Magnesium Deficiency and Alzheimer’s – Hopeful News

by GiGi

Magnesium deficiency has long been associated with Alzheimer’s Disease. As far back as 1990 (okay, maybe not THAT long ago), it was discovered that low levels of Magnesium, particularly in that part of the brain associated with short- and long-term memory, appears to be an important factor in Alzheimer’s disease. However, what is news now is the testing used to discover magnesium deficiency and also mis-diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, when in fact it could be something else.

Typically, testing for magnesium deficiency was done by measuring serum levels, but they have now discovered that testing for ion levels is far more accurate. Magnesium in the blood does not correlate with the amount of magnesium in other parts of your body. In fact, in studies done on people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s, their ion levels tested low for magnesium when their blood levels did not. The people with low ion levels had more impaired cognitive function.

Low magnesium levels are associated with high aluminum incorporation into brain neurons. For this reason, Alzheimer’s is often mis-diagnosed.

“Half the people diagnosed with it may, in fact, not have this condition but suffer from brain toxicity due to a lifelong accumulation of toxins, chemicals, poisons and nutrient deficiencies that prevents normal detoxification. While allopathic medicine tries to find the ‘one cause’ for Alzheimer’s and the ‘one drug’ that will cure it, alternative medicine practices detoxification and supplementation to effectively treat this condition.” – according to Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, magnesium expert and medical director of the Nutritional Magnesium Association.

What does this mean? If you know someone suffering from early symptoms of Alzheimer’s, make sure they get the proper magnesium testing done – if it’s just a magnesium deficiency, that can be treated with detoxification and supplementation.
