All About Silver-- Carolyn Dean MD ND
There is widespread controversy about the use of colloidal silver. Is it safe, is it effective, how do I know what product to trust? On tonight’s radio show, Dr. Carolyn Dean talks about the relationship between the body’s immune system and the natural element of silver. Silver can be considered as a necessary nutrient in the body because it is systematically concentrated in the body to a much higher level than occurs in nature. Since most minerals have been proved to be depleted from our soil and water, the same can be said for silver. Silver ions weaponize white blood cells (WBCs) to do their work. Silver assists the WBCs and the immune system to attack infectious organisms. And what is also known various bodies of research on yeast overgrowth is infectious organisms have gained the upper hand and overwhelm our ability to keep them under control. In fact, it can be confidently declared and scientifically proven that the silver ion is far safer than antibiotics or any other antimicrobial ever created. The characteristics of the silver ion far exceed the capabilities of patented antibiotics, which cannot keep up with bacterial organisms’ ability to mutate, nor do antibiotics work against viruses. In addition, antibiotics have many side effects, such as yeast infections. This is because antibiotics travel deep into the intestinal tract, where they kill the good bacteria along with the bad. It is also known and documented that taking antibiotics over a long time period weakens the body’s immune system. Along with its impressive function as an antimicrobial, consider these other characteristics of Pico Silver: · Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal. · Silver ions are highly effective and the body’s response is nearly instantaneous. · The silver ion is an integral and important part of the body’s immune system response to infections and disease. · The DNA of the body is already pre-programmed to utilize silver to fight infections and disease. · Silver ions are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to all of the tissues of the body and stored on the surface of white blood cells. · The silver ion is bonded to the surface of adult stem cells and causes dedifferentiation of the adult stem cells into the embryonic state leading to tissue regeneration. · New, healthy tissue growth is at least five to six times faster utilizing silver in wound treatment when contrasted with non-silver-treatment. · The silver ion aids the body’s ability to “find” the focal point of treatment, through the body’s cell signaling mechanisms – its electrical conductivity. · The silver ion aids the body’s ability to “digest” the pathogen. · The silver ion aids the body in the correction of the associated complex metabolic consequences associated with long-term infectious states. · The effects of the silver ion in anti-aging approaches is very promising although clinical research has not been fully funded. · The silver ion has a beneficial effect upon co-infections simultaneously. · The silver ion will readily pass the blood-brain barrier, allowing for interface and intervention with neurological diseases such as ALS, MS, polio, spinal meningitis, and viral encephalitis. · The silver ion increases the Red Blood Cell count. · The silver ion is known to negatively affect bacteria through: lethal oxidation, an “intermolecular electron transfer,” resulting in electrocution; a binding and chelating to essential pathogen receptor sites, which defeats the pathogen’s mechanisms of invasion into host cells; an ion non-dependent heightened catalytic action; and cleavage, which fragments (and thereby destroys) essential pathogen/proteinaceous structures. · Once the silver ion ruptures a bacterial staph infection or certain fungal infections, the remaining silver ion particles begin to act as an antidote to the resulting poisons lessening the Herxheimer reaction. · The silver ion has a very high therapeutic value because there is no known lethal dose for silver ions. With all that cellular power, you would expect the testimonials to be profound and pervasive, and indeed, they have been! Enjoy this testimonial from one of our dog-loving customers who used Pico Silver in a critical situation: Fred, our French Bulldog got loose and was hit by a car. We rushed him to the vet and they set his leg and placed in a cast with very specific instructions on how to care for his leg and keep his cast dry. We followed the directions to the letter but within 10 days his wound became septic and the vet wanted to amputate his leg. Fortunately, my buddy Gregg rushed over to my house with Pico Silver. We swabbed his leg hourly and added the solution to his drinking water. Within 3 days his wound was healed and the vet withdrew his recommendation to amputate. Thank you so much Dr. Dean for this product. We now have several bottles on hand.

Magnesium and Your Telomeres --Carolyn Dean MD ND
As we baby boomers age, we’re desperately trying to find ways to stay younger. Anti-aging research is a multibillion- dollar industry. And besides cosmetic enhancements, finding a way to protect our telomeres has become the holy grail of longevity research.
It should come as no surprise that magnesium is closely associated with telomeres. But the real shock is how few researchers are focusing on the miracle of magnesium in keeping telomeres from unraveling. Instead they are looking for drugs or formulating expensive supplements to save the telomeres—ignoring the solution that’s right before their eyes.
