IV Magnesium and COPD

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the top 5 killers in the United States. It includes asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory conditions. New research has found that when magnesium is administered intravenously, it significantly improves the respiratory function of individuals with COPD.

IV magnesium is one of many nutritional therapies used daily at Nature Cures Clinic. This latest research shows that, when given to individuals with COPD, there is greater strength in the muscles involved with respiration. In addition, in individuals whose lungs are over-inflated, as happens with emphysema and other conditions, IV magnesium acted decrease the degree of over-inflation.

In addition to improving COPD, magnesium is well-document to help with blood sugar control, lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular, improve sleep, reduce pain and other important functions. At Nature Cures Clinic we combine IV magnesium with many other synergistic nutrients.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with a COPD, IV magnesium might be an appropriate nutritional therapy. Email info@naturecuresclinic.com or call us at 503-287-4970 to set up an appointment with one of our naturopathic physicians.
