Did you know that the hard water containing calcium bicarbonate (the kind that leaves a calcium deposit in your teakettle) is the best for drinking? As annoying as it is to have those deposits, you should cheer when you see them because then you know you are getting some sorely needed minerals.

Do not confuse calcium bicarbonate with calcium carbonate. Calcium bicarbonate is completely assimilated and builds your bones by combining with the organic phosphorus (an important mineral) found in grains (we do not encourage the dead refined stuff sold nowadays and neither the GMO – genetically modified organism - variety) and lecithin (an emulsifier) in natural fats.

It is this calcium bicarbonate that is essential in the blood stream in preventing children from becoming susceptible to polio, colds and the diseases of childhood which produce fevers.

In fact, calcium bicarbonate deficiency alone can cause a child to have a recurrent fever that disappears at once on the administration of calcium lactate or calcium gluconate (both of which form calcium bicarbonate after absorption).

Calcium deficiency fevers are common in children during the ages of rapid bone growth, especially where the child is getting too much of the cereal foods such as processed dry cereals, without enough hard water calcium. The phosphorus is out of proportion to the calcium bicarbonate intake. Phosphorus needs to be kept in balance with calcium.

Besides the aforementioned fevers, this imbalance being created by the high-phosphorus processed cereals creates an inability to relax and results in what is known as hyperactivity. The child is “wired” and cannot relax or sit still.

This is no different to the feeling you get when you have had too much coffee and the resultant caffeine overload. In most cases, the hyperactivity in a child is merely an imbalance of phosphorus to calcium unless, of course, the child has been consuming high-caffeine beverages but then the solution is still to give them calcium with its balancing partner magnesium and some B Complex vitamins. Give it to the adults too and see how they calm down too.

Our Instant CalMag-C is made with two parts calcium gluconate and one part magnesium carbonate and added vitamin C to create the correct pH balance for speedy absorption and utlilzation by the body. Order yours today, give your children daily doses and see the difference!

Calcium, along with its balancing partner magnesium, is perfect for any teething baby too. These two minerals coat the nerves, alleviate the pain and improve their immune function, which results in a much happier baby – and family.

A deficiency of magnesium can cause many problems, such as an inability to sleep, digestive problems, hypertension (high blood pressure).

Magnesium relaxes nerves, relieves tension and helps with sleep. Why? Because it relaxes your nerves so you can sleep. An inability to sleep could be said to be inability to relax.

Magnesium is necessary for proper brain, nerve, lung and digestive function. It, with calcium, works to make your nerves function properly so they can send the correct messages to all your organs, glands and muscles so they can carry out your body's functions.

Magnesium is responsible for your body's energy at a cellular level. If you have adequate levels of magnesium, aging can be slowed down or even reverted.

It plays a key role in more than 300 chemical reactions in your body. It is vital for the processing of carbohydrates and amino acids (digestive system), reduces your risk of diabetes, improves your heart function and so many other functions. You can imagine that, being responsible for more than 300 chemical reactions, how much work can get done if you have sufficient levels. It also keeps other minerals such as calcium, sodium and potassium in balance. Deficiencies cause many body functions to be less than optimum and you feel these with certain symptoms. However, by the time you feel the symptoms, those organs and glands have probably been suffering shortages for some time.

Symptoms of a magnesium deficiency:

·    Emotional: irritability, depression, anxiety, restlessness (hyperactivity) and mood  swings. Could deficiencies be the cause of increased use of psychiatric drugs?
·    Structural: chronic fatigue and weakness, muscle spasms, osteoporosis
·    Cardiovascular: high blood pressure, fatty yellow arterial plaque, irregular heartbeat
·    Neurological: migraine headaches, excessive noise and pain sensitivity
·    Blood sugar difficulties
·    Premenstrual syndrome
·    Inability to sleep

Causes of magnesium deficiency:

·    Alcohol, sodas, sugar
·    Chocolate and coffee
·    High animal protein intake
·    Isolated calcium supplementation creates imbalances and contributes to magnesium loss
·    Stress
·    Loud music or noise
·    High dairy intake
·    High salt intake
·    Excessive heat

Proper Balance Calcium and Magnesium

Calcium and magnesium should be in a 2:1 ratio in order for your body to be able absorb either of them. If you have a deficiency of one or the other, your body will just draw the missing one from organs, glands, tissues, bones resulting in deficiencies of the missing mineral. That's why it's important to take a supplement that has this balanced properly.

