The recent commentary on Magnesium by list members prompts me to a comment
on determining the "actual" levels of magnesium in the human body. To wit: since magnesium (to quote Dr. Russell Blaylock) "is mostly an intracellular ion----meaning that normal blood levels will tell nothing of tissue levels". This circumstance calls attention to the fact that even NORMAL titers of magnesium in the bloodstream in no way guarantee satisfactory levels in the tissue beds of the body. In point of fact, one could be expressing SEVERE systemic tissue level magnesium deficiency while a current blood level test might indicate normal concentrations. This circumstance can greatly complicate the issue.....because most doctors, presently, utilize "blood levels to assess magnesium deficiency."
One thing you can count on is.....if the blood levels ARE low, the tissue levels will be distinctly, possibly dangerously, lower.
I have a suggestion for any (especially men) who have had by-pass surgery, strokes
or myocardial infarcts....to have tissue tests made to determine the ACTUAL magnesium levels.
Do remember that it takes some consequential time to raise depleted tissue levels of magnesium in the body....when actual tissue concentrations are low.
