[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 72886, member: 47"] My SO has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - with an ER visit every three to four weeks regular as clockwork for the longest time, and intibated each time which did not help his lungs or his throat. One time the breathing treatments were not working, and the doctor, in a last ditch effort, gave him a shot of magnesium - I tell you within two minutes you would never had known he had an attack or trouble breathing. I asked the doctor if he would give us a rx, and he said yes, but just go to the health food store and buy some pills off the shelf - same thing. Since he has been taking them, maybe once in the past year he has been to the ER - it has been a major help with his breathing. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant - usually used on women in labor -but our county is actually trialing it now for use for heart attack patients - It may be worth asking your doctor if you can add as a vitamin supplement. Plus he has a lot more energy now since he isn't laboring to breath as much. Marcie [/QUOTE]
