Rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment (2006)
I think getting the news out about this research could be very important as many people could seek more heavy handed treatment for tiredness, depression and anxiety, not knowing the cause was a simple mineral deficiency.<p>I used to feel tired all the time, with permanent pain in the neck and the retinas, even though I slept 7 hours a night. After I started taking magnesium, I felt 15 years younger. I could finally get a good night&#x27;s sleep and my energy recovered. There were also other effects: my sex drive increased, dandruff almost disappeared and my bowel movements have improved.<p>Another useful mineral for me was Calcium. I got rid of a nagging back pain that affected me for the last 10 years. Other treatments such as massage and exercise had no effect.<p>It feels like doctors had no idea to check for these two minerals in my case. Even though I visited various specialists and went to a sleep lab to test my brain waves, they had no useful recommendations. Could it be true that doctors have no idea about magnesium and calcium?
