Magnesium calms irritated and over-excited nerves
When magnesium levels are low, nerves lose control over muscle activity, respiration and mental processes:
The neurological effects are:
• Reducing electrical excitation
• Blocking release of ACETYLCHOLINE
• Blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) GLUTAMATE receptors - an excitatory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system.
A few of the Neurological /Neuromuscular conditions improved by magnesium supplementation |
|
Sleep disorders/Insomnia |
Magnesium promotes good sleep; |
The 'shakes' in alcoholism |
Magnesium levels are usually low in alcoholics |
Parkinson's disease |
Prevents shaking, eases rigidity |
Preeclampsia |
Pregnant women may develop convulsions, nausea, dizziness and headaches. Treated with magnesium infusions in hospitals |
|
|
Suicide |
The lower magnesium content in soil and water in a given region, the higher are the rates of suicides |
Epileptic Seizures |
Marked by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood, spinal fluid and brain, causing hyperexcitability in regions of the brain. There are many reported causes of epilepsy greatly improving or disappearing with magnesium supplementation. In a trial with 30 epileptics 450 mg of magnesium supplied daily successfully controlled seizures. Another study found that the lower the magnesium blood levels the more severe was the epilepsy. In most cases magnesium works best in combination with vitamin B6 and zinc. In sufficient concentrations, magnesium inhibits convulsions by limiting or slowing the spread of the electric discharge from an isolated group of brain cells to the rest of the brain. Animal studies show that even the initial burst of firing nerve cells that starts an epileptic attack can be suppressed with magnesium |
Magnesium shown to reduce pain by blocking NMDA receptors within CNS. NMDA receptors are involved with pain sensitivity and excitory neurotransmitter activities |

SIDS |
|
CFS |
|
Psychiatric disorders / Age-related dementia |
|
Burstitis |
Chronic or acute inflammation of fluid-filled sac (bursa) that lies between a tendon and bone near joints, where tendons or muscles pass over bony projections to assist movement and reduce friction between moving parts. Bursaalso lies between a tendon and skin. Burstitis can be caused by chronic overuse, trauma, RA, gout, infection, commonly occurring in the shoulder, knee, elbow, and hip. Also can affect the Achilles tendon and the foot. Magnesium can free muscles that have become tight and knotted. |
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome |
|
Fibromyalgia |
Characterized by widespread pain in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Common symptoms include:
|
Osteoporosis |
|
Scoliosis |
|
Sciatica |
Pain that radiates from the lower back into the buttocks and down the back of one or both legs caused by the irritation of the sciatic nerves. Magnesium stops muscle spasms, which are primarily responsible for pain.
|
Degenerative Joint Disease / Osteoarthritis |
|
Chronic low-level inflammation (CLII) involved in almost all health problems
"The medical kit of the future"
General electrotherapy health benefits. Used systemically and/or locally at specific problem areas of the body, its effective application has many benefits:
Detoxification | Wellness / Healthy aging | Pain relief |
Relief from insomnia | Immune system restoral | Anti-Inflammatory |
Maximizes cellular energy production | Accelerated tissue /bone /scar healing |
Stress Reduction |
Muscle relaxation / rehabilitation | Increased blood oxygen / circulation |

There are several reasonably affordable electrotherapy devices available for personal use. The following electrotherapies are those that have received a significant amount of positive feedback:
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy |
Beck Protocol |
Rife therapy |
Ozone therapy |
Near Infrared (NIR) class 4 laser therapy |
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) applies specific frequency patterns to the head area, with the following benefits:
Balances neurotransmitters | Relieves pain | Treats depression |
Substance abuse withdrawal | Relieves insomnia | Relieve stress / anxiety |
Anti-Inflammatory | Fibromyalgia | +++ |
