These are just several of the nuggets I gleaned from The Magnesum Factor. Well written, in language the average reader can understand (that would be me!), and very well-researched with great tables, graphs, quizzes and footnotes, this is one of the best health/medical books I've ever read. Certainly worth your while to delve into.
As mentioned, the book was personally beneficial for me. I found out diuretics can deplete magnesium (and potassium, which I had been supplementing)... I was taking prescribed diuretics for my high BP. A magnesium shortage might be causing the restlessness and rapid heart beat that kept me from sleep. This proved the case. Since I started supplementing with magnesium, as recommended, my acute insomnia is clearing up. I'm very grateful to have normal sleep restored.
Scientists who do basic research in the not-so-sexy fields of vitamins and minerals are our unsung heroes. They aren't motivated by the glamor, that's for sure, or for the big bucks. And because so much is already known about vitamins and minerals, there's little chance for a "break-out" discovery that will shoot their name to stardom. Instead, they keep patiently refining what we already know, applying it to more and more biological processes. I can only imagine that their motivation is helping us all to stay healthy and avoid the suffering that comes with diseases. And, perhaps it the elegant simplicity that draws them. Imagine....preventing or curing so many diseases that are endemic in our society with a simple element that will not harm us. What pharmaceutical can claim that? (I'm grateful for the "miracles" of pharmaceuticals, too, but it's hard to argue that most don't come with side effects.) Mildred Seelig was such a scientist. And we owe her so much.
This book should required reading in high school health classes. It could prevent so many problems later in life.

80% of people over 50 are deficient in Mg and don't know it. Getting your proper amount
will cure and correct many, many maladies. Personally, I was severely deficient in Mg and the
doctor only gave me drugs, because of my high BP. The drugs gave me about SIX different strange
and very annoying side effects, e.g. bad nightmares, anxiety, sleeplessness, but reading this book and
another one by Dr. Dean, told me to up my Mg. I did. High BP gone after 2 months. The drug doctor said
my Mg was fine and normal, but he didn't know his serum Mg test was worthless. Do yourself a favor and
read this book, along with the one by Dr. Dean.

celui-ci a une approche beaucoup plus scientifique, trop! mais explique bien certains fonctionnement du corps et surtout les rapports importance de l’équilibre avec les minéraux Na, Ca, K, y donne les sources aussi des compléments qui sont le mieux metabolisable, voir aussi Dr Mercola sur le net pour cela. J'ai compris le phénomène de prolapse de la valve mitral au coeur! ce que l'on appelle un souffle au coeur, l'effet thermogénique de la cigarette, bref beaucoup est conditionne par un manque de Magnesium. En effet appauvrissement des fruits et des légumes, regarder pour cela Claude Bourguignon et Thierry Casasnovas, Dr Morse et Bernard Jensen, Belnez et l'alimentation et la permaculture. Trop focaliser sur les maladies classique. Lire Fat that heals, fat that kills pour les graisses et Omega 3. Nos intestins sont conditionnes par ce qu'on mange et cela conditionne notre santé, vitalité et comportement! nous sommes bactériens plus qu'humain! pour les vrais chercheurs aller telecharger sur la BNF Antoine Bechamp, un vrai mec intelligent, pas comme Pasteur qui rime avec imposteur!
Very interesting, too medical and focused on diseases but i understood the concept of mitral prolapse, the smoking habit, all the mechanisms of the ions Na, K, Ca, Mg, the equilibrium they need to have, the affect on the body! really good! in french you must read la solution magnesium. it gives too the best supplements. Also important to understand the lack of minerals in the food now, even in organic veg and fruits, see Claude Bourguignon conferences or in english Dr Morse, Norman Walker. Our life is conditionned by Bacteria too hence our guts flora so look up Hygieniste like Dr Morse, Bernard Jensen, Herbert Shelton, Normal Walker.
Magnesium is the key to Autism and ADHD with cleansing the colon and going organic Raw food and juices!
