I would strongly suggest that if you are going to take magnesium supplements to do so at night before you go to bed. I used to take all of my supplements in the morning and then I would be so tired during the day and I didn’t know why. Taking magnesium at night before bed was a game changer for me.
Same here. I actually take them at dinner to be sure to get fat and water to absorb them. I’m also very very very forgetful in the morning. So it’s a win win.
Same, I got Lif-flo magnesium lotion, my RLS disappears when I use it and it does work better in evening, so I’m not falling asleep too soon. This helps me in so many ways💕 thank you

I've dealt with severe pain for decades. I was anorexic & after I began eating daily it took me over a year to realize I was eating the wrong foods. I'm still allergic to milk, beef and soy. Magnesium has helped my pain levels to go down a lot along with the diet changes. And helps my sleep a lot. I did have neurosurgery in March & it helped get rid of about 40% of my overall pain. But I had been malnourished big time. Eating correctly & taking supplements has changed my life drastically.
I just learned it's oxalates that I'm extremely sensitive to. That's my problem. 50+ yrs of pain and not 1 Dr could figure that out or that I'm autistic.
T. B....may I know what type of neurosurgury you have?Where and what did the dr. done?I'm from South Africa and never heard about surguries on neuro/nerves.My English is not perfect...but try to let me understand this...thank you so much
Have you tried raw goats milk? Many who are allergic to milk are so because we're drinking low quality supermarket milk. Goats milk us highly digestible and enzymatic whole.
After having mild but persistent pain in my hip and lower back for months, I suspected that I night be magnesium deficient. Watched your video and it was confirmation for me. I took magnesium glycenate: and two days later the pain is GONE. I came here straight away to let you know!! I'm watching all of your series on back pain, etc. Thank you, new subbie here!!
I use magnesium for that exact thing. It works wonderfully well! I mix a tiny bit in a glass of cold water and those awful, scary random flutters calm down.
I was plagued with some screaming cramps due to arthritis in my feet that persistently woke me up at night. A wonderful MD suggested magnesium which was life-changing for me. Thank you so much for your presentation which I have forwarded to someone else in need. I am a grateful subscriber. Keep up the great work.
I hadn't realised the arthritis in my feet was actually psoriatic arthritis. I've been taking Mg for other reasons but yes, the pain in my right heel mostly stays away.
I started with a topical magnesium , Theraworx, effective but needs a few minutes before the cramps stop in my feet. Learned later about supplement pills, recommended daily dose worked, cramps now rare, infrequent. I keep the Theraworx still, for that rare cramp moment.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have suffered from rheumatoid and osteoarthritis since I can remember. I am 82. I fell on my right hip 20 months ago and have gone through a series pain management to no avail. I am finally feeling better since I starter taking magnesium which has certainly given me a significant easing of pain which helps me to remain able to function on my own.
I began taking magnesium malate or glycinate a few years ago due to eating a ketogenic diet due to diabetes. As a wonderful side effect my migraines became far less, muscle pain decreases quite a lot, and my BP doesn't have as many swings. We found it helps my husband with pain, and stress issues he had. It also helps him sleep better. There are two vitamins that I notice reduce my muscle pain, magnesium and vitamin D. They make a big difference. Other vitamins do help, but magnesium I never want to be without again.
@radicallyforjesus Vitamin D very helpful to me as well in combination with magnesium. Slightly off topic but some new formulations of curcumin I'm finding very helpful relieving pain--for me it took a few months before I noticed it. I hope the good doctor can get around to covering the pros/cons of curcumin. I'm finding you gotta do "all the above" to make any noticeable/helpful difference, take care all
I also take magnesium, D3, raw turmeric, cayenne pepper pepper and garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil and some other things. I really thought i was dying when I started but now I'm only sore in my hands. Zinc helps also.
@@gettingstuffdoneright5332 yep, you have began to realize that human nutrition is important and poorly understood by most doctors, and that we have been given much misinformation from government
The form of magnesium is very important. The Magnesium Glycinate form is more readily absorbed and the side effects are minimal if they exist at all. It's more expensive, but really worth it! Read the supplement label and get the one without the other forms of magnesium. I no longer have migraines and no loose bowels (which I had with the cheaper magnesium oxide), and I sleep much better! Thank you, Dr. Furlan!
Did you get diagnosed for magnesium deficiency or just go for it? My migraines are getting more frequent I just want a fix without dinking around wirh referralsand blood work. Someone told me about Mg the other day so I'm here. Sleeping more soundly and through the whole night would also be a plus. Any correlation with caffeine and your migraines?
Here it is 1:11 AM and I woke because of physical pain from being on my feet for 6.5 hrs prior to bed. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia many yrs ago yet I believe it is more from issues of the diabetes curse. I have been taking many supplements and more recently added Magnesium. I am so blessed to have come across your posts and look forward to keeping up with your past and future informational posts. May God's divine blessings and favor continue to be upon you Dr.
I suffered from migraines for many years until I read an article of a woman who used Magnesium for her migraines and it helped. I bought it and took it 3 times a day and still do because I never had migraines again.
And magnesium was the only thing that stopped the post herpetic pain a family member had for 20+ years after Shingles. She began taking magnesium for muscles spasms but we realised it was relieving her shingles pain. When she ran out of magnesium the pain would come back. When she started it again, the pain went away.
Hi what kind of magnesium did he take?my mother also suffers now from nerve pain because of shinglws,may i know what magnesium did take to ease the pain nerve thank u
@@candyvillanueva6991we're in Australia, and used Cabot Health's Magnesium Complete. If you go to their website and look up, Magnesium Complete, it will give you the ingredients. Hope the information is of use and helps you.
I have insomnia and deal with chronic pain..so I know I dont get enough from my food intake so I take supplements...you are teaching that it is helpful to a ton of other things I am dealing with..so wonderful for your help!
I used to get terrible migraine headaches. Years ago I began to take magnesium for my muscle cramps, and now I never get migraine headaches anymore! I never thought they might be connected. I want to try magnesium glycenate because I have insomnia.
Dr Andrea gave me my life back, the pain still here, but under control. The best pain doctor ever. Thank you for more this material and for all you have been doing to me.
I take magnesium chloride in its liquid form doesn't taste good but after rinsing it out down with plain water it works very well to replenish or build up my magnesium levels

