Lower your blood pressure and mitigate many other ailments with magnesium

By D. R. Schryer - July 17, 2005

Dr. Cohen's book does the public a great service in discussing the importance of magnesium for maintaining a healthy level of blood pressure. However, as Dr. Carolyn Dean discusses in her very important book The Miracle of Magnesium, magnesium deficiency is a significant factor -- often the major factor -- in many other severe illnesses including heart attacks and other forms of heart disease, asthma, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, fatigue, diabetes, migraines and other headaches, osteoporosis, insomnia, and most cases of muscular problems. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium to some degree and many are severely deficient. Because magnesium deficiency is largely overlooked by orthodox medical doctors, 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.

magnesium -- the forgotten piece of the jigsaw

By Geoff Bond "Savvyeater" - January 19, 2005

This useful little book is in the same series as one I reviewed earlier (The Magnesium Solution for Migraine Sufferers).
High blood pressure accounts for more trips to the doctor than any other condition. Almost always, patients are put on prescription drugs.

Moreover, doctors do not like to admit that, using drugs to lower blood pressure, does not reduce your risk of cardio-vascular disease to the same extent of someone who has the lower level naturally. In other words, drugs are dealing with the symptoms not the cause.

Vital Data for Health

By R. Brett - May 30, 2007

A little "pocket book" the kind you would see at a grocery checkout.

But the data presented about this vital mineral magnesium most persons would have to locate and research the various books and articles the author has included in his bibliography to find.

The general public AND most doctors are unaware of the number of problems magnesium deficiency is currently causing us.

I wish everybody could read what this very qualified author says in this little book. I took his advice and it changed my life too.

Get it. Its very affordable and your health issues may take a turn for the better.
