Although under publicized, it's magnesium that's responsible for a healthy brain and nervous system. It's even vital to a strong teeth and bones. Calcium alone won't keep your teeth and bones healthy.
Magnesium is wonderful for fighting infection, (hence it's miracle mineral status.) Once, a long time ago, a French doctor used magnesium to cure diphtheria, and ease the symptoms of bronchitis, whooping cough, asthma, pneumonia, emphysema, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, the common cold, influenza, measles, rubella, mumps, abscesses, and many more.
A more modern doctor, Dr. Vergini, not only confirmed all of the above he also updated the list with tetanus, chronic conjunctivitis, herpes zoster, optic neuritis and rheumatic disease. It can also ease the symptoms of CFS, cancer therapies, and fibromyalgia.
For the most part magnesium is found within the cells. There it activates various enzymes and it is also essential for the metabolism, the function of the muscles and nerves, and for forming bones and teeth.
If there is not enough magnesium available a magnesium deficiency occurs. Early signs of a magnesium deficiency include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, and fatigue. As the deficiency increases there can be numbness, tingling, cramps, and muscle contractions. There can also be personality changes, seizures, coronary spasms, and an abnormal heart rhythm. A severe magnesium deficiency causes there to be low calcium levels in the blood and low potassium levels in the blood.
When the magnesium levels were restored, 9 out of 10 people showed a significant improvement in health. The change is usually so drastic that it's referred to as a miracle. That's probably because it's the body's fourth most abundant mineral.
