Since magnesium deficiency is reported to be the most commonly unrecognized

cation deficiency in current medicine, with no blood test that will

unequivocally rule it out, we devised an oral magnesium loading test (MLT). Of

100

randomly selected patients, over 51% reported marked improvement in symptoms.

Of the positive responders, 70% of the improved symptoms were referable to

the central and peripheral nervous system. An increase in energy was reported

in 50%, improved musculoskeletal symptoms in 38%, and additional improvement

was noted in asthma (18%), irritable bowel (14%), cardiac arrhythmias (8%),

dental (6%), and urinary bladder symptoms (4%).

Because magnesium is crucial in over 300 enzymes, it is not surprising that

there was a wide range of reported symptom improvement. In fact, well over 50

symptoms were reported improved. More importantly, from our standpoint, over

9% of the patients reported marked diminution in chemical and/or food

sensitivity after the test. Clearly, the MLT appears beneficial enough to

warrant

investigating in all patients who have symptoms that either resist current

treatments or that would require long-term medications for control.
