Naproxen (Aleve) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).  NSAIDs, which also include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.), celecoxib (Celebrex) and aspirin are extremely dangerous drugs.  Even the FDA underestimates annual deaths from NSAIDs at approximately 16,500 deaths a year.  Problem is that many deaths from NSAIDs do not get reported as such but rather get reported by their side effects that include heart attack, stroke, liver failure or kidney failure.  And contrary to popular belief these side effects do not require long term use or overdose. These side effects can occur with a single recommended dose. For instance there were 2 dozen deaths from ibuprofen induced hepatitis during clinical trials of the drug. And I know 4 people who developed kidney failure from taking a single recommended dose of ibuprofen.

Aspirin is the safest of the NSAIDs, but still accounts for about 5,000 deaths a year and is well know for causing peptic ulcers that can hemorrhage leading to death.  Taking an aspirin during a heart attack is also one of the worse things you can possibly do as studies have proven. Unfortunately the aspirin sales propaganda has become such a part of our societal beliefs with even doctors falling for the taking aspirin during a heart attack nonsense.  Here is a copy of a post I did on this on Dr. Oz' blog site:

Why does Dr. Oz keep repeating the take an aspirin during a heart attack myth?

Research has shown that taking an aspirin during a heart attack is detrimental.

The problem is that aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). These drugs reduce inflammation by CONSTRICTING blood vessels. Same reason NSAIDs have been shown to cause heart attacks and strokes. Since the heart attack is caused by a lack of blood flow to the heart to begin with further reducing the blood flow to the heart during a heart attack with an NSAID is just plain stupid and again has been shown in studies to be detrimental.

Aspirin will reduce platelet adhesion, but not fast enough to be of any benefit during a heart attack.

Furthermore, not all heart attacks are from blood clots in the first place. They can also result from a number of other reasons including air or plaque embolus, blood vessel constriction (NSAIDs, high serum calcium, high insulin levels,etc.), vasospasm, electrical shock, hypovolemia, etc.

Even if due to a thrombus (blood clot) the aspirin will not dissolve the blood clot. So again no benefit during a heart attack. You need fibrolytics to dissolve blood clots, which aspirin is not one.

Neither are blood thinners such as heparin or Coumadin (Warfarin). In fact most medical personnel are not aware either that repetitive heparin therapy can cause deadly blood clots (white thrombus syndrome) due to the immune reaction against this foreign protein derived from pig lungs.

The recommendation of a daily aspirin by some doctors is also a bad idea. Aspirin is well known for causing peptic ulcers and internal bleeding that can result in death. The reason is aspirin interferes with hormones known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are best known for dilating blood vessels, which improves circulation and also leading to inflammation. One prostaglandin interfered with by aspirin though is also responsible for producing the stomach's protective mucous lining that protects the stomach from damage from digestive juices. Therefore, when regular aspirin use is used the protective lining is lost and the stomach can be ulcerated by the digestive juices leading to ulcers and bleeding including deadly hemorrhaging."


If you are making the magnesium product then it sounds like you are referring to "magnesium oil", which is actually magnesium chloride.  Not as good as magnesium malate. Magnesium malate is a magnesium salt consisting of magnesium and malic acid. Both magnesium and malic acid increase cellular ATP levels helping cells to not only function but to function properly.  You can find this in health food stores.

Calcium is actually a muscle contracting compound and thus does just the opposite of muscle relaxants. This is also why high serum calcium can lead to high blood pressure, constipation, muscle cramps/spasms and even mental fogginess (from decreased blood flow to brain).

This is the reason I recommend people taking magnesium use equal or slightly higher amounts of magnesium than calcium or in some cases skip the calcium altogether. It is easy to get plenty of calcium from magnesium rich foods like dark green leafy vegetables. Preferably ones low in oxalic acid though.

And the normally high dose recommendations for calcium tend to be ridiculous anyway.  Most often we hear 1200mg of calcium daily. This is based on studies that used poorly absorbed calcium carbonate. So the researchers figured if people took excessively high doses that they may absorb sufficient calcium. If taking acidified forms of calcium such as calcium citrate or malate absorption is significantly higher and thus people can get by with lower doses.

And don't forget that calcium is not the most important nutrient for bones. Silica is. Followed by various amino acids (lysine, hydroxylysine, proline, hydroxyproline and glycine particularly), vitamin C, and traces of copper and zinc. Then comes calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, strontium, natural fluoride, boron and vitamins A (very small amounts), D, E and K and fatty acids. Calcium does not form or strengthen bones by itself.
