Magnesium a possible cure

-

I AM not surprised Vitamin D alone does not help with Covid-19, or that countries are pausing their roll-out of vaccines. I appear to have found a missing piece of the puzzle in immunity and Covid’s impact on our bodies.

As an amateur citizen scientist, I wondered what I could do to help. I cross-referenced cell function with disease symptoms, post-mortem informatio­n and blood tests.

I noticed patterns in the data which were later confirmed by adverse vaccine reactions: I was onto something significan­t.

My conclusion­s point to calcium as the culprit. It appears SARS-COV-2 attaches to epithelial cell ACE2 receptors throughout the body, disrupts calcium ion channel function and allows too much calcium to enter cells. This excess calcium causes all the problems as the body struggles to regulate.

Only the hero in this tale is magnesium. Not only does it help with our nervous system, immunity and tons of other processes in our body, magnesium works in balance with calcium.

However, barely around 0.8% of the body’s magnesium shows in blood. Magnesium deficiency is often missed as we orientate ourselves around blood tests.

Not all the research into magnesium is helpfully designed either, sadly, because so much of it looks at blood test levels.

Some 99% of magnesium is in our cells which are harder to “see inside” than blood. Could this be why this has been missed for over a year? I have contacted various UK agencies with this informatio­n, but I am sharing it here for the public. I would love to collaborat­e to speed up the process to prove/ disprove my desk research.
