Marc has made several references to Bb consuming magnesium...
Here is a more recent reference Marc has made Bb feeding off of Magnesium, post #81802
<<<<<Re: [lymestrategies] Non Salt/C: Racing Heart
Hi Lymegal,
Potassium is an electrolyte that interacts with calcium, magnesium and others in many metabolic actions.
Low potassium levels can see racing heart and is often recommended for it.
Lesser known is that calcium is the electrolytic mineral that causes muscles to contract. Magnesium causes them to relax.
The heart is a muscle as well. Calcium is what causes it to contract in a beat, magnesium relaxes it for the next beat. They work back and forth.
Where magnesium is also a little low, the relaxation time may be a little shorter, so the effect can be a quickening of pulse.
Lymies typically are deficient in magnesium too because Bb feeds on it.
However, the best is to take it as CalMag, a 2:1 calcium to magnesium mix. The potassium electrolyte can be low too where the others are off.
Some folks find a little Cream of Tartar in warm water sipped helps as well as with irregular pulse (it is inexpensive potassium bitartrate) and is anti-fungal too.
For overall heart health, Hawthorn is the best (used it a lot in remedying my atrial fibrillation and acute arrhythmia years ago).

Yes, Bryan is correct. That research came out a few years back that rather than parasiting iron (as many microbes do, such as Babesia), Borrelia b. parasites magnesium.
You can find the abstracts. This, long with electrolyte drain, is why Lymies are typically low in magnesium as well as other minerals.
Thus our long-standing proviso for minerals (like Concentrace) as integral part of the protocol.

"Most depleted minerals in our Lyme patients are often copper, magnesium, manganese (in Lyme) and iron (in Babesiosis). Bb and Bartonella need magnesium to duplicate and deplete the hosts body rapidly. Copper and iron have all but disappeared from most of our supplements based on faulty interpretation of hair analysis. The immune system uses those two metals in the process of phagocytosis"

"Magnesium deficiency is very often present and quite severe. Hyperreflexia, muscle twitches, myocardial irritability, poor stamina and recurrent tight muscle spasms are clues to this deficiency."

Hi Mary Ellen,
You might consider getting Homozon.
It is ozone bonded to magnesium which is released in the digestive and alimentary tract.
Lymies are notoriously drained of magnesium which the Bb feeds upon, so that is a plus.
But the larger benefit is the ozone. Stomach issues, pain, constipation are all consistent with low positive flora relative to bad, pathogenic bacteria, yeast and parasites. Over time, with use, the Homozon helps clean the tract and kill these things off.
Supplementing with probiotics will help as well.

7a. A possible myth: Magnesium feeds lyme Posted by: "Phil Rich" philrich@... philcr2004 Date: Sun Jul 5, 2009 6:44 am ((PDT)) Hi everybody, My congratulations to Robin and Sue who have reached the same conclusion as I about whether magnesium is a food for lyme. I hesitated to start this discussion up on the group previous to this, but the fact is I have NEVER been able to find a single study that proves that ANY pathogen feeds off magnesium. I would LOVE to see any factual information that shows differently. I have been on the lyme groups since 2004 and the statement that "Magnesium feeds spirochetes" has been stated as fact for all that time. If someone has a link to ANY study that proves this, please forward it up. If this is a myth, it needs to stop. I already know some lymies who hesitate using magnesium because of this potential myth - much to their damage if it is just a myth!! Lyme disease is an inflammatory infection - magnesium is used by cells to counter inflammation. To quote: "Clearly, numerous inflammatory responses have the potential to develop in the wake of magnesium deficiency.7 " referenced from: Durlach J, Bac P, Bara M, Guiet-Bara A. Physiopathology of symptomatic and latent forms of central nervous system hyperexcitability due to magnesium deficiency: a current general scheme. Magnes Res 2000;13:293-302. As to Dr K stating that lyme feeds off magnesium in the gut... Could we have a reference from where/when Dr K said this? There is no mention of this on his website, and in fact he recommends taking magnesium. If he indeed HAS stated that lyme feeds off magnesium in the gut... I have ABSOLUTE respect for this man. I don't know how he has formulated this opinion and would equally be interested in seeing any research he has done in this field. Even if it is his intuition that guides him in make this statement, I for one am willing to certainly consider it - given how much experience he has treating lyme. But until I see a reference where he states it, I'll just hang fire a bit :-) Let the conversation begin :-) Phil
