If someone was constipated or needed to prepare for colonoscopy, we gave them milk of magnesia or a green bottle of liquid magnesium citrate, which emptied their bowels. If someone was dying of a life-threatening arrhythmia (or irregular heart beat), we used intravenous magnesium. It was a critical “medication” on the crash cart. I remember using magnesium when I worked in the emergency room. But we never stop to think about why or how important it is to our general health or why it helps our bodies function better. I find it very funny that more doctors aren’t clued in to the benefits of magnesium, because we use it all the time in conventional medicine. It is an antidote to stress, the most powerful relaxation mineral available, and it can help improve your sleep. Yet up to half of Americans are deficient in this nutrient and don’t know it.

In fact, in my practice, this nutrient is one of my secret weapons against illness.

A DEFICIENCY IN THIS CRITICAL nutrient makes you twice as likely to die as other people, according to a study published in The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine.(i) It also accounts for a long list of symptoms and diseases - which are easily helped and often cured by adding this nutrient.
