Magnesium levels don't predict heart risk

Magnesium levels don't predict heart risk

By Rachael Myers Lowe

NEW YORK | Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:50pm EDT

(Reuters Health) - The hope that a simple blood test could help doctors identify patients likely to develop high blood pressure or heart disease is dashed by the findings of a new study published in the American Heart Association's American Heart Journal.

After analyzing data from more than 3,500 healthy people followed for as long as 20 years, a team of researchers concluded there is no association between blood magnesium levels and the probability of developing high blood pressure or heart disease in the future.

Researchers are always looking for good markers to identify people at risk of disease that might be forestalled with early intervention.

Magnesium is known to be important to the proper functioning of cells, and animal studies have found low blood levels of magnesium seem to raise blood pressure while higher magnesium intake wards off hardening of the arteries.

Because magnesium deficiency is common among women, the elderly and minorities and previous research in both animals and people has yielded mixed results, Dr. Thomas Wang at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues looked for patterns in data gathered through the Framingham Heart Study.

In a population of 3,531 study participants who were healthy at the beginning of the study, 22 percent (551 cases) developed high blood pressure after 8 years, and 16 percent (554 cases) had a cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke within 20 years.

After analyzing the participants' blood magnesium levels at the beginning of the study and health outcomes after 8 and 20 years, the researchers concluded that within the normal range of blood magnesium in healthy people, there was no link between lower magnesium levels and future high blood pressure, heart disease, or death from any cause.

Because the study population was generally healthy, with blood magnesium levels in a fairly normal range between 1.15 and 2.46 milligrams per deciliter, the investigators caution that they could not assess the effects of extreme magnesium deficiency or abnormally high levels.

The finding "doesn't rule out importance of magnesium and doesn't say magnesium supplementation wouldn't be helpful, but it probably argues against routine checking of magnesium levels at least for the purpose of trying to find something you can intervene on to improve cardiovascular risks," Wang told Reuters Health.

Blood magnesium is just one of 20 or more measurements in an extended laboratory blood test that can run more than $100. Eliminating one element might not save much money, but knowing that it may not be as useful as once thought could influence a doctor's decision about which blood test to order - an "extended" version or a smaller "basic" test.

"As physicians consider how best to utilize resources especially to improve prevention, it probably is useful to know what are more informative and less informative blood tests," Wang said.

Wang is quick to point out that these study results do not address the value of measuring magnesium levels in hospitalized patients with heart disease.

"There is experimental and clinical data to suggest that low magnesium levels make a patient more susceptible to irregular heart rhythms, thus there's a reason to check magnesium levels in hospitalized patients after a heart attack," he said.

But for the population as a whole, "there is not a clear signal that routinely checking magnesium for the purpose of preventing cardiovascular disease is warranted," he said.

Magnesium chloride is an important coagulant (E511 [8][clarification needed]) used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. In Japan it is sold as nigari (にがり, derived from the Japanese word for "bitter"), a white powder produced from seawater after the sodium chloride has been removed, and the water evaporated. In China it is called lushui (卤水). Nigari or lushui consists mostly of magnesium chloride, with some magnesium sulfate and other trace elements. It is also an ingredient in baby formula milk.