What’s a telomere? A telomere is an essential part of chromosomes that affects how our cells age. Telomeres are the caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect them from unraveling or getting attached to another chromosome. They are like the plastic cap at the end of a shoelace or the knot at the end of a string to keep it from unraveling. Here’s another analogy: it’s like the many extra stitches you put at the end of a line of sewing to prevent the thread from pulling free. Those extra stitches represent redundant sequences of nucleotides—the building blocks of DNA. They don’t have a function other than protecting chromosomes.
Aging is documented in our DNA: year by year, greater numbers of redundant telomere segments at the end of our chromosomes are nibbled away, eventually leaving the chromosome exposed. Telomere segments keep genes stable but shorten over time as cell division becomes less efficient, especially if the enzyme telomerase reverse transcriptase is deficient or not working properly. You don’t have to guess at what mineral this enzyme depends upon—magnesium, of course.
Shortened telomeres correspond with many conditions associated with aging, including heart disease. Heart disease is often a product of magnesium deficiency. Two brilliant magnesium researchers, Drs. Burton and Bella Altura, who wrote the foreword to this book, have published well over 1,000 scientific articles, most of them on magnesium. In 2014 the Alturas participated in a groundbreaking study on magnesium and the enzyme telomerase.
In it the Alturas review twenty-five years of their research that prefigures this present study. The paper’s discussion section is especially important, showing how telomeres are damaged by a host of environmental factors and how this damage is treatable and preventable by therapeutic levels of magnesium.
The following overview of the Alturas’ paper may sound complex and scientific, but I want you to understand the incredible value of magnesium in all tissues, in all cells, in all our mitochondria, and in the production of our RNA and DNA. It also summarizes many aspects of magnesium research:
Aging and Magnesium Deficiency
It’s common knowledge that over the age of sixty-five, many people show metabolic decline, with the appearance of atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardio vascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes, culminating in congestive heart failure. All of the attributes of aging have been associated clinically and experimentally with magnesium deficiency. The authors make the following very important observation: “The aging process is also associated with an increase in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines in tissues and cells all present in Mg-deficient animals, tissues, and different cell types.”
Oxidative Stress, Telomerase, and the Heart Certain markers of oxidative stress appear in cardiovascular tissues and DNA with an accompanying decrease in ionized magnesium levels. This indicates that magnesium deficiency could lead to multiple mutations in the genomes of multiple cell lines. The Alturas’ study shows that magnesium deficiency shaves off the ends of telomeres, which can be equated with aging and cardiovascular changes including hypertension, decreased ejection fraction, and cardiac failure.
Magnesium Deficiency and Endothelial Damage Studies by the Alturas in the late 1980s demonstrated changes in the endothelial lining of blood vessels due to magnesium deficiency. The Alturas say that magnesium’s importance in controlling microcirculation and in lipid buildup in the arterial walls is still being overlooked by the next generation of researchers.
Magnesium Deficiency  and  Chronic  Stress Recent studies confirm that short-term magnesium deficiency causes marked reduction in heart cellular glutathione and in cells activating nitric oxide synthases that protect DNA. These findings support the theory that magnesium deficiency can cause mutations in many types of cells.
Magnesium Deficiency and Heart Failure All studies to date have confirmed, experimentally and clinically, that congestive heart failure is an inevitability by age seventy-five to eighty-five for people in magnesium-deficient states.
Magnesium and Cell Signaling for the Heart In the mid-1990s, the Alturas theorized that magnesium ions function as extracellular signals in the pathobiology of cardiovascular disease. A total of forty-two studies now support that theory. Magnesium has a critical role in the regulation of cardiac hemodynamics; vascular tone and reactivity; endothelial functions; carbohydrate, nucleotide, and lipid metabolism; prevention of free radical formation; and stabilization of the genome. Another seventeen studies find that magnesium has a crucial role in control of calcium uptake, subcellular content, and subcellular distribution in smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and cardiac muscle cells.
Magnesium Deficiency  and  Genotoxicity Summing up the role of magnesium in our genes, the Alturas point out that magnesium deficiency can induce cell cycle arrest (and senescence), can initiate programmed cell death, and is associated with DNA damage (genotoxic events). These magnesium- deficiency-related changes can occur in multiple cell types, including cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. Of note is that atherosclerotic plaque in the arterial walls of hypertensive patients shows considerable DNA damage, activation of DNA repair pathways, increased expression of p53 (a tumor suppressor protein), oxidation, apoptosis, and increased levels of ceramide (a waxy lipid).
