Asthma relief / magnesium

[Guest guest]

Wow- that's fantastic! Have you tried large doses of magnesium for the

asthma? That's the only thing I found that helped when I was having

pretty big problems awhile back. What I took was magnesium oxide - the

Spring Valley brand; didn't try anything else since that worked so

well and was so cheap. 8 pills stopped an attack within the hour, and

eased it every time after that. Now I make sure to take a fair amount

of magnesium at least every few days, and haven't had any asthma for

awhile. I moved, though, so that may have had something to do with it.

 

Just about everybody's deficient in magnesium, anyway.
