Winona,

Sounds like you've put a lot of research into the magnesium issue, both

theoretical and empirical. Just when I thought I had it figured out, based

on other's people's experiences, you present a very credible claim that

maybe it ain't so. If magnesium oxide works for you, I have to respect

that. I find the whole experience of claims and anecdotal evidence of one

group of people versus oppositional claims and evidence of other groups of

people to be very confusing and overwhelming. Maybe there's just not one

right answer?
