Nerves and Relaxation

“Although 99% of the calcium in the body is in the bones and teeth, symptoms resulting from an undersupply to the nerves and soft tissues can make life quite unbearable. For example, calcium aids in the transportation of nerve impulses. When this mineral is undersupplied, nerves become tense, and you become grouchy.

The calcium-deficient person wastes energy, and his nervous tension and inability to relax induce fatigue out of all proportion to the work he actually does.

He is usually so restless that it is tiring to be around him. His irritability and quick temper add nothing to his popularity…..”

Insomnia

“….A calcium deficiency often shows itself by insomnia, another form of an inability to relax…..”

Cramps/Spasms

“….An undersupply of calcium also causes irritability of the muscles which may take the form of cramps or spasms. If the blood calcium drops extremely low, convulsions known as tetany can occur; fortunately the usual muscle symptoms are less severe. Leg or foot cramps are the most common although either cramps or spasms may occur in almost any muscle.

Spastic Colitis and/or Constipation

“For example, spasms in the intestine, spoken of as spastic colitis or spastic constipation, are usually relieved by adequate calcium….”

Pre-menstruation, Menstruation and Menopause

“…..The amount of calcium in a woman’s blood parallels the activity of the ovaries; the blood calcium falls to such an extent during the week prior to menstruation that nervous tension, irritability, and perhaps mental depression result. At the onset of menstruation, the blood calcium takes a further drop, often resulting in cramps of the muscular walls of the uterus. This condition is especially severe during adolescence, when the demands of growth exaggerate the need for calcium. Menstrual cramps usually disappear within ½ an hour after calcium is taken.

“During the year before menstruation begins and again during menopause, the lack of ovarian hormones cause severe calcium-deficiency symptoms to occur; at these times unusually large amounts of calcium should be obtained, and every step be taken to insure its absorption into the blood and to prevent its loss from the kidneys. When these steps are taken, the girl at purberty often becomes more pleasant and manageable, and the woman at menopause usually loses her irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, leg cramps, and mental depression. Even after cessation of menstruation, a pseudo-menstrual cycle can usually be observed, and calcium-deficiency symptoms can be particularly noticed during one week of each month. The calcium intake should be increased at such times.”
 
Natural Painkiller

“….this mineral is a pain killer par excellence. Old medical textbooks give as the treatment for the sharp stabbing pains of pleurisy-than which there are few worse- injections of calcium. Why calcium has not been used more widely in alleviatinig other pain remains a mystery. (Comment: I guess that might just be because you can’t patent it!) One physician tells me that he uses no opiates but injects one to four grams of calcium gluconate into the veins of patients suffering even excruciating pain and that relief occurs almost immediately…..”

Editor’s comment: I have personal experience with calmag’s painkilling qualities. When I had my son, I drank about two litres (a bit more than two quarts) of calmag during labor. I had absolutely no pain and no contractions. My muscles were so relaxed I didn’t feel anything. Obviously that isn’t optimum. I didn’t even have a loose bowel from all the calmag, which I drank in a pretty short space of time. I definitely don’t advocate anyone try and stop the contractions like this because you need them to help deliver a baby. However, it demonstrated to me the power of calmag as a painkiller.

Hyperactivity

Kids running around acting a bit crazy or driving you nuts is a symptom of low calcium and magnesium levels and B complex. Too much refined carbohydrates and sugar deplete calcium and magnesium rapidly. Sugar alkalizes the stomach acids and this further prevents absorption of calcium and magnesium which both need an acid environment (correct pH) to be absorbed and used by the body.

So, you have a two-fold destruction or loss of calcium and magnesium when consuming refined carbohydrates (they convert to sugar in the body) and/or sugar-loaded foods or candy. One, your stomach becomes alkaline and can’t absorb the calcium or magnesium – and many other things like protein – and, two, it burns up any calcium and magnesium you might have in your body – creates deficiencies.

Muscle Contraction and Relaxation

Vitally important for the contraction and relaxation of your muscles, calcium and magnesium work together in this activity. Calcium contracts your muscles while magnesium relaxes them. The heart contracts  and relaxes to pump blood through your body. If you have insufficient calcium, it will be too slack and if you have insufficient magnesium, it can’t relax. This is basically a heartbeat. All your muscles work in this way.

Insufficient calcium and/or magnesium makes your nerves tense up and they pull on the muscles and this can cause misalignment of your spine too.

Calcium Absorption

In order for your body to absorb calcium, it needs to be in a certain ratio with magnesium – 2:1 – and it needs some kind of acid to create the correct pH so it can be absorbed. This can be in the form of apple cider vinegar or some kind of vitamin C.

Furthermore, your body needs vitamin D to be able to be absorbed into your bloodstream and it needs vitamin F (essential fatty acids) to be pulled into your tissues.

The best source of vitamin D is the sun but if you don’t get enough sun because you spend a lot of time indoors or its winter and there’s very little sun, you definitely need to make sure you’re getting it. The best nutritional source is cod liver oil.

Sunburn

The effects of sunburn come (besides the radiation aspect) come from insufficient tissue calcium. This occurs when people are deficient in the essential fatty acids.

Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium but vitamin F helps pull it into your tissues.

Fever Blisters

Breakouts are caused by the presence of the herpes virus in its various forms but the fever blisters manifest when there is insufficient tissue calcium. That’s one of the reasons why we need vitamin F (essential fatty acids). These are a mere drop in the ocean of why your body needs calcium and magnesium. There are many more chemical actions in your body just from these two minerals.

There is so much attention on female issues like stress, mood swings, hot flashes (night sweats), lowered libido, fatigue, insomnia, but what about the men in our lives?

