so I want to talk about the three main causes of twitching or tetany where you have this little it could be in the arm where it's like twitching or on your face it starts twitching and you're wondering what the heck is that well there's three main causes one is alkalosis okay this is a condition where your body is too alkaline and I'm talking about the blood that's very very difficult to test the pH of your blood because as soon as you pull it out it oxidizes and it changes the pH so it's very very difficult
so I put a video down below of all the symptoms and alkalosis so you can kind of see if maybe you have that condition okay now there's several causes to alkalosis one is decrease potassium okay in the diet number two is not enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach so if you don't have this certifiers you tend to go more on the alkaline side and that would be having your pH go a little higher than it should also cortisol which is triggered by stress that can also alkalize the body being on a diuretic you can lose
potassium and you have alkalosis as well now when the pH in your blood is a little too alkaline what happens since about 40% of your calcium is transported through a protein called albumin the calcium binds very very tightly to that protein and it becomes unavailable to you so we usually have low calcium okay and calcium is one of the electrolytes so if you don't have calcium you're going to have a problem with transmission of nerve and muscle impulses and you're going to get this phenomenon of twitching okay so the connection between alkalosis and twitching is
really the calcium okay now what it makes more sense to take more calcium now because calcium especially in the form of calcium carbonate like limestone is very alkalizing so that would make it worse because you're already alkaline what you have to do is drop the pH and we will talk about that in the next slide also if you're on any acids okay that's going to alkalize the body and that could be causing the alkalosis as well directly all right next thing is hypocalcemia that's low calcium in the blood we talked about that right here but
there's an actual entire condition hypocalcemia that could be coming from low parathyroid hormone or low vitamin D which is probably the more common cause some of the symptoms of hypocalcemia are tingling in the tips of the fingers okay around the mouth it can be another place as well on your toes and bottom of the feet arrhythmias of the heart palpitations psychosis depression anxiety low blood pressure and the last one is hypomagnesemia okay this is low magnesium in the blood that's gonna create tremors spasms fatigue arrhythmias pappa tations very similar to this right because this is
low calcium this is low magnesium this is low potassium this could be created from taking anti acids or let's say for example you had insulin resistance which most people do like a pre-diabetic state because you need the insulin transporters to transport magnesium antibiotics diuretics low vitamin D fluoride actually will lower your magnesium okay let's go right to the action steps here we go number one acidify apple cider vinegar start consuming that one the two tablespoons in a glass of water with the straw a few times a day you can take betaine hydrochloride if your hydrochloric
acid is as low and you take it right before you eat it'll help your digestion you can also get these in pill form okay so we want to acidify that's going to allow the calcium to unbind from the protein and the calcium will start to help in the normal contraction or relaxation process number two add magnesium and potassium just so happens both of those minerals are in these things called vegetables okay all right number three add some vitamin D that will increase the calcium if you're low lower stress of course get a water filter you
know instead of drinking tap water so you can pull out the fluorine and also get a shower filter so you can filter out the fluorides as well all right guys there you have it go ahead and get started so if you want to get notified with all my content click the notification bell next to subscribed
