magnesium deficiency Morphological and immune response alterations in the intestinal mucosa (IE GI tract) of the mouse after short periods on a low magnesium diet

[Posterboy]

To All,

I came across this research on Magnesium and Intestinal health recently and I thought it was worth sharing!

Let me know what you think!

Is a Magnesium deficiency a trigger for an impaired immune system in the GI tract in Mammals?

Quoting from the article abstract

"These changes were accompanied by modifications in the expression of several genes involved in cell growth and stress response. From this present work, it may be concluded that short periods of Mg deprivation can affect the intestinal mucosa and local immune response of the intestine."

Research is new ever day......so it is often hard to keep up.....surprisingly this research 20 years old this year and no one even mention's it.....because there is so much new research being published every day......it is literally almost impossible to read it and digest it all!!!

Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

I developed gluten ataxia. Magnesium cured it.

Very interesting article, and magnesium likely played a part in my finally getting over most of my gluten ataxia issues. Remarkably I can recall going to doctors when in my 30's where they did prick tests on my feet to measure the level of numbness to verify the issue, and after confirming it by saying "yes, it looks like you have ataxia, we'll have to keep an eye on that," they said nothing about how to treat it--no mention of vitamin/mineral deficiencies that could be causing it, or things I could do to help improve it.

One issue people need to know about magnesium is that it can cause IBS symptoms, and some people may need to try different types and amounts to be able to tolerate it.

I take slow magnesium.

Interesting...can you share the brand?

[Jays911]

MAG 64. Can’t tell brand. I get it by prescription. The over the counter didn’t work, nor did IV infusions. I take 8 doses a day.

It has changed my life. Although I did have a near fall for the first time in months last night. Thank God my wife was there to steady me. God is good.
