MD Cause:  Unknown.

MD Rx:  Muscle relaxant pharmaceuticals.

ND Cause: Calcium, magnesium and Omega-3 EFA deficiencies.

Discussion: Your body needs calcium, magnesium and Omega-3 fatty acids to help your muscles constrict and relax. If you don’t have enough of these nutrients then muscles will constrict, but not relax. This is called a cramp or a spasm. The same mechanism is at play when you get muscle tics or twitches. The FIRST things to consider when muscular spasms, cramps, tics or twitches are present, are calcium, magnesium, Omega 3s, or all three.

My Rx: In addition to the 90 EN:

• Beyond Osteo Fx powder: 1 bottle per 100 pounds per month. 2 scoops per bottle per day in 2 divided doses. Mix 1 scoop with 3 ounces of fresh squeezed orange juice and 3 ounces of water.

• Plant Derived Minerals: 1 bottle per 100 pounds per month. 1 ounce per bottle per day in divided doses. It is OK to mix this with any of the other liquids. Conversely, you can take the Ultimate Mineral caps instead. This product will cost less to ship – especially overseas. Get 1 bottle per 200 pounds per month. Take 1 cap per 100 pounds per day between meals.

• Projoba Omega: 1 bottle per 100 pounds per month. Take in 2 or 3 divided doses with food.
