Magnesium is a key element in maintaining healthy body functioning and one of the few natural substances that has been studied extensively in scientific studies. From professional and personal experience, I have learned how important magnesium can be for preventing and treating vascular disorders, and I have published on magnesium in the Annals of Pharmacotherapy (Feb. 2002).

Migraine and cluster headaches are vascular disorders that magnesium can help. Twenty-five million American adults and children suffer from migraines. I was one of them. My migraines were infrequent, but severe enough to learn that migraines are incapacitating, a quantum beyond tension headaches. Scientific evidence shows that magnesium can help prevent and treat migraine and cluster headaches for millions of people. My own migraines disappeared (except for an occasional painless, visual aura) since I began taking magnesium. Magnesium is far safer, cheaper, and often more effective than many expensive, side-effect prone drugs that doctors readily prescribe to migraine sufferers.

Diagnosing magnesium deficiencies is difficult, and taking effective amounts of magnesium often causes diarrhea. Fortunately, there are ways to identify the 75% of people in Western societies who are magnesium deficient and to use therapeutic amounts of magnesium without problems. I explain all of this and more in my new, expanded, inexpensive ($5.95), evidence-based, how-to book on magnesium for you and your doctor.
