Magnesium, Multiple Sclerosis and Health

We've been getting a lot of questions about Magnesium for people with MS.   See some great information about Magnesium below.  But first here's a recipe containing a great source of Magnesium: Kale.


Sauteed Greens and Olives

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 small sliced leeks
  • 1/3 cup pitted oil-cured Moroccan black olives
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth, divided
  • 3 cups packed fresh spinach
  • 3 cups packed fresh kale, ribs removed and leaves chopped
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • tbsp chopped mint for garnish
Slice onion. Trim the long, darker green leaves off the garlic stalk, and finely slice the head and light green portions of the stalk. Finely chop the pitted black olives.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add onion and leeks and saute for 5 minutes. Then add olives and 1/2 cup broth, stir, cover, and sautee for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and replacing cover. Onions should be quite tender at this point. Add greens on top of onions, add remaining broth, and cover. Sautee for about 8 minutes, stirring often, until greens are tender. Then remove cover and let cool for 3-5 more minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate. Remove from heat and sprinkle with  red pepper flakes, lemon and mint for garnish. Serve warm.

ABOUT MAGNESIUM

"Magnesium helps to regulate the function of the nerves.

When the levels of magnesium in the body are too low, the nerves can react more erratically causing spasms, twitches or tremors, in addition to other problems like heart arrhythmia's, leg cramps, some nerve pain or even misfiring of the nerves that may cause different parts of the nervous system to sort of short-circuit and not transfer signals properly."

Who Needs Magnesium
To help you decide how much magnesium to take to meet your
individual needs I created the following list of factors that indicate
magnesium deficiency. Consult the list and see if you are experienc-
ing any of these symptoms. Then, take magnesium and see if your
symptoms improve. You’ll be doing a scientific study with yourself
as the only subject. Once your symptoms improve, stop taking
magnesium and see if your symptoms come back. If they do, then
you have your proof.

  3. Been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2015, and I was a woman of 50. They put me on Rebif which I took until 2017 and was switched to Copaxone. I had two relapses on Rebif, none so far on Copaxone. I do notice my balance was getting worse, and my memory, as well as erectile dysfunction and spasms’ had no choice to sick for other solution and I was introduce to multivitamincare .org which I purchase the MS herbal formula from the org, the herbal supplement has successfully  get rid of my multiple sclerosis and reversed all symptoms after using the herbs as the Dr said , this is almost a miracle and do believe multivitamincare.org herbal cure will be recognize globally because am sure the world are yet to see their wonderful work.
