How Calcium and Magnesium Handle Pain

Calcium’s job is to make your nerves contract whilst magnesium’s job is to make them relax. If you have adequate supplies of these two minerals, your nerves will contract, relax, contract, relax and so on. This allows them to send the signals to tell your organs, glands and muscles what to do.

If you’re deficient in either of them, you can feel sensations varying from discomfort to extreme pain. In cases of very severe deficiencies, death can result.

This pain can translate into muscle spasms, cramps, PMS pains and cramps, restless legs, headaches, chest pains (remember your heart is just a big ole muscle), constipation, and so on.

According to world-famous nutritionist, Adelle Davis:

“Old medical textbooks give as the treatment for the sharp stabbing pains of pleurisy (also known as pleuritis, is a condition that results from the swelling of the linings of the lungs and chest)  – than which there are few worse – injections of calcium. One physician tells me he uses no opiates (a narcotic drug that contains opium or an opium derivative such as morphine, heroin, etc - very addictive) but injects one to four grams of calcium gluconate into the veins of patients suffering even excruciating pain and that relief occurs almost immediately.

“The migraine sufferer, for example, can be helped most by taking calcium between headaches. For years I have told people to take calcium tablets before visiting a dentist; the mineral not only helps them relax and feel less pain but makes life easier for the dentist. It has been my experience that adequate calcium usually relieves the itching of hives in a half-hour and the pain of arthritis within one to three days.

“Since the publication of my book on baby feeding, I have been amazed at the number of young mothers who have written or told me personally that they had experienced no pain during delivery. Invariably they have written or said, “I thought I was having gas pain when the baby was born.

“Now I tell women to grab a vitamin-D capsule as soon as labor starts and to take two or three calcium tablets every hour until they are wheeled into the delivery room. Regardless of the cause of pain, calcium can usually do something to relieve it; if no relief comes, blame it on poor absorption.”

I could not explain it better than Adelle Davis and I hope you get benefit from this article. It is not necessary to suffer.

Get enough calcium in the right form (gluconate), along with its balancing partner, magnesium carbonate, plus vitamin C to create the correct pH balance as well as vitamin D and other fats and you won’t need to suffer needlessly.

Remember, pain is merely a symptom that there are deficiencies so don’t ignore it. Get your intake of calcium and magnesium every day.

What’s different about Instant CalMag-C and other calcium products is that it is balanced up with its partner magnesium. Calcium needs magnesium to be able to be absorbed by your body. If you don’t get the magnesium, your body will just draw from your tissues and bones and create deficiencies of magnesium.

It’s much simpler to just get the two in balance. They also need vitamin C to be absorbed by your body. That’s why we made it the way we did. Two parts calcium gluconate and one part magnesium carbonate with vitamin C.

SUCCESSES

ACHES IN JOINTS, HANDS, BACK, SLEEP, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

"I have been taking your CalMag-C now for the past five months.  Boy, does it work.  I had aches in my joints, hands and back and couldn't sleep because of that!  I feel much more myself now and the pain is under control.  I can't go without it.  My mom is also using it now and her high blood pressure is much better and she can't be without it either! Thanks very much for your excellent service and product!" OL Sunninghill

CHRONIC PAIN, FALL ASLEEP, TASTE!

“I've been using various almags for a long time and this is definitely the easiest to assimilate, the best tasting, and the most effective!  I drink it in the early evening, and by bedtime, I'm ready to fall asleep.  Also, I have had chronic pain issues from scoliosis, and the CalMag-C seems to be part of what's helping me resolve that!  Most of all, I love the taste… I drink it instead of tea or coffee!”  KNB

WALKING AND SLEEP

I am a 70-year old lady and am still doing my own housework. I couldn't walk nor sleep properly for many years. My daughter introduced me to Instant CalMag-C. Now, for the first time in a long time, I can sleep again and walk much better. The pain is much less than before! Thanks very much for such excellent products! I really appreciate it. EM Soweto

PAIN FOR 15 YEARS

"I have been on medication for over 15 years and I have been looking for an answer for many years to be without pain. When I started with your products at first I was in extreme pain as my body was detoxing and thereafter my health started to improve more and more and more. I am without pain for the first time in 15 years!  Thanks so much for all your help and advice. Your products really work!  I will recommend more people to you!" EB Pretoria.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, NERVE ENDINGS

"I need to start by thanking you for the Instant CalMag-C. It works immediately. I suffer from myelin* breakdown around the nerve endings in my brain. When I take your Instant CalMag-C my hands feel warm and then my whole body glows for about an hour after that. I have been swimming between doctors the last few months but the Instant CalMag-C is really helping to lessen the tremors. THANK YOU!." IvdM, Erasmus Kloof

*Myelin is a fatty material that coats, protects, and insulates nerves, enabling them to quickly conduct impulses between the brain and different parts of the body. Myelin also contains proteins that can be targeted by the immune system. Myelin coats the nerves of both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system; the destruction of the myelin in the central nervous system is what triggers many of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Nerve cells are coated with sections of myelin, and the tiny spaces between the sections are called nodes. As the brain sends messages through the nerves of the spinal cord, the impulses jump from node to node. Myelin prevents these impulses from escaping from the nerve at the wrong point.