I was able to completely eliminate the 6-12 migraines per month I was getting. I started at 1500 mg and titrated down to 250-500bmg daily. I haven't needed to fill a prescription auto-injector for migraines for 3 years.
I went through so many invasive treatments only to realize I had central sensitization that mainly affects my lower pelvis. Sometimes I find the best help for CS is reducing stress and increasing exercise even on days when I don’t want to. It has made a massive difference in tampering down abnormal signals from my brain. However, it’s nice to have a little bit of help either pharmaceutically or in the form of supplements so I’m always interested to see these things. I was taking magnesium for constipation but to be honest, Things have been better for me lately and maybe I can attribute that to magnesium
HAVE THE SAME THING!!! I've never met anyone who has something similar to me. I have to take Lyrica and Naltrexone. I notice exercise (finally I can move) has reduced my pain which was horrific for a year and half. I'm just finally enjoying lower pain but my athleticism has gone down by 90 percent. I use to be a skier, hiker and biker. I can't even sit yet or drive. Message me anytime. I'm Laura Stollorz Schroeder. I take B12, Vitamin D, Fish oil and Vitamin A. I'm trying to get my body back and gain weight but it's been a challenge. I'm trying to be more positive. I love Micheal Sealey for Hypnosis on UA-cam. I would like to take Magnesium Malate.
In addition to magnesium, but a bunch of silicone scar gel and apply it all over your pelvis area 2x a day. It will restore the tissue, which has had excessive calcium and other minerals accumulate in it.
@@lauraschroeder8177 Hello I am Kally, My body has been in pain for Two years after dental appointment two years ago. I heard the drug from podcast about Natrexone. Does it work for you? and how much you take? and you also take Lyrica. So are these drugs have much of side effects ? Thank you Kally from Alberta
@@lauraschroeder8177 To be more specific, I developed interstitial cystitis from too many UTIs when I was young. Then I was given a nerve block which unfortunately irritated my pudendal nerve and then I end up with something horrible called pudendal neuralgia. Of course you can add pelvic floor dysfunction on top of that which generally develops when you have excessive nerve pain. I was a mountain biker before all this happened, and as you can imagine, with these conditions it can be excruciating to sit on a bike seat. Some people would tell me it’s even damaging, but I have found that with the right bike set up and slow return to my favorite activities, I can ride Pretty much pain-free now. I just have to use a special saddle and I’m good. It wasn’t easy at first, you’re always gonna have a bit more pain when trying to get back into activity when you’re this sensitive. I would consider myself 80% better. I have people contacting me all the time from support groups because they can’t believe I’m sitting on a bike and doing better from some thing supposedly so incurable. I tell them I use mind-body approaches but that it’s not an overnight fix. It’s a constant maintenance.
Hi Dr Andrea. I have a slipped disk and have been suffering horrible pain for the last 3 weeks left leg all the way down to the foot. I have taken the prescribe pain killers, but I am still suffering. I watched this vid/post last night and took your advice. The supplement was magnesium taurate, 2 tablets, also 1 this morning. It was the best sleep I have had in 3 weeks. The pain is back this morning but there seems to be a slight improvement. Thank you so much, and God bless you.
I stumbled upon magnesium 2 yrs ago from another source. But today while I’m watching this, it’s great explanation and very true. I will not go without. Your body uses it 300 Times a second on the cellular level. It does just about everything. Much more than pain. Blood pressure, strong bones and teeth , it also makes the arteries in your heart and veins more elastic like they were when we were kids and young adults. So basically your chances of having heart disease lessons and it keeps your circulatory system in much better working condition by taking magnesium. Taking vitamin D3 not only helps with depression, pain and strong bones, it also is needed to be taken with all your other vitamins and supplements to be evenly distributed around your body. Recently came across this info, incase anyone else was not aware of this info on D3 and magnesium. So I will not take my vitamins and supplements without vitamin D3 at same time now
@My Love Is there any point in taking multi vitamins? I've bought some & they made me ill so I bought a bunch of separate vitamins including K2 to try, but they're all so huge! I have issues swallowing them all.
Since I started using Magnesium (2x250mg daily) I no longer suffer from diabetic cramps. My heart disease (according to my cardiologist) also seems to be in check with my AFIB undetected 50% of the time vs. 100% of the time as it had been in the last 10-years.
That was really interesting. Thanks. Just looking on Cronometer it seems very easy to get up to the daily amount and at under a 1000 calories too. I took 15g of raw cacao because it's non dutched and therefore froths very effectively in a milk frother, especially using organic, unsweetened soya milk (250ml). Two medium slices of whole wheat bread and 200g of baked beans. Milled flax seeds 10g...the sprouted type are especially good. Then sweet potato and carrots 150g each and 150g each of broccoli and cabbage. That's 965 Kcal and approx 420mg of magnesium. Incidentally that also gives well over 100% of Phosphorous, iron, manganese and copper and nearly 100% of calcium, potassium, zinc and selenium, not to mention most of the daily vitamin requirements and a great omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. In the UK that's very inexpensive food especially at those small quantities
You are a wise man!! I like Your ability to compile a list & eat those things to nourish the body. Wonderful!! Thank You & Bless You for making such a great example!
also BRILLIANT to point out IF a person ate FOOD we would not need any 'meds' to further bring imbalance, excesses & deficiencies into our bodies. That will NEVER be corrected with (spelling does not count - You know what I mean :-) ) metroprolol, omperazole, thoroxin, statins etc etc etc.... EAT FOOD! Be well!!
Unfortunately most commercially grown vegetables are lacking natural minerals due to the methods used to grow them. Soils are depleted of natural minerals and so farmers are using fertilisers to grow. As well hydroponics, where they use fertilisers and so the vegetables are lacking in many minerals usually found in organically production. Then there's the pesticides and other chemicals used to get picture perfect uniform products on the shelves. This is also the case with meats. Unless you're eating organic foods and non GMO it's a loosing battle....
I use Magnesium Chloride oil and use it topically for my pain. In fact, I use most of my oil topically for optimal results. I do not have diarrhea using this method.
@@craftjunkie-gq2rb I'd like to know that, too, if you try it. I have neuropathy (numbness alternating with pain) in the soles of my feet and toes. I take magnesium citrate but it doesn't help my feet, so I'd like to know if the oil would.
I have just come across your videos. I LOVE how they are all so clear, easy to understand and you get straight to the point. Excellent and easy to apply information. Thank you!!!
I'm 58. I take magnesium/zinc about an hr before bedtime. I also take collagen in the morning. I rarely have pain, maybe a little shoulder stiffness but I've dealt with that issue since my early 20s.
Thank you! I have watched many videos on magnesium for pain by different educated people but your video has explained the different types of magnesium supplements far better than most. You gave factual information, good sources of information and explained it in detail. I have CFS, Fibro Myalgia and diabetic neuropathy. I eat a fair number of the foods that you listed that have a good source of magnesium yet I still have all the signs of deficiency. I think it's due to all the medications I take. I think adding the magnesium Glycinate taken in the evening would be a good option for me. My leg pain and feet pain is far greater when trying to sleep. I understand this video was for informational purposes only.
I have taken 250 mg at hours of sleep for several years, also make you sleep better. Good for heart also for younger women with monthly loss of blood (periods)
Hi Dr.Andrea Furlan for bringing this video on just at the right time for me to learn about magnesium helping with muscular pain I’am having,and also for anxiety,and insomnia as you mention,and i must add I used it for leg cramps and it did help to get rid of the leg cramps,keep more videos coming thank you😘🙏