In addition, because calcium and magnesium are both alkaline, they can't be absorbed unless they have the correct pH. To achieve the correct pH, they need to be taken with apple cider vinegar or vitamin C.

We opted for the vitamin C because the apple cider vinegar can be quite a challenge for some people because of the taste.  Our Instant CalMag-C has been formulated in a laboratory to provide the correct 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, along with vitamin C to ensure the correct pH is present.

pH is an abbreviation for the "power of the concentration of the Hydrogen ion" present in a solution. It is expressed as a number on a scale of degrees of pH, from 0 to 14. Hydrogen is a naturally occurring gas that is the lightest gas ever found and is number 1 in the periodic table.

The pH scale indicates the acidity or alkalinity of any substance, which is an indicator of the number of hydrogen atoms present. A pH of 7 is neutral, a pH of less than 7 indicates an acidic solution, and a pH greater than 7 indicates an alkaline solution.

pH And Your Digestion

Your stomach should be highly acidic. It secretes gastric acid and this helps the gastric enzymes to work, which helps to sterilize the food by killing most types of bacteria and micro-organisms.  The acidity in your stomach should range from 1 to 2 on the pH scale.

You wouldn’t want to go dropping your valuables into anyone’s stomach because the contents of their stomach should be acid enough to dissolve a razor blade!

When you get acid reflux, it means you are actually deficient in acid, not that you have too much. Many people take something to reduce the acid. This might give short term relief but it will worsen the problem in the long term. The more you alkalize your digestive system, the more digestive problems you will have as time goes on.

Eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates (white flour products like bread, pasta, etc) makes your digestive system alkaline and this inhibits your body’s ability to break down foods or even fight off unfriendly visitors. That’s how come so many people have digestive problems and also why infections are so prevalent.

Acid Reflux

They’re too alkaline from all the processed foods, sugars and refined foods. There is a lot of misinformation out there about this so be sure that you understand this very well.  When you get acid reflux, your stomach does not have enough acid.

How To Maintain A Proper pH Balance

Adequate protein is necessary to maintain normal digestion as well as to maintain an optimum pH balance. Proteins help to prevent your body fluids from becoming too acid or too alkaline. They can combine with and neutralize either acid or alkaline substances.

Many minerals can’t be absorbed if your stomach is too alkaline. It is very important that your digestive system remains acidic as that’s what Mother Nature intended. A pH of 1 – 2 is very acid.

Calcium and Magnesium

In order for your body to be able use the calcium you take, it needs magnesium in a 2:1 ratio. Because calcium and magnesium are both alkaline minerals, they need to have some kind of acid to create an optimum pH to be absorbed and used by your body.

Most tablets and capsules violate this rule as they do not contain any form of acid and that’s why most people don’t feel any difference when taking them. Many don’t have the calcium and magnesium in balance either.

Deficiencies

If there is an imbalance of these minerals, your body will draw from the supplies in the body to create the balance and this further exacerbates deficiencies. Like, if you keep using your reserves in the bank without replacing them, soon you have no reserves.

Not only that but they can actually create a problem as tablets and capsules can lie in your stomach and don’t break down. Many people take them in the hope that they’re getting their quota of calcium and/or magnesium but don’t realize that they very likely aren’t. Besides being a waste of money, they can cause an imbalance in the body and deposit as stones in the kidneys or deposits in the joints.

These conditions are not caused by too much calcium but rather by an imbalance with magnesium AND an incorrect pH.

Instant CalMag-C

That’s why we formulated Instant CalMag-C with two parts calcium gluconate to one part magnesium carbonate with ascorbic and citric acids, to bring them to an optimum pH so your body can absorb them efficiently.

It is also important not to sweeten it as that will be counter-productive and you won’t get the full benefit of its formulation. Mixed and used properly, Instant CalMag-C can calm stressed nerves, reduce muscle spasms and improve nerve conductivity and improve sleep.

Almost everyone in America now appears to have abnormal fatty substances- of which part is cholesterol – deposited in the walls of the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis. These deposits, which have the same composition as the fats in the blood, may narrow the channels through which blood passes to the point that circulation is markedly decreased. Such a partial blockage, limiting the blood supply in the eyes, hastens the onset of cataracts and other abnormalities, in the legs, feet, or hands, it causes coldness, discomfort, cramps, pain, and sometimes gangrene, making amputation necessary; in the brain it may cause confusion, forgetfulness, premature senility, or strokes; and in the heart, angina or attacks known as coronary occlusion.

