ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL ON THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A ZYTO 5.0 HEALTH SCREENING - AT TAKE A NEW APPROACH

 In January of this year, I was experiencing some health issues that caused me to ultimately have to have a hysterectomy.  I am someone who dislikes needles and other than child birth, I'd never had a major surgery.  Once I decided to go ahead and have the surgery.  I realized there were several health concerns I needed to address in my life. I spent some time before and after the surgery with Gwen Jones at Take A New Approach Wellness Center... and I have to say it has been extremely beneficial to both my body and mind.
 After the surgery, I was experiencing shortness of breath and chest pains and my doctor wasn't able to pinpoint what the cause was. He ordered me to have a heart cath.  I was thankful the results of the heart cath were normal but the heart pain and shortness of breath were not going away.  I turned to Gwen and she performed the Zyto scan on me and we determined that I was lacking magnesium and quit a bit of it.  I followed the dose she recommended and sure enough the shortness of breath and the heart pain decreased dramatically!  The Zyto scan was really amazing at all it detected!


Take A New Approach was also instrumental in helping me quit smoking..... AND helped me drop some weight by attending a 6 week weight loss group they offered at the center.
 
If you want to expand your options and look into a natural non-invasive way to improve your health, I suggest a little one on one time with Gwen at Take A New Approach!

ZYTO ELITE 5.0 - TESTIMONIAL @ TAKE A NEW APPROACH

We are sharing a recent testimonial from someone that came in for a Bio-Energetic Screening. 


(For those that are not aware of what the ZYTO Bio-Energetic or also known as Electro-Dermal Screening Software is all about - in brief it is a software that reads the body energetically and can tell you where it needs attention and what it needs to return to balance at the time of the screening.
Please check our web-site for links and further description.) www.TakeANewApproach.com  


At twenty-eight years old, I was dragging.  My body had never recovered from a difficult pregnancy, postpartum depression and the grief from losing my father and grandmother in one year.  I had a myriad of symptoms: I was tired, my hair was falling out, and I had strange rashes on my body.


I had tried everything--lots of doctors, lots of specialist, injections, medications, counseling--nothing worked.  No one addressed my symptoms as a whole, instead trying to treat them one-by-one, as isolated incidences.  I was frustrated and demoralized, as each treatment didn't bring improvement.


When speaking with a friend, she mentioned that she was seeing Gwen Jones at Take A New Approach.  That's what I needed--a new approach.


Meeting with Gwen, she patiently listened to my story and six weeks after our initial meeting, I am a new woman, well on the road to recovery.  After starting a regimen of vitamins and supplements, it is hard to remember how bad that I felt.  I wake up every morning alert and rested, ready to take on the new day.  Take A New Approach comes with my highest recommendation.

Are You Getting Enough Magnesium In YOUR Diet?

Calcium deficiency is a common nutritional concern, but how many folks consider the vital importance of magnesium in human health and disease?  



New research published in the journal BMC Bioinformatics indicates that magnesium's role in human health and disease is far more significant and complicated than previously imagined.

While it is well known that all living things require magnesium, and that it is found in over 300 enzymes in the human body, including those enzymes utilizing or synthesizing ATP (the molecular unit of currency for energy transfer), the new studied titled, "3,751 magnesium binding sites have been detected on human proteins," indicates that a deficiency of magnesium may profoundly affect a far wider range of biological structures than previously understood.

The proteome, or entire set of proteins expressed by the human genome, contains well over 100,000 distinct protein structures, despite the fact that there are believed to be only 20,300 protein-coding genes in the human genome.

The discovery of the "magneseome," as its being called, adds additional complexity to the picture, indicating that the presence or absence of adequate levels of this basic mineral may epigenetically alter the expression and behavior of the proteins in our body, thereby altering the course of both health and disease.

