Health / Re: Mineral Deficiency
« on: September 05, 2020, 04:07:56 am »https://www.facebook.com/groups/MagnesiumAdvocacy is a great group discussing all different types of mag supplements. According to morley robbins, the guy behind the group and the protocol (he has some great podcasts on yt with extremehealthradio - listen to them), there are 4 ways to get more mag. With food, water baths in epsom salt, mag oil, and supplements like mag malate and glycenate. He mentioned to stay away from citrate or ascorbate. Personally I tend to stay away from supplements, i prefer the natural way by now, so therefore can´t give any advise regarding that.
And no idea about decaf and mag. I never used to drink decaf, so I have no knowledge here. That would require some research. And according to morley robbins, the guy mentioned above, the best copper sources are veal liver, because the young get the copper from the mother and have lower stored iron, (beef liver contains a bit too much iron as they accumulated in when they grew up), bee pollen and whole food vitamin c like oranges. I would be careful with liver though, especially when eaten as a whole food, the high amount of "vitamin a" can cause lots of other issues. I think its better to opt in for non liver sources like seafood. I would not go crazy now on the pumpkin seed oil either. And capsules..well, i´d stick to real food that my body can identify as such, you don´t know how the capsules have been processed and how much the body can actually convert from that. But naturally it´s up to you..
I've joined the Facebook page, Morley's protocol does seem to work for a lot of people. I've been watching his videos over the past couple of days and in a way I think I've learn't more from him than any other nutritionist. There's a recent video on youtube where he goes through strong.sistas mineral/blood tests in detail, both on a carnivore diet and their minerals are still very unbalanced, mainly because of iron buildup and unusable copper. In this modern world even with a very good diet our body still accumulates things such as iron like you mentioned, which can mess up mineral/hormone balance. Watching that video has made me realise that there is pretty much zero point in going to a doctor, the tests are useless and the supplements they recommend are also useless. I'm tempted to use his protocol or at least experiment with some of the supplements he recommends as most of them are natural and come from wholefoods.
For the beef liver capsules, I'll continue to take them but in small amounts, not sure I'd enjoy veal liver too much, also Morley does actually recommend them in his protocol, I will use seafood aswell though when I can. I've bought some pumpkin seed oil but I'll take your advice and stick to small amounts probably about 1 tsp per day. I agree that real food is better than supplements but for me eating a cooked diet it's quite hard to get all the nutrients I need.
