(Dr. Lawrence Resnick, MD, Cornell University)
"It is shocking, frankly, how little people know, how little doctors know, about this vital mineral (magnesium)."
(Dr. Jay S. Cohen, MD)
"Most modern heart disease is caused by magnesium deficiency. A vast and convincing body of research, largely ignored, has convinced us and many collegues of this fact."

(Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, author of The Magnesium Miracle)
"Magnesium is the most important mineral to man and all living things."
(Dr. Jerry Aikawa, The University of Colorado)
"Research has overwhelmingly demonstrated the critical relationship between low levels of magnesium and cardiovascular disease. So many hypertensive (high blood pressure) patients could benefit from increased intake of this mineral."
(Dr. Julian Whitaker, MD, one of America's best-known doctors of integrative medicine)
"If magnesium is deficient, bones are more fragile."
(Katherine Tucker, Ph.D., of Tufts University)
"Magnesium depletion may represent the most frequently unrecognized electrolyte abnormality in clinical practice today..There appears to be as much as an 85 to 95 percent shortfall in the clinical recognition of abnormal blood magnesium..The role of magnesium in cellular function, both in health and disease, remain largely unknown to medical clinicians."
(Dr. Robert Whang, MD)
"A link between magnesium, diabetes and hypertension seems established beyond a reasonable doubt."
(Dr. Lawrence Resnick, MD, Cornell University)
"Magnesium deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems in the industrialized world today. This deficiency is the result of agricultural practices, food preparation techniques, and dietary trends. The health implications are nothing short of catastrophic."

Magnesium deficiency is widespread
and kills thousands of people daily. Are you next?
The pronouncement above may sound overstated, but unfortunately it's not. Hundreds of studies worldwide have confirmed that even a small deficiency of magnesium in your diet can, over time, cause a myriad of illnesses to develop.
Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure and Diabetes have now all been linked to magnesium deficiency. But if magnesium is so important, why aren't we being told? Actually, some very prominant doctors are now beginning to spread the word.
Dr. Mildred S. Seelig MD MPH - Author of "The Magnesium Factor"
A World-Wide Dilemma
In 2006, the World Health Organization reached consensus that a majority of the world's population is magnesium deficient. Likewise, in 1995, the Gallop Organization conducted a survey and found that 72% of adult Americans consume less than the Recommended Daily Allowance for Magnesium.
The chart above shows how American daily intake of magnesium has dropped by 50% in the last 100 years. In 1900, the average daily intake of magnesium was about 450 milligrams a day. By 2000, the daily intake had dropped to about 225 milligrams. This large drop is alarming, considering that magnesium is necessary to maintain basic human health.
Between 1900 and 1930 heart disease had virtually no medical specialists in the US. There was little interest in cardiology because so few people had any heart problems. Deaths from heart disease rose from 30,000 in 1900 to 700,000 in 1970.
The chart above maps the last 100 years of American heart disease. As magnesium intake fell during this period, death from heart disease skyrocketed. Is this a coincidence? Many doctors don't think so.
The Impact of Magnesium on Health
Dr. Jay S. Cohen MD - Author of "The Magnesium
Solution for High Blood Pressure"
After calcium, magnesium is the most important mineral in our bodies.
Magnesium regulates more than 325 enzymes in the body, the most important of which produce, transport, store and utilize energy. Many aspects of cell metabolism are regulated by magnesium, such as DNA and RNA synthesis, cell growth, and cell reproduction.
Magnesium also orchestrates the electric current that sparks through the miles of nerves in our body. Without magnesium, muscle and nerve functions are compromised and energy diminished. We are operating with the power turned off.

Why Don't Our Doctors Tell Us About Magnesium?
If magnesium is so critical to our health, why don't our doctors tell us about it? The answer may be that most doctors are simply unaware that so many patients are magnesium deficient. Unfortunately, a reliable, readily available test for magnesium deficiency is lacking.
Most medical laboratories are only equipped to measure magnesium contents in the blood. This method, however, is not useful because even if a person is very deficient in magnesium, the body keeps the blood level normal by pulling magnesium from bone and tissue cells. A person can have a major magnesium deficiency and still have normal magnesium blood levels.
Additionally, many doctors did not get extensive training in medical school regarding the health impact of mineral deficiency. Large, mainstream studies on the role that magnesium deficiency plays in many of today's diseases are available, but are simply ignored or overlooked.
Dr. Carolyn Dean - Author of "The Magnesium Miracle"
Why Are We So Magnesium Deficient?
Researchers believe that we evolved on a diet that was high in magnesium-rich foods such as greens, nuts, seeds, and grains. Because of this, our bodies didn’t develop mechanisms to store magnesium since it was readily available in our food.
This would not be a problem if we still lived in a period when magnesium-rich food was plentiful. But times
have changed, and our world today presents a different picture:
AGRICULTURE - The last 100 years has seen a dramatic shift in farming practices. Most of the soil has been overworked and depleted of magnesium. Today’s fertilizers will often contain inadequate levels of magnesium. Additionally, to increase profits, farmers use techniques which accelerate plant growth, but reduce the amount of time for magnesium to fixate within the crops.
DIET – People don’t eat enough high-magnesium foods anymore: green leafy vegetables, beans, nuts, legumes, unrefined grains. When we do eat vegetables we often cook or boil them. Doing so tends to leach out a considerable amount of magnesium, as magnesium is water soluble. Also, we eat a much higher percentage of processed foods today, which not only contain less magnesium than natural foods, but often lead to stressful conditions within the body that require higher levels of daily magnesium for us to maintain health.
WATER – Fluoride in our water supply binds to magnesium particles and renders them unavailable for use in our body. Additionally, the filtration processing of our tap water and many bottled water brands removes important minerals, such as magnesium.
Magnesium Supplements Are Now Critical
As it becomes increasingly more difficult to consume proper levels of magnesium from the foods we eat, the use of high-quality supplements becomes necessary. Unfortunately, most supplements are poorly absorbed, so large dosages are needed.
But larger dosages often cause a laxative effect in the intestines, ushering magnesium out of the body in a small time frame, before the body can absorb it.
Additionally, our bodies evolved to absorb only a fraction of the magnesium we intake orally, with the rest being excreted. On average, we only absorb about half of the magnesium we ingest.
Daniel Reid - Author of "The Tao of Detox"
Dr. Jay Cohen, MD, states that "When you take magnesium tablets or capsules, your body absorbs only 30 percent of the magnesium they contain. With many top-selling products, absorption is much less, as little as 10 percent."
Dr. Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D and neurosurgeon considers the best orally taken magnesium supplement to be magnesium taurate. He believes that magnesium taurate takes six to twelve months to restore intracellular levels. But he has found that skin application of magnesium chloride oil having a concentration of 25 percent magnesium chloride (or higher) restores intracellular levels within four to six weeks. Referring to the use of magnesium chloride oil, Dr. Shealy says, "It is a lot simpler and easier, and you can do it on your own. There is no known risk to using magnesium unless you have kidney failure."
Mark Sircus, Ac, OMD and author of "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy" says, "Transdermal (skin) application of magnesium is actually superior to oral supplements in many ways and is the best practical way magnesium can be used as a medicine besides by direct injection. Transdermal magnesium delivers high levels of magnesium directly through the skin to the cellular level, bypassing common intestinal and kidney problems associated with oral use."
