Magnesium Preparations in Psychiatry, Addiction Medicine, Neurology and General Medicine (Part I. History)

The use of magnesium preparations in medicine has a long history. According to some sources, first attempts by humans to consume magnesium- and calcium-rich minerals orally, presumably for medicinal purposes, could have occurred even in prehistoric times. First attempts to use natural magnesium-calc...
