The Blaylock Report for this month is titled, "Can Sudden Cardiac Death Be Prevented?" I found several interesting facts, including this one:
Almost as many Americans die of sudden cardiac death each year as died in combat during all of World War II.Now, here is what I found to be most interesting. A list of risk factors includes a previous heart attack, diabetes, smoking, and obesity. In addition, the last risk factor listed is a magnesium deficiency.
According to the Blaylock Report, one study shows that 75 percent of normal people are deficient in magnesium - 50 percent severely.
Even scarier, a Gallop Poll shows that the vast majority of Americans, 86 percent, were not aware of the daily requirement of magnesium at all.
One way you significantly lower your magnesium levels is by drinking soft and diet drinks.
In addition to sudden cardiac death, low magnesium levels are also known to cause hardening of the arteries, increases inflammation in the body, makes the heart muscle irritable, and can cause seizures, among other things.
The good news? You can make sure you're getting enough magnesium every day through proper diet and supplementation.
Magnesium can be found widely in cereals and vegetables, including 100% bran cereals, avocados, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, spinach, barley grass, alfalfa leaf, sesame seeds, oatmeal and potatoes (baked, with skin).
My family and I take and market a whole-food supplement called The Pops™, from Whole Food Nation™. In particular, Pop-a-Green™ has twenty-five vegetables and food herbs, including spinach, barley leaf and alfalfa leaf.
So reduce your risk of sudden cardiac death by among other things, getting enough magnesium in your diet every day. You'll not only beat the odds, but have more energy, vitality and overall good health.

Wow, this was a tough one. My brother-in-law passed away from this on January 1st. What a way to welcome the new year. (My husband's only brother.)
What made things worse was he was all the way over in Dubai. We tried to keep our spirits up when we got the news hoping it was all a mistake, but when we got there, it hit us hard because the news was TRUE.
Still dealing with the pain today. So, I would suggest your readers take heed.
That comparison to WW II was really interesting. I never think too much about cardiac arrest but I suppose that I should. I take the Pops too-thank goodness.
Great site the PHelps news will be a record for posterity....talk about healthy this guy has some incredible genes!
Thanks for the wonderful info about sudden cardiac death and magnesium deficiency. I am 37 and was recently diagnosed with a form of heart failure- no one can seem to find the cause, but I have always suspected that I am deficient in magnesium, so I certainly will look into it!
