Andy - Mg Citrate and planning pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

I am planning pregnance currently.

Lately, I've been taking Magnesium Citrate in high doses due to depleted

magnesium symptoms. After about a month I felt some discomfort in my kidneys. I

remember Andy wrote in his book that citrate forms of minerals can serve as very

mild chelators.

I am worried whether my discomfort feeling can be due to the fact that MgCitrate

started chelating througth my kidneys. In this case, I suppose, I should be not

planning pregnancy, as the growing tissue will absorb all the toxins coming out,

and the baby will absorb chelated metals.

What do you think, what is the risk? It is so important for me, as I just

realised it, and I am in panic.

I would really appreciate if Dr. Cutler could reply.

Thanks in advance.

I think you might need to recheck Dr. Cutlers book. I've read it probably 30

times and don't recall him saying magnesium is a mild chelator. As far as I know

it does not chelate anything. Or I'd be cured by now, so would my kids.

Magnesium is generally excreted in stool, thus the reason is causes diahrrea if

you take too much. So the kidney pain..who knows.

if you're terribly concerned I would lower the dose of magnesium. And I'd be

more concerned if I had a toxic hair test, wasn't eating right, etc in terms of

conception and how toxic my body might be.

Thanks for the answer, Jan! I remember the book saying that citrate forms are

very mild agents but I will recheck it once again.
