Hi again Walt. The end of May I started to have dysrrhythmia so I had a mineral panel done at CRK in Cinnci and it showed RBC Mg at 28.24 with normal range of 31-51 mcg/ml. My chelation DO was only willing to give me 1000 mg. of MgCl in an IV and I had four treatments, one a week. Then another panel. This time Mg was 39.09, same standard range.
The dysrrhythmia continued in a milder form and when I gave the lab results to my excellent DC, he noticed that the
Ca was low initially at 1.598 and still lower at 0.648 four weeks later. Normal range for Ca is 0.7-3.5 and mean is 2.1. So he has me taking more Ca; he felt there was an
imbalance between Mg and Ca. I had been taking 5 bone builder which is 1000 mg. Ca plus one Ca citrate which is
another 300 mg. I had even stopped taking my regular vit/min in a concerted effort to find what was causing the dysrrhythmia. Anyway, he seems to have been right because
the skipped beats became infrequent the next day. This seems to mean that more Mg isn't always the whole answer. Since my absorption is now normal, I wonder why
my Mg was low at the beginning of the four weeks. I always
took 400 mg. of Mg glycinate in addition to the 100 mg. in
EN Multinutrients. When I was taking chelation therapy last year, my Mg. stayed above mid-normal range and 1000 mg of MgCl is included in the chelation IV. The Mg level dropped when I stopped the chelation last August. I feel good noow but I still have the "sock effect" from hypoglycemia and low Se, Mo, Cr, so am not out of the woods yet. Peace, Martha

You are absolutely right, Martha.
Nothing is ever "always the answer" for anything.
I harp on the magnesium because it is the most commonly missed reason for dysrrythmias & chronic muscle spasms.
Many minerals and cofactors work together to cause chronic problems like this & all of us are just learning how they support each other.
It is MUCH easier for someone "on the spot" to know what to do "next". The main criterion is that that person has made it a priority to LEARN what this is about. The more they LEARN, the more they will apprecite how much there is yet to learn.
Congratulations on your persistance. In the end, it still is YOU who must become the expert. All the rest of us can do is be consultants & teachers.
Walt

Hi Walt: At the doctor’s today, I felt I was playing out the “blind men and the elephant” story.
The DO who did the EKG said “You have a lack of oxygen. I will write an Rx for nitroglycerin
for when you have chest pains (I haven’t) and later we may want to give you a ? blocker. I
forget which kind. Previously, the chelation DO looked at the EKG and explained that the T wave was
reduced especially in two of the leads (though not inverted) and said, “Chelation will clear
this up”. My DC looked at the EKG and the results of the mineral panel which the other two were
not interested in although I gave them copies, and said, “You have an imbalance of Ca and Mg
and need more Ca”. I have started on more Ca and there has been a marked improvement in my
dysrrhythmia. I don’t think we have the perfect ratio yet. I will start chelation again every
month or two. Interesting experience and not all of them were blind. Martha

I have burning pain and also concreted muscles from Myofascial Syndrome. I need advice, I have had this for 6 years and been tight in my chest, ribs and back muscles for 6 years. I had the intracellular test done and my mag came back a little low. I don't want to get to much or too less, I guess I have to experiment. Any suggestions at all. Please Please e-mail me at DWig54545@aol.com because sometimes I forget that I have posted somewhere and don't come back:) Thanks a bunch...LaTonya

Dear Tonya,
I do not give out clinical information by email because this is a public educational 'site and no one else would ever see it.
By far your best bet would be to be Rolfed, see a good Chiropractor AND start the regular practise of SR. See the glossary for any unfamiliar terms.
This is a TOTALLY unnecessary condition.
Walt