Synergy is basically the theory of multiple nutrients needed to be ingested because they need to be able to work together. Taking a magnesium pill could drive down other nutrients in your body that are low already causing disease. If you are well to do or have a relative that loves to garden you would be best to grow green vegetables especially vegetables such as broccoli to get the multiple nutrients that are needed. Increasing your magnesium without maintaining proper potassium levels could be a dire problem
Very clear and thanks. I have been taking a Cal, Mag, D tablet for years. If I miss a couple of days I feel like my joints are seizing up from arthritis pain. Thanks for confirming about mg.

Hi Dr.Furlan first thank you for sharing your knowledge. A family member was told her blood platelets dropped very low……My question is how can she raise her blood platelets naturally ? Can you do a video on that condition? Thank you in advance for any information you can share
Magnesium all but ended my High Blood Pressure and PVCs. I went into the Hospital, had tests , etc, and no Doctor ever told me I was electrolyte deficient. A Vitamin Salesman told this , and it changed my Life.
I consulted my Dr and she highly recommended because I also have high calcium levels and blunt pain in my right thigh that she is treating with Magnesium for now.. Wish me luck, just started on this regimen.
so i used magnesium because ive been feeling tired, but i suffer from chronic back pain and i noticed the pain subsided after a short time, few days later i had back pain again and i used the magnesium and yup, it reduced drastically again.

Thanks for your video. It gave me good information. Couples of months ago. I want to take magnesium L-threaonate for pain, anxiety, and sleep. So I asked my doctor to order my blood level of magnesium before I decide to take it. The result came back showed that my blood magnesium is within normal level. So I am now hesitated to take due to it may cause overdose. My doctor thinks it is OK to take but said I do not necessarily need it.
I had similar situation yrs ago but did research and learned physiological levels and therapeutic can be diff and My MD agreed also that there are limits to diagnostic tests. There are good studies on this. I’ve taken citrate then glycinate for many yrs and really find it helps with pain, sleep and anxiety. L-threaonate is good for brain function.
A gentle reminder that research has recently shown that “normal” levels are not optimal levels. “ normal levels” were developed many decades ago, usually in reference to preventing a particular disease/ deficiency that was common in the first half of the last century. Best of luck!✨
It's taking a while at least a year but I'm convinced that daily dosing of magnesium malate has helped enormously with pain and migraine frequency and intensity. Good luck to everyone

I’ve taken calcium with magnesium (called vital-mag, Shaklee brand) for years for migraines, or for muscle spasms in the back (which are quite painful, like labor pains in the back 😩), and it works real well. It’s not instant relief. It takes time to work, depending on the severity of pain. Better to take it daily, but sometimes I get bad about that. This is a safer, more natural method above over-the-counter drugs. Also good for charlie horses in the shins.
My doctor just told me to start taking 500mg of this a day as I suffer from chronic pain from countless injuries throughout a very violent life as well as extreme anxiety and PTSD, lately I was experiencing taquacardia and bracacardia due to lowering my Clonazepam too quickly...... This lead to a level of terror even I have never experienced before.... I was waking up scared of what the day would bring, if I even slept, to going to bed in terror.... Last week my big toe went numb and I told him about the discomfort in the same leg.... It was as if he had an epiphany and said I needed to take the magnesium...... It's only been a few days of taking 400mg but tonight I'll be taking the recommend 500 as I had to wait for delivery...... I already feel a bit better but I'm getting a EKG and something else done later this week.... Oh and my numb toe has decreased...... I'll update this in a bit when I know more.... Thanks for the explanation, it helped.....

