today we’re going to talk about a trace

mineral that can greatly help someone if

they have a condition of excessive

blinking jerking twitching and other tic

like motions there’s various conditions

like Tourette syndrome or tardive

dyskinesia or dystonia involving

involuntary repetitive body motions

could be anything grimacing sticking

your tongue out smacking your lips and

the list goes on and on and on now

there’s a certain part of the brain

involved in suppressing these abnormal

muscle movements is called extra

pyramidal and sometimes not always

people develop certain involuntary

movements as a side effect from taking

certain site drugs or tranquilizers for

a period of time now it could also occur

from having some type of damage to this

part of the brain now it just so happens

that this part of the brain needs a lot

of manganese not magnesium but manganese

to function and there’s some interesting

research on taking this very inexpensive

trace mineral ten milligrams three times

a day in improving these symptoms and

sometimes it’s a combination of taking

something that’s depleting your

manganese or other nutrients and not

consuming the foods high in a certain

nutrient manganese is in spinach it’s in

almonds it’s in brand now the problem is

spinach and almonds are high in oxalates

and oxalates block the absorption of

manganese so if you’re consuming a lot

of these you’re probably not going to

get enough manganese also bran in grains

which we don’t recommend is loaded with

manganese but this has something called

phytic acid which blocks manganese which

is a trace mineral so if you’re

expressing your symptoms I really don’t

believe that you’re gonna be able to get

enough manganese from your diet you’re

gonna have to take it as a supplement

ten milligrams three times a day if

you’re gonna do this also add in

magnesium because magnesium is also

involved in a lot of other coenzymes as

a helper molecule involved in the

biochemical processes

also add vitamin b3 that’s called niacin

but let’s look at some other effects

that can occur if you’re deficient in

manganese

all right blood sugar problems you can

be you can have insulin resistance

pre-diabetes or even diabetes you can

have a problem in mineralizing your

bones and you can end up with

osteoporosis or osteopenia you can have

impaired growth so if your mother was

deficient in manganese when she was

pregnant with you you may not reach your

full growth also you may have skeletal

structural abnormalities you can have

skin rashes low manganese can increase

your risk for epilepsy having more pain

and inflammation muscle spasm and having

excessive amounts of ammonia because

manganese is involved in something

called the urea cycle which is involved

with breaking protein down and making

sure that this is detoxified so you

don’t build up too much ammonium so if

you know of someone who has this

definitely get them to try manganese to

see if it can actually help thanks for
