CALCIUM & SCIENCE

Since there are thousands of scientific publications on biological calcium, thousands of more quotes could be given supporting the crucial role of calcium in human health. However, in the few quotes listed below, you will read statements (by the most prestigious scientists in America) that will explain how calcium is responsible for cell division and cell growth as well as statements agreeing that calcium deficiency plays a key role in all degenerative diseases.
In the article below, written by the The New York Times, you will read just a few of the critical functions that Calcium performs. These include:

* Strong Teeth & Bones
To prevent Periodontal Disease & Osteoporosis.

* Regualtion of Heart Beat & Muscle Movement
Prevention of Heart Disease & Musculatory System Failure.

* Feeding Nutrients to cells
Getting Nutrition inside our Cells.

* DNA Replication
Which leads to Low Body Repair & Premature Aging.


This article states, the most important function that Calcium provides is that it controls the pH of the Body. If you don't know what body pH is, you are not alone. However, if The New York Times thinks that controlling the bodys' pH is more important than all of the Functions we have just described, then you need to know what body pH is. You also need to know how Calcium regulates the body's pH against the ravages of Acidosis which is the real cause of Degenerative Disease.







New York Times
"Calcium Takes Its Place As a Superstar of Nutrients"
October 13, 1998

"It is the primary building block of our teeth and bones. It provides the electrical energy for the heart to beat and for all muscle movement. It is the calcium ion that is responsible for feeding every cell. Without calcium, DNA cannot replicate itself. As a result, low calcium means low body repair and premature aging. But, most important of all, calcium controls the pH of the body."







"How a Mineral Can Vitalize Your Health", by Dr. James
K. Van Fleet, in the book Magic of Catalytic Health Vitalizers, 1980, Parker Publishing.


"According to nutritional authorities, the American diet is more lacking in calcium than in any other essential food. Dr. Henry C. Sherman, the noted biochemist, has stated in effect that the prime period of human life could be extended by a moderate increase in calcium in the diet. It would also be wise to get at least 400 units of vitamin-D daily to insure proper absorption of the calcium from the tract into the body where it can be utilized. "

" When the body does not get enough calcium, it will withdraw what little calcium it has from the bones to make sure there is enough in the bloodstream, then the body does its best to bolster the sagging architecture by building bony deposits and spurs to reduce movement and limit activity. "





"Breathing Easy", by Lendon Smith, M.D., in the book
Feed Your Kids Right, Dell Pub. Co. Inc., 1979.


"Calcium is required all our lives for bones, teeth, muscle, nerve function, and for blood clotting. Muscle pains, cramps, twitches and even convulsions may suggest calcium deficiency. " "For asthma, 1000 milligrams of calcium should be given daily along with 1000 units of vitamin-D for intestinal absorption. Calcium can relax the muscle surrounding the bronchial tubes while altering the permeability of the cell walls, allowing the nutrients to get in. "







The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer", Otto Warburg, Lecture at the meeting of Nobel Laureates, June 30, 1966 Director, Max Planck Institute for Cell Physiology Berlin.

"There is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention of cancer. But how long prevention will be avoided depends on how long the prophets of agnosticism will succeed in inhibiting the application of scientific knowledge in the field of cancer. In the meantime millions of men and women must die of cancer unnecessarily. " (Note: in 1966 cancer struck 23% of Americans, whereas today it strikes 39% of Americans).





"The Role of Calcium in Biological Systems", Volume I,
1985, CRC Press Inc.


The Role of Calcium Biological Systems is a compilation of dozens of scientific publications by academically recognized scientists. This book deserves particular note because world class scientists are concluding that there is a link between calcium deficiency and cancer. Also, the hundreds of scientific references contained in this book, as well as the other books quoted, could lead the reader to thousands of scientific publications on the importance of biochemical calcium. Although the first quote is self-explanatory, the second quote may be difficult for the reader to understand. Basically, it says that calcium deficiency in the body fluids outside and inside of the cell stimulates the proliferation of both virus and cell mutation (cancer) by regulating DNA synthesis. Furthermore it concludes that calcium deficiency is the universal property of all cancer cells, the knowledge of which may be the key to understanding cancer.