I was having cloudy vision which routinely was blamed on cataract in early stage.i took magnesium glycinate and only few days cloudy vision seems to have diminished and being energetic and cramps and fasciculation of muscled getting improved.
Magnesium glycinate does wonders for my spasms and my pain. Also D3 10k daily. Off all Rxs except for gabapentin or pregabilin occasionally for nerve pain. Thank you, I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm a wee bit afraid to go into pain management due to a few stories I've heard from friends.
@@tamarisk3109 I can’t speak for them but I take 400-600mg or more per day with food divided with 200-300mg at night. I also use gel for acute spasms. Good luck.
I’ve been dealing with pain for 10 years. Lack of proper medical care from the military and injuries after my discharge. Magnesium has helped me with my pain in lumbar area as well as both of knees.

Funny how I clicked on this subject. I am 85 and in good hesalth. I have taken recommended vitamins as usual with the exception of Mg. After taking Mg I felt more alert and stronger. When I didn't my lethargic posture resumed. I take a triple Magnesium complex 400mg/day. A combination of Mg silicate, triglycerides and stearate.) So the label reads.
Magnesium also is instrumental in regulating calcium in vivo. I had prostate calcifications and an event caused a huge prostatitis flare-up and literally could not urinate until my bladder was very uncomfortably overfull. I took 1000 mlg. of magnesium, and literally within 5-10 minutes, there was noticeably marked improvement and I could urinate. Within days I was completely back to normal.
Yep, _so many conditions_ are caused by the excessive calcification of soft tissue purely because of mag deficiency. Every organ and muscle in my body calcified when my doctor put me on synthetic VitD (which is fundamentally toxic and the main cause of disease in the US) Magnesium healed all of it.
What type of magnesium did you take? What brand, and what salt, and what co-components (excipients, e.g. rice flour, celullose, etc.) are listed? Best thing is to give the brand and dose and all that information will be available somewhere. What other drugs (and supplements) were you taking at the time, and for how long has that relief been preserved?
I've only one comment.. great channel.. great dr.. always talk evidence based...and a great help for the pts and sufferes in general....May Almighty keep you healthy wealthy and wise
This is good to know. I have been taking magnesium citrate and I stopped taking it for a while before and after gallbladder surgery to give my gut a rest. Now I think I need it again and I would like to try magnesium glycinate. Also, since my gallbladder has been removed it seems my metabolism is using food and supplemental nutrients better. My fingernails are growing for the first time in 10 years. I feel better, more energetics. I’m still tired but that could be something else. Two years ago I fell in my backyard and could not get up, without help. I fell again a few weeks ago and I got right up myself. This is a huge change. I’d appreciate it if people would designate which magnesium they take in their comments about their own experience. They mention what kind of pain they had and where but then they just say magnesium and we don’t know which one if we have the same type of pain.
It's the best thing for runners cramp which can wake you suddenly in the middle of the night with pain in both legs! The effect of a magnesium tablet is almost instantaneous in the relief it brings!
I have been taking Magnesium for 20 years plus originally to help me sleep better, over the years I have learned many other benefits and of course now I have learned it also helps build your immune system

How about Trigeminal Nerve Pain aka facial/mouth/gum/jaw pain and stomatitis aka burning mouth syndrome? Thank you for addressing pain relief via magnesium.
Ketamine in street addicts destroyed their bladders and gave them IC. I use Ketamine and was very worried. Doctors and Pharmacists will tell you it is safe. I have cut down on my usage but want to completely get off of the drug. I will try Magnesium Malate. Movement has helped my pain.
Laura, be sure to drink lots of clean water before and after using keta, and drink lots of water the day after, don't hit the coffee the next day. I do recommend using only small amounts, microdosing and never every day, it is difficult. If you smoke, stopping will improve your pain threshold dramaically. taking cold showers/cold swims will also do a world of good for your pain, stay away from normal pain meds as they lower your pain threshold. If you arent doing yoga, give it a go for at least a month and see how it works for you. adding potassium suppliments does a world of good for me with my energy and pain relief mixed with magnesium, it is a daily basic for me. Just be sure to drink a glass of orange juice or water with lemon juice in it as to stop kidney stones. listen to your body as best as you can , and take it easy on yourself. Blessings

I have fibromyalgia. I am 52 and in pain for more than 30 years. I didn't know this much about magnesium. I once used magnesium salts but the taste is terrible i then discontinued using it. Im so happy today that i came across this video. Hoping to come back with positive testimony.
I take magnesium tartrate which was prescribed by my doctor because of my chronic diarrhea. I have migraine and many other body pain issues. I also use a magnesium spray on my legs and feet for cramps which works if you put enough on. I take my magnesium in night shortly before I go to bed to help me sleep also.
Dr. Andrea is there a similar medicine compared to magnesium ? I'm asking that because of the reaction of the medicine in the intestine as I usually have problems with diarrhea, I'm certain I cannot take it. Thk you.
Mag is the most important factor in hypertension. Mag deficiency makes excess minerals (mainly calcium) accumulate in soft tissue, which restricts blood flow between different areas and directly causes hypertension. Cholesterol is 100% meaningless. Hypertension and heart disease are all about mag deficiency.
I have to say how crazy it was to hear you talk about migraine. After a lifetime of trial and error. I do everything you talk about and raised my kids on the same diet. This is SO important.Tons of nuts ,avocados , ect... We avoid anything processed or with a ton of preservatives. Do we cheat. Yes but that can hurt. . Lol. I also have been taking baths in the salts for decades when it’s bad. A good rare steak seems to help also. My question is in reference to insomnia. I had it BAD. I could go days without sleep to the point of hallucinations. 5 days was the longest. Worked my regular schedules , kids , baths ect.... I wasent just laying around. I had no idea how to explain this to my dr without sounding insane. This we,t on for about 10 years. I learned a trick to tell what was real and if it was just in my head. The fix. Gabapentin. Have no idea why but it works. I have a failing ACDF at C4 /C 5. And instead of pain meds he prescribed gabapentin. I’m taking 1200 mg a day. I have been on same dose for almost 2 years and I sleep like a normal person. Every night around 6 hrs a night. For me. That is AMAZING . Do you have any idea why this works a,d what is causing it ?
Hormones, especially for females can cause sleep issues. Might get that checked. Also a sleep study wouldn't hurt. I've also used gabapentin after a bad car accident for my legs due to severed nerves. It helps and with sleep, but unfortunately for me, it makes me depressed if I take it everyday.
I took gabapentin for about 11 weeks 3x a day for they thought it would help my fibromyalgia pain.... It helped NOTHING and I didn't like the way it made me feel! More importantly I basically quit taking my magnesium because it had to be separated out from the medicine! And so now I'm playing catch up to replace my magnesium! Rheumatologist appointment tomorrow , blood work and see where all my levels are .... I've decided NO STEROID SHOT TOMORROW EITHER!

