Magnesium

Dr. Raul Vergini says, “Magnesium chloride has a unique healing power on acute viral and bacterial diseases. It cured polio and diphtheria and that was the main subject of my magnesium book. A few grams of magnesium chloride every few hours will clear nearly all acute illnesses. I have seen a lot of flu cases healed in 24-48 hours with 3 grams of magnesium chloride taken every 6-8 hours.”

Dr. Vergini wrote, “I was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds, because Dr. Delbet had found out that the traditional antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and facilitated the infection instead of preventing it. He tested several mineral solutions and discovered that a magnesium chloride has a great effect over leukocytic activity (Increases leucocytes to fight infection) and phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.”

In 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, M.D wrote, “From a practical standpoint, please remember that only magnesium CHLORIDE—and no other magnesium salt—has this ‘cytophylactic’ activity. The solution to be used is a 2.5% magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2-6H2O) solution (i.e. 25 grams in 1 liter of water).”

Doses are as follows:

• Adults and children over 5 years old……………….                       125 cc

• 4-year-old children………………………………….                       100 cc

• 3-year-old children…………………………………..          80 cc

• 1-2-year-old children………………………………..           60 cc

• Children over 6 months old …………………………          30 cc

• Children under 6 months old ………………………..          15 cc

In acute diseases the dose is administered every 6 hours (every 3 hours for the first two doses if the case is serious); then space every 8 hours and then 12 hours as improvement goes on. After recovery it’s better going on with a dose every 12 hours for some days.

The antimicrobial activity of MgCl2

Dr. Norman Shealy says, “Magnesium is the key to intracellular health! It is essential to keep the cell wall at minus 60 millivolts so that nerve cells are not excessively excitable. Of course, there are other nutritional problems but few as rampant as magnesium deficiency. In addition to inadequate intake, magnesium absorption is unusual—absorbed in the distal colon! And all magnesium salts are laxatives. If the gut transit time is less than 12 hours, you do not absorb it. Magnesium absorption is also partially blocked by calcium, which is preferentially absorbed.”

Cell voltage is a key concept and is tied mathematically to cell pH. As pH gets more acid, cells lose voltage meaning they lose their health and strength.