Male menopause happens as surely as female menopause occurs. The big difference is that with us women we know we’re having PMS or are going through menopause or are pre-menopausal because we have a measuring stick called menstruation – or lack of – and “everybody knows” they must tread carefully around us at certain times of the month. Of course, not all of us go through this, but you know what I mean.

Many men – and women – don’t even know there’s such a thing as male menopause so when a man gets moody or has lowered libido or gets aggressive or can’t sleep or is depressed, we women don’t always understand.  After all, it’s us who go through menopause, not them.  More on What About The Man or Men in Your Life?

Hormones

As you know, the glands of your body produce hormones. In fact, they produce more than 600 different hormones. Hormones are the chemical messengers that your glands send out to give instructions to your cells – like produce energy, go to sleep, time to wake up, digest this food, produce milk to feed the baby etc.

If there’s a breakdown in this communication system, the messages either can’t get through or they’re too weak or too strong and so get scrambled (wires get crossed), so your body starts to malfunction.

Adrenals

These glands are situated in various parts of your body and they include the adrenals (the little triangular glands above the kidneys – “ad” means above and “renal” means kidney) .

Your adrenals have a responsible job and perform many functions. One of these functions is to release a hormone called cortisol when you have any inflammation. Cortisol is your body’s own anti-inflammatory. That’s right. Your adrenals run a little factory that produces cortisol. So, when you’re under stress, those adrenals are pumping out the cortisol. Sounds good.

Stress

Stress can be defined as any mental or physical condition that causes the destruction of a few or many cells. Even something as basic as missing a meal or having an upset with someone puts stress on your body and your adrenal glands are the ones that respond to the stress.

Those tiny little glands excrete cortisol to deal with the stress. If you have any stress, they will just pump out the cortisol to deal with it.

Inflammation

Now, let’s say you have inflammation in your body and your adrenals start pumping out the cortisol to deal with it, that’s fine.

But, how about when there’s constantly some kind of inflammation caused by undetected viruses, parasites, candida, bacteria, allergies to things in the environment, food sensitivities chemical pollutants, vitamins etc, etc?

Did you know that they cause inflammation in your body? They do. Even vitamins can do this. If you're doing a hit or miss thing with the vitamins in an attempt to resolve symptoms and you're using the wrong ones or excessive doses, they add more strain to your adrenals as they have to deal with them too. Strange but true. More on What Have Hormones, Stress, Sleep and Weight Got To Do With Each Other?

“I originally started using Instant CalMag-C because I have a bad back that keeps me in bed laying flat and sometimes I have problems sleeping, because of the pain. It helped me immediately. Thank you for a great product that has helped me so much.” B.F., Cape Coral, FL

Welcome to our "back pain" page. We hope you find solutions here and that we can help you resolve your back pain. One of the things that I noticed when I started using Instant CalMag-C was that within 20 minutes my back pain was literally gone. We have helped so many people resolve their back pain that we very confident that we can help you. Our nerves and muscles need calcium and magnesium and here is some data about how they work.

Almost 80% of adults are affected by back pain at some time or other. It is one of the most common reasons for hospitalization in the United States. A variety of problems in the muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, or an organ, such as the kidneys, liver, adrenals can cause back pain problems. Aches and pains in the lower back can become chronic.

For many years, it was assumed that back pain was the result of spinal degeneration or injury, especially damage to the discs of the spine. A herniated disc can indeed cause severe temporary or constant back pain. However, it is difficult to pinpoint disc disease as the cause of most back pain because most adults over 40 - whether they experience back pain or not - can be shown to have some degree of disc degeneration.

It is now believed that the leading cause of back pain is simply muscle strain. Although symptoms may come on suddenly and can be very painful, back pain is actually a problem that develops over a long period of time.

Contributors to back pain can include poor posture, improper footwear and walking habits, improper lifting, straining, slouching when sitting, and sleeping on a matress that is too soft or too hard. Kidney, bladder, and prostrate problems, female pelvic disorders, and even constipation may produce back pain. Chronic conditions that can cause back pain include arthritis, rheumatism, bone disease and abnormal curvature of the spine.

Magnesium in the cells has been found to be unusually low in people who suffer from muscle weakness and/or spasms. Bone repair or development can be halted by a diet low in protein or vitamin C, which are essential for connective tissue formation. Although vitamin C forms the connective tissue, calcium is the "cement" that makes it strong, so these nutrients all work together. Connective tissue is the material that holds all of the cells in your body together.

When your body is deficient in calcium and magnesium, the nerves can't function properly. As it's the nerves that control the muscles, guess what? You can get back pain.

An adequate diet of good protein, calcium, magnesium and vitamins C and D helps build good nerves and muscles. Calcium is essential in maintaining normal muscle tone, excellent posture, and strong muscular contraction. It is the reason why it's so valuable during labor at chlidbirth. Calcium cannot work without magnesium, which works with calcium to regulate muscle tone.  And calcium is actually a natural pain killer. and the two are vital for our nerves to function so the body can relax and not tense up our muscles.

In order to actually absorb calcium and magnesium into your body, they need to be taken together in the doctor-recommended 2:1 ratio in a liquid form, in the correct pH balanced to greatly enhance uptake by the body. If taken this way, they don't even need to depend on your digestive system as they absorb immediately into your body.

Instant CalMag-C

Instant CalMag-C is a balanced calcium and magnesium supplement with vitamin C that provides the doctor-recommended 2:1 ratio of calcium and magnesium with the precise pH so that your body can absorb it instantly without having to be digested.
