When this mineral is part of your diet, you are guarding against–and helping to alleviate–health threats such as heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, depression, arthritis, and asthma. But while research continues to reaffirm magnesium’s irreplaceable contribution to good health, many Americans remain dangerously deficient.

In The Miracle of Magnesium, Dr. Carolyn Dean, an authority on this mineral who has used it with dramatic success in her own practice, explains the vital role that magnesium plays in the control of many serious ailments–from painful muscle spasms and bladder problems to traumatic brain injury and complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Inside you will discover

• How diets and lifestyles can create a dangerous magnesium deficiency
• Which magnesium-rich foods keep your vital organs healthy and which to avoid
• Why other nutrients, including calcium, need magnesium to become potent

PART ONE The History of Magnesium

CHAPTER 1 The Case for Magnesium: The Personal History of an Element

Mary joked that she felt as though she was constantly being run over by a slow-moving bus. Cramping in her legs startled her awake at night, making her an insomniac, and she had heart palpitations daily. Her doctor also found that she had high blood sugar-not bad enough to need injections of insulin, but he prescribed pills to try to stimulate more insulin production. Finally, frightening panic attacks came out of nowhere and made this vibrant, fun-loving woman afraid to go outside.

To try to relieve her leg cramps, Mary began taking calcium at night, having read that it was good for cramps and sleep. At first, the calcium seemed to help, but after a week or two, the pains got worse. If she yawned and stretched in bed, her calf muscles would seize up and catapult her to the floor, where she would lie frantically massaging her muscles to try to release the spasm. All the next day, she would limp about with a very tender, bruised feeling in her calf.

Although Mary's heart palpitations had improved somewhat after she'd given up her three cups of coffee a day, they too resumed after a few weeks. Every time the palpitations occurred, which was several times a day, they made her cough slightly and catch her breath. She found it frightening, even though her doctor said her stress tests for heart disease were fine and she didn't need further testing with an angiogram.

Both Mary's parents had had adult-onset diabetes, and Mary knew that she should watch her diet, but she was overweight and craved sugary and high-carbohydrate foods that were hard to resist. When the panic attacks hit on top of everything else, Mary knew she had to seek help, and came to my office. She was only fifty-three, far too young to be feeling so bad, and was worried about her future health.

Sam was only forty-nine and experiencing chest pains. At first, he thought they were indigestion, but sometimes the pains would occur in the middle of the night. Concerned, he went to a cardiologist, who found two slightly blocked arteries, not serious enough for bypass surgery. Sam's cholesterol was somewhat elevated, as was his blood pressure, which he attributed to his high-stress occupation and the fact that he had not exercised regularly for the past six months, when he was sidelined with back pain. The cardiologist observed that his arterial blockage would almost inevitably worsen over time and eventually necessitate surgery. The doctor offered him medication for his high cholesterol, told him not to eat butter or eggs, and gave him nitroglycerine to take whenever he had the pain. If the symptoms got worse, he would prescribe other medications. Sam couldn't imagine having to wait to get worse before doing something about his chest pain; he knew there must be something more he could do to avoid surgery and came to me for advice.

At thirty-five, Jan had actually begun to look forward to going through menopause. That's how bad her PMS symptoms were. As soon as those horrible feelings lifted, she was hit by the sledgehammer of menstrual cramps. She also had migraines, which for years had come before her period but now were occurring once or twice a week. She was so miserable that she was considering a complete hysterectomy, with removal of her hormone-producing ovaries, but wondered whether the migraines, since they were happening all month, were not actually hormonal.