I would strongly suggest that if you are going to take magnesium supplements to do so at night before you go to bed. I used to take all of my supplements in the morning and then I would be so tired during the day and I didn’t know why. Taking magnesium at night before bed was a game changer for me.
Same here. I actually take them at dinner to be sure to get fat and water to absorb them. I’m also very very very forgetful in the morning. So it’s a win win.
I take a magnesium powdered drink at night to help me sleep. It works well for me.:)
Yes that is the truth it gives u a good night sleep
Same, I got Lif-flo magnesium lotion, my RLS disappears when I use it and it does work better in evening, so I’m not falling asleep too soon. This helps me in so many ways💕 thank you

I've dealt with severe pain for decades. I was anorexic & after I began eating daily it took me over a year to realize I was eating the wrong foods. I'm still allergic to milk, beef and soy. Magnesium has helped my pain levels to go down a lot along with the diet changes. And helps my sleep a lot. I did have neurosurgery in March & it helped get rid of about 40% of my overall pain. But I had been malnourished big time. Eating correctly & taking supplements has changed my life drastically.
I just learned it's oxalates that I'm extremely sensitive to. That's my problem. 50+ yrs of pain and not 1 Dr could figure that out or that I'm autistic.
T. B....may I know what type of neurosurgury you have?Where and what did the dr. done?I'm from South Africa and never heard about surguries on neuro/nerves.My English is not perfect...but try to let me understand this...thank you so much
Carnivore Doctors..Anthony Chaffee MD & Shawn Baker MD. 👍
May I ask what is neurosurgery and how did they determine you needed it?
Have you tried raw goats milk? Many who are allergic to milk are so because we're drinking low quality supermarket milk. Goats milk us highly digestible and enzymatic whole.
After having mild but persistent pain in my hip and lower back for months, I suspected that I night be magnesium deficient. Watched your video and it was confirmation for me.

I started with a topical magnesium , Theraworx, effective but needs a few minutes before the cramps stop in my feet. Learned later about supplement pills, recommended daily dose worked, cramps now rare, infrequent.
I keep the Theraworx still, for that rare cramp moment.
I use magnes active 300mg under the tongue. My cramps vanished within 5 to 10 minutes. Magnes direct 400mg can also be used.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have suffered from rheumatoid and osteoarthritis since I can remember. I am 82. I fell on my right hip 20 months ago and have gone through a series pain management to no avail.

I began taking magnesium malate or glycinate a few years ago due to eating a ketogenic diet due to diabetes. As a wonderful side effect my migraines became far less, muscle pain decreases quite a lot, and my BP doesn't have as many swings. We found it helps my husband with pain, and stress issues he had. It also helps him sleep better. There are two vitamins that I notice reduce my muscle pain, magnesium and vitamin D. They make a big difference. Other vitamins do help, but magnesium I never want to be without again.
@radicallyforjesus Vitamin D very helpful to me as well in combination with magnesium. Slightly off topic but some new formulations of curcumin I'm finding very helpful relieving pain--for me it took a few months before I noticed it. I hope the good doctor can get around to covering the pros/cons of curcumin. I'm finding you gotta do "all the above" to make any noticeable/helpful difference, take care all
I also take magnesium, D3, raw turmeric, cayenne pepper pepper and garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil and some other things. I really thought i was dying when I started but now I'm only sore in my hands. Zinc helps also.

The form of magnesium is very important. The Magnesium Glycinate form is more readily absorbed and the side effects are minimal if they exist at all. It's more expensive, but really worth it! Read the supplement label and get the one without the other forms of magnesium. I no longer have migraines and no loose bowels (which I had with the cheaper magnesium oxide), and I sleep much better! Thank you, Dr. Furlan!
Did you get diagnosed for magnesium deficiency or just go for it? My migraines are getting more frequent I just want a fix without dinking around wirh referralsand blood work. Someone told me about Mg the other day so I'm here. Sleeping more soundly and through the whole night would also be a plus. Any correlation with caffeine and your migraines?
Here it is 1:11 AM and I woke because of physical pain from being on my feet for 6.5 hrs prior to bed. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia many yrs ago yet I believe it is more from issues of the diabetes curse. I have been taking many supplements and more recently added Magnesium. I am so blessed to have come across your posts and look forward to keeping up with your past and future informational posts. May God's divine blessings and favor continue to be upon you Dr.

And magnesium was the only thing that stopped the post herpetic pain a family member had for 20+ years after Shingles. She began taking magnesium for muscles spasms but we realised it was relieving her shingles pain. When she ran out of magnesium the pain would come back.

