DrBeen#42 Potential Role of Magnesium for Long COVID and Vaccine Injury Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

DrBeen#42 Potential Role of Magnesium for Long COVID and Vaccine Injury

Magnesium is an essential mineral/nutrient required for more than 600 enzymatic actions in our body. Magnesium levels are also tied closely with the activation of vitamin D. Magnesium is involved in smooth muscle relaxation, neuroprotection, innate arm modulation, gut microbiome modulation, and much more. Let's look at the role of magnesium and importance of its adequate levels in our body.

DrBeen#37 Photobiomodulation (PBM) is Neuroprotective

Photobiomodulation and methylene blue are neuroprotective. These interventions not only reduce cellular apoptosis, but also improve the tissue healing by improving the blood flow to the tissues. Let's review how photobiomodulation works to help mitochondria heal and function correctly.
