This is the Home Page of Dr. Jean Durlach, donated as a public service by Paul Mason. Dr. Durlach is one of the world's foremost magnesium researchers and reviewers. For an overview of magnesium, Dr. Durlach suggests you read his monograph: Magnesium in clinical practice. John Libbey, London 1988, 360 pp. There three excerpts available here:
