Hi Jeanne,

I'm quoting for you here from the www.ithyroid.com site, page --

>> http://www.ithyroid.com/symptoms.htm <<--.

" Hyperthyroidism is a very serious situation and life threatening.

People die every day of it. If you are having thyroid storms, you

need to get to a doctor as soon as possible. You are in real trouble

and could die of a heart attack. If it is an emergency and you

cannot get to a doctor or secure proper medication, take calcium and

magnesium in a 1:1 ratio (take extra magnesium if necessary), or take

only magnesium if no calcium is available. You may need to take 6-12

capsules to control a thyroid storm. Also read the foods not to take

as these can precipitate a thyroid storm. "

He talks about magnesium in several different pages, in terms of how

it helps to calm your heart, and recommends that you always have some

handy. I'd add that for extra quick absorption, I would go with a

liquid, or barring this, a capsule, over tablets.

Good Luck with that, and let us know how you're doing.

Peace,

Sunny
