A few years back, I noticed that the heels of my feet would hurt more than normal, and the pain never really went away after resting. Over time it became unbearable so I finally went to see a doctor and he told me I had plantars fasciitis. He told me that the only treatment would be drugs, or surgery.

Well, being a fan of neither, I decided to do some research to see if I could find a way to treat the pain naturally. While I was learning what did and didn't work, I was also taking over-the-counter ibuprofen to keep the pain at bay. Little did I know that this would impact the effectiveness of the nutritional supplements I was taking.

And in fact, I would not learn of that fact until recently. I learned that taking Ibuprofen actually depletes the body of magnesium, so it actually stops the absorption of it. I also learned that the ibuprofen also contributed to the heart flutters that I was having, which also was linked to a lack of magnesium.

Long story short, I learned that magnesium was vital to keeping away eye twitches, leg cramps, plantars fasciitis, migraines, heart flutters, and a few other things that I wasn't bothered with.

So I did some experimenting and found that a diet high in magnesium actually reduced the pain considerably.

But here is the real eye-opener. We hear all the time about how we need more calcium in our diets. But never about magnesium. Well, I learned that too much calcium can actually cause the magnesium to be depleted! I was amazed!

The bottom line is it is all about balance. When your body is in balance, it can take care of the pains. When it is out of balance, it will let you know.

We just have to learn what the symptoms are and take action accordingly. Most of the diseases we have today can be helped if not cured by proper nutritional intake. That has been proven. When the body falls into an acidic state, it is open to any diseases. However those same diseases cannot live in an alkaline state.

Bringing the body back into alkaline is the key and that starts with Whole food nutrition.
