Why magnesium is important - if you have this problem, do read this page!! Soo helpful!
Beware multivitamins and some 'enriched' foods!

"Another interesting point to note is that the magnesium deficiency - sensitive hearing link may be true for animals as well as humans." - Magnesium seemed to have helped even their guinea pig! Our budgie would sure use it!!
"We thought changing his diet from pet store food to a more natural diet higher in magnesium might help him. So we took him off the guinea pig food from the store and fed him a diet a fresh clover and grass from the backyard as well as a wide assortment of organic fruit and veggies from the local health food store. Our hunch was right. His hearing seems to have become much less sensitive these days."
Apparently the anxiety & depression decreased with the new magnesium-rich diet too!!

Some of the statements she makes are pretty radical and I'm not sure I could adapt to her diet (red meat, little diary/milk, little wholewheat grain - apparently to her they cause facial hair!) - but it was a matter of experimenting anyway, and well, so far no need to, as things haven't been so radical yet. I know I'm happier and more energized when I eat meat, but sure the animals aren't!! So finding something else would be great!
And even asthma has been linked to deficiency of magnesium!