Different as their symptoms are, Mary, Sam, and Jan all suffer from magnesium deficiency. While women and men seem equally susceptible to magnesium deficiency, women may become deficient faster than men due to hormonal fluctuations because pound for pound, they have fewer circulating red blood cells, which carry magnesium, and so perhaps less magnesium available. There are a few other gender differences. Because of magnesium's effect on hormonal regulation and vice versa, women can have deficiencies in pregnancy, when breast-feeding, with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and with dysmenorrhea (painful periods). Osteoporosis, which affects more women than men, is evidence of a deficiency of both calcium and magnesium. An overactive thyroid, which afflicts more women than men, increases the metabolic rate, which uses up magnesium-requiring ATP (adenosine triphosphate-the energy packets made in each cell in the body. Without magnesium, ATP would not be produced). Let's follow Mary, Sam, and Jan and see how they overcame their magnesium deficiencies. When Mary visited me, I charted her health history in detail, according to procedures commonly used by naturopathic doctors, and found several symptoms of magnesium deficiency. In her case it had been made even worse by too much calcium, however, so simple magnesium supplementation wouldn't be enough for Mary. Her diet and lifestyle needed a complete overhaul. I gave Mary a list of magnesium-rich foods that she needed to start eating, which included nuts, beans, greens, and seeds such as sunflower and pumpkin. Mary realized that she'd been avoiding almost all of these foods: She thought nuts were fattening, beans gave her gas, and greens never seemed fresh enough at the supermarket. She had never even thought about eating seeds. After a week of enthusiastically eating a lot more magnesium-rich foods, Mary felt somewhat better. To make sure she could get fresh organic greens regularly, she tracked down a local community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and bought a share in a neighboring organic farm. Mary also learned how to soak and cook beans to prevent them from causing gas, and began eating nuts and seeds rich in magnesium and healthy oils, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. After her second visit I recommended that she begin taking magnesium supplements. Starting with a dosage of 200 mg a day, we added another 200 mg every two days to build slowly to 600 mg. I cautioned her that it could take months to eliminate magnesium deficiency symptoms and that not all her symptoms would necessarily respond. Within two months, however, Mary was singing the praises of magnesium. Her palpitations and panic attacks had disappeared. Her cravings for sweets were fewer, she was able to control her blood sugar with diet alone, and tests for blood sugar were normal. Her leg cramps were gone, and with them her insomnia. At three months we added calcium along with magnesium so that she would not develop an imbalance of the two. Mary's internist was quite surprised at her improved health and told her to keep up the good work with her diet and supplements. Sam had an inquiring mind, and I encouraged him to start reading about heart disease. He found that up to 30 percent of angina (chest pain) patients do not have badly blocked arteries but may be suffering from an electrical imbalance that is driven by mineral deficiency, most commonly magnesium.1 An astonishing 40 to 60 percent of sudden deaths from heart attack may occur in the complete absence of any prior artery blockage, clot formation or heart rhythm abnormalities, most likely from spasms in the arteries (magnesium is a natural antispasmodic).2,3,4,5 Moreover, he found that magnesium deficiency has been linked to sudden cardiac death. Sam didn't want to wait around for that to happen to him; he was determined to find out what was causing his problem and treat the cause. The more he read, the more intrigued he became. When he read that magnesium deficiency is also associated with muscle pain, especially back pain, that really got his attention, since he had begun having back pain four or five months before he began to develop chest pain.6

With a packet of information on magnesium, Sam went back to his cardiologist. Before the doctor saw him, however, a nurse took Sam's blood pressure; it was unusually elevated, even though at home it was usually only a few points above normal. (Doctor-induced hypertension is commonly reported by patients.) The cardiologist swept into the room and immediately began talking about blood pressure medication. Sam countered with magnesium. The cardiologist visibly cooled and said that magnesium was used to control hypertension that occurred in pregnant women because there were no side effects, but that there were plenty of effective drugs for everyone else. When Sam said he would rather not have side effects either, the cardiologist gathered up his file and told him to come back when he was ready to take medications for his heart disease.

When Sam came back to see me, he was still pretty upset by this encounter; he didn't like the specialist refusing to discuss a possible magnesium deficiency as part of the picture. Sam and I agreed that magnesium seemed the best treatment for him to initiate at this time since he was not willing to take medications.

Sam began adding magnesium to his diet by eating magnesium-rich foods. After a week he felt much calmer, but he still had chest and back pain. So he added magnesium and calcium supplements, and in about three months he felt almost normal.

