Magnesium's Key Benefits

After 150 years of increased health problems and increased costs, America is finally realizing that we are paying more for health care than any country in the world. We pay over 17 percent of our income for ineffective health care. Doctors are now getting depressed over the lack of results and patients called me today to tell me the dozens of tests they have taken without result or report. The United States has dropped from 25th to 29th in longevity and the World Health Organization now ranks us as 37th in health care - world wide.
My advice is to make out a form right now releasing your test results to you directly.

It is time we hold doctors and labs accountable for the high cost of health care and the lack of communications with patients. Long waits, multiple tests, endless talk and no results shouldn’t lead to millionaires with "golden parachute" retirement. Americans are being ripped off big time and it is our fault. We line their pockets with gold and put up with paying $5,000/year for insurance policies that only pay 20 percent of the bill and still allow the provider to sock it to us. Enough is enough. It is time to take stock of our failing health care system.
Doctors tell me that they don’t have the research and patients tell me that their doctors don’t know anything about the simplest effective ingredients. My doctor didn’t know anything about the benefits of magnesium, but the cardiologist did. Here’s some information you might find beneficial to you and those you love. Just don’t tell me that your doctor never heard about it. Tell him to buy a computer and begin finding the information that will help you maintain your body and prevent your taking dangerous, expensive, and ineffective pills. I take 500 MG of Magonate each day. After getting a second opinion on my heart condition, the cardiologist suggested trying magnesium. That was 1996, over a decade ago and I kept taking it because it worked. The ventricular tachycardia problem was exacerbated by the "beta-blocker" and helped by magnesium. After consulting numerous doctors who are recognized experts in their fields I learned that the "beta-blocker" caused my pulse rate to drop to 30 bpm and resulted in a life-threatening occurrence that landed me in the CMU.
My doctor must have asked me a dozen times for the explanation of how magnesium works. You get this information from someone who spends the money, the time and makes the research to find out WHY!

Some of the key benefits of magnesium intake, including these three: 1) Magnesium is good for the heart. Studies have shown that magnesium helps heart muscles relax, reduces blood pressure, and helps control homocysteine and C-reactive protein levels. 2) Magnesium is good for the brain. Conditions that have been associated with a magnesium deficiency include reduced cognitive function, depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorder. 3) Magnesium is good for bones. Research indicates that magnesium increases bone density in postmenopausal women. Magnesium is naturally present in green leafy vegetables, avocados, nuts and seeds, and whole grains, but usually only in small amounts so you'd need to eat a wide variety of these foods regularly to get all the magnesium you need. HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., recommends supplementation of 500 mg of magnesium per day. In the e-Alert "Mind Over Matter" (5/27/05), available on our web site at hsibaltimore.com, Dr. Spreen offers other useful advice for supplementing with magnesium.
