    1. for people who have this sleep apnea you may want to start taking a little more magnesium because magnesium what does it do it relaxes it causes the vessel to relax cause the muscles to relax causes all the tissues 00:21:22 to relax and basically when you're getting that apnea things are closing okay so magnesium has been a huge huge change in the research right now so uh you know my favorite magnesiums you know 00:21:34 you have the citrate you have you have the the glycinates those are the best that absorb so i would it was me that's what i would get on uh and try the magnesium because you know sometimes when we just make a little bitty change 00:21:47 it can go a long way because you know unfortunately in the medical field they're not really tuned into nutrition

    1. In the group with daily supplementation of 400 mg of magnesium, HRV parameters clearly increased

      This is as I'd expect. I'd like to know if there's a dose relationship. I'll also need to see if this translates to clinical significant improvements in things like schizophrenia and CFS.

    1. Case histories are presented showing rapid recovery (less than 7 days) from major depression using 125-300 mg of magnesium (as glycinate and taurinate) with each meal and at bedtime. Magnesium was found usually effective for treatment of depression in general use.

      Sounds like 500-1200 mg per day (i.e. 125-300 mg four times daily). While 500 mg daily seems fairly normal, 1200 mg is rather high. That dose may require highly bioavailable forms to avoid side effects. I think that this is the study I've been searching for ever since I lost track of it. So far, this is the highest dose of elemental magnesium that I'm aware of being studied.

    1. Magnesium reduces the intensity of addiction to opiates and psychostimulants (cocaine, amphetamine, nicotine, and others). It also decreases the auto-administration of cocaine and the relapse into cocaine and amphetamine intake, as well as reducing the experimental addiction to morphine, cocaine and other substances in animals. In heroin addicts, alcohol consumers and other drug abusers, the plasma and intracellular magnesium concentration is lower compared to healthy subjects.

      Precisely what I'd expect. However, I was hoping to find a placebo controlled trial. I'm nearly certain that magnesium will show benefit. I'm less confident that such studies will use adequate doses of magnesium for the effects to reach statistical significance.

    1. This is possibly due to lower Mg2+ excretion rate in young animals

      This is fundamental. Mg excretion and aging.

    2. Our biophysical studies suggest that this upregulation might be due to a homeostatic regulatory mechanism (Figures 4A and 4B) (also see Turrigiano, 2008), which increases synaptic NMDAR to counterbalance the increase in blockage of NMDAR opening associated with chronic increase in [Mg2+]o.

      Fascinating. A « calming » ion, Mg2+, triggers the generation of more receptors that are calmed by it, in an effort to restore the normal excitatory state.

    1. Mg Citrate 0.26 ± 0.02 0.32 ± 0.03   0.33 ± 0.04*

      Interestingly, the superiority of magnesium citrate over other forms is most evident in salivary excretion, both acute and chronic. In particular, I had been led to believe that amino acid chelate was superior. Given that these results are consistent superior plasma levels, I take this to be reasonable evidence that the citrate form is superior for a given value of elemental magnesium. In this case, 300mg elemental Mg.

    1. Hostility also has been found to be the part of type A behavior that seems to have the most pernicious health effects, such as a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease. Forsaking a grudge may also free a person from hostility and all its unhealthy consequences. It probably isn’t just hostility and stress that link unforgiveness and poor health. According to a review of the literature on forgiveness and health that my colleague Michael Scherer and I published, unforgiveness might compromise the immune system at many levels. For instance, our review suggests that unforgiveness might throw off the production of important hormones and even disrupt the way our cells fight off infections, bacteria, and other physical insults, such as mild periodontal disease.

      Type A should take magnesium.