Among the studies Sam read was one that looked at the correspondence between type A personalities and magnesium deficiency. From the description, Sam realized he was a type A, an aggressive guy who lived on adrenaline, time pressure, and stress. This type of behavior drains the body of magnesium and leads to disorders such as heart disease, muscle spasms, hypersensitivity, and irritability.7 Prolonged psychological stress raises adrenaline, the stress hormone, which depletes magnesium.8 Both Sam's back and chest pain would hit when he was under stress. So Sam worked on ways to control his stress and added more magnesium when he knew he couldn't avoid it. On days when he exercised, Sam added an extra 200 mg of magnesium to his diet, since sweat loss during heavy exercise (cycling and jogging) and working in the heat deplete magnesium. Just drinking water won't replace all the minerals lost. By paying attention to the many factors that affected his mind-body health, Sam lowered his cholesterol and stress levels and reduced ...

RECONFIRMING

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2009

About 13 years ago I was rushed to the hospital to have my stomach pumped. Actually I was given a great deal of charcoal to remove harmful toxins from my body. Shortly after I began having panic attacks. In the midst of one attack I was taken to the emergency room where an unknown intern administered a course of magnesium. However, magnesium was never discussed in any follow-up treatment given by my regular doctor.

About a half a year later I began to experience cramping in my legs at night. Eventually I was introduced to a company which offered a highly absorbable calcium mineral formula. Taking this product on a nightly basis eliminated the leg cramping completely.

The company aired a daily (Monday through Friday) one hour radio program in which it educated its customers regarding "The Truth about Nutrition". After five years of listening to the program regularly I learned a great deal about maintinaing my health and became encouraged to learn as much as possible about alternative
health solutions. Eventually magnesium came to the foreground in my thoughts. I knew I was already taking the proper ratio of magnesium to calicum, but began to realize in some cases certain individuals actually require slightly higher amounts of magnesium.

Eventually I began reassessing my own situation. Many years prior to the application of charcoal to remove toxins from my system I knew charcoal tablets could be taken for a limited time only
as they tended to deplete magnesium in the body. Ah ha, I thought, had the administering of excessive amounts of charcoal set me up to be so deficient in magnesium as to eventually bring on the panic attacks? Intimations of the panic attacks persisted from time to time (mind over matter and deep breathing got me through these occurences) so as to cause me to experiment with additional amounts of magnesium in my diet. Eventually I discovered that with increased amounts of magnesium the panic attacks (or rather intimations of) became less and less an occurence. As well my sleep improved along with increased speed in completing my daily weight lifting exercises, i.e. I had increased energy.

Years prior to all events described above I experienced a series of unexplainable nocturnal seizures. Over the course of time that followed I had on and off periods where going to sleep at night was a scary undertaking as my right arm would jerk and begin to cramp up, this the general aura I had before going into a seizure. Sleeping on my right side with my arm tucked in was the only way I could allay this feeling of impending danger. Since experimenting with magnesium I very seldom experience these occurences.

In the very early eighties I spent a couple years in the Mediterranean, and was particularly drawn to an Aegean Coastal Village, Datca, in Turkey because of its 1/8 mile mineral lake in which I would swim up to eight miles a day. I gave no thought to the fact that my skin was obviously absorbing whatever minerals this lake contained and that through my bloodstream these were being transported to all the cells in my body. I was aware, however, as is evidenced in several photos taken at this time, that I had a heightened radience; a well above average glow of health. This lasted for about a year after I returned to the United States. If I am not taking things too far, I might add that my singing voice improved remarkably for the experience.

I am quite aware that our soils no longer contain necessary vitamins and minerals and that vegetation grown in these soils is as well deficient in both vitamins and minerals. Therefore, in today's world supplementation is a must. As well I am quite aware that there are many attempts afoot designed to blindside consumers in our attempts to stay healthy, which is why I have developed a keen since of discerning good information from bad to assist me in being an advocate for my own health.

