Magnesium and Potassium

Magnesium, potassium

The following is a comment I received from an individual who “unsubscribed” to my
Parkinsons Recovery newsletter today. He solved his problem with magnesium and potassium supplements.

I have enjoyed reading your posts, but my neurologist determined I did not have Parkinson’s.

Symptoms (muscle twitches) were apparently due to Potassium depletion and low Magnesium caused by Blood Pressure drugs and also Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (numbness in hands). Symptoms are mostly gone now.

This is the best news of the day. When neurological symptoms emerge most people

Magnesium and Potassium

assume it will be complicated and involved to silence them. Working in close collaboration  with his doctor, this individual found a simple fix to his problem.

Magnesium in particular is a fundamental building block of the body. Deficiencies cause a myriad of symptoms. I suggest you do something very simple. Try eating foods that are high in magnesium.

Remember Popeye the sailor man? Popeye ate spinach and he was certainly strong. Spinach is enriched with magnesium. Black beans and pumpkin seeds are good bets too. Of course, magnesium and potassium supplements can also be tried as well.

How about this strategy for a self test: If symptoms improve, chances are good they may be aggravated or even caused by something as simple as a mineral deficiency.

Passionflower for Tremors

Frankincense, Magnesium

The following is a letter I received this week about passionflower for tremors that I have permission to post here. Passionflower is generally used for its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) and mild sedative effects, and it is sometimes recommended for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms, which could indirectly help manage tremors if they are caused by stress or tension.

Dear Robert: Thank you for your wonderful encouraging letters. I got the book Pioneers of Recovery. It is very positive, has helpful information and surely is worth of purchasing. I started to use passionflower for tremors  (10 drops in a glass of water three times / day). It does help with tremors.

I also made massage oil for same using frankincense drops; one drop / 1cc of carrier oil ( I use almond oil). I use it on my neck and arm. It helps. I also use Magnesium powder.

I learned all that from your book. I just studied it a bit more . I am on my way to recover, next step is to detox and get Aquas

Again, Thank you!!

Isn’t this a lovely email? It certainly made my day. I am practicing receiving, which I believe helps all of us balance our hormones. At first, I wasn’t going to make this public, but then I thought I really need to take this praise in. My hormones are already thanking me.
