Magnesium Chloride for Health and Rejuvenation

"...Magnesium for Nerves
Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system, so it is frequently used to promote good sleep. It can also be used to calm irritated and overexcited nerves. This is especially useful with epileptic seizures, convulsions in pregnant women and the "shakes" in alcoholics. Magnesium levels are generally low in alcoholics, contributing to or causing many of their health problems. If magnesium levels are low, the nerves lose control over muscle activity, respiration and mental processes.
Nervous fatigue, tics and twitches, tremors, irritability, hypersensitivity, muscle spasms, restlessness, anxiety, confusion, disorientation and irregular heartbeat all respond to increased magnesium intake. A common phenomenon of magnesium deficiency is a sharp muscle reaction to an unexpected, loud noise. "Memory pills" have been marketed that consist mainly of magnesium.15 Sleep in magnesium deficiency is restless and agitate and is disturbed by frequent night-time awakenings. However, all forms of magnesium are not equally effective. In a study of more than 200 patients, Dr W. Davis used magnesium chloride as a possible means of combatting insomnia. The researcher reported that sleep was induced rapidly and was uninterrupted, and that waking tiredness disappeared in 99 per cent of the patients. In addition, anxiety and tension diminished during the day.1 Many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease can be overcome with high magnesium supplementation; shaking can be prevented and rigidity eased. With pre-eclampsia, pregnant women may develop convulsions, nausea, dizziness and headaches; in hospitals, this is treated with magnesium infusions. Because of its strongly relaxing effect, magnesium helps not only in promoting better sleep but is also useful in overcoming headaches and migraines. Even the number of suicides is linked with magnesium deficiency: the lower the magnesium content in soil and water in a given region, the higher the suicide rate.17 Epilepsy is marked by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood, spinal fluid and brain, Causing hyperexcitability in regions of the brain. There are many reported cases of epilepsy greatly improving or disappearing with magnesium supplementation. In a trial with 30 epileptics, 450 mg of magnesium supplied daily successfully controlled their seizures. Another study found that the lower the magnesium blood level, the more severe was the epilepsy. Magnesium works best combined with vitamin B6 and zinc. In sufficient concentrations, magnesium inhibits convulsions by limiting or slowing the spread of the electric discharge from an isolated group of brain cells to the rest of the brain. Even the initial burst of firing nerve cells that starts an epileptic attack can be suppressed with magnesium....”
