Chocolate cravings What do medical researchers say about magnesium? Magnesium helps asthmatic children... An article published in Magnesium research (Dec. 2003), reported that long-lasting magnesium supplementation is clearly of benefit in mildly to moderately asthmatic children and is recommended in combination with drug therapy. A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective study conducted by researchers in the Pediatric Departent of a Hungarian University determined that bronchodilator use in children with stable bronchial asthma was significantly lower in the group of children receiving daily magnesium supplementation. (Research reference: Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America (December 2005) Magnesium improves many aspects of life for heart patients... Magnesium supplementation therapy positively affects exercise tolerance, exercise-induced chest pain, and the quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A team of researchers from the Heart Institute at Sheba Medical Center in Israel found that magnesium treatment as compared with placebo significantly incresed exercise duration time and lessened exercise-induced chest pain. In addition , patients reported definitive improvements in their quality-of-life. (Research reference: American Journal of Cardiology - March 2003) Magnesium combats anxiety and beats the blues... Numerous studies are suggesting that magnesium supplementation plays a critical role in combating the symptoms of depression. An article published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (October 2004) reported that magnesium acts as a neuroprotective agent that reduces post-traumatic depression and anxiety. Another research team from a medical university in Poland concluded that magnesium induces anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects without negatively affecting locomotor activities such as balance and reflex responses. An article in the journal Medical Hypotheses (March 2006) entitled "Rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment" suggests that magnesium deficiency could ultimately manifest as depression and that magnesium treatment is effective in treating major depression linked to excessive stress hormones, excessive dietary calcium and dietary deficiences of magnesium. The article strongly supports magnesium treatment for depression and other related symptoms including agitation, anxiety, irritability, confusion, asthenia (physical weakness), sleeplessness, headache, delirium, hallucinations and hyperexcitability. The authors also state that magnesium shows benefits in alleviating cocaine, alcohol and tobacco abuse, hypersensitivity to calcium, short term memory loss and postpartum depression.
