Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 The Magnesium Miracle _http://www.jigsawhealth.com/products/magnesium-miracle.html?utm_source=jh-jun news08 & utm_medium=email_ (http://www.jigsawhealth.com/products/magnesium-miracle.html?utm_source=jh-junne\ ws08 & utm_medium=email) More than seventy-five years ago, medical scientists declared magnesium to be an essential nutrient, indispensable to life. When this mineral is part of your diet, you are guarding against and helping to alleviate health threats such as heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, depression, arthritis, and asthma. But while research continues to reaffirm magnesium's irreplaceable contribution to good health, many Americans remain dangerously deficient. In The Magnesium Miracle, _Dr. Carolyn Dean_ (http://www.jigsawhealth.com/carolyn-dean.aspx) , an authority on this mineral who has used it with dramatic success in her own practice, explains the vital role that magnesium plays in the control of many serious ailments from painful muscle spasms and bladder problems to traumatic brain injury and complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Whether you need help with a serious health problem or merely want to protect the good health you already enjoy, The Miracle of Magnesium will answer all your questions. It may even save your life. Magnesium (Mg) deficiency triggers or causes the following conditions and taking magnesium can either eliminate or help eliminate these conditions: 1. Anxiety and Panic attacks - Mg normally keeps adrenal stress hormones under control. 2. Asthma - Both histamine production and bronchial spasms increase with Mg deficiency. 3. Blood clots - Mg has an important role to play in preventing blood clots and keeping the blood thin - much like aspirin but without the side effects. 4. Bowel Disease - Mg deficiency slows down the bowel causing constipation, which could lead to toxicity and malabsorption of nutrients, as well as colitis. 5. Cystitis - Bladder spasms are worsened by Mg deficiency. 6. Depression - Serotonin, which elevates moods, is dependent on Mg. A Mg-deficient brain is also more susceptible to allergens, foreign substances that can cause symptoms similar to mental illness. 7. Detoxification - Mg is crucial for the removal of toxic substances and heavy metals such as aluminum and lead. 8. Diabetes - Mg enhances insulin secretion, facilitating sugar me tabolism. Without Mg insulin is not able to transfer glucose into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood causing various types of tissue damage. 9. Fatigue - Mg-deficient patients commonly experience fatigue because dozens of enzyme systems are under-functioning. An early symptom of Mg deficiency is frequently fatigue. 10. Heart disease - Mg deficiency is common in people with heart disease. Mg is administered in hospitals for acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmia. Like any other muscle, the heart muscle requires Mg. Mg is also used to treat angina, or chest pain. 11. Hypertension - With insufficient Mg, spasm of blood vessels and high cholesterol occur, both of which lead to blood pressure problems. 12. Hypoglycemia - Mg keeps insulin under control; without Mg episodes of low blood sugar can result. 13. Insomnia - Sleep-regulating melatonin production is disturbed without sufficient Mg. 14. Kidney Disease - Mg deficiency contributes to atherosclerotic kidney failure. Mg deficiency creates abnormal lipid levels and worsening blood sugar control in kidney transplant patients. 15. Liver Disease leading to liver failure - Mg deficiency commonly occurs during liver transplantation. 16. Migraine - Serotonin balance is Mg-dependent. Deficiency of serotonin can result in migraine headaches and depression. 17. Musculoskeletal conditions- Fibrositis, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, eye twitches, cramps and chronic neck and back pain may be caused by Mg deficiency and can be relieved with Mg supplements. 18. Nerve problems - Mg alleviates peripheral nerve disturbances throughout the whole body, such as migraines, muscle contractions, gastrointestinal spasms, and calf, foot and toe cramps. It is also used in treating central nervous symptoms of vertigo and confusion. 19. Obstetrics and Gynecology - Mg prevents Premenstrual Syndrome; prevents dysmenorrhea (cramping pain during menses); is important in the treatment of infertility; and alleviates premature contractions, preeclampsia, and eclampsia in pregnancy. Intravenous Mg is given in obstetrical wards for pregnancy-induced hypertension and to lessen the risk of cerebral palsy and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Mg should be a required supplement for pregnant mothers. 20. Osteoporosis - Use of calcium with Vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption without a balancing amount of Mg causes further Mg deficiency, which triggers a cascade of events leading to bone loss. 21. Raynaud’s Syndrome - Mg helps relax the spastic blood vessels that cause pain and numbness of the fingers. 22. Tooth decay - Mg deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorus and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth. The Magnesium Miracle Reviews “Every doctor and patient should read this comprehensive book on the many roles of magnesium. . . . I loved this book. Clearly written and packed with information, it offers a compendium on natural medicine and is an invaluable resource for both practitioner and public alike.

The massive evidence is here in this important book on magnesium. I am pleased to have been taking magnesium for so many years.†–Abram Hoffer, M.D. Author of _Putting It All Together: The New Orthomolecular Nutrition_ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0879836334?ie=UTF8 & tag=jigsawhealth-20 & linkCod\ e=as2 & camp=1789 & creative=9325 & creativeASIN=0879836334) Material excerpted from Dean, Carolyn.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hello - I am reading your post about magnesium and I am amazed at its helpfulness in so many cases...I have some of the ailments mentioned on the list, and although I do take supplemental magnesium (whatever is in my high-quality multi-vitamin) - I was wondering about what amount of magnesium to take daily, especially if you have any of the conditions below, although I realize that the dose could vary according to your state of health... I have often read that people usually take twice as much calcium than magnesium, but in actuality, they should be taking twice as much magnesium as calcium. Is this accurate? I probably will purchase this book, which sounds excellent, but in the meantime, could you also suggest which form of magnesium is best? (I would the chelated form...)
