I don't like the New Age: Things Happen For A Reason; but accept: Chance favors a Prepared Mind.
But then there are times like this when I JUST got done talking to someone about electrolyte imbalance on the topic if the guru-over-sold use of Magnesium which is a calcium antagonist.
Your topic alone spurred my thoughts that for some people the use/over-use of magnesium would cause an osmotic laxative effect pulling water and electrolytes into the gut thus causing dehydration and lack of minerals (including calcium) that could cause muscle spasms/cramps and godnose what else. Folks with constipation rely on magnesium for regular bowel movements but too much of a good thing is bad (ancient chinee saying), yet we all need calcium, however for those with constipation and toxic bowels it can set up your guts like cement and make things insanely worse.
So, I'm thinking there has to be a difference between calcium bound up in food and supplements made from rocks.
There has to be a reason WHY They insisted on SOFTENING water and sold it as a good thing because the major electrolytes of suspended elements are CALCIUM and Magnesium that are substituted for the heart-attack-inducing Sodium during ion-exchange in a softener.
I ceased having problems with oxalates as soon as I went back to the old ways of 50 years ago when we cooked all of our food in HARD WATER that would bind all of the soluble oxalates and take them out of commision.
You, Sir, have a way of pulling back that big log tied with rope that the monks swing to ring the bell.
Great comment. Imagine my vitamin guru brother and his 3 yahoodi doctors all believed calcium should be avoided because it would create hardening of arteries and plaques. He also wrote a book on The Iron Time Bomb. He died in an ICU and did not have enough iron to make oxygen in his lung (hypoxia) and a lack of calcium that might have precipitated an acute sepsis reaction he mistook for a lung infection after he originally said COVID was a hoax. But if COVID is sepsis, sepsis is no hoax.
Your comment helped me figure out why I get so dehydrated while sleeping. I can feel that water is not being retained. I take 1,000 mg of liquid magnesium before bedtime. That must open the junctions and I get dehydrated.
Why vitamin Gurus and AlterNOTive medicine misses when they define everything as a vitamin and mineral deficiency: l-e-a-k-y g-u-t (and leaky words)
In cases of ”Leaky Gut Syndrome” where the intestines cannot perform healthy digestion, synthesis, detoxification and absorption, ANEMIA is frequently encountered due to the deficiency of fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins (especially Vit B12), minerals (especially iron) and folic acid required for BLOOD production. Sometimes ANEMIA appears as the first symptom of Leaky Gut Syndrome or as a symptom accompanying other symptoms.
If I remember correctly, Dr. Eleanor McBean MD, in her classic book The Poison Needle, explained that hydrotherapy worked best for 1918 Spanish Flu patients but there was only one other thing that made a difference: calcium supplementation.

My head is STILL ringing.

Thank you. Another helpful piece of the puzzle of the leaky gut problem that many peope suffer with.