SLEEP WITH PAIN RELIEF

“I really like your product. I now have my son, daughter, sister and my mother using Instant CalMag-C. It has been a god-send. I first had my 16-year-old son use it when we drove 3 hours to check out a college for him. He was so keyed up when we got to the hotel the night before he couldn’t get to sleep. Instant CalMag-C made him relax so he could go to sleep.
“I originally started using it 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

MUSCLE SPASMS

“Well, I took 2 doses yesterday.  Anyhow, I hit the bed at 11:15 pm, woke at 6 am and put my attention on my lower legs and feet. I do this automatically every time I awaken in the morning. Normally, I can feel that the magnesium pills that I took the night before are wearing off and “usually” the right leg/foot is about to have severe muscle tightening/spasms.  Some people call it “charley horses”.  I’ve learned the hard way, that the severe spasms will start somewhere within the next 30 minutes. I can ALWAYS feel it when the spasm is approaching.and I’ll usually just get up right before the “assault” hits!  The 30-minute danger zone.
Well…since I was now testing the CalMag-C, I could “sense” that it was wearing off (same feeling as with the pills) and I wanted to see just how long it would be before the terrible spasms hit me.  Well, I laid there in bed…waiting, waiting, waiting.  I waited there in bed for over TWO hours! There were NO spasms!!! WOW!!!
THAT told me that the CalMag-C had “treated” the muscles to a point where they wouldn’t tighten up/spasm as they did  before. This is a HUGE win for me!!!
I’ve only been takin’ the stuff for two days and can see that it’s already started to do its magic!  Outstanding!” WA, South Carolina 

BACK PAIN

“My husband frequently has pain in his back from the hard work we do all day and CalMag C relieves it quickly and if I can get him to drink it consistently and enough, it gets rid of it completely and he also starts to walk straight! He also sleeps much better when he drinks it.  I take it for general body stiffness and aches that make accumulate in my knee, shoulder, and just about anywhere else when I am depleted in calcium and magnesium. Basically it is an essential to aging!” MF from Florida 

SEVERE BACK PAIN

“I talked to my Chiropractor about the CalMag-C and he confirms your claims. Actually, he was confirming MY claims about the product. It had to be my claims because I REALLY had NEVER found anything in over 40 years that was natural and REALLY worked at reducing and often eliminating the back pains! I had used the prednizone a few times but did not and do not want to take pills and shots, or have surgery IF I can avoid it. CalMag-C has extended my useful life, makes me feel better and therefore makes me more of a pleasure to be around! THANK you for your product!  Sincerely, WC California

"CalMag-C works really good.  Been in pain for many years with no comfort while sleeping but the CalMag provides relief.  Thank You." ST, Florida

Calcium: Why It's Important

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.

With kind acknowledgement to Adelle Davis.

Oxycontin and Heroin - Is There Any Difference?

Being a detox specialist and having worked in a drug rehab facility, I have seen the devastation addiction wreaks on addicts but, even more so, the stress placed on their loved ones who have to watch them going down the drain.

With the right help, addiction can be solved. By the right help I mean not adding further drugs to the mix, but using methods that truly work to get people off their drugs AND through a program that helps THEM discover why they got addicted in the first place and then help them to resolve their personal problems - not someone else's idea as to what their problem is.

What is a drug?

There are many types of drugs: tranquilizers, opium, cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, LSD, alcohol, anti-depressants, etc. In other words, they're not just street drugs but include medical and psychiatric drugs. More on Oxycontin and Heroin - Is There Any Difference?

From a very young age, I suffered from restless legs - until I heard of Calmag-C.  I have been using Calmag-C for the past 3 months and I no longer have sore or restless legs!  I highly recommend it!  I can't tell you how good it feels to get into bed without having restless legs!  Thanks very much, Helping Hands.  I don't think there is anything else that really works!  People, try it!  You won't regret it!  EL Meyerton

More About Calcium's Balancing Partner, Magnesium

Excerpted from the Office of Dietary Supplements, a department of the US Government.

Magnesium: What is it?

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant.

Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. More on More About Calcium's Balancing Partner, Magnesium