"Calcium must certainly be the major bioelement of the times. Only a generation ago the calcium ion was known to physiologists and biochemists as a component of bone mineral and as a blood plasma constituent required in heart function and blood coagulation, but little more. But, in the 1970's a crescendo of calcium ion research developed. Today we know dozens if not hundreds of different cellular and extracellular processes that are regulated by the changes in cytosolic or extracellular calcium ions. Indeed the calcium ion is emerging as a most important and ubiquitous intracellular messenger" (Forward, Albert Lehniger, Professor of Medical Science, John Hopkins University).


"As we have seen, calcium is central to the ordered progression of replicating cells through their growth-division cycle. Neoplastic epithelia and mesenchymally derived cells can initiate DNA syntheses and proliferate normally in a low calcium medium, which does not support the proliferation of their normal counterparts. Besides needing calcium ions, normal cells must adequately spread out on a solid substrate before they are able to initiate DNA syntheses. Calcium is specifically required for spreading. Lowering the extracellular calcium and preventing spreading both block the initiation of DNA synthesis, without stopping on-going DNA synthesis. The elimination of extra- cellular calcium requirement for proliferation of viruses can be mimicked by exposing proliferatively inactive calcium-deprived normal cells to calcium-independent-nucleotide protein kinases located in the plasma membrane. Thus, addition of such subunits to the medium of normal cells cause them to behave like neoplastic cells by initiating DNA syntheses in calcium deficient medium. It is clear that the proliferative calcium independence in vitro is a universal property of neoplastic cells, the understanding of which may be the key to understanding cancer." (page 158, Volume #1)





"Calcium in the Action of Growth Factors", by W.H. Moolenaar, L.K. Defize, and s. W. Delaat, 1986 Calcium and the Cell, 1986, Wiley.

"Proliferation of cells in vivo is regulated by polypeptide growth factors. Binding of growth factors to their specific cell-surface receptors initiates a cascade of biochemical events in the cell which ultimately leads to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and cell division. The immediate consequence of receptor activation include a sustained increase in cytoplasmic pH and a transient rise in cytoplasmic free calcium ions. The platelet derived growth factor induced calcium ion signal is due to calcium ion release from intracellular stores, whereas the epidermal growth factor seems to activate voltage independent calcium channel in the plasma membrane. These results suggest that the rise in calcium ions is indispensable for cell proliferation. "







"Calcium and Cell Function", Volume VII, Wai Yui
Cheung, 1987 Academic Press Inc.

"The regulation of mitosis and cell division is one of the fundamental questions of cell biology. Calcium has been implicated as a regulatory factor in both. "







"History of Calcium-Binding Proteins", in the book
Calcium Binding Proteins, by Marvin P. Thompson, CRC Press 1988.

"Calcium has been recognized as a major regulatory ion in all living organisms ." "Considering the wide variety of calcium binding proteins in the cell, the potential targets of calcium-related disorders are enormous. " "General interest in calcium binding proteins is still in the logarithmic phase with daily discoveries of these proteins.







"Intracellular Calcium Regulation", Felix Bronner, 1990, Wiley.

"One of the astonishing developments in biological research is the recent widespread interest in the role played by calcium in cellular metabolism." " Intracellular calcium regulation will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the areas of biochemistry, biophysics, cell rheology and nutrition. "







"The Calcium Connection", Dr. Cedric Garland and Dr.
Frank Garland, 1989, Foreside, Simon and Shuster Inc.

"Low cancer areas were far more frequent in the sun belt. (This statement is contrary to the incorrect popular belief that sunshine causes cancer). What was the significance of sunlight with regard to cancer rates? Sunlight reacts with cholesterol inside and on the surface of the skin to create vitamin-D. Vitamin-D helps the body absorb calcium and plays a major role in the body's ability to use the calcium that is available. "







" The Calcium Signal", Scientific American, November 1987, by
Emesto Carafoli and John T. Penniston:

"A common trigger precipitates biological events as diverse as the contraction of a muscle and the secretion of a hormone. The trigger is a minute flux of calcium ions. "


"To control cellular process effectively, calcium itself must be regulated. Knowledge of these intricacies (elaborate system of proteins that interact with the calcium ion regulating intracellular messages) may lead to greater clinical control over intracellular calcium, a possibility that has broad implications for the treatment of disease. "







"Calcium Homeostasis: Hypercalcemia and Hypo-
calcemia", 1986, Gregory R. Mundy, Professor and Head, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, University of Texas.

