Studies Which Show Magnesium Ineffective in Asthma

In published studies showing that magnesium does not play a role in treatment of bronchial asthma, once again it has been shown that insufficient dosages of this nutrient were used, with the result that the serum levels found effective in the treatment of preeclampsia and eclampsia were not achieved.⁹⁶

Another criticism leveled at the negative efficacy reports was that the study group was too small for significance; this was countered by pointing out that analysis of results from the first 40 patients indicated withholding magnesium from comparably compromised patients would be unethical, so the study was ended and the results were reported.⁹⁷
