Lar,
I was just reading some info. on George Eby's site (he's the guy who is a huge proponent of using magnesium in treating many illnesses, incl. mental illnesses). Anyway, he recommends ditching all calcium supplements and even greatly restricting calcium from the diet. He claims (from his site):
"Milk & Calcium Toxicity
The third dietary cause of inadequate intracellular magnesium is competition by calcium. This is one very obvious cause, particularly to people who have gone off their ridiculous calcium supplements and dairy products diet and gotten much better in just a day or two. To those people that refuse to eliminate calcium supplementation (perhaps due to previous advice from a physician), I offer my condolences and hope that you have a good long-term care insurance policy".
His recommendation to supplement with magnesium and DITCH the calcium supps AND also greatly limit calcium dietary intake---what are your thoughts on that? As always, your comments are very much appreciated Lar!
