!!! MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF DISEASE

[Guest guest]

I just glanced through this and came across this paragraph: Considering all the hype around Vit D these days---isn't this saying that infants are losing magnesium because of TOO MUCH Vit D????? Any opinions?

Rarer forms of osteopenia, usually found in association with cardiac anomalies, arteriosclerosis, and renal calcinosis, are seen in infants of low birth weight, or who have ontogenesis imperfecta or hypophosphatasia. The more common, but not widely known, arteriosclerosis and IHD of early infancy is also usually accompanied by renal calcinosis, as is the later form that is accompanied by hyperlipidemia, hypertension and atherosclerosis. The latter type-some forms of which are associated with aortic and pulmonary stenoses and atresias, and with endocardial fibroelastosis-has been attributed to hypervitaminosis D (Seelig, 1969b; Seelig and Haddy, 1976/1980) which contributes to loss of magnesium. These conditions are stressed in this volume because they support the supposition that atherosclerosis (and some renal and skeletal diseases) have their roots early in infancy and have put the onus on the

absolute or conditioned magnesium deficiency that has become a problem during this century.

My understanding is that this is rare and only observed with

infants with certain conditions. Not because of having been overdosed.

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis_D

Special CasesVitamin D toxicity is unlikely except

when certain medical conditions are present, such as

 

primary hyperparathyroidism,

sarcoidosis,

tuberculosis, and

lymphoma. Vitamin D

deficiency is much more likely in most parts of the world.
