In 1979, Dr. David Chipperfield reported a finding in the British medical journal The Lancet. He had discovered that patients suffering from angina pain had low blood levels of magnesium.
Equally important, he found that by prescribing this mineral, often referred to as “nature’s dilator,” the spasm of the coronary artery could be relieved, preventing a fatal heart attack and, ultimately, the need to call an undertaker.
Today, doctors are often asked, “Am I taking enough or too much calcium?” But in my days of practicing medicine, I can’t recall a single patient who asked me the same question about magnesium.
