Book Reviews of The Magnesium Miracle
Book Review: Magnesium is essential and so is this book
Summary: 5 Stars
Magnesium is extremely important for good health. Yet for far too many years this vital mineral has been largely overlooked by most doctors. Shockingly, most laboratory blood tests do not even measure magnesium status although magnesium is involved as an essential factor in more aspects of health than any other mineral. Since magnesium status is rarely measured, most doctors don't know when their patients are deficient in magnesium, even though about 80% of Americans are deficient in this essential mineral. And magnesium deficiency is a significant factor -- often the primary factor -- in many severe illnesses including heart attacks and other forms of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, fatigue, migraines and other headaches, osteoporosis, insomnia, and most cases of muscular problems. Because magnesium deficiency is largely overlooked, 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. This excellent and easily-readable new book by Dr. Dean (an up-to-date revision and expansion of her ground-breaking book The Miracle of Magnesium) discusses these and other important aspects of this vital mineral in detail. Everyone who is concerned about his or her health should acquire and read this very important book, even if you already own its earlier version. So should their doctors. And the vast majority of Americans should increase their magnesium intake by suitable diet and appropriate supplementation as Dr. Dean recommends. Those who do will very likely find themselves free of many ailments they may now have.Book Review: The Magnesium Miracle
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an easy to read nutrition book about an important nutrient in the body, which often gets overlooked. The book is written by a woman who is a naturopathic doctor and medical doctor (seems very "well-rounded" for a doctor). This book provides an expert guide into the importance of magnesium in the body...how it works, how magnesium is necessary for calcium absorption, how magnesium can smooth muscles, such as in the chest/lungs for those with asthma (like my son). My son is prone to asthma each time he catches a viral infection. We hate giving him the typical albuterol, which speeds up a person's heart rate and causes hyperactivity (hmmm...I wonder how many kids using albuterol are also diagnosed with ADHD?)and worth mentioning, I've heard that there are no studies to show how albuterol affects lung development. We also were told to give our son pulmicort, a steriod, which also has side effects, such as, causing cataracts (et. al.). I started giving my son liquid magnesium to help with the tighteness in his chest that he gets from asthma. Magnesium does help and my child's doctor agrees.
I would recommend this book to everyone because it covers many different illnesses and discusses how several illnesses/problems can be improved with magnesium. I believe that good nutrition (and naturopathic approaches) can help keep a person healthy, and help those with genetic disorders, much more than pharmaceuticals (many of which are man-made chemicals), which typically have side-effects that lead you to buy more drugs to help with each side effect's side effect, etc., etc... Check this book out for yourself. Even people who don't like to read about nutrition will find this book easy to read and easy to understand.
Book Review: An Amazing Account of how Magnesium Deficiency Effects us all
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall this book is key, it gives tangible evidence that our foods have become ever more magnesium deficient over the decades. Modern agriculture literally drains it out of the soil, leaving our foods ever more deficient year after year. We're shown how lack of this significiant mineral, especially in combination with all the 'take more calcium' hype, is causing circulatory problems, nervous system failure, and muscle issues.
After a thorough reading you'll have a much better understanding of the role played by magnesium in your body, heart and mind. Without this essential nutrient our cells cannot divide, our muscles can't flex, our blood cannot flow, our nervous system cannot communicate - it is required for all the basic biological aspects of the human machine, and yet we're getting less and less of it from our diet each year.
We're also given a comprehensive discussion of supplements, which ones work better, and why. Which helps you choose how you get your correct amount of magnesium. It's doubly important for growing youths or athletes and the explanations are constantly forth-coming.
All in all a very good resource for anyone looking to take responsibility for their health, recommended in tandem with Sherry Roger's Detoxify or Die. Be Well, Feel Better and LIVE LIFE without pain, medications, or disease.
Book Review: Do YOU Need More Magnesium?
Summary: 5 Stars
Magnesium is often overlooked when we talk about nutrient deficiencies. Many common symptoms can be explained by not having enough magnesium in your diet. Dr. Dean discusses a wide variety of complaints that just might be remedied with the proper daily dose of magnesium. I have personally suffered from insomnia in the past. The two things that I changed to naturally solve the problem were, increasing my magnesium intake and meditating more regularly. These two changes worked for me. I was very happy to find a natural solution instead of taking pills from a doctor.
It's quite difficult to get all the magnesium that we need from our diet. Dr. Dean discusses the magnesium content in many foods and also different forms and effectiveness of magnesium supplements.
If you are looking for ways to improve your nutrition or have a nagging or chronic health issue, check out this book. Magnesium just might be your Miracle!
Book Review: I wish every form of health practitioner read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another book I bought after reading a the previous version from our local library. It is amazing and has really helped us out so much. I use the magnesium products from Joan Schrader at Health and Wisdom and it is rebuilding my health so much in needed ways. It also enabled us to conceive again! Magnesium is directly related to infertility and a host of other health problems that are consistently prescribed for or treated in other ways including by homeopaths and naturopaths because not enough is known about this most vital mineral, magnesium.
It is so very readable and many, many 'ah-hah!' moments will follow as it is read. It is important, as with anything, to not read with any resentments or negativity, but to read in order to discover and learn.
