j0255373Every once in awhile, I discover shocking information that pharmaceutical companies really don’t want you to know.

This is information about therapies so simple, so elegant and so natural that they just can’t be patented and sold for millions of dollars. For example, Podcast Episode #31 revealed Oil of Oregano to be one of the most potent and healthy anti-viral and anti-septic agents you could add to your kitchen cupboard, for under thirty bucks.

In this free May 27 audio episode, I introduce another entirely natural and inexpensive compound that literally lies directly beneath your feet, in the soil. I’ve had my eye on this particular compound for several months, because it packs a powerful punch for human physical performance, testosterone release, muscle and strength gains, elimination of fatigue, cardiovascular health and reduction of heart attack risk, bone density, and a solution for muscular cramps and spasms.

I truly believe that a whole new world of sports medicine is going to explode onto the scene when athletes and coaches find out that this 100% natural and legal performance aid is available for simple and convenient topical use.

The compound is Magnesium Chloride, and I was able to hunt down one of the world’s experts on the therapeutic use and application of the various forms of magnesium.

Dr. Mark Sircus holds the honorary title of doctor of Oriental medicine and was one of the first nationally certified acupuncturists in the United States. For many years he has been researching into the human condition and into the causes of disease. His primary focus in recent years has been the study of environmental toxicity and diseases and he has written many books on the poisons in our environment, our foods, medicines and dental practices. Dr. Sircus is the director of the International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA), which is currently advocating radical changes in orthodox medicine.

Before you read about the completely untapped resource that Dr. Sircus and I discuss in this week’s audio podcast, I would highly recommend that you quickly review this article on magnesium and sports performance, this article on magnesium and musculoskeletal integrity, and this article on transdermal magnesium therapy.

During our discussion, Dr. Sircus reveals…transdermal

-The identity of three compounds that he considers to be the “Holy Trinity of Medicine”, which most Western doctors rarely consider in therapy…

-A raging epidemic of magnesium deficiency, and why you cannot store enough magnesium in your own body…

-The shocking complete underutilization of magnesium, especially by sports teams, coaches, and athletes…

-Why magnesium is one of the leading causes of heart attacks in young, healthy people who die during exercise…

-How much magnesium really ends up getting transferred (or not transferred) from the soil into your fruits and vegetables…

-What the general population will discover about chronic fatigue and fat loss when they begin using topical magnesium…

-The best source to find topical magnesium oil (click here for an actual link to Dr. Sircus’s #1 Recommended Source for Topical Magnesium Oil)

If you find this information intriguing, and you as a coach, athlete or weekend warrior want to learn even more about the topic, Dr. Sircus’s impressive book  “Transdermal Magnesium Therapy” is available by clicking here. In the meantime, I am personally introducing this unbelievable sports performance compound to the training and racing protocols of myself and the athletes that I coach, as well as the individuals who I consult for fat loss and energy. We are using a simple spray-on application for the fore-arms, prior to exercise. I have found a reliable source to be Magnetic Clay Ancient Minerals Ultra Pure Magnesium Oil.
