The Life Saving Value of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P) and Magnesium

The Life Saving Value of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P) and Magnesium

April 27, 2012

Everyone has heard of vitamin B6 and a few may even be able to tell you that the B vitamins have a lot of research on energy and the nervous system. Vitamin B6 is critical for life itself. Having low levels of this key nutrient can lead to skin disorders, depression, dizziness, headaches, and other, more serious problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. Yet you may be surprised to learn that vitamin B6 is one of the best natural compounds around to treat all kinds of nerve pain. But it is not always easy to get from the diet. Did you know that cooking, freezing, canning, storing or processing foods can deplete their vitamin B6 content by as much as 50%? And did you know that some people cannot use certain forms of vitamin B6 effectively? There is a special, active form of vitamin B6 that your body can easily utilize called pyridoxal-5-phosphate, or P5P for short. This form has amazing healing properties. I frequently recommend it to people suffering from nerve pain, burning feet (diabetic neuropathy), carpal tunnel syndrome, PMS, and edema (water retention), among other conditions. The results for these people have been outstanding. In this issue of Terry Talks Nutrition, we will review some of the conditions that can benefit the most from the active form – P5P – of vitamin B6, as well as a mineral partner that can greatly impact your health, or even prevent certain surgeries!

Q. Dear Terry, “I recently had a complete hysterectomy, which caused me to go into menopause. I am experiencing multiple symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness, vaginal dryness, etc.), but don't want to take HRT long term. I was on it for 6 months following my surgery, but stopped taking it because I am afraid of cancer issues and other side effects. Are there any natural alternatives to HRT?” — Mary H., Kansas City, KS

Do you Experience Fatigue After Working on the Computer All Day?

Tired eyes can actually make your entire body tired. To strengthen your eyes, reduce eye fatigue and regenerate your vision, use black currant and astaxanthin which Dr. Oz calls the super-duper antioxidant. Black currant has been researched in Japan to improve night vision and overall healthy vision. Studies in Japan also have shown black currant reduces the black circles under the eyes. Black currant also improves capillary strength by reducing floaters in the eye.

Three Things to do Every Day

Most times, it’s not the big events in life or the big breaks that get us where we need to be, it’s the little things, the daily disciplines that move us forward in the good things God has for us.

I believe there are three things you can do every day that can change the course of your life. Number one, expect God’s goodness. Get up every day looking for God’s favor. Number two, recognize God’s goodness. There are no coincidences, no lucky breaks. It’s all the goodness of God. And number three, always thank God for His goodness. Anytime something good happens, big or little, give God the glory. “Lord, thank You for that parking spot. Lord, thank You for that idea. Lord, thank You for sending me dew in my desert.”

If you do this, I believe and declare that you’re going to come into more of God's goodness; that His blessings are going to come after you. God is going to open up supernatural doors. He’s going to turn negative situations around. Get ready because something good is coming your way! You’re going to fulfill your God-given destiny because He never forsakes those who seek after Him!

Father, I do set my heart and mind on You today. I expect Your goodness because I know You are faithful. Every good and perfect thing comes from You. Thank You for Your hand of blessing on every area of my life in Jesus’ name! Amen.
