing relevant, information and timeless medical information Dr. Northrup is also focused on the emotional aspects of health and wellness. Our emotions and thoughts are always accompanied by biochemical reactions in our bodies, which create our states of health over time, says Dr. Northrup.

Supporting her thesis of the impact of emotions and energy fields on health, Dr. Northrup has written a new book Energy Vampires - An Empaths Guide to Evading Relationships that Drain You.

In this book Dr. Northrup shares how to:

Learn to Identify People Who Drain Your Energy

Understand Your Own Energy and Why You Must Protect it

Discover Techniques to Heal Emotionally & Physically

Restore Your Health and Personal Power

As a doctor, health advocate, educator and leader in the women\'s health field for many years, Dr. Dean is thrilled to have Dr. Christiane Northrup on the show for the Doctor to Doctor segment. With so much in common and so much to share this show is going to be wonderfully informative and inspiring, to say the least!

Twenty-five million Americans suffer from migraines. Statistically, more women experience migraines than men, especially in the twenty-to-fifty-year-old age group. The following biochemical events involving low magnesium have been identified in migraine sufferers and may set the stage for a migraine attack:

In women who have not yet reached menopause, estrogen rises before the period, causing a shift of blood magnesium into bone and muscle. As a result, magnesium levels in the brain are lowered.

When magnesium is low, it is unable to do its job to counteract the clotting action of calcium in the blood. Tiny blood clots are said to clog up brain blood vessels, leading to migraines. Several other substances that help create blood clots are increased when magnesium is too low.

Similarly, magnesium inhibits excess platelet aggregation, preventing the formation of tiny clots that can block blood vessels and cause pain.

Low brain magnesium promotes neurotransmitter hyperactivity and nerve excitation that can lead to headaches.

Several conditions that trigger migraines are also associated with magnesium deficiency, including pregnancy, alcohol intake, diuretic drugs, stress, and menstruation.

Magnesium relaxes blood vessels and allows them to dilate, reducing the spasms and constrictions that can cause migraines.

Magnesium regulates the action of brain neurotransmitters and inflammatory substances, which may play a role in migraines when unbalanced.

Magnesium relaxes muscles and prevents the buildup of lactic acid, which, along with muscle tension, can worsen head pain.

A group of 3,000 patients given a low dose of 200 mg of magnesium daily had an 80 percent reduction in their migraine symptoms. This 2001 study did not have a control group, so the results could be questioned, but it aroused a great deal of excitement and triggered a flurry of research on magnesium and migraines. Much of that research was done by Dr. Alexander Mauskop, director of the New York Headache Center, working with Drs. Bella and Burton Altura, who have been studying migraines and migraine treatments for many years. This research team consistently found that magnesium is deficient in people with migraines and many other types of headaches and, even more important, that supplementing with magnesium alleviated headaches.

Another research team, using 300 mg of magnesium twice a day, treated eighty-one patients who suffered ongoing migraine headaches. The frequency of migraines was reduced by 41.6 percent in the magnesium group but by only 15.8 percent in a control group that received a placebo. The number of migraine days and drug consumption for pain also decreased significantly in the magnesium group. The researchers concluded that high-dose oral magnesium appears to be effective in migraine treatment and prevention.

In 2012, Dr. Mauskop had sufficient clinical success and had published enough about treating migraine with magnesium to title his paper “Why All Migraine Patients Should Be Treated with Magnesium.”  Dr. Mauskop enthused that “all migraine sufferers should receive a therapeutic trial of magnesium supplementation.” As he explains, “A multitude of studies have proven the presence of magnesium deficiency in migraine patients.” Double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have produced mixed results, but, as Dr. Mauskop writes, this is “most likely because both magnesium deficient and non-deficient patients were included in these trials.

Unlike other research papers that hem and haw when it comes to conclusions, Dr. Mauskop’s paper makes a declarative statement: “Considering that up to 50% of patients with migraines could potentially benefit from this extremely safe and very inexpensive treatment, it should be recommended to all migraine patients.”

Tonight on our internet based radio show, we\'ll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Magnesium and Migraine Mechanisms 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!!

We take sleep for granted—until we start losing it! If you are experiencing the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep you may have insomnia. Because different people need different amounts of sleep, insomnia is defined by the quality of your sleep and how you feel after sleeping—not the number of hours you sleep or how quickly you doze off. Even if you’re spending eight hours a night in bed, if you feel drowsy and fatigued during the day, you may be experiencing insomnia.

There are countless causes of insomnia and many of them are either due to a magnesium deficiency or treatable with a highly absorbed magnesium supplement. Insomnia is actually one of the first symptoms to be alleviated with magnesium therapy and even people who sleep well report deeper, more satisfying sleep when they are saturating their body with magnesium. There is a saying in magnesium circles that the mineral is so effective that if a person complains that magnesium isn’t helping them sleep, then they just haven’t taken enough.

There is a long list of magnesium wasters and insomnia inducers that are interwoven - numerous medications, caffeine, alcohol, heart disease, pounding heartbeat, night time cortisol surges, RLS [restless leg syndrome], pain, hormone shifts, fear, stress, anxiety, heartburn, constipation, depression, dementia, OCD, ADHD, arthritis, and poor recovery from either provoke or indicate a magnesium deficiency.

There are many sleep studies that confirm the effectiveness of magnesium supplementation. Because doctors are inundated with pharmaceutical sales representatives, they don’t have to time pour through the published research on effective magnesium supplementation so their patients are more likely to get a drug than an effective highly absorbed magnesium product to alleviate their sleeplessness. If a doctor does recommend a magnesium product they reference magnesium oxide, which may partially work but usually causes an extreme laxative effect, and often the patient discontinues the treatment. Fortunately, using ReMag solves that problem!

In 1993, Dr. Jean Durlach, a preeminent magnesium expert in France, summed up the existing research on magnesium and aging. On tonight\'s show, we talk about those seven points and how to use highly absorbed saturation doses of magnesium to support the cellular processes that keep you young, vital and alive!

Magnesium plays many important roles in the structure and the function of the human body. The adult human body contains about 25 grams of magnesium. Over 60% of all the magnesium in the body is found in the skeleton, about 27% is found in muscle, 6% to 7% is found in other cells, and less than 1% is found outside of cells.

WOW – why does the body require so much darned magnesium? Well, it turns out that magnesium is not only producing necessary enzymes and working in the mitochondria to make ATP but magnesium is also necessary for protein synthesis at the ribosomal level. The ribosomes are the cellular organelles where proteins are synthesized. Magnesium “activates” the amino acids involved and allows the mRNA to attach to the ribosomes. Magnesium is also found in the nucleus of the cell and is essential for the stability of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA. If DNA and RNA structure do not remain stable you may have mutations in the codes and produce incorrect peptides are none at all during protein synthesis. Energy for the production of proteins must come from ATP as well. Without magnesium available in many areas of the cell, protein synthesis cannot occur.

Okay- so magnesium is super critical! BUT – how do you know if you have enough magnesium in your body to perform all the essential functions for human health? One way to be certain your levels of magnesium are well within the normal range is to get a magnesium RBC red blood cell (RBC) essential mineral test. If you are in a part of the US or the world when you can take this action for yourself, please do so! Just visit requestatest.com and complete the online registration, order the test, and visit a local lab to have the procedure completed.