I was able to completely eliminate the 6-12 migraines per month I was getting. I started at 1500 mg and titrated down to 250-500bmg daily. I haven't needed to fill a prescription auto-injector for migraines for 3 years.
That’s awesome! What brand and/or type are you using?
I like using magnesium “calm”.
I went through so many invasive treatments only to realize I had central sensitization that mainly affects my lower pelvis. Sometimes I find the best help for CS is reducing stress and increasing exercise even on days when I don’t want to. It has made a massive difference in tampering down abnormal signals from my brain. However, it’s nice to have a little bit of help either pharmaceutically or in the form of supplements so I’m always interested to see these things. I was taking magnesium for constipation but to be honest, Things have been better for me lately and maybe I can attribute that to magnesium
HAVE THE SAME THING!!! I've never met anyone who has something similar to me. I have to take Lyrica and Naltrexone. I notice exercise (finally I can move) has reduced my pain which was horrific for a year and half. I'm just finally enjoying lower pain but my athleticism has gone down by 90 percent. I use to be a skier, hiker and biker. I can't even sit yet or drive. Message me anytime. I'm Laura Stollorz Schroeder. I take B12, Vitamin D, Fish oil and Vitamin A. I'm trying to get my body back and gain weight but it's been a challenge. I'm trying to be more positive. I love Micheal Sealey for Hypnosis on UA-cam. I would like to take Magnesium Malate.
In addition to magnesium, but a bunch of silicone scar gel and apply it all over your pelvis area 2x a day. It will restore the tissue, which has had excessive calcium and other minerals accumulate in it.

@@lauraschroeder8177 To be more specific, I developed interstitial cystitis from too many UTIs when I was young. Then I was given a nerve block which unfortunately irritated my pudendal nerve and then I end up with something horrible called pudendal neuralgia. Of course you can add pelvic floor dysfunction on top of that which generally develops when you have excessive nerve pain. I was a mountain biker before all this happened, and as you can imagine, with these conditions it can be excruciating to sit on a bike seat. Some people would tell me it’s even damaging, but I have found that with the right bike set up and slow return to my favorite activities, I can ride Pretty much pain-free now. I just have to use a special saddle and I’m good. It wasn’t easy at first, you’re always gonna have a bit more pain when trying to get back into activity when you’re this sensitive. I would consider myself 80% better. I have people contacting me all the time from support groups because they can’t believe I’m sitting on a bike and doing better from some thing supposedly so incurable. I tell them I use mind-body approaches but that it’s not an overnight fix. It’s a constant maintenance.

I stumbled upon magnesium 2 yrs ago from another source. But today while I’m watching this, it’s great explanation and very true. I will not go without. Your body uses it 300 Times a second on the cellular level. It does just about everything. Much more than pain. Blood pressure, strong bones and teeth , it also makes the arteries in your heart and veins more elastic like they were when we were kids and young adults. So basically your chances of having heart disease lessons and it keeps your circulatory system in much better working condition by taking magnesium. Taking vitamin D3 not only helps with depression, pain and strong bones, it also is needed to be taken with all your other vitamins and supplements to be evenly distributed around your body. Recently came across this info, incase anyone else was not aware of this info on D3 and magnesium. So I will not take my vitamins and supplements without vitamin D3 at same time now
@My Love Is there any point in taking multi vitamins? I've bought some & they made me ill so I bought a bunch of separate vitamins including K2 to try, but they're all so huge! I have issues swallowing them all.

That was really interesting. Thanks. Just looking on Cronometer it seems very easy to get up to the daily amount and at under a 1000 calories too. I took 15g of raw cacao because it's non dutched and therefore froths very effectively in a milk frother, especially using organic, unsweetened soya milk (250ml). Two medium slices of whole wheat bread and 200g of baked beans. Milled flax seeds 10g...the sprouted type are especially good. Then sweet potato and carrots 150g each and 150g each of broccoli and cabbage. That's 965 Kcal and approx 420mg of magnesium. Incidentally that also gives well over 100% of Phosphorous, iron, manganese and copper and nearly 100% of calcium, potassium, zinc and selenium, not to mention most of the daily vitamin requirements and a great omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. In the UK that's very inexpensive food especially at those small quantities
You are a wise man!! I like Your ability to compile a list & eat those things to nourish the body. Wonderful!! Thank You & Bless You for making such a great example!
also BRILLIANT to point out IF a person ate FOOD we would not need any 'meds' to further bring imbalance, excesses & deficiencies into our bodies. That will NEVER be corrected with (spelling does not count - You know what I mean :-) ) metroprolol, omperazole, thoroxin, statins etc etc etc....
EAT FOOD! Be well!!
Unfortunately most commercially grown vegetables are lacking natural minerals due to the methods used to grow them. Soils are depleted of natural minerals and so farmers are using fertilisers to grow. As well hydroponics, where they use fertilisers and so the vegetables are lacking in many minerals usually found in organically production.
Then there's the pesticides and other chemicals used to get picture perfect uniform products on the shelves.
This is also the case with meats.
Unless you're eating organic foods and non GMO it's a loosing battle....

Thank you! I have watched many videos on magnesium for pain by different educated people but your video has explained the different types of magnesium supplements far better than most. You gave factual information, good sources of information and explained it in detail. I have CFS, Fibro Myalgia and diabetic neuropathy. I eat a fair number of the foods that you listed that have a good source of magnesium yet I still have all the signs of deficiency. I think it's due to all the medications I take. I think adding the magnesium Glycinate taken in the evening would be a good option for me. My leg pain and feet pain is far greater when trying to sleep.

