Back in 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, M.D., was
looking for a solution to cleanse wounds, because he had found out
that the traditional antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and
facilitated the infection instead of preventing it.

He tested several mineral solutions and discovered that a
Magnesium Chloride solution was not only harmless for tissues, but
it had also a great effect over leucocytic activity and phagocytosis;
so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.
Dr. Delbet performed a lot of “in vitro” [in test tube] and “in
vivo” [in life] experiments with this solution and he became aware
that it was good not only for external applications, but it was also a
powerful immuno-stimulant if taken by injections or even by
mouth. He called this effect “cytophilaxis.” In some “in vivo”
experiments it was able to increase phagocytosis rate up to 300%.
Dr. Delbet serendipitously discovered that this oral solution
had also a tonic effect in many people and so became aware that the
Magnesium Chloride had an effect on the whole organism.
In a brief time, he received communications of very good
therapeutic effects of this “therapy” from people that were taking
Magnesium Chloride for its tonic properties and who were suffering
from various ailments. Prof. Delbet began to closely study the
subject and verified that the Magnesium Chloride solution was a
very good therapy for a long list of diseases.
He obtained very good results in: colitis, angiocholitis, cholecystitis,
in the digestive apparatus; Parkinson’s Disease, senile
tremors and muscular cramps, in the nervous system, acne, eczema,
psoriasis, warts, itch of various origins and chilblains, in the skin.
There was a strengthening of hair and nails, a good effect on diseases
typical of the aged (impotency, prostatic hypertrophy, cerebral and
circulatory troubles) and on diseases of allergic orgin (hay-fever,
asthma, urticaria, and anaphylactic reactions).
Then Prof. Delbet began to investigate the relationship between
Magnesium and cancer. After a lot of clinical and experimental
studies, he found that Magnesium Chloride had a very good
effect on prevention of cancer and that it was able to cure several
precancerous conditions: leucoplasia, hyperkeratosis, chronic mastitis,
etc.
Epidemiological studies confirmed Delbet’s views and demonstrated
that the regions of soil with richer incidence of magnesium
had less cancer, and vice versa.
In experimental studies, the Magnesium Chloride solution was
also able to slow down the course of cancer in laboratory animals.
Prof. Delbert wrote two books, Politique Preventive du Cancer
(1944) and L’Agriculture et la Sante’ (1945), in which he stated
his ideas about cancer prevention and a better living. The first is a
well documented report of all his studies on Magnesium Chloride.
In 1943 another French doctor, Dr. A. Neveu, M.D., used the
Magnesium solution in a case of diptheria to reduce the risks of
anaphylactic reaction due to the anti-diptheric serum that he was
ready to administer. To his great surprise, when the next day the
laboratory results confirmed the diagnosis of diptheria, the little girl
was completely cured, before he could use the serum.
He credited the immuno-stimulant activity to the solution for
this result, and he tested it in some other patients. All the patients
were cured in a very short time (24-48 hours), with no after-effects.
Dr. Neveu then began to treat some cases of poliomyelitis, and
had the same wonderful results. He was very excited and tried to
divulge the therapy, but he ran into a wall of hostility and obstructionism
from “official medicine.” Neither Neveu or Delbet (who
was a member of the Academy of Medicine) was able to diffuse
Neveu’s extraordinary results. The opposition was total: professors
of Medicine, Medical peer-reviews, the Academy itself, all were
against the two doctors. “Official medicine” saw in Magnesium
Chloride therapy a threat to its new and growing business –
vaccinations.
Dr. Neveu wasn’t discouraged by this and continued to test this
therapy in a wide range of diseases. He obtained very good results
in: pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hoarseness, common cold, influenza,
asthma, bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary emphysema,
“children diseases” (whooping-cough, measles, rubella, mumps,
scarlet fever . . . ), alimentary and professional poisonings, gastroenteritis,
boils, abscesses, erysipelas, whitlow, septic pricks
(wounds), puerperal fever and osteomyelitis.
But the indications for Magnesium Chloride therapy don’t end
here. In more recent years other physicians (and I among these) have
verified many of Delbet’s and Neveu’s applications and have tried
the therapy in other pathologies: asthmatic acute attack, shock,
tetanus (for these the Magnesium Chloride is administered by
intravenous injection); herpes zoster, acute and chronic conjunctivitis,
optic neuritis, rheumatic diseases, many allergic diseases,
spring-asthenia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, (even in cancer it
can be an useful coadjuvant.)
The preceding lists of ailments are by no means exhaustive;
maybe other illnesses can be treated with this therapy, but, as this is
a relatively “young” treatment, we are pioneers, and we need the
