What are your thoughts and opinions on magnesium for lyme?
Some docs feel magnesium is bad for lyme - like food for the spirochete.
Other docs recommend magnesium.
This can be a serious matter. Deprive or give extra?
Does anyone know if there are any long term good lasting effects of depriving lyme bodies of magnesium and whether it helped them get well?
So confusing.......hmmmmmm

IMHO - Magnesium (IV, IM and topical) is the number one thing you can do to help you to recover. So many of our symptoms are a result of magnesium deficiency. And it's a deficiency that will persist, regardless of how long you've been on antibiotics. Tight muscles, blood pressure issues, sound sensitivity, paranoia, insomnia - can all be traced back to magnesium deficiency.
Marnie used to post volumes on the topic. And she was so right. If you search, as Seek said, you will find tons of information.
I have seen myself transformed during the 20 minutes it took to have an IV of Magnesium Chloride. I am well, and have been off abx for more than 6 years now, but it still took me a long time to get this corrected.

I can attest to feeling immediate relief from Trace Minerals liquid magnesium. Anxiety disappears within 30 minutes for me. The frequency of anxiety has significantly decreased with a few weeks of taking it.

It's not a bad question since other infections, like babs, use iron and then supplementation can actually add fuel to the fire.
However, your body needs minerals too so I would say as long as you're treating concurrently with supplementation then it should be a good strategy.
Plus mag helps reduce many of the common lyme symptoms.

darwinsdream- I have not been here long, but is it my impression that it is fine to bring up subjects that have been discussed before as long as you have loooked at the previous threads on the subject to some degree
The board and information evolve so the same subjects do pop up on kind of a cylical basis