Indeed, modern medicine and nutrition fixates primarily on calcium deficiency (due, in part, to the WHO's highly unscientific definition of osteoporosis), even in the face of accumulating peer-reviewed research indicating that excess calcium consumption can greatly increase cardiac morbidity and mortality

Magnesium Research


Research relevant to magnesium has been accumulating for the past 40 years at a steady rate of approximately 2,000 new  studies a year. Our database project has indexed well over 100 health benefits of magnesium thus far.  For the sake of brevity, we will address seven key therapeutic applications for magnesium as follows:

  • Fibromyalgia: Not only is magnesium deficiency common in those diagnosed with fibromyalgia,  but relatively low doses of magnesium (50 mg), combined with malic acid in the form of magnesium malate, has been clinically demonstrated to improve pain and tenderness in those to which it was administered.
  • Atrial Fibrillation: A number of studies now exist showing that magnesium supplementation reduce atrial fibrillation, either by itself, or in combination with conventional drug agents.
  • Diabetes, Type 2: Magnesium deficiency is common in type 2 diabetics, at an incidence of 13.5 to 47.7% according to a 2007 study.  Research has also shown that type 2 diabetics with peripheral neuropathy and coronary artery disease have lower intracellular magnesium levels.Oral magnesium supplementation has been shown to reduce plasma fasting glucose and raising HDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. It has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in type 2 diabetic subjects.
  • Premenstrual Syndrome: Magnesium deficiency has been observed in women affected by premenstrual syndrome. It is no surprise therefore  that it has been found to alleviate premenstrual symptoms of fluid retention, as well as broadly reducing associated symptoms by approximately 34% in women, aged 18-45, given 250 mg tablets for a 3-month observational period. When combined with B6, magnesium supplementation has been found to improve anxiety-related premenstrual symptoms.
  • Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality: Low serum magnesium concentrations predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.  There are a wide range of ways that magnesium may confer its protective effects. It may act like a calcium channel blocker, it is hypotensive, it is antispasmodic (which may protect against coronary artery spasm). and anti-thrombotic.  Also, the heart muscle cells are exceedingly dense in mitochondria (as high as 100 times more per cell than skeletal muscle), the "powerhouses" of the cell," which require adequate magnesium to produce ATP via the citric acid cycle.
  • Migraine Disorders: Blood magnesium levels have been found to be significantly lower in those who suffer from migraine attacks. A recent Journal of Neural Transmission article titled, "Why all migraine patients should be treated with magnesium," pointed out that routine blood tests do not accurately convey the true body magnesium stores since less than 2% is in the measurable, extracellular space, "67% is in the bone and 31% is located intra-cellularly. "The authors argued that since "routine blood tests are not indicative of magnesium status, empiric treatment with at least oral magnesium is warranted in all migraine sufferers." Indeed, oral magnesium supplementation has been found to reduce the number of headache days in children experiencing frequent migranous headaches, and when combined with l-carnitine, is effective at reducing migraine frequency in adults, as well.
  • Aging: While natural aging is a healthy process, accelerated aging has been noted to be a feature of magnesium deficiency, especially evident in the context of long space-flight missions where low magnesium levels are associated with cardiovascular aging over 10 times faster than occurs on earth. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to reverse age-related neuroendocrine and sleep EEG changes in humans. One of the possible mechanisms behind magnesium deficiency associated aging is that magnesium is needed to stabilize DNA and promotes DNA replication. It is also involved in healing up of the ends of the chromosomes after they are divided in mitosis.

Best Sources of Magnesium In The Diet


The best source of magnesium is from food, and one way to identify magnesium-containing foods are those which are green, i.e. chlorophyll rich.  Chlorophyll, which enable plants to capture solar energy and convert it into metabolic energy, has a magnesium atom at its center. Without magnesium, in fact, plants could not utilize the sun's light energy.

Magnesium, however, in its elemental form is colorless, and many foods that are not green contain it as well. The point is that when found complexed with food cofactors, it is absorbed and utilized more efficiently than in its elemental form, say, extracted from limestone in the form of magnesium oxide.
