Magnesium is important to lower cholesterol and maintain the peripheral clearance to toxic amyloid beta. Active lifestyles with exercise reduce magnesium levels with increase risk for Type 3 diabetes. Diets with magnesium supplementation may be important to increase fat metabolism in diabetes.
I agree that magnesium (chelated, ionically charged magnesium, not inert, free magnesium) is a major contributor to both of these and other chronic conditions. We find pancreatitis closely related to magnesium deficiency, as well. Besides magnesium obtained in foods, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy seems the most efficient bioavailable method of transfer if skin sensitivity issues do not interfere. In other cases, chelated magnesium combined with MCHC (organic bone meal delivered enterically) appears to be the best choice for oral forms of magnesium with the other nutrients needed for good bone health.
Magnesium is relevant to vascular dementia. Magnesium reduces fibrin formation, and increases its breakdown, slows thrombin formation, reduces platelet clumping, inhibits vascular muscle contraction, helps maintain prostacyclin levels and maintains production of thromboxane A2 and B2.
Magnesium is involved in activation of vitamin B6, which removes homocysteine, which can damage arteries.
Excessive calcium intake causes magnesium deficiency, because calcium and magnesium share an absorption pathway in the gut.
I suggest magnesium 100mg as glycinate three times a day, and putting 1 cup of magnesium sulphate in the bath 1 day in 3, remaining in the bath at least 20 minutes.
Many drugs deplete magnesium, including commonly used drugs like corticosteroids, antibiotics, thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics and Ventolin.
Magnesium is needed for glucose homeostasis, and protects against complications of diabetes.
low blood and brain levels of magnesium have been reported in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and some evidence from preclinical animal model studies suggests that magnesium may disrupt some Alzheimer’s disease pathways
