I caught part of a radio show today, and was shocked when the "doctor" on the show (who was selling his brand of vitamins) said that chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinsons, MS (and several other conditions) are simply a result of magnesium deficiency. He said that calcium cannot be absorbed into the blood stream without magnesium. (I know it can't be absorbed without Vit. D.) He made it sound as if taking magnesium can prevent you from getting MS and can cure it.
My immediate thought was "What a bunch of baloney! You can't say that these problems are simply caused by magnesium deficiency without proof!" But is there any truth to this? What do you think? I know they're looking at a link between MS and low Vitamin D, but this is the first I've heard of a link with magnesium deficiency.