Synergy is basically the theory of multiple nutrients needed to be ingested because they need to be able to work together. Taking a magnesium pill could drive down other nutrients in your body that are low already causing disease. If you are well to do or have a relative that loves to garden you would be best to grow green vegetables especially vegetables such as broccoli to get the multiple nutrients that are needed. Increasing your magnesium without maintaining proper potassium levels could be a dire problem

Thanks for your video. It gave me good information. Couples of months ago. I want to take magnesium L-threaonate for pain, anxiety, and sleep. So I asked my doctor to order my blood level of magnesium before I decide to take it. The result came back showed that my blood magnesium is within normal level. So I am now hesitated to take due to it may cause overdose. My doctor thinks it is OK to take but said I do not necessarily need it.
I had similar situation yrs ago but did research and learned physiological levels and therapeutic can be diff and My MD agreed also that there are limits to diagnostic tests. There are good studies on this. I’ve taken citrate then glycinate for many yrs and really find it helps with pain, sleep and anxiety. L-threaonate is good for brain function.
A gentle reminder that research has recently shown that “normal” levels are not optimal levels.
“ normal levels” were developed many decades ago, usually in reference to preventing a particular disease/ deficiency that was common in the first half of the last century.
Best of luck!✨

I’ve taken calcium with magnesium (called vital-mag, Shaklee brand) for years for migraines, or for muscle spasms in the back (which are quite painful, like labor pains in the back 😩), and it works real well. It’s not instant relief. It takes time to work, depending on the severity of pain. Better to take it daily, but sometimes I get bad about that. This is a safer, more natural method above over-the-counter drugs.
Also good for charlie horses in the shins.

My doctor just told me to start taking 500mg of this a day as I suffer from chronic pain from countless injuries throughout a very violent life as well as extreme anxiety and PTSD, lately I was experiencing taquacardia and bracacardia due to lowering my Clonazepam too quickly......

Me too and D3 for many yrs but still need pain meds. Finally found good physical therapist so we’ll see. I’m glad some of us found it helps. 👏

I can’t speak for them but I take 400-600mg or more per day with food divided with 200-300mg at night. I also use gel for acute spasms. Good luck.
Look into taking a form of K2 to make sure your high D3 doesn’t concentrate calcium in the wrong areas. I’d hate for you to find out the hard way.
The tea feverfew works like gabapentin.
I’ve been dealing with pain for 10 years. Lack of proper medical care from the military and injuries after my discharge. Magnesium has helped me with my pain in lumbar area as well as both of knees. I upped my game with grounding sheets, and acupuncture beeds. My condition is also made more complicated as my gout is quite aggressive. So diet is a bit more complicated. Thank you for sharing this. I also take a grain of sea salt under my tongue with water.
Great Doc. thanks for the suggestion to each chocolate. I can just eat a whole bar or maybe 5 just to be sure!
I consumed Magnesium and Calcium for my Plantar Facitis and I feel great

Hi, I just released a video about Calcium for osteoporosis. ua-cam.com/video/LpsFkaTzfYo/v-deo.htmlsi=dNxjzv62bVVLJPZN
Interesting. I have every issue you named. I learned about Central Sensitization at Mayo Clinic a few years back. I do take magnesium, but have not found it to be beneficial at all. I will check into some of these other forms to get it. Thanks for sharing!!
You are very welcome.
Hello, … there is also a form called Magnesium Threonate, which may be useful to some people. 👍
Same with me, have been on all forms for years & don’t seem to notice any real benefit except for loose stools.. 😣
I read that if your vitamin D levels are low that you can't absorb magnesium properly.
I take a supplement called Magnesium Breakthrough from a company called Bioptomizers. It contains all 7 types of magnesium.
This is my first Dr. Furlan video... I figure she must be Brazilian... she has the same accent my english speaking Brazilian family has, so I feel right at home and subscribed! Ta tudo tranquilo!
Not mentioned is MgThreonate; the only Mg to cross the blood brain barrier in significant concentration with added benefits.

Doctor, your videos are sensational, your visual board is wonderful
I've been taking Magnesium for Restless Legs Syndrome and it definitely helps.
Sometimes people find that iron can help improve restless leg syndrome.
What brand magnesium do you take
Dr. Furlan, have you done any studies on PHN and what can help those nerve ending heal?
Thank you for your comment. That is a good question/suggestion for a future video.
I started taking mg at night to help me sleep and discovered that my arthritis pain disappeared. Been taking it ever since.

Getting more sun on the skin at all times of the day helps sort this pain problem out
Funny how I clicked on this subject. I am 85 and in good hesalth. I have taken recommended vitamins as usual with the exception of Mg. After taking Mg I felt more alert and stronger. When I didn't my lethargic posture resumed. I take a triple Magnesium complex 400mg/day. A combination of Mg silicate, triglycerides and stearate.) So the label reads.
Thanks for sharing!
This is good toknow. Thank you Dr. Furlan and those making the comments. Very enlightening😊
Hi Riki. Thank you for your comment.
Magnesium also is instrumental in regulating calcium in vivo. I had prostate calcifications and an event caused a huge prostatitis flare-up and literally could not urinate until my bladder was very uncomfortably overfull. I took 1000 mlg. of magnesium, and literally within 5-10 minutes, there was noticeably marked improvement and I could urinate. Within days I was completely back to normal.
Yep, _so many conditions_ are caused by the excessive calcification of soft tissue purely because of mag deficiency. Every organ and muscle in my body calcified when my doctor put me on synthetic VitD (which is fundamentally toxic and the main cause of disease in the US) Magnesium healed all of it.
What type of magnesium did you take? What brand, and what salt, and what co-components (excipients, e.g. rice flour, celullose, etc.) are listed? Best thing is to give the brand and dose and all that information will be available somewhere. What other drugs (and supplements) were you taking at the time, and for how long has that relief been preserved?
I've only one comment.. great channel.. great dr.. always talk evidence based...and a great help for the pts and sufferes in general....May Almighty keep you healthy wealthy and wise
This is good to know. I have been taking magnesium citrate and I stopped taking it for a while before and after gallbladder surgery to give my gut a rest. Now I think I need it again and I would like to try magnesium glycinate.
Also, since my gallbladder has been removed it seems my metabolism is using food and supplemental nutrients better. My fingernails are growing for the first time in 10 years. I feel better, more energetics. I’m still tired but that could be something else. Two years ago I fell in my backyard and could not get up, without help. I fell again a few weeks ago and I got right up myself. This is a huge change.
I’d appreciate it if people would designate which magnesium they take in their comments about their own experience. They mention what kind of pain they had and where but then they just say magnesium and we don’t know which one if we have the same type of pain.
Glycinate
Magnesium glycinate
It's the best thing for runners cramp which can wake you suddenly in the middle of the night with pain in both legs! The effect of a magnesium tablet is almost instantaneous in the relief it brings!
Thank you for sharing Mark. I have many other videos about chronic pain in my channel. www.youtube.com/@DrAndreaFurlan/videos
I’m a chronic pain sufferer, I will try a Mg supplement. I get frequent cramps in one foot lately, it seems to help with that.
I have been taking Magnesium for 20 years plus originally to help me sleep better, over the years I have learned many other benefits and of course now I have learned it also helps build your immune system

