I understand that magnesium is hydrophylic to the colon and thus pulls water 
out of the urinary tract and thus is not recommended in high doses for people 
with kidney disease.  Can anyone explain, then why it is used for kidney 
stones? It would seem to lower the amount of water in the urinary tract and 
thus contribute to the stones.
Thanks.

  I would be very curious to know if all those things that clear kidney stones 
aren't unusually high in Magnesium.  Enough magnesium to match the calcium 
should do the trick.  Also Vit B6 reduces oxylytic acid, which otherwise 
combines with calcium to produce calcium oxalate, which is present in stones 
usually.
