Everyone is different though and Hey its worth a shot.

Anybody have any positive results with Magnesium?
My husband Gary is almost 3 weeks post surgery, and in a rehab institution now. I took in his regular supplements (vitamins and minerals, including Magnesium) for him, but the pharmacist nixxed the magnesium, saying it has a laxative effect and would complicate the bowel program he is on.
So he can't use Magnesium for now. But I'm interested if anyone found it helped at all.

	2 surgeries--1st 1996, guy couldn't find it. 2nd was Jallo, in 2004; he got it all, C2-C4; probably astrocytoma; but also got a nasty staph infection, requiring another surgery. Holding my own.
