I think therapeutic dosing as in high doses for a "treatment" would be not good for MGers. High dose treatment is used as you describe, also IV for migraine, and for hypertension eclampsia of pregnancy. In fact I believe the eclampsia paper is easily retrievable on PubMed.

However MGers should have the daily RDA of magnesium for general health. Without you can develop heart arrhythmias, and
many other problems. Magnesium is used in many biochemical maintenance functions in the body.

In other words, some to maintain yourself --ideally from food which is slower onset than supplements. And not massive therapeutic doses. It is a fine line to walk and maintain.
