The rate of disability from disease in the United States has risen significantly since the 1960s.
This is concerning, and many medical studies have been conducted, concluding that the increase in disability was related to poor diet, lack of exercise, and high blood pressure.
It was considered the best way to intervene: to screen patients early for indicators of impending disease. For instance, if the patient were a smoker and showed an indication of cancer, the recommended behavioral advice would be to quit smoking. Those who quit greatly reduced their risk of cancer related to smoking.
Similar recommendations were made for pre-screening for breast, colon, and cervical cancers, as well as high blood pressure and cholesterol.
The American Medical Association and Center for Disease Control would love to take credit for the decline in death from chronic diseases, especially from heart disease and stroke. In 1960, if you suffered a heart attack or stroke, the result would likely be death. Since then, the survival rate of those incidents has improved dramatically as pharmaceutical intervention has advanced exponentially to prolong the lives of those who might have died for many years as pharmaceutically dependent survivors.
No doubt, the death rates from diabetes, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease, and other chronic diseases are declining due to increased pharmacological intervention, from which the pharmaceutical industry profits immensely.
Alternatively, death rates of those suffering from lower respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis and emphysema, have increased regularly since 1960, even though rates of smoking have declined significantly.
Since 1960, rates of physical activity have declined significantly, while the occurrence of diabetes and other obesity-related chronic diseases has increased.
The rate of alcohol abuse has been on the rise since 1960.
The rate of disability due to medically treated or managed chronic disease is increasing, though the early death from these diseases is on the decline.
But what is the cause of these diseases in the first place? It’s not where you live, it’s not how much money you make, it’s not based on your ethnicity, it is not based on heredity, and it is definitely not due to your human body’s lack of any pharmaceutical or recreational drug.
You get sick and die from cellular failure. When your cells fail, there is no good outcome. When cellular failure becomes chronic, death follows. Pharmaceuticals may be able to boost other body mechanisms to prolong life, but if the condition of failing cells continues, nothing can stop the inevitable.
Cells need to produce energy to sustain viability. We all know this to be the function of the mitochondria. We can watch the mitochondrial action decline and do whatever we can to increase the reaction by altering body chemistry, though this is an unnatural and short-term intervention.
Could it be that there is a key component necessary for effective mitochondrial health that is low or absent in the body? It turns out there is. I was shocked when I heard Thomas E. Levy connect magnesium and mitochondria.
Stated that there is no magnesium and no mitochondrial reaction, which leads to cellular failure, disease, and overall death.
95% of the magnesium in our cells is within the cell’s “Work Force,” the mitochondria that reside there. If you want to ensure that the Work Force has enough magnesium chloride, it must soak through your skin. Because I like efficiency, I mix my magnesium oil with DMSO for a quicker transfer.
I am not pointing fingers, but your doctor will not tell you that you have a magnesium deficiency. If he or she does, you’ll likely be instructed to consider taking an oral supplement.
When you really need it, it is a magnesium infusion. Lucky for you, if you are reading this or otherwise learning, you can create your own magnesium infusion quickly and easily by grabbing liquid magnesium sourced from the sea and rubbing it into your body’s skin.
If you supplement with oral magnesium, you will never exceed ten percent of your consumption. On the other hand, your body will absorb up to 90 percent through the skin.
Why Magnesium Matters for Our Bodies
1. The Cellular Workers: Mitochondria
Think of mitochondria as tiny power plants inside our cells. They produce energy to keep our bodies running smoothly.
2. The Magnesium Connection
Where It Lives: Most of the magnesium in our cells hangs out in these mitochondria.
What It Does: Magnesium helps mitochondria do their job—like a superhero sidekick.
3. The Problem: Magnesium Shortage
Why It Matters: Without enough magnesium, mitochondria can’t work properly.
Result: Cells struggle, leading to diseases and, eventually, bad news.
4. The Solution: Magnesium Boost
How to Get It: Magnesium can soak through your skin (like magic!). Try mixing magnesium oil with DMSO for a quick boost.
Why It’s Vital: Magnesium keeps our cellular engines humming.
Now, you can do something that can greatly impact your health on a cellular level.
