 Preface to the book, Magnesium Deficiency in the Pathogenesis of Disease by Dr. Mildred S. Seelig
Among the conditions that increase the risk of magnesium deficiency are (1) metabolic factors that affect the absorption, distribution, and excretion of this mineral; (2) disease and therapy; (3) physiologic states that increase requirements for nutrients; and (4) nutritional imbalances.
Until magnesium clinical methodology is improved and made available, the importance of correcting magnesium deficiency in man's diet and of preventing intensification of a deficit when needs are increased by physiologic or pathologic processes and drugs will have to be inferential-based on experimental and epidemiologic observations.
Because magnesium has pharmacologic activities that have been recognized for many years, demonstration of the correction of abnormal acute neurologic and cardiac signs (even though such signs are characteristic of acute magnesium deficiency) are not readily accepted as evidence that magnesium deficiency can contribute to diseases in which such magnesium-responsive signs are seen.