Doctor Dean's "The Miracle of Magnesium" appealed to me because I knew it would reaffirm my knowledge about this wonderful mineral as well as provide additional insights. In a very generous and easy-to-read manner the book did both these things. Recently my nephew revealed to me his concern about panic attacks. I wrote him a lengthy letter explaining the function of minerals in the human body, the proper ratio of magnesium to calcium, etc. I then ordered Doctor Dean's book and had it shipped directly to his home address. I will continue to encourage my nephew more and more to become an advocate for his own health and well being. It is through books such a Doctor Dean's that the average person has such options at all. I am very thankful for efforts in this area.

Magnesium is essential for good health.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2003

Verified Purchase

For far too many years the mineral magnesium has been largely overlooked as a nutrient which is essential for good health. Most doctors and laboratories don't even include magnesium status in routine blood tests. Thus, most doctors don't know when their patients are deficient in magnesium, even though the majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium. And magnesium deficiency is very important. In fact, magnesium deficiency is a significant factor -- often the major factor -- in many severe illnesses including heart attacks and other forms of heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, fatigue, diabetes, migraines and other headaches, osteoporosis, insomnia, and most cases of muscular problems. Because magnesium deficiency is largely overlooked, millions of Americans suffer needlessly from the foregoing ailments or are having their symptoms treated with expensive drugs (which often have unpleasant or dangerous side effects) when they could be cured with magnesium supplementation. This excellent and easily-readable new book by Dr. Dean discusses these and other important aspects of the essential mineral magnesium in detail. Everyone who is concerned about his or her health should acquire and read this very important book. So should their doctors.

A very good book, heavy with evidence that Mg is the most important nutrient, but light on how to find the right formula for the individual.

This is a field of health that is, so far, nearly 100% ignored by doctors and health leadership (guess why), to the peril of the public worldwide.

Magnesium, Really a Miracle?

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

This beautiful book, in simple papeback, is so full information that I am astounded by how much I've learned just thumbing through it. This is the type of book that you can pick up, turn to any page and simply say, "Wow, I didn't know that!"

I've known for a long time that magnesium is a very essential nutrient, but I didn't realize that it had so many jobs to perform. It helps to prevent certain cancers, relaxes arteries and veins to help the blood flow more smoothly through the body, relaxes the bronchial tubes in the lung for better breathing for asthmatics and a multitude of other "little" duties.

With as much stress as everyone encounters today, it's easy to see why most everyone needs to really be sure they are getting enough of this essential mineral.

This easy to read book lays out the case for magnesium and I reccomend it to anyone who is concerned about their health.

A number of years ago I had read this book for continuing education credits for nursing. It is relatively easily to read and understand. The author is not only a MD but also a Naturalpath. Her message is well-sited and makes perfect sense. She has basic recipes (so to speak) for many major illnesses. I had lent this book out to a colleague and never got it back. It is so important that I ordered another for myself and one for my Aunt. I have tried her suggestions or suggested these for other people and it has been positive.

Carolyn Dean the Magnesium Miracle is a really nice read and the website is amazing too. I have learned so much about this chemical over the years its quite amazing, I recommended this to my father he read three times before he died, he was a better reader than myself. He managed to get American Magnesium on prescription from the United States which is apparently better quality. I have blogged about this amazing book before and have even for a time advertised on various social media sites Carolyn's free health programs and called into the magnesium support group on Achieve radio. Having heard all the testimonies and the questions people have needed answering over a few years I am confident Carolyn is the leader in this medical field. I believe there is now a newer copy, listening to Carolyn talk about the subject is just like reading the book and the healthy recipes recommended via email have been quite amazing, I have not seen these before or noticed in any recipe book. Since buying the book magnesium in the UK has gone up in price and even some chemists stopped selling or closed down. I have tried magnesium chelated, citrate and the magnesium contained in liver salts a stomach relaxants. I even tried externally pouring in the bath to see what that was like and it was amazing. Around the same time in response to an email I sent to Carolyn the spray came recommended. The Magnesium Miracle opened up a whole world of knowledge and fantastic levels of freedom. My favourite radio show now is Achieve Radio, for good few years now and Carolyn has a show there now too, which is nice. This is a recommendation that I would like to share with the world, please read this book and see.

Very good information for how magnesium can affect the whole body. I find it clearly written in language I can understand and I refer to it often.
