now i talked a lot about the importance of  magnesium but today we’re going to talk about  

when not to take magnesium the danger of taking  too much magnesium is when the body cannot get  

rid of it normally we have a mechanism in our  kidneys that can easily get rid of excess amounts  

of magnesium but there’s certain conditions where  we can’t there’s also certain laxatives that you  

can get that are magnesium based which will  give you like 5000 milligrams of magnesium  

per day and our bodies really only need less than  one tenth of that so if we’re taking that much  

and there’s certain organ problems that prevent  the elimination of magnesium then you could be in  

trouble here are just a few symptoms of what could  occur if you have too much magnesium diarrhea  

nausea abdominal cramping low blood pressure  depression lethargy difficulty breathing  

irregular heartbeat and cardiac arrest now let’s  talk about four situations in which you would  

not want to take a lot of potassium maybe you  could take up to 200 milligrams and you wouldn’t  

necessarily have to worry about it from your food  but you wouldn’t want to be taking large amounts  

number one and the big one is kidney disease if  you have chronic kidney disease that’s going to  

really inhibit your ability to get rid of the  excess now if you’re a diabetic and you have  

something called diabetic nephropathy now that’s  different than neuropathy which is a nerve problem  

nephropathy is a kidney problem all right  next one is if you’re on dialysis okay  

and also if on your urine test you see something  that says low gfr that indicates that your kidneys  

ability to filter is lower than it should be so  you’re not going to get rid of excessive magnesium  

all right next condition is hypothyroidism in  hypothyroidism everything is slowed down okay  

and then you have addison’s disease which is a  condition of your adrenal glands which they’re  

pretty much shot they’re not working it’s a  hypoadrenal state and so again you’re not going  

to be able to get rid of excessive magnesium and  lastly if you’re taking certain medications that  

can inhibit your ability to get rid of magnesium  like fosamex that’s normally for osteoporosis  

certain antibiotics uh diuretics and lithium all  right thanks for watching and i put some links
