Ziklag - The Magnesium Lie

Why Your Broccoli Isn’t Saving You

Modern medicine is big business.

And like most industries, it thrives not by solving, but by managing—profitably. If you’ve ever been told your enamel can’t regenerate, or that your best hope is fluoridated water, you’ve drunk at least a little of the KhoolAid, and probably gone back for more.

Now comes the latest trend on social media: “Just take Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂) daily and watch your teeth remineralize and whiten in 30 days.”

It sounds too good to be true. So is it? Let’s break it down.

Magnesium Chloride: Chemistry 101

Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal (atomic number 12) with two valence electrons it’s eager to give up, making it biologically active as Mg²⁺. When paired with two chloride ions (Cl⁻), it forms MgCl₂, an ionic compound that dissolves readily in water.

Once dissolved, it releases free magnesium and chloride ions—each of which plays vital roles in the body:

• Mg²⁺ stabilizes ATP, aids in DNA repair, and modulates nerve and muscle function.

• Cl⁻ contributes to acid-base balance, hydration, and digestion via hydrochloric acid.

On paper, Magnesium Chloride seems like a win. It dissolves well. It’s absorbed reasonably. It supports hundreds of enzymatic reactions.

But here’s the catch…

Bioavailability Isn’t the Same as Usability

Yes, MgCl₂ is more bioavailable than other inorganic magnesium salts. But take too much and your body rebels. That rebellion takes the form of osmotic diarrhea.

This isn’t an error in function—it’s the design. The unabsorbed magnesium in your gut pulls water into your colon, resulting in loose stools, cramping, and urgency. It’s why magnesium is used clinically as a laxative, not a first-choice remineralization tool.

So unless your digestive tract is a perfectly tuned machine—and you’re taking it in small, strategic doses—MgCl₂ is likely to do more flushing than fortifying.

The Great Magnesium Hoax: Spinach, Seeds, and Green Myths

Nutritionism—the dogmatic religion of the 20th century—insists you get your magnesium from “whole foods”: leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

This is nutritional nonsense.

Yes, these foods contain magnesium on paper. But in practice, your body can’t use it—because it’s bound up in anti-nutrients like:

• Phytates – found in grains and seeds; bind minerals and block absorption

• Oxalates – high in spinach, chard, and almonds; form insoluble salts with magnesium

• Fiber overload – accelerates transit time and decreases absorption

“Your spinach smoothie isn’t giving you minerals—it’s robbing them.”

Ancient cultures understood this. They soaked, fermented, and cooked these foods to reduce their toxicity and unlock nutrition. Today, we skip all that—then wonder why we’re nutrient deficient and chronically inflamed.

The Carnivore Correction: Real Food, Real Absorption

The carnivore community has exposed a fundamental truth: plant foods are not bioavailable by default.

In contrast, animal-based sources—beef, liver, heart, shellfish—deliver magnesium and its synergistic cofactors in the forms your body recognizes and absorbs:

• Beef heart: magnesium, coenzyme Q10, iron

• Liver: full-spectrum mineral and vitamin complex

• Bone broth: trace magnesium, collagen, and glycine

• Shellfish: zinc, magnesium, copper—nature’s electrolyte cocktail

None of these foods require soaking, fermenting, or mythologizing. They’re ready-made by God, not by Kellogg’s.

The Real Strategy for Remineralization

If you want to support enamel health, forget the greens aisle. Focus on:

• Calcium and phosphorus in proper ratios

• Magnesium from animal foods or chelated forms like glycinate

• Vitamin K2 and D3 to direct minerals where they belong

• A healthy oral pH environment—not wrecked by modern food, stress, or toothpaste chemicals

And if you still supplement, avoid the ones that destroy your gut to “help” your teeth.

⸻

The Simplicity That Was Always There

You’ve been told your health is complicated. But it’s not. It’s been confused on purpose by marketing, agriculture, and the collapse of ancestral knowledge.

Magnesium isn’t magic. And broccoli isn’t going to save your teeth—or your soul.

“Eat the animals. Drink the broth. Trust the design. Leave the oxalates in the garden.”

Let the record show: the Truth sets you free, not your fitness tracker or your food pyramid.
