MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES

By Vergini, MD - Italy

Back in 1915, a French surgeon, Prof.Pierre Delbet,MD, was looking for a

solution to cleanse wounds, because he had found out that the traditional

antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and facilitated the infection

instead of preventing it.

He tested several mineral solutions and discovered that a Magnesium Chloride

solution was not only harmless for tissues, but it had also a great effect

over leucocytic activity and phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external

wounds treatment.

Dr.Delbet performed a lot of ”in vitro” and ”in vivo” experiments with this

solution and he became aware that it was good not only for external

applications, but it was also a powerful immuno-stimulant if taken by

injections or even by mouth. He called this effect ”cytophilaxis”. In some

”in vivo” experiments it was able to increase phagocytosis rate up to 300%.

Dr.Delbet serendipitously discovered that this oral solution had also a tonic

effect on many people and so became aware that the Magnesium Chloride had an

effect on the whole organism.

In a brief time, he received communications of very good therapeutics effects

of this ”therapy” from people that were taking Magnesium Chloride for its

tonic properties and who were suffering from various ailments.

Prof. Delbet began to closely study the subject and verified that the

Magnesium Chloride solution was a very good therapy for a long list of

diseases.

He obtained very good results in: colitis, angiocholitis and cholecystitis in

the digestive apparatus; Parkinson´s Disease, senile tremors and muscular

cramps in the nervous system; acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts, itch of various

origins and chilblains in the skin. There was a strengthening of hair and

nails, a good effect on diseases typical of the aged (impotency, prostatic

hypertrophy, cerebral and circulatory troubles) and on diseases of allergic

origin (hay-fever, asthma, urticaria and anaphylactic reactions).

Then Prof.Delbet began to investigate the relationship between Magnesium and

Cancer. After a lot of clinical and experimental studies, he found that

Magnesium Chloride had a very good effect on prevention of cancer and that it

was able to cure several precancerous conditions: leucoplasia,

hyperkeratosis, chronic mastitis, etc.

Epidemiological studies confirmed Delbet´s views and demonstrated that the

regions with soil more rich in magnesium had less cancer incidence, and vice

versa.

In experimental studies, the Magnesium Chloride solution was also able to

slow down the course of cancer in laboratory animals.

Prof.Delbet wrote two books, ”Politique Preventive du Cancer” (1944) and

”L´Agriculture et la Santé” (1945), in which he stated his ideas about cancer

prevention and a better living. The first is a well documented report of all

his studies on Magnesium Chloride.

In 1943 another French doctor, A.Neveu,MD, used the Magnesium Chloride

solution in a case of diphteria to reduce the risks of anaphylactic reaction

due to the anti-diphteric serum that he was ready to administer.

To his great surprise, when the next day the laboratory results confirmed the

diagnosis of diphteria, the little girl was completely cured, before he could

use the serum.

He credited the immuno-stimulant activity to the solution for this result,

and he tested it in some other diphteric patients. All the patients were

cured in a very short time (24-48 hours), with no after-effects. As Magnesium

Chloride has no direct effect on bacteria (i.e. it is not an antibiotic ),

Neveu thought that its action was aspecific, immuno-enhancing, so it could be

useful, in the same manner, also against viral diseases. So he began to treat

some cases of poliomyelitis, and had the same wonderful results. He was very

excited and tried to divulge the therapy, but he ran into a wall of hostility

and obstructionism from ”Official Medicine”. Neither Neveu or Delbet (who was

a member of the Academy of Medicine) was able to diffuse Neveu´s

extraordinary results. The opposition was total: Professors of Medicine,

Medical Peer-Reviews, the Academy itself, all were against the two doctors.

”Official Medicine” saw in Magnesium Chloride Therapy a threat to its new and

growing business: vaccinations.

Dr.Neveu wasn´t discouraged by this and continued to test this therapy in a

wide range of diseases. He obtained very good results in: pharyngitis,

tonsillitis, hoarseness, common cold, influenza, asthma, bronchitis,

broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary emphysema, ”children diseases” (whooping-cough,

measles, rubella, mumps, scarlet fever...), alimentary and professional

poisonings, gastroenteritis, boils, abscesses, erysipelas, whitlow, septic

pricks (wounds), puerperal fever and osteomyelitis.

But the indications for Magnesium Chloride therapy don´t end here. In more

recent years other physicians (and I among these) have verified many of

Delbet´s and Neveu´s applications and have tried the therapy in other

pathologies: asthmatic acute attack, shock, tetanus (for these the solution

is administered by intravenous injection); herpes zoster, acute and chronic

conjunctivitis, optic neuritis, rheumatic diseases, many allergic diseases,

spring-asthenia and Cronic Fatigue Syndrome (even in cancer it can be an

useful adjuvant).

The preceding lists of ailments are by no means exhaustive; maybe other

illnesses can be treated with this therapy but, as this is a relatively

”young” treatment, we are pioneers, and we need the help of all physicians of

good will to definitely establish all the true possibilities of this

wonderful therapy.

>From a practical standpoint, please remember that only Magnesium CHLORIDE has

this ”cytophilactic” activity, and no other magnesium salt; probably it´s a

molecular, and not a merely ionic, matter.

The solution to be used is a 2.5% Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2-6H2O)

solution (i.e.: 25 grams / 1 liter of water).

Dosages are as follows:

Adults and children over 5 years old 125 cc

4 year old children 100 cc

3 year old children 80 cc

1-2 year old children 60 cc

Over 6 months old children 30 cc

Under 6 months old children 15 cc

These doses must be administered BY MOUTH. The only contraindication to

Magnesium Chloride Therapy is a severe renal insufficiency. As the magnesium

chloride has a mild laxative effect, diarrhea sometimes appears on the first

days of therapy, especially when high dosages (i.e. three doses a day) are

taken; but this is not a reason to stop the therapy. The taste of the

solution is not very good (it has a bitter-saltish flavor) so a little of

fruit juice (grapefruit, orange, lemon) can be added to the solution, or it

can be even used in the place of water to make the solution itself.

For CHRONIC diseases the standard treatment is one dose morning and evening

for a long period (several months at least, but it can be continued for

years).

In ACUTE diseases the dose is administered every 6 hours (every 3 hours the

first two doses if the case is serious); then space every 8 hours and then 12

hours as improvement goes on. After recovery it´s better going on with a dose

every 12 hours for some days.

As a PREVENTIVE measure, and as a magnesium supplement, one dose a day can be

taken indefinitely. Magnesium Chloride, even if it´s an inorganic salt, is

very well absorbed and it´s a very good supplemental magnesium source.

For INTRAVENOUS injection, the formula is:

Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate 25 grams

Distilled Water 100 cc

Make injections of 10-20cc (very slowly, over 10-20 minutes) once or twice a

day. Of course the solution must be sterilized.

This therapy gives very good results also in Veterinary Medicine, at the

appropriate dosages depending upon the size and kind of animals.
