It is highly regrettable that the deficiency of

such an inexpensive, low-toxicity nutrient results in diseases that cause incalculable suffering and expense throughout the world.

Dr. Steven Johnson

Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones.

However, it may come as a surprise that in the form of magnesium chloride it is also an impressive infection fighter.

Endnotes

The book that you hold in your hands could save your life. It certainly contains information that can extend your physical existence and save you and your loved ones from a considerable amount of pain and even economic hardship. Magnesium is the lamp of life and one of the most important keys to overall health.

When applied in the correct way magnesium offers us a return to strength and vigor and is useful in a medical sense in more ways than we can possibly imagine.

This is the first in a series of books on a new form of medicine called natural allopathic medicine an approach that uses common emergency room medicines for chronic diseases. Natural allopathic medicine employs substances like sodium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride and iodine in their natural forms. All three are concentrated nutritional agents that are much safer, more economical and more effective than pharmaceuticals, all of which come with a long list of side effects that can be debilitating, deadly, and drive down precious magnesium stores even further.

Most doctors and patients think of magnesium chloride as a medicine that can be injected while you are having a heart attack, and it does save the day for both heart and stroke patients if used quickly enough. What you will be introduced to in this book is magnesium oil, a natural concentrated form of magnesium chloride that can be applied directly to the skin for intense effect.

All the above-mentioned emergency room workhorse medicines can be taken orally, applied transdermally, injected, nebulized directly into the lungs, diluted, and used as eye, nose and eardrops. They can also be used in douches and enemas and even put into baths for luxurious, comfortable and relaxing treatments. These powerful healing substances are indispensible to every healthcare practitioner as well as patients who are looking for safe evidence-based scientific medicines with long histories of effective use.

Though oral magnesium supplementation and intravenous administration have been the prevalent forms used in the 20 th century, this book introduces the transdermal approach, which opens the door for magnesium to be used as a universal medicine.

One cannot take a high enough dosage orally, and injections are costly and sometimes uncomfortable though absolutely the best method in emergency situations. My favorite way is to combine oral and transdermal administration approaches to bring magnesium cell levels back to their full levels as quickly as possible.

Magnesium (Mg), repleted back to normal metabolic levels, will help our patients and ourselves get to sleep if insomnia is an issue, increase our energy levels and performance in sports if we are an athlete, and help us avoid the major plagues of our time: diabetes, cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders (MS/

Alzheimers, etc.), and strokes. If we do not succumb to one of these diseases our lives are extended. Magnesium supplementation makes surgery safer and helps avoid birth complications.