In addition to the important role of therapeutic amounts of magnesium daily, diet, exercise and the quality of your mind space play roles in longevity and wellness.  Tonight on my radio show we’ll discuss this topic in greater detail and answer your questions via phone, chat or email.

Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D-- Carolyn Dean MD ND
"I'm taking 20,000iu of Vitamin D because my doctor said it was low....I just got out of the hospital with a kidney stone....What do you think caused that?"
"I have osteoporosis, and I'm taking large doses of calcium....My joints are swollen and sore....My bone density test is worse...."
"I can't eat green veggies because of my blood thinner....My osteopenia is worse, and I'm worried I'll end up with osteoporosis...."
Do you recognize any of the above? Do you, too, have a laundry list of evidence that you aren't feeling well, even though you are taking high doses of several supplements? 
Tonight's radio show is devoted to the process of clearing up the confusion so you understand how to make good decisions about your supplements. We'll start this process with clearing any misunderstandings you have about why and how to use magnesium, calcium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K supplements.
Your Doctor Doesn't Necessarily Know
It's unfortunate, but most allopathic physicians have very little education in the area of nutrition. While they certainly are capable of choosing and writing prescriptions for blood tests -- so you can use the results as guides for your own wellness research -- most physicians don't fully understand the nutritional implications of these tests. 
For example, let's say you have your Vitamin D tested; did you know that Vitamin D levels are connected to your magnesium, calcium, and Vitamin K levels? But if your Vitamin D levels are low, chances are that your doctor will give you high doses of Vitamin D because their training tells them the low score is a problem, but they won’t adjust anything else. They will correct your so-called, "Vitamin D deficiency" in isolation from its other nutrient partners.
Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin D and Vitamin K are Partners
Since readers are so used to the allopathic approach of “isolate and treat,” they don't understand that there is a strong relationship among magnesium, calcium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K. 
Why Isolating Each Nutrient Is an Issue
In my 2017 Edition of The Magnesium Miracle, I share information about the relationship among magnesium, calcium, and Vitamin D:
Magnesium is required for many steps along the pathway of vitamin D metabolism, including transformation of vitamin D from its storage form (which is also the supplement form) to its active form. That means if you take extremely high doses of vitamin D, you can plummet into magnesium deficiency and not know what’s happening.
Calcium is a mineral that is essential for health, however, calcium is a mineral that Vitamin D grabs from the diet and holds on to for dear life. When you start taking high doses of Vitamin D, you can accumulate so much calcium that it overrides your magnesium and forces it out of your body to over-utilize magnesium, block magnesium, purge magnesium, build up calcium (causing calcification), and propel people into serious magnesium deficiency....
Later in the book, I add information about the role of Vitamin K:
For the proper functioning of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium, I recommend vitamin K2. Dr. Weston Price, the inspiration for the Weston A. Price Foundation, discovered the X factor, which turned out to be Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps guide calcium into the bones, where it is needed, instead of leaving it circulating to calcify blood vessels and other soft tissues.
Our Opening Scenarios Revisited
Let's look at our opening scenarios through a lens that the nutrients involved are partners and that each and every one of them is necessary for balance and wellness.
"I'm taking 20,000iu of Vitamin D because my doctor said it was low....I just got out of the hospital with a kidney stone...." My thought is that this person is supplementing too much Vitamin D when he/she is magnesium deficient. It's also possible because of this nutrient imbalance that calcium isn't moving into the bones effectively. 
"I have osteoporosis, and I'm taking large doses of calcium....My joints are swollen and sore....My bone density test is worse...." In this case, I would suggest supplementing more magnesium and gradually decreasing calcium supplementation. If someone is magnesium deficient, supplementing calcium will not increase bone health. 
 "I can't eat green veggies because of my blood thinner....My osteopenia is worse, and I'm worried I'll end up with osteoporosis...." As I mentioned earlier, Vitamin K guides calcium into the bones. Could it be that this writer has a Vitamin K deficiency?  
Learning about the role of nutrients and nutrition is essential to maintaining health, vitality and longevity.  Tonight, please join me on my weekly call-in talk radio show when we will learn more about the relationship between calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and K2 along with a wide range of other health topics. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the 'conflict' in the 'conflict basis' of disease and much more!!