These fatty deposits seriously complicate such diseases as diabetes and nephrosis¹ and delay recovery from almost every illness. They may be localized as tumors, or atheromas, on the skin or be so generalized that they clog all arteries uniformly, the space left for the blood so decreased that high blood pressure results and becomes progressively more elevated as the atherosclerosis advances. High blood pressure from other causes, however, makes atherosclerosis worse.

Although atherosclerosis has been described as “universal and life-long,” it has been produced in hundreds of thousands of animals, and when the diet is made adequate, health is restored. The same is equally true of humans.

Atherosclerosis² is reversible. Deposits containing cholesterol can often be seen in the skin around the eyes as yellow fatty accumulations; these tiny tumors quickly disappear after the diet is improved. A woman who consulted me had dozens of them under pendulous breasts; six weeks later none remained. On one occasion I was asked to see a ten-year-old child who had more than 200 such deposits on her back and abdomen and a blood cholesterol above 1000 mg; after her diet was made adequate, the deposits seemed to melt away. A retired postman, brought to see me in a wheelchair, had such constant, severe pain in his legs because of atherosclerosis that his physician had recommended amputation; two months later he walked in to see me. Such cases indicate that this problem can be corrected.

Countless experiments with healthy volunteers, survivors of heart attacks, persons in prisons and mental institutions, and innumerable animals show that when fatty substances are being deposited in the arterial walls, the blood cholesterol is invariably high and in abnormally large particles and that the fat in the blood which is combined with phosphorus, known as phospholipids, or lecithin, is too low. Yet these abnormalities are corrected as soon as all nutrients needed to utilize fats are supplied. Atherosclerosis and such seemingly unrelated problems as gallstones and much obesity appear to be caused by a combined undersupply of many nutrients essential before fats can be used normally. Cholesterol is merely the innocent little pig that got stuck in the barn door. More on Those "Cholesterol" Problems

First it was the birds that got the rap and now it’s the pigs. And so many fall hook, line and sinker for all the nonsense that devastation is going to descend and kill us all if we don’t have a needle jabbed into us!

There has been flu on this planet since time immemorial and we’re still here – in ever-increasing numbers. What happened to the so-called devastating effects of the last big flu threat – avian flu? It flew into non-existence and then died the death it deserved. It’s amazing how much fear a controlled media can create.

Here’s a calm and very sane viewpoint on the current media scare about swine flu from a congressman who is himself a doctor with decades of experience and who has been in Congress for more than three decades. Do yourself a favor and hear what he has to say about it here: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/10/ron-paul-federal-reserve-bank.html

The Sheriff’s Role and What He Can Do To Help You!

There are so many things I’m learning in this great country of yours. The latest lesson I’ve learnt is about sheriffs and that they have the highest law enforcement authority over their counties, namely that "the duly elected sheriff of a county is the highest law enforcement official within a county and has law enforcement powers EXCEEDING that of any other state OR federal official."

They are sworn to uphold the Constitution. The more I learn about that great document, the Constitution, the more my admiration increases for the wisdom of the founding fathers. What foresight into the vagaries of human nature and how cleverly they created a document that would protect every citizen, no matter what their political leanings, race, color or creed.

Here’s what Sheriff Mack has to say about the job of a sheriff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzC7dmyKG4E  and what your sheriff can do to help you if anyone tries to enforce vaccines on you or your loved ones.

Ways To Deal With Flu and Other Illnesses

The solutions to any immune-system threat are the same standard solutions since time immemorial. Do those things that boost your immune system and don’t compromise it even more with unproven, ineffective solutions that only enrich those without conscience.

Diet

1. Eat well (plenty of fresh salads, not overcooked vegetables and several servings of good quality protein – not junk foods. Good home-cooked food.)
2. Drink sufficient water with good minerals, calcium and magnesium. Dehydration is not caused by lack of water but by mineral deficiency. You can drink and drink and become more dehydrated. It is very important to understand dehydration and the causes. If you find you’re unable to quench your thirst, you’re dehydrated.
3. Plenty of good quality old fashioned fish oils and vitamin E with all its parts – not synthetic junk. Your body wants food sources as close to nature as possible.
4. Have sufficient B complex and vitamin C.
5. Get plenty of sunshine (for the vitamin D) and don’t block it out.
6. Get enough rest.
7. Do things you really enjoy.