According to Dr. Luiz Moura

2010-09-21T06:32:00.000-07:00

Magnesium is vitally important and needs to be taken on a daily basis; everybody should take it, because food today is low in magnesium. The reason for that is very simple: plants need very much magnesium to breath. Their chlorophyllic mechanism is fixation of carbonic gas and elimination of oxygen, which is the opposite of what we do. We do this through a mineral, iron is used for the breathing mechanism of red cells. In plants this is done by chlorophyll whose structure is basically magnesium. What happens is that the chemical fertiliser used today is the NPK, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Magnesium in not being replaced in the soil, and in the past, when cities were all made up of houses with septic tanks, the magnesium we eliminated through feces went back to the phreatic zone. However, today everything goes into the rivers and sea, resulting in an increasingly low rate of magnesium in the soil. The two most important functions of magnesium are: it regulates the metabolism of calcium in the body, it fixates the calcium where it should be and eliminates the calcium where it should not be. Therefore, spinal calcifications, joint, artery calcifications happen due to this lack of magnesium. Kidney calcifications, calcium oxalate kidney stones is due to a lack of magnesium. It is enough to give patients magnesium to dissolve kidney stones, provided they are not urate and phosphate ones. if they are calcium oxalate stones then they are due to lack of magnesium. Magnesium is so important that Dr. Delbet, a medical doctor, used magnesium to wash wounds without knowing why in the 1914 to 1918 war. He published a book in 1940\Nand later he discovered that magnesium also activates the immune system and the proof of this is that, according to the cancer and magnesium maps of Italy and France in his book, the southern half of France where the soil has magnesium the death rate from cancer is less than 3.5% and in the north of France, where the soil is poor in magnesium, more than 8.5% of people died from cancer. In Italy it is much worse, it is very interesting how a decree by one of the Cesares in force until today has consequences until today and so many people die from cancer without knowing why. In Prof. Pierre Delbet's book entitled 'The Preventive Policy of Cancer', he shows the incidence of cancer from the north to the south of Italy. Because of a decree still in force, from an emperor, one of the Roman Cesares, it was forbidden to carry salt from one region to another in order to prevent salt becoming more expensive, and because of this and as the north of Italy is very in rock salt mines, earth salt that only contains sodium chloride and zero magnesium, the incidence of cancer ranges from 7% to 10%. In central Italy, where the capital Rome is located, people use sea salt and as they have more money, they use a salt with a tiny little bit of magnesium, 0.08%, the incidence of cancer drops to 4.5%. And in the south of Italy, which is a rural area, because of the poverty, people use the salt that is given to cattle, which is a salt very rich in magnesium, but turns into water, it becomes brine and every Italian family has wooden vats, where they put the salt and as it turns into water they use this water to season the food. This is their millenary tradition, and for this reason in the south of Italy the incidence of cancer doesn't reach 2%, just because of the magnesium contents. This is described in Prof. Pierre Delbet's book, this is why he considers it so important. Do you know where this chloride comes from? From the salt produced at the Barrilha industry, in Sao Pedro de Aldeia. From the salt produced in Cabo Frio they remove the magnesium to increase the commercial value of the salt. The salt that contains a lot of magnesium cannot be packed, because it would burst the package. It is highly hygroscopic, it becomes humid, so the magnesium is removed from the salt so it can be displayed on market shelves, nicely dry and also it does not block the salt-cellar. The drier the salt, the less magnesium it contains. When magnesium is removed, the salt becomes more expensive and has less magnesium and is drier. Pure Magnesium Chloride At the shop where I buy it, B. Herzog, at Miguel Couto street, it is sold as packed at the Sao Pedro da Aldeia factory. Now there are many factories that remove the magnesium from the salt to sell it separately.

Some other benefits are:

..."Many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease can be overcome with high magnesium supplementation....

...In a trial with 30 epileptics 450 mg of magnesium supplied daily successfully controlled seizures. Another study found that the lower the magnesium blood levels the more severe was the epilepsy. In most cases magnesium works best in combination with vitamin B6 and zinc...

....Many studies have shown an increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium levels in soil and drinking water. In Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10% of that in Europe and America. In the rural fellah it was practically non-existent. The main difference was an extremely high magnesium intake of 2.5 to 3 g in these cancer-free populations, ten times more than in most western countries.

Why Magnesium Chloride?

...."both magnesium as well as chloride have other important functions in keeping us young and healthy. Chloride, of course, is required to produce a large quantity of gastric acid each day and is also needed to stimulate starch-digesting enzymes. Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents the calcification of our organs and tissues that is characteristic of the old-age related degeneration of our body.

Using other magnesium salts is less advantageous because these have to be converted into chlorides in the body anyway. We may use magnesium as oxide or carbonate but then we need to produce additional hydrochloric acid to absorb them. Many aging individuals, especially with chronic diseases who desperately need more magnesium cannot produce sufficient hydrochloric acid and then cannot absorb the oxide or carbonate. Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. It is soluble but not well absorbed and acts mainly as a laxative. Chelated magnesium is well absorbed but much more expensive and lacks the beneficial contribution of the chloride ions. Orotates are good but very expensive for the amount of magnesium that they provide and both orotates and chelates seem to lack the infection-fighting potential of the magnesium chloride."....

MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES

Raul Vergini,MD

Back in 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet,MD, was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds, because he had found out that the traditional antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and facilitated the infection instead of preventing it.

He tested several mineral solutions and discovered that a Magnesium Chloride solution was not only harmless for tissues, but it had also a great effect over leucocytic activity and phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.

Dr.Delbet performed a lot of "in vitro" and "in vivo" experiments with this solution and he became aware that it was good not only for external applications, but it was also a powerful immuno-stimulant if taken by injections or even by mouth. He called this effect "cytophilaxis". In some "in vivo" experiments it was able to increase phagocytosis rate up to 300%.

Dr.Delbet serendipitously discovered that this oral solution had also a tonic effect on many people and so became aware that the Magnesium Chloride had an effect on the whole organism. In a brief time, he received communications of very good therapeutics effects of this "therapy" from people that were taking Magnesium Chloride for its tonic properties and who were suffering from various ailments. Prof.Delbet began to closely study the subject and verified that the Magnesium Chloride solution was a very good therapy for a long list of diseases.

He obtained very good results in: colitis, angiocholitis and cholecystitis in the digestive apparatus; Parkinson's Disease, senile tremors and muscular cramps in the nervous system; acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts, itch of various origins and chilblains in the skin.

There was a strengthening of hair and nails, a good effect on diseases typical of the aged (impotency, prostatic hypertrophy, cerebral and circulatory troubles), and on diseases of allergic origin (hay-fever, asthma, urticaria and anaphylactic reactions).

Then Prof.Delbet began to investigate the relationship between Magnesium and Cancer. After a lot of clinical and experimental studies, he found that Magnesium Chloride had a very good effect on prevention of cancer and that it was able to cure several precancerous conditions: leucoplasia, hyperkeratosis, chronic mastitis, etc.

Epidemiological studies confirmed Delbet's views and demonstrated that the regions with soil more rich in magnesium had less cancer incidence, and vice versa.

In experimental studies, the Magnesium Chloride solution was also able to slow down the course of cancer in laboratory animals. Prof. Delbet wrote two books, "Politique Preventive du Cancer" (1944) and "L'Agriculture et la SantÃ©" (1945), in which he stated his ideas about cancer prevention and better living. The first is a well documented report of all his studies on Magnesium Chloride.

In 1943 another French doctor, A.Neveu,MD, used the Magnesium Chloride solution in a case of diphteria to reduce the risks of anaphylactic reaction due to the anti-diphteric serum that he was ready to administer. To his great surprise, when the next day the laboratory results confirmed the diagnosis of diphteria, the little girl was completely cured, before he could use the serum.

He credited the immuno-stimulant activity to the solution for this result, and he tested it in some other diphteric patients. All the patients were cured in a very short time (24-48 hours), with no after-effects.

As Magnesium Chloride has no direct effect on bacteria (i.e.it is not an antibiotic ), Neveu thought that its action was aspecific, immuno-enhancing, so it could be useful, in the same manner, also against viral diseases. So he began to treat some cases of poliomyelitis, and had the same wonderful results.

He was very excited and tried to divulge the therapy, but he ran into a wall of hostility and obstructionism from "Official Medicine". Neither Neveu or Delbet (who was a member of the Academy of Medicine) was able to diffuse Neveu's extraordinary results.

The opposition was total: Professors of Medicine, Medical Peer-Reviews, the Academy itself, all were against the two doctors. "Official Medicine" saw in Magnesium Chloride Therapy a threat to its new and growing business: vaccinations.

Dr. Neveu wasn't discouraged by this and continued to test this therapy in a wide range of diseases. He obtained very good results in: pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hoarseness, common cold, influenza, asthma, bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary emphysema, "children diseases" (whooping-cough, measles, rubella, mumps, scarlet fever...), alimentary and professional poisonings, gastroenteritis, boils, abscesses, erysipelas, whitlow, septic pricks (wounds), puerperal fever and osteomyelitis.

