Sphere: Related ContentMagnesium cure for Alcoholism
Chronic alcoholics often show a low plasma magnesium concentration and a high urinary output. They therefore require extra magnesium intake, especially in an acute attack of delirium tremens.
Magnesium cure for Kidney Stones
- By increasing the solubility of calcium in the urine, magnesium prevents recurrence of kidney stones. Magnesium, together with vitamin B6 or pyridoxine, has also been found effective in the prevention and treatment of kidney stones.
- When needed, magnesium can be taken in a therapeutic dose of up to 700 mg a day.
- Magnesium chloride is the best form of supplementary magnesium, although other forms can also be used.
- Magnesium salts taken by mouth are both diuretic and laxative.
- The cathartic (stool loosening) action is due to the slow absorption of magnesium from the intestine and the consequent drawing of water into the brute.
Magnesium cures for Heart Attacks
- Low levels of magnesium have been found in persons who suddenly die of heart attacks.
- The magnesium deficiency may lead to a spasm in the coronary arteries, which in turn, reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart.
- Magnesium therapy offers some protection against heart disease.
