Magnesium is a class of mineral very unique unto itself. There are many experts in the field of health, but we will rely on one who understands magnesium. From his book, Holy Water, Sacred Oil, the Fountain of Youth, Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D., states the following: "Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency," and further states, "magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient."
"Some 350 different enzymes within the body rely on magnesium," says Burton M. Altura, of the State University of New York Health Science Center in
Brooklyn ,
New York . Altura, further states concerning stroke victims, "those who stroked out had the lowest levels of ionized magnesium when they stroked out. Yet, in some cases, the patient's total magnesium concentrations were in the normal ranges." Magnesium is found in lower levels in the blood.
The normal range for magnesium is 1.7 to 2.4 mEq/liter compared to sodium, which is 140 mEq/liter. Thus, the problem of measuring accurate amounts of magnesium in the body is difficult because intracellular magnesium is what needs to be measured. Much of the oral magnesium on the market needs to be converted to ionic form before effective results are manifested. Nano particle ionic form of magnesium goes intracellular, which can eliminate many worries about magnesium levels being low due to poor absorption.
It is not completely clear what long-term damage is being done to the body by having low levels of magnesium.