But the indications for Magnesium Chloride therapy don't end here. In more recent years other physicians (and I among these) have verified many of Delbet's and Neveu's applications and have tried the therapy in other pathologies: asthmatic acute attack, shock, tetanus (for these the solution is administered by intravenous injection); herpes zoster, acute and chronic conjunctivitis, optic neuritis, rheumatic diseases, many allergic diseases, spring- asthenia and Cronic Fatigue Syndrome (even in cancer it can be an useful adjuvant.

The preceding lists of ailments are by no means exhaustive; maybe other illnesses can be treated with this therapy but, as this is a relatively "young" treatment, we are pioneers, and we need the help of all physicians of good will to definitely establish all the true possibilities of this wonderful therapy.

From a practical standpoint, please remember that only Magnesium CHLORIDE has this "cytophilactic" activity, and no other magnesium salt; probably it's a molecular, and not a merely ionic, matter.

The solution to be used is a 2.5% Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2-6H2O) solution (i.e.: 25 grams/1 liter of water). Dosages are as follows:

- Adults and children over 5 years old..................125 cc
- 4 year old children...........................................100 cc
- 3 year old children...........................................80 cc
- 1-2 year old children........................................60 cc
- over 6 months old children............................... 30 cc
- under 6 months old children..............................15 cc

These doses must be administered BY MOUTH. The only contraindication to Magnesium Chloride Therapy is a severe renal insufficiency*.

As the magnesium chloride has a mild laxative effect, diarrhea sometimes appears on the first days of therapy, expecially when high dosages (i.e. three doses a day) are taken; but this is not a reason to stop the therapy.

The taste of the solution is not very good (it has a bitter-saltish flavor) so a little fruit juice (grapefruit, orange, lemon) can be added to the solution, or it can be even used in the place of water to make the solution itself. Grapefruit juice masks the bitter taste very well (expecially if cold).

For CHRONIC diseases the standard treatment is one dose morning and evening for a long period (several months at least, but it can be continued for years.

In ACUTE diseases the dose is administered every 6 hours (every 3 hours the first two doses if the case is serious); then space every 8 hours and then 12 hours as improvement goes on. After recovery it's better going on with a dose every 12 hours for some days.

As a PREVENTIVE measure, and as a magnesium supplement, one dose a day can be taken indefinitely. Magnesium Chloride, even if it's an inorganic salt, is very well absorbed and it's a very good supplemental magnesium source.

For INTRAVENOUS injection, the formula is:

Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate......................25 grams
Distilled Water.................................................100 cc

Make injections of 10-20cc (very slowly, over 10-20 minutes) once or twice a day. Of course the solution must be sterilized.

This therapy gives very good results also in Veterinary Medicine, at the appropriate dosages depending upon the size and kind of animals.

Raul Vergini, MD Â– Italy Â– author of: "Curarsi con il Magnesio" Red Edizioni -Italy 1994 (book translated in french and spanish but not in english, sorry).

*Dr. Raul Vergini says, that "this is true only for severe renal insufficiency," where an obvious contraindication may exist; but this is also true for all minerals, that cannot be easily eliminated by a seriously impaired kidney. In all other cases, there are no risks. I never heard or read of any problem. The quantity of elemental magnesium contained in a 125 cc dose of the 2.5% solution is around 500 mg. That is not a large dose! Anyway, I think that it is a good precaution to advise people with problems to consult their physician."

Addendum:

According to Raul Vergini, M.D., the 25% solution for IV injections is correct. Personally I never use it, I use only the oral way. But it was used over thirty years ago by some French doctors (5 grams in 20 ml of saline solution of distilled water) to treat tetanus and other less dangerous diseases (asthmatic attacks, choc, opthalmic herpes, herpes zoster, Quincke's oedema, itching, etc.). It was injected very slowly (in 10-20 minutes), and the results were very good.

"Moreover also the Myers' cocktail contains 2-5 ml of a 20% solution of magnesium chloride (along with other products that may contribute to make the solution more diluted). However, I think that if there are problems of 'burning' with the 25% concentration, it should be possible to use, with the same results, a 2.5% solution (the same used by mouth) by dissolving 5 grams of magnesium chloride in 200 ml of distilled water. The solution must be sterilized.

"The intramuscular way is not used because the solution is painful."
