According to the Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure―the recognized experts on treating hypertension―”the goal of prevention and management of hypertension is to reduce morbidity and mortality by the least intrusive means possible.” Over 50 million Americans and 800 million people worldwide (20 percent of the adult population) have high blood pressure (hypertension). Nearly 90 percent of us will develop hypertension in our lifetimes. Hypertension is a devastating disease that damages blood vessels, causing heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. For this reason, many experts consider high blood pressure more dangerous than high cholesterol. Moreover, many of the severe complications of diabetes stem from the high blood pressure that frequently accompanies it. In short, hypertension is one of the most destructive―and most inevitably destructive―diseases of human beings. The experts on the Joint National Committee quoted above emphasize the importance of using “the least intrusive means possible” for treating hypertension, but in fact mainstream medicine relies almost entirely on powerful prescription drugs even when other safer, proven natural methods are all that are needed.

This book is about a simple natural element: magnesium. When considering any treatment, whether a natural substance or a drug, you should consider the evidence. Is it convincing? Does the treatment make sense? Have studies been done? What do experts say? As you will see in this book, the evidence in all of these regards is huge and convincing for magnesium, and the experts recommending magnesium are many, representing both mainstream and alternative medicine from both the academic and clinical wings. Scientific evidence is important, but as every medical textbook teaches, the ultimate test is how well a treatment works for individual patients. As we have seen again and again in recent years, many promising drugs with outstanding research have proved ineffective for some patients or toxic for others, necessitating disuse or outright withdrawal. Magnesium's safety has been established over six decades. Today, magnesium is commonly used in cardiac care units for heart arrhythmias. It is used intravenously in maternity units to treat the dangerou
