I wanted to cover this topic because I believe it is important to us all. Our soils have become depleted of many minerals so we do not get enough minerals in our food any longer. Many of us are becoming deficient. There is a vitamin D deficiency epidemic in America and Globally as well. For one many people are not getting out in the sun as they used to due to our digital life, and the scare of Cancer.

If anyone does want to try any of these remedies please talk to your Dr and research it as things like Magnesium can interfere with some medications. I want everyone healthy and safe.
I believe it is of great importance for all of us to be tested for our vitamin D levels and B12, and magnesium. There are so many health conditions that can be traced back to not getting enough minerals. Magnesium alone controls over 300 processes in the body it is so important and about 70 to 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium. Many people who get headaches can be headache free after one dose of magnesium and for some it may take longer. Improvements can be noticed right away in some.
Without the proper amount of magnesium in our body we cannot convert vitamin D to it's useable form. Going in the sun will not raise your D levels if you are magnesium deficient. But there are things to know if you want to supplement.
we can take up to 5,000 units per day of Vitamin D but this must be taken with vitamin K2 because vitamin D can cause calcium deposits in your soft tissues including arteries, and taking K2 will ensure that the calcium moves to the bones, and the K2 will also help to clear existing calcium deposits.
In order for our bodies to produce the useable form of Vitamin D we need to have proper magnesium levels. Women can supplement up to around 300 and men 400 per day. This will help your body to produce your vitamin D
In order for your body to use the magnesium properly you need to take B6, I get my B6 from all natural unfortified nutritional yeast. I just take a small spoon a few times per day. This link is not the one I take I am not endorsing I just want to give you an idea what to look for.

Our B12 levels are also very important as if we do not have proper levels we can get all sorts of health problems. It is best to get B12 from natural food sources like Beef, Milk, Eggs, Yogurt. B12 vitamins can be dangerous if your do decide to supplement go for Methylcobalmin and not Cobalmin as it contains cyanide

It has been proven that older people who have dementia also have low b12 and vitamin D levels and sometimes supplementing can reverse dementia symptoms. That is pretty bombshell.
It is best to take vitamin D first thing in the morning with your breakfast it is fat soluble so you need to eat some fat with it for it to have the best absorbtion. Do not take magnesium at the same time as vitamin D because they compete with one another take your magnesium before bed. Take your vitamin B6 in the form of unfortified nutritional yeast in small doses through out the day because it exits your body through urine. It does no good to take a high dose you will loose it. I just take two small spoons per day.
For magnesium I make magnesium oil from magnesium flakes. It absorbs through the skin. The recipe is very simple just take one cup of magnesium flakes, add it to one cup of boiling water stir till dissolved and let cool put in a glass spray bottle as plastic will leech chemicals. And voila you have Magnesium oil. Do not use metal to stir use a wood or plastic spoon contact with metal will destroy some of the minerals. 4 sprays will give you 66mg you can take 10 to 20 sprays per day. The best place to spray it is your under arm because of the fatty tissue, and your lower stomach as well. It may itch and burn that is it absorbing. If you must wash it off then try to wait 20 muintes but it is best not to wash it off.
You can also take foot baths with magnesium flakes, that will raise your blood magnesium levels and it will be comforting and soothing. It will not itch like the spray.
There are also trace mineral drops that you can add to your water. I keep a bottle and just add 2 to 6 drops per glass of water. It is a way to get some much needed minerals. Heres a link again just an example, I do not buy form here.

You can also take magnesium supplements here is a link to the different kinds I am taking Magnesium Malate

Also there is making sole water sole water has 84 minerals including magnesium. Sole water is just pink Himalayan salt dissolved in water. You can also take a foot bath with Himalayan salt. It has amazing abilities to help with allergies. I have severe allergies and if I add about 1/4 of a cup of Himalayan salt to the water in my foot bath and my allergies clear up within minutes. It does not seem to last more than a few hours but it is definitely something. might not work for every one but works for me.
How to make sole water
Take a jar fill 1/4 full of Himalayan salt, fill with bottled water of your choice. Leave two inches at the top. Slightly swish the salt around by moving the jar in small circular motions. This is the only time you will need to stir your sole water. Let it sit over night in the morning if there is still salt in the bottom of the jar it means that it absorbed all it could. Then your sole water is ready. If there is no salt add more and check again the next day do this until there is still salt in the bottom. Do not use metal to stir or it will destroy the minerals, do not use a metal lid. Use saran wrap or a plastic lid. When you take the sole water start with 1/4 of a teaspoon and add it to a glass of water, you can work your way up to 1 tsp. You only need to take this once per day. They say to take it first thing in the morning on and empty stomach and then wait 15 minutes before eating or drinking anything else so your body can absorb the minerals. Your sole water should be clear water, that is the part you want to take. Do not stir the sole water. Just skim your tsp of sole water off the top with the clear water and add it to your water.
You will know when you have reached optimum magnesium levels when you get a loose stool at that point back off a bit.
