Thanks JBG!  I am going to try to find that study on the people living longer in the Himalayas..... I just started a concentrated trace mineral supplement.  It has 63% of the recommended DV for magnesium, and almost 100 trace minerals (also sourced from rocks).  I take my vitamins and Noopept in the morning, I drink mineral water throughout the day, and I have a heavier dose of minerals later in the day -- I think the magnesium and lithium will aid in sleep.

For so long like an idiot I've known about Shilajit but never actually used it.  Thanks to the Mother and Father of creation (subjective dogmatic viewpoints so there public) there is infinite number of pana see ic herbs and soulutions but it becomes soooo much that my brain goes hay wire unable to comprehend all the miracles at our disposal.  So anyways to JBG, I did some Hapi snuff today and often when I have this medicine I will get this clear intuitive thought afterwords.  I was thinking of your very informative post here on Shilajit and I had the thought... Ayahuasca Admixture Supreme? Do you have any opinions on this?  ps the noopept/ micro aya program is like zap zap boom buhm.  To the epic center.  Much thanks for your ever groundbreaking movements.

11 Miraculous Ways Magnesium Heals Your Mind & Body By Marcus Julian Felicetti I could easily write a whole book on Magnesium and its very powerful healing properties. Indeed, many books have been dedicated to the subject, and I encourage everyone to read them. As a yoga therapist that has worked for many years using yoga postures and natural remedies to heal, Magnesium is always the first supplement I suggest. In a moment, you'll understand why.  If you think that the amount of Magnesium you obtain from your food is sufficient without supplementation, then I would say thinking is for people who don't know. Be sure by having it tested. And when you do have it tested, aim to have optimum levels of Magnesium, not just meeting the minimum.  Remember that even organic soils are depleted of minerals. And non-organic farming has virtually no nutrients in it. Furthermore, there are many ways in which Magnesium is lost from the body, e.g. alcohol, coffee, black tea, grains, soy, most pharmaceutical drugs, calcium supplements.    Benefits of Magnesium:   1. Better sleep - The sleep regulating hormone melatonin is disturbed when Magnesium is deficient. Furthermore, Magnesium brings balance and controls stress hormones. Stress and tension are often reasons why people suffer from insomnia in the first place. 2. Relaxes the nervous system - Serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system and elevates mood, is dependent on Magnesium. 3. Bigger, stronger muscles - Magnesium allows the body to produce more Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1), which is a major contributor to the growth and strength of muscles. Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the cell's energy store, and is created with help from Magnesium. 4. Better flexibility - Magnesium loosens tight muscles. Without Magnesium, muscles do not relax properly and cramps occur. Magnesium is important for flexibility, because low Magnesium results in a buildup of lactic acid, causing pain and tightness. 5. Bone integrity and strength - Magnesium helps to fix calcium properly. It may blow some people's mind that the calcium supplements they're taking are not only useless, but are actually contributing to osteoporosis! There are actually about eighteen essential nutrients that contribute to bone health; Magnesium is definitely one of the most essential, because it stimulates a particular hormone called calcitonin. And, it also suppresses a hormone called parathyroid that breaks down bone. 6. Remineralizes teeth - Magnesium deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorous and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth. 7. Alkalizes the body - Magnesium helps return the body’s pH balance. Magnesium reduces lactic acid, which is partly responsible for post-exercise pain (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). 8. Hydrates - Magnesium is a necessary electrolyte essential for proper hydration. 9. Helps to relieve constipation - Magnesium can be used to cleanse the bowels of toxins. 10. Enzyme function - Enzymes are protein molecules that stimulate every chemical reaction in the body. Magnesium is required to make hundreds of these enzymes work and assists with thousands of others. 11. Diabetes - Magnesium enhances insulin secretion, which facilitates sugar metabolism. Without Magnesium, glucose is not able to transfer into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood, causing various types of tissue damage, including the nerves in the eyes.   There are many other benefits of Magnesium: It helps prevent stroke, heart disease, period pain, and more.
