A calcium deficiency can lead to muscle cramping, aches, pains and insomnia: signs of low calcium and also of fibromyalgia.

1. Fibromyalgia Remedies: Study
Shows Calcium and Magnesium
Deficiency
Fibromyalgia (pronounced fy-bro-my-
AL-ja), is a condition that affects five
to six million Americans. Eighty to
ninety percent of those diagnosed
with fibromyalgia are women and
most people are diagnosed during
middle age.
Fibromyalgia presents itself as
widespread chronic pain, multiple tender points in joints and muscles, sleep
disturbances and insomnia, extreme fatigue, stress, anxiety, and an interference with
basic daily activities.
The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, a leading chiropractic and
nutritional journal, published a study called “Hair calcium and magnesium levels in
patients with fibromyalgia – a case center study.” Regarding the results of this study, it
should be clarified that when a hair analysis finds a high amount of calcium in the hair, it
usually indicates a deficiency of calcium in the body.
The high calcium reading often represents a loss of calcium into the soft tissues. One
reason for the loss is that under certain circumstances the calcium provided by the diet
is not adequate or it’s not soluble or absorbable. This deficiency can lead to muscle
cramping, aches, pains and insomnia: the signs of low calcium and also of fibromyalgia.
The researchers noted that fibromyalgia is not an uncommon condition. Because its
cause has yet to be identified, fibromyalgia remedies and treatments can frequently lead
to unsatisfactory outcomes. Earlier tests showed that supplementing calcium with
magnesium to fibromyalgia subjects reduced their number of tender points and
discomfort.
The study objective was to determine the degree of difference between the hair calcium
and magnesium levels in patients with fibromyalgia and in healthy subjects. A review
was done of twelve patients who had a hair analysis performed and who met the criteria
of fibromyalgia as defined by American College of Rheumatology (rheumatology covers
disorders of the joints and muscles). These patients were then matched by age and sex
to twelve healthy subjects selected from the same patient files who had a hair analysis
performed for checkup purposes.
The results: their tests showed that the patients with fibromyalgia had substantially
higher hair calcium and magnesium levels than the other subjects. They concluded that
a fibromyalgia calcium deficiency exists and that calcium and magnesium supplements
are indicated as an additional beneficial treatment of fibromyalgia.

L.R.C. of Massachusetts says: "I had become dependent on sleeping drugs and
couldn’t sleep without them. Now I take the Sleep Minerals before bed and I can sleep
through the whole night without drugs. I’m also able to easily fall back to sleep if I do
have to get up. Another benefit is it helps alleviate my chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and
aches and pains."
