Thank you Brooks for this posting. Can you tell me if it is possible to *over* dose on magnesium. I am trying to get my husband to rub mag oil in and also to take things like spirulina, because he had a slight 'leakage' into the brain at one point. I also take mag citrate (400mgs) and rub in mag oil to help stiffness. Would this be too much in your opinion? Many thanks. Dee

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
