Due to its alkalinrity it combats acids, toxins, gases, and tapurities within the body. Poisons are neutralized, the nierves are cooled and the intestines purified when magnesium is liberally available.

Magnesium has great sedative properties par- ticularly for the highly emio- tional person or for those whose imagination runs ram- pant. For this reason it is known as the GREAT RELAXER. MAGNESIUM deficiency is *extremeîly prevalent in North Amierican society, where gov- c*remment surveyTs show the *average Amierican diet pro- vides only 40% of the recomi- mended daiîy allowance (RDi\j for Viagnesium.

Only 1% of the magnesium in the blood is in the serumn (the watery part of the blood), the rest bemng pre- sent, OR ABSENT, in the red blood celis. This fact does not assist diagnosis. I know this from personal experience, having had to send blood to the USA for testing, during a Urne of recovery. A good reserve of magne- sium in the body is said to lower fevers and cool the liver. In The Chemistry of Man, by Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., PhiD., the author states that Il rolonged magnesium pover- ty inflames the nerves, destroys thoughts, ambition. lessens, and love is fickle!!

Does this sound familiar to anyone? The author goes on to say that,negative passions such as hatred, jealousy, quarrels. resentment, bitter- ness, hostility, selfishness and greed need large amounts of magnesium. Therefore. they destroy the magnesium reserve! Negative emotions are disastrous to health uinder the best of care.

If you're a drinker, it's ad,,ised that you increase your intake of rnag- nesium. If your daily workout is exhausting, its possible that you'd benefit from addi- tional mragnesium. Women on the pill or taking estrogen in any formn would be well- advised to eat magnesium- rich foods. Many people com- plain tLhat chiropractic adjustments of the spine do not hold and the joints slip out of place again. It isMwse to keep in mimd that magnesium is fou-nd i the tendons and ligaments and it is necessary to have a good reserve of it to mnake the vertebrae stay in their proper position.

With funding from the Ontario Mînîstry of Natural Resources, Communîty Wildlife Involvemnent Program (CWIP),. they are continuing to improve the biodiversity of thîs Provincially Significant Wetiand in your '4backyard"'. This Urne it's the "snake in the grass.- who wiIl benefît fromn the effort of this active environmnental group and their volunteer corp. Construction is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 27, on two snake hibernaculums. These hiber- naculums are large pits filled with rubble and stones meant to mimic the caves and crevices that snakes com- monly use to hibernate. Snakes, like other reptiles are cold blooded. This means their body heat is controlled by the outside temperature. When the weather gets cold- er, they search for a suitable protected place to hibemnate and sleep until spring. As we work toward improv- ing the biodiverslty of this wetland, it is important to create opportunities for those less than favourite, but al important snakes. Snake counts here are low, with only the Eastern Carter Snake breeding. Wîth improved win- ter habitat, we hope to attract more species and improve the population density that is currently here. Snakes are an integral part of the food chain, with a diet consisting of frogs, fish, rodents and insects. So put your fears aside, and learn more about this interesting creature. We need approximately 25 volunteers, young and old alike to assist in the placement of rubble and stone in the excavated pîts. We reconmmiend that you wear a good pair of work gloves and work boots. We will meet at the Colonel Sam Drive trail entrance at the Partnership Sign; 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Please RSVP Friends of Second Marsh 905-723-5047 to reg- ister. i f YMisty is a tan and black 4Shiepherd Cross.