How about Trigeminal Nerve Pain aka facial/mouth/gum/jaw pain and stomatitis aka burning mouth syndrome? Thank you for addressing pain relief via magnesium.
I have wondered about the best form of magnesium for pain management. Thanks much for the mag glycinate suggestion, I'll try it.
I’ll be trying that too 1 hour before bed
Have you tried it yet
Ketamine in street addicts destroyed their bladders and gave them IC. I use Ketamine and was very worried. Doctors and Pharmacists will tell you it is safe. I have cut down on my usage but want to completely get off of the drug. I will try Magnesium Malate. Movement has helped my pain.
Laura, be sure to drink lots of clean water before and after using keta, and drink lots of water the day after, don't hit the coffee the next day. I do recommend using only small amounts, microdosing and never every day, it is difficult. If you smoke, stopping will improve your pain threshold dramaically. taking cold showers/cold swims will also do a world of good for your pain, stay away from normal pain meds as they lower your pain threshold. If you arent doing yoga, give it a go for at least a month and see how it works for you. adding potassium suppliments does a world of good for me with my energy and pain relief mixed with magnesium, it is a daily basic for me. Just be sure to drink a glass of orange juice or water with lemon juice in it as to stop kidney stones. listen to your body as best as you can , and take it easy on yourself. Blessings

I started taking Magnesium Taurate by the recommendation of York Cardiology for irregular heart rhythms. It helped my heart and I also realized it made me sleep so well when taken at night and also my back pain went away.

And it's awesome for osteoporosis when calcium magnesium ratio is off balance and particularly with high stress and trauma.
I have fibromyalgia. I am 52 and in pain for more than 30 years. I didn't know this much about magnesium. I once used magnesium salts but the taste is terrible i then discontinued using it. Im so happy today that i came across this video. Hoping to come back with positive testimony.
I am so glad I found you Dr Andrea, Looking forward to watch your healings. Bravo and thank you
Thank you so much!
Hello ! When addressing a female, you would use the word Brava, instead of Bravo. 👍
I take magnesium tartrate which was prescribed by my doctor because of my chronic diarrhea. I have migraine and many other body pain issues. I also use a magnesium spray on my legs and feet for cramps which works if you put enough on. I take my magnesium in night shortly before I go to bed to help me sleep also.
Maybe I’ll try this form, nothing has helped with my body pain & all I get is... 🚽🧻
Thank you Dr Furlan! A very interesting and comprehensive look at Magnesium and it’s applications.
Dr. Andrea is there a similar medicine compared to magnesium ? I'm asking that because of the reaction of the medicine in the intestine as I usually have problems with diarrhea, I'm certain I cannot take it. Thk you.
Thank you for giving this valuable information I am also interested to know how magnesium can affect hypertension.
You are most welcome
Mag is the most important factor in hypertension. Mag deficiency makes excess minerals (mainly calcium) accumulate in soft tissue, which restricts blood flow between different areas and directly causes hypertension. Cholesterol is 100% meaningless. Hypertension and heart disease are all about mag deficiency.
Thank you so much for explaining all in depth ...thumbs up !
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your clear information. Perhaps i also need magnesium for my aching bottocks
No mention of Mg(OH)2? Inexpensive antacid. How well is that absorbed? Does it work for migraine? Is the laxative effect habituating?
I take only 1 tablet Magnesium oxide 167 mg in the evening to find myself relieved of severe leg foot-cramps, sound sleep
I have to say how crazy it was to hear you talk about migraine. After a lifetime of trial and error. I do everything you talk about and raised my kids on the same diet. This is SO important.Tons of nuts ,avocados , ect... We avoid anything processed or with a ton of preservatives. Do we cheat. Yes but that can hurt. . Lol. I also have been taking baths in the salts for decades when it’s bad. A good rare steak seems to help also. My question is in reference to insomnia. I had it BAD. I could go days without sleep to the point of hallucinations. 5 days was the longest. Worked my regular schedules , kids , baths ect.... I wasent just laying around. I had no idea how to explain this to my dr without sounding insane. This we,t on for about 10 years. I learned a trick to tell what was real and if it was just in my head. The fix. Gabapentin. Have no idea why but it works. I have a failing ACDF at C4 /C 5. And instead of pain meds he prescribed gabapentin. I’m taking 1200 mg a day. I have been on same dose for almost 2 years and I sleep like a normal person. Every night around 6 hrs a night. For me. That is AMAZING . Do you have any idea why this works a,d what is causing it ?
Hormones, especially for females can cause sleep issues. Might get that checked. Also a sleep study wouldn't hurt. I've also used gabapentin after a bad car accident for my legs due to severed nerves. It helps and with sleep, but unfortunately for me, it makes me depressed if I take it everyday.
The tea feverfew works like gabapentin. Hope this helps. Bless you.
I took gabapentin for about 11 weeks 3x a day for they thought it would help my fibromyalgia pain.... It helped NOTHING and I didn't like the way it made me feel! More importantly I basically quit taking my magnesium because it had to be separated out from the medicine! And so now I'm playing catch up to replace my magnesium! Rheumatologist appointment tomorrow , blood work and see where all my levels are .... I've decided NO STEROID SHOT TOMORROW EITHER!
