Is Magnesium a Miracle Nutrient?

Based upon the research with magnesium, I would suggest the following:

1. Eat substantial amounts of deep-green, leafy vegetables. They are excellent sources of magnesium.

2. Take 1,000 mg of magnesium as a supplement. Excessive amounts of magnesium will cause diarrhea, yet most people can tolerate 1,000 mg per day.

3. For patients with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, or a tendency toward any cardiac irregularity, discuss with your doctor the potential of using magnesium by injection, or administered in a slow, intravenous drip. This use of magnesium is for specific therapy, and not for magnesium replacement
