Magnesium Levels Vital for Strong Immune Response to Infections and Cancer
Magnesium deficiency is associated with a variety of diseases, such as infections and cancer.
The level of magnesium in the blood is an important factor in the immune system’s ability to tackle pathogens and cancer cells. Writing in the journal Cell, researchers from the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel have reported that T cells need a sufficient quantity of magnesium in order to operate efficiently. Their findings may have important implications for cancer patients.
Now, researchers have discovered that T cells can eliminate abnormal or infected cells efficiently only in a magnesium-rich environment.

The Difference Between Drugs and Nutrition Supplements for the treatment of Neuropathy
No matter what the cause of your neuropathy, a person has only a few choices about what to do about it..
The Drug Approach
What a medication does is it gets the body to do something that it normally wouldn't do. When it comes to a medication, the body reacts in certain ways to this medication and it is done in order to achieve a desirable effect. For instance, in order to balance itself and handle the effects of the prescribed drug, the body has to lower its blood pressure. If this is what you want to happen because its a blood pressure medication, it's a good thing.
However, there are also various other ways the body can react to the medication and sometimes this is not such a good thing - this is called a "side effect". It is the reason someone can wind up on more than one blood pressure medication. A medication is given in an attempt to balance the other medication so as not to create the various side effects. It is a balancing act.
The Natural Approach
What a nutritional supplement does is give the body the actual tools it needs to restore health to the body.
In the case of neuropathy, it is the nerve cell that is damaged. The body needs certain tools (nutritional factors) to do this. Drugs treat the symptom, not the cause of the problem.
As with our example of blood pressure, if they don't know what is causing the high blood pressure, the drug just lowers it artificially.
The cause of nerve damage is known - it can be the result of too much sugar in the blood, the chemicals used in cancer treatments, trauma etc. - but one thing is known, the damage is done to the cell and this causes the pain, tingling and numbness, etc.
You can cover this up with pain killers, or with other drugs that are manufactured to handle this, but the drugs aren't getting the body to build health. They are trying to forces the body to not give you pain, not give you tingling, etc., And sometimes more damage to the nerve cell might happen due to the side effects of the medication or the other drugs you might be taking,
The Nutritional Approach
Nutritional supplements are actually vitamins and minerals that the body needs to build healthy cells.
In the case of neuropathy, there are specific ingredients needed by the body to restore health to the cells. These are the supplements you want to take.
Another difference is that if you are taking a drug and just covering up symptoms, you have to continue to take the drug to get relief and sometimes even have to increase the drug to get the same relief.
If you take natural supplements, the body build healthy cells, and as long as you don't do anything to damage the cells again, there is an end to taking the supplements.

Why you can improve your diabetic condition with exercise?
The type 2 diabetic condition is brought about by a diet that is too high in carbohydrates and a lack of nutrients, which results in the insulin the body naturally produces becoming less and less effective in keeping blood sugar levels under control and in a normal range.
While change in diet and proper nutritional supplementation have a dramatic effect in bringing blood sugar levels down, exercise can greatly contribute to the overall control of the diabetic condition, as can be seen in the following excerpt:
"While many people may begin exercising out of a sense of responsibility - the way children eat vegetables they don't like - the main reason they keep exercising is that it feels good."
"Overall, people who exercise regularly are better equipped to carry on day-to-day activities as they age."
"One of the great benefits is that many people find that when they exercise, they have less desire to overeat."
"Even though your fat won't 'melt away,' exercise, particularly if you're a Type II diabetic, is still of value in a weight-reduction program because muscle building reduces insulin resistance."
"As you increase your muscle mass, your insulin needs will be reduced - and having less insulin present in your bloodstream will reduce the amount of fat you pack away."
"As a result, your own insulin production gradually becomes more effective at lowering blood sugar."
excerpted from Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution
by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein
