Product Description

'Without magnesium we are operating with the power turned off' - Dr Carolyn Dean Ignorance about the benefits of magnesium is crippling our health and vitality because: Magnesium alleviates and helps to prevent muscle pain and spasms, insomnia, osteoporosis, heart disease, strokes, depression, arthritis, asthma and diabetes. It is essential for energy production, athletic performance and neurological health. Lack of magnesium has also been linked to PMS, gall bladder and gastrointestinal problems, chronic fatigue syndrome and complications in pregnancy and childbirth. Not only are we deficient in magnesium we are becoming more so. The typical Western diet - rich in fat, sugar and salt - actually increases the need for magnesium. Modern farming methods deplete the magnesium that we should be getting from crops. Therefore, even a normal healthy diet may not be supplying us with adequate levels of magnesium. In THE MIRACLE OF MAGNESIUM Dr Carolyn Dean addresses the alarming lack of magnesium in our diets. She tells us which foods and lifestyles help with our magnesium intake, which other elements need to be taken with magnesium to make it potent and which magnesium supplements are best for our needs. Packed with such potentially life-enhancing information, THE MIRACLE OF MAGNESIUM may well be the answer to all our health issues.

Have no fear Magnesium is here!
Magnesium, is an essential nutrient, which is fully covered in book with references, and is easy to understand and well written. Every aspect of how magnesium can treat/prevent ill-health and most western disease is covered. e.g. Depression, anxiety,heart disease, spasms, hypertension and hypoglycemia, food cravings, e.g. uncontrollable urges for sugar, are claimmed to be prevented with magnesium foods/supplements. Although Dr. Carolyn Dean reccomends magnesium supplements, she always mentions them along side whole foods that contain magnesium so you will not turn into the ultimate pill popper(e.g. can not beat real food, especially organic food which is a bit better!). Our cells cannot function without magnesium and mentions depressives are not prozac deficient but magnesium deficient, hyperactive children are not retalin deficient but magnesium deficient. We as a society including doctors should take diet seriously, the problem reallt starts by the fact that we eat so much refined foods and sugar, and so many of our foods have had magnesium striped from them, as part of their refining/processing, freezing or tinning/ packaging processes, e.g. refining wheat and sugar. Foods such as refined sugar, white flour, alcohol, coffee use, take our bodies magnesium and leach it out big time, never mind provide it!!! So it is not just a matter of putting magnesium in but preventing it from being poured out by coffee and alcohol and junk foods. Dr. Carolyn Dean is a medical doctor, homeopath, herbalist, and nutritionalist, and has researched as much as possible about magnesium to give us the facts/references to back up what she claim. Her book has the potential to save many lifes and encourage people to lead healthier lifes which they can enjoy. I am sure this is why this book has been writen for us, I highly reccomend you read it and become healthier. Another example, she states the brain and heart contain the most magnesium if we become deficient in it these become severely effected. Most spasms, palpitations are caused also by magnesium deficiency, and explaines why and how etc. The book tells you which foods contain magnesium, and so so much more. A great, uplifting book to read that brings a promise of better health to those who follow out the Dr's/ and naruropathic profesional advice. Dr.Carolyn Dean is like a 4 in 1 professional, she knows her stuff!!!

Excellent
I bought this book because I love reading health books. I was not disappointed. It really is an excellent well researched book. Easy to read and full of information which quite amazed me. I could identify a lot of problems not only of my own but of my friends and family. Who would have thought that such a cheap supplement could achieve so much. I suppose my interest was kindled by the fact that my daughter here in France was prescibed Magnesium by her french doctor for the last weeks of her pregnancy. Because I did not know why I set out to find the answers. Now I have them. I have implimented the recommendations in the book and await to see what results there are in 90 days!! Well worth a read if you suffer from any long term ailments (arthritis, asthma, fybromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease to name but a few) which are proving difficult to control or cure.
