“On August 4, 2003 at 11 pm after dinner, I developed bad heart palpitations and had to be rushed to the hospital. The medical staff tried various medications but to no avail. The following day at 2:30 pm, the nurse came in and informed me that if my heart did not stabilize by 3:30 pm they would have to administer an electrical shock. A month before this happened, Rose Stevens, who is my holistic health practitioner, had recommended I take her ionic magnesium supplement as a preventative for any abnormal heart rhythm. I bought some ionic magnesium from Rose, but put it on the shelf until I could do my own research. At 2:30 pm I sent my friend Stan home to bring the ionic magnesium bottle to the hospital because I was scared of the electrical shock therapy and was willing to try anything to bring my heart back into rhythm. At 3:10 Stan poured me 4-5 ounces into a cup. I held each ounce under my tongue, swished it around in my mouth, and swallowed as Rose had instructed me to do. She said it was very quickly absorbed through the sublingual mucus membranes in my mouth. By 3:20 pm the palpitations disappeared and my heart returned to normal rhythm. The nurse came in at 3:30 pm to check my monitor and remarked, “Oh! Your heart stabilized, no electric shock necessary. You can go home now. I guess the last medications that we gave you, stabilized your heart.” I know what stabilized my heart. It was the ionic magnesium!!!! As a preventative I take 1 tablespoon of ionic magnesium every night before I go to bed. In order to de-acidify my blood I also take a cocktail of Braggs un-pasteurized apple cider vinegar the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I put 2 tsp. in an 8 ounce glass of Nikken purified water which has an alkaline Ph very close to the human body. Acidosis causes many health problems and it is important that we alkalize our bodies to maintain optimum health.
