great information! by L. Doll (Atlanta, GA)  4 Stars
November 12, 2009
I bought this book to learn more about the role of magnesium in relation to my daughter's migranes. Instead, I have learned about the failing health of my entire family. My husband has type II diabetes, I have asthma, two daughters suffer with migraine, and another is ADHD. As I read this book, I began to identify with the causes for magnesium depletion and its subsequent symptoms, and have been wonderfully enlightened. It describes our family's circumstances and health issues in ways that connect all the dots, not just one or two. They all seem to be inflammation diseases, caused by an inadaquate magnesium intake and excess magnesium deleption due to stress, medications, and other factors. We do not smoke, drink, or consume caffine, and we do try to eat well, and yet, slowly over time, magnesium deficiency has gotten the better of all of us. I feel like this book finally answers the questions that I have and maps out the road back to better health.
It has only been a few weeks, so I cannot say for certain, so I can not give this 5 stars, yet. But already my asthma is improving by diet and putting my calcium and magnesium back in balance. As an asthmaic, one of my triggers is dairy. I avoid all dairy products as a general rule, and supplement with some calcium. But, as I have approached menopause, I have been concerned about possible bone loss, and decided to increase my calcium supplements to the full amount. About the same time, my asthma began to get worse, for no apparent reason other than I am aging. I was losing energy, experiencing brain fog (espeically in the morning when I first wake up), and despite being overly tired at night, awakening in the middle of the night with insomnia! I went to 4 doctors, most of whom support nutrition and supplements for better health, yet none of them suggested testing me for magnesium or the delicated magnsium/calcium balance that this book instructs about so well. Then I bought this book (to help my daughter!), and read one sentence: "Smooth muscles directed by too much calcium and insufficient magnesium can tighten the bronchial tract, causing asthma." After addtional study and reflection of my habits, I stoped taking the calcium supplements, and changed my diet for increased magnesium, and for the first time in months, my asthma is back under control. This is just one of several connections I have seen with my family and our health, in relation to magnesium deficiency. In time I hope to reintroduce calcium supplements, but in the proper balance with magnesium as this book suggests.
I also decided to buy and read "The Magnesium Factor": another excellent book about magnesium deficiency and it's effect on life-threatening diseases. It's focus is more on heart conditions, though, which are not an issue for our family at this time. But it is excellent as a second resource (I do not believe in taking the word of just one source-) This book has also lead me to buy the book "The Inflammation Syndrome": to learn more about these related health issues. I haven't recieved it yet, but I'm looking forward to, and seeing if it supports these theories.

pseudo scientific by Roberta Green (Cuernavaca, Mexico)  1 Stars
November 11, 2009
The author "completely changed her views on cancer after a chance meeting with a woman in a hotel lobby". This book offers only weak anecdotal evidence and interlaces it with medical studies which are outdated. Very few of the references are from reliable sources. We are advised to have our mecury fillings removed from our teeth, smear Yam cream on our skin and throw away aluminum pans. Yes, there is some valid information in this book, but you will get a headache sorting fact from foolishness. More can be learned from a careful web search. Explore magnesium, but my advice is find a better book.