The best way to ensure you’re getting a good balanced formula is with the Organic Life Vitamins. It is a balanced formula that has almost everything including trace minerals and minerals. Along with a glass of Instant CalMag-C, you’re pretty well covered.

Don’t forget to have fun too!

My Remedy for Illness

1. Ensure that the sick person is well hydrated. By this I mean they have enough minerals and some water or suitable liquid, like unsweetened fruit juice. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, salt – a good balance is the little balanced cell salts (salts = minerals) and Instant CalMag-C.
2. The main thing is to ensure they’re hydrated. Dehydration will weaken their immune systems and is the most dangerous thing that can happen to them.
3. Even if they’re a bit off color, follow the steps in #1 and #2 above.
4. Don’t force food on a sick person. Encourage them to sip a smoothie of a small amount of fruit, coconut milk (not soy as it inhibits mineral absorption), a raw egg or two (the yellow part) as food may be the last thing they want.
5. Ensure there is silence around anyone who is sick. Whatever you do, don’t voice any sympathy! You can show it but don’t voice it.
6. If there’s a fever, don’t worry about it. Be effective. A fever means that bacteria or viruses are being killed off (this is good) and is only dangerous if it gets too high. If this happens, place a large plastic bag on the bed with a towel on it, let the person lie on that with a cool wet towel on top of them. Keep wetting the towel until the fever breaks. A lukewarm to cold bath will actually work better but a sick person will most likely protest so do it on a gradient – encourage, don’t force.
7. Don’t panic about “symptoms” of the so-called swine flu. They’re the same as common flu. Reports are very generalized and embellished – designed to create fear. Even if it is swine flu, these handlings are still what I would do.

Handle as above and remain calm. Don’t give in to it. Use judgment, listen to Dr Ron Paul again and TOP everyone’s immune system up with good food, sufficient sleep, vitamins, minerals, oils, water and protein.

Welcome to our "sleep" page. We hope you find what you're looking for and that we can help you sleep better. We have many testimonials on this topic as we have helped a lot of people to sleep better, ourselves included.

The inability to sleep can be caused by almost any health condition, including things like depression, heartburn, cancer, asthma, arthritis, muscle and back pain.  Other things that can lead to sleep difficulties are the side effects from medications, or drug and alcohol use, as well as a high sugar or refined carbs (starchy food) consumption or insufficient protein before bed.

Besides the B vitamins being essential for good sleep, calcium and magnesium also play a big role in helping you sleep well.  Calcium and magnesium are both essential for your nerves and hormonal system to function normally and the two minerals cannot work without each other.

The harm done by sleeping tablets, to say nothing of the thousands of dollars spent annually on them, could largely be avoided if the calcium and magnesium intake is adequate and they are in a form that can be absorbed by your body. In fact, sleep meds just worsen the problem as they have side effects and one of the side effects is the destruction of nutrients in the body, robbing your body of energy too.

The intense nervousness caused by a lack of magnesium can also make it impossible to fall asleep. Calcium and magnesium also help to prevent or relieve leg cramps and muscle spasms of the toes or feet (Charley horses) which frequently wake some people or prevent them from falling asleep.

These two minerals are part of the nerve messenger system and if they're deficient, the nerves can't relax, which makes it impossible to sleep or have a restful night's sleep. Insomnia is really just an inability to relax.

In addition, potassium cannot be retained by your cells unless magnesium is also present. Without adequate magnesium, the potassium leaves the cells, creating an artificial potassium deficiency in them, making it even harder to fall asleep.

To be used by the body, calcium and magnesium need to be in a 2:1 ratio with some kind of acid to make the correct pH.

The key is absorption into the body so it can actually get these vital nutrients and you can feel the difference.

Instant CalMag-C has been formulated exactly per the body's requirements to absorb and use it.

Anyone who exercises knows that muscles can “feel” the effects of having done so. Whether you’re fit or unfit, your muscles sure let you know that you’ve just exerted some energy.

There are various reasons for this happening. One of them is the burnt fuel – just like when you make a fire. There are residues from the burnt fuel. In your body, this burnt fuel can make it ache and cause you to feel tired because there's nothing there to spark the energy.. More on Overcoming Muscle Pain While Exercising
