beryllium and nickel.
Magnesium in general is essential for the survival of our cells but
takes on further importance in the age of toxicity where our bodies are
being bombarded on a daily basis with heavy metals. Glutathione
requires magnesium for its synthesis. Glutathione synthetase requires
y-glutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP, and magnesium ions to form
glutathione. In magnesium deficiency, the enzyme y-glutamyl
transpeptidase is lowered. According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, low
magnesium is associated with dramatic increases in free radical
generation as well as glutathione depletion and this is vital since
glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules known to neutralize
mercury. Without the cleaning and chelating work of glutathione
(magnesium), cells begin to decay as cellular filth and heavy metals
accumulate; excellent environments to attract deadly infection/cancer.