Why I Love Minerals – Carolyn Dean MD ND
I have been saying for many years that people should be able to obtain their mineral requirements from food. A quick glance at nature will reveal a glorious presentation of minerals and corresponding vitamins packed in beautiful packages full of fiber and other essential digestive supports. Unfortunately, we are all becoming painfully aware that depleted soils and food processing has left much of our food depleted of these essential nutrients.
The role of minerals in the body’s performance is well documented and the deficiency of minerals in health has caused many scientists, doctors, and researchers to warn the public of their concerns:
Recently zinc deficiency has come to the forefront of the public mind as it is an indicator for COVID 19 symptoms [loss of taste and smell] – and, reciprocally, zinc has been added as part of the COVID treatment protocol in hospitals around the world.
The Linus Pauling Institute reports that “Potassium is considered to be a ‘nutrient of public health concern’ according to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans since its under consumption in the U.S. population is associated with adverse health effects.”
Cardiovascular researchers Dr. James DiNicolantino, et. al declared subclinical magnesium deficiency a principal driver of cardiovascular disease and a public health crisis [2018]
Iodine deficiency is still considered a global health crisis. Iodine is needed for the proper function of the thyroid and requires 8 additional minerals, in their proper ratios, in order to serve the thyroid properly.
In 2017 I issued a Call to Action for the health care community declaring magnesium deficiency a public health crisis citing 65 different health conditions that have magnesium deficiency at their epicenter. 
Still, and to this day, the public gets mixed messages from doctors and hospitals about the importance of minerals. Widespread mineral deficiencies are often treated with drugs not minerals and if that seems counter-intuitive, well, it is.
In addition to ignoring the consistent, daily requirement for proper mineralization, many health care practitioners are quick to overlook the effects of dehydration. For example, a dehydrated body is a sick body yet diuretic drugs are still the first treatment of choice for newly diagnosed hypertension. A properly calibrated daily intake of magnesium and potassium along with an infusion of clear, clean sea-salted water is the body’s natural design for balanced blood pressure and is beneficial for all systems in the body.
Yes, I love minerals because the body loves minerals and I am committed to educating one and all about their elegant, beneficial nature.
Tonight, please join me on my weekly call-in talk radio show when we will talk more about Why I Love Minerals along with a wide range of other health topics and clinically recommended nutritional assets to support your body. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the ‘conflict’ in the ‘conflict basis’ of disease and much more!!

HOUR 2
Why I Love Minerals – Carolyn Dean MD ND
I have been saying for many years that people should be able to obtain their mineral requirements from food. A quick glance at nature will reveal a glorious presentation of minerals and corresponding vitamins packed in beautiful packages full of fiber and other essential digestive supports. Unfortunately, we are all becoming painfully aware that depleted soils and food processing has left much of our food depleted of these essential nutrients.
The role of minerals in the body’s performance is well documented and the deficiency of minerals in health has caused many scientists, doctors, and researchers to warn the public of their concerns:
Recently zinc deficiency has come to the forefront of the public mind as it is an indicator for COVID 19 symptoms [loss of taste and smell] – and, reciprocally, zinc has been added as part of the COVID treatment protocol in hospitals around the world.
The Linus Pauling Institute reports that “Potassium is considered to be a ‘nutrient of public health concern’ according to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans since its under consumption in the U.S. population is associated with adverse health effects.”
Cardiovascular researchers Dr. James DiNicolantino, et. al declared subclinical magnesium deficiency a principal driver of cardiovascular disease and a public health crisis [2018]
Iodine deficiency is still considered a global health crisis. Iodine is needed for the proper function of the thyroid and requires 8 additional minerals, in their proper ratios, in order to serve the thyroid properly.
In 2017 I issued a Call to Action for the health care community declaring magnesium deficiency a public health crisis citing 65 different health conditions that have magnesium deficiency at their epicenter. 
Still, and to this day, the public gets mixed messages from doctors and hospitals about the importance of minerals. Widespread mineral deficiencies are often treated with drugs not minerals and if that seems counter-intuitive, well, it is.
In addition to ignoring the consistent, daily requirement for proper mineralization, many health care practitioners are quick to overlook the effects of dehydration. For example, a dehydrated body is a sick body yet diuretic drugs are still the first treatment of choice for newly diagnosed hypertension. A properly calibrated daily intake of magnesium and potassium along with an infusion of clear, clean sea-salted water is the body’s natural design for balanced blood pressure and is beneficial for all systems in the body.