"A number of important metabolic processes are influenced by small changes in extracellular ionized calcium concentration. These include,' (a) the excitability of nerve function and neural transmission, (b) the secretion by cells of proteins and hormones,
and other mediators such as neurotransmitters, (c) the coupling of cell excitation with cell response (for example, contraction in the case of muscle cells and secretion in the case of secretory cells), (d) cell proliferation, (e) blood coagulation, by acting as a co-
factor for the essential enzymes involved in the clotting cascade; (I) maintenance of the stability and permeability of cell members, (g) modulation of activity, in particular those enzymes involved in glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and protein kinases which are calcium dependent; and (h) the mineralization of newly formed bone."







"Calcium in Synaptic Transmission", by Rodolfo R.,
Scientific American, October 1982.

"The connection between the electrical activity of the cell and the release of the neurotransmitter is not direct; an essential intermediary is the calcium ion. "







"Treatment of Vertebral Osteoporosis", by Dr. Meunier
in the book Molecular and Cellular Regulation of Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism, 1990 Alan R. Liss Inc.

"When calcium and vitamin-D is given in daily doses along with moderate amounts of sodium fluoride to patients with osteoporosis, there is a substantial increase in bone mass and a significant reduction in the incidence of further vertebral fractures. "

Can Calcium Affect Cancer Cells?


In 1932 Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery that cancer was anaerobic: cancer occurs in the absence of free oxygen As innocuous as this discovery might seem, it is actually a startling and significant finding worthy of a Nobel Prize. What it basically means is that cancer is caused by a lack of free oxygen in the body and therefore, whatever causes this to occur is the cause of all cancers.

In chemistry, alkali solutions (pH over 7.0) tend to absorb oxygen, while acids (pH under 7.0) tend to expel oxygen. For example, a mild alkali can absorb over 100 times as much oxygen as a mild acid. Therefore, when the body becomes acidic by dropping below pH 7.0 (note: all body fluids, except for stomach and urine, are supposed to be mildly alkaline at pH 7.4), oxygen is driven out of the body thereby, according to Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg, inducing cancer. Stomach fluids must remain acidic to digest food and urine must remain acidic to remove wastes from the body. Blood is the exception. Blood must always remain at an alkaline pH 7.4 so that it can retain its oxygen. When adequate mineral consumption is in the diet, the blood is supplied the crucial minerals required to maintain an alkaline pH of 7.4. However when insufficient mineral consumption is in the diet, the body is forced to rob Peter (other body fluids) to pay Paul (the blood). In doing so, it removes crucial minerals, such as calcium, from the saliva, spinal fluids, kidneys, liver, etc., in order to maintain the blood at pH 7.4. This causes the demineralized fluids and organs to become acidic and therefore anaerobic, thus inducing not only cancer, but a host of other degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, lupus, etc..

Everyone knows that the human body is made up of 78% water by weight, and that water is hydrogen and oxygen gases. When nitrogen gas and carbon in the form of carbon dioxide and methane gases are added, the total gas in the body by weight becomes over 95%. Almost half of the remaining 5% that makes up the human body and controls all biological functions is the mineral calcium.

No other mineral is capable of performing as many biological functions as is calcium. Calcium is involved in almost every biological function. This amazing mineral provides the electrical energy for the heart to beat and for all muscle movement. It is the calcium ion that is responsible for feeding every cell. It does this by latching on to seven nutrient molecules and one water molecule and pulls them through the nutrient channel. It then detaches its load and returns to repeat the process. Another important biological job for calcium is DNA replication, which is crucial for maintaining youth and a healthy body. DNA replication is the basis for all body repair and can only occur “on a substrate of calcium”. Thus, low calcium means low body repair and premature aging. As important as all these and hundreds of other biological functions of calcium are to human health, none is more important than the job of pH control. Calcium to acid, is like water to a fire. Calcium quickly destroys oxygen robbing acid in the body fluids. Thus, the more calcium, the more oxygen, and therefore, the less cancer and other degenerative disease.

This information then begs the question, “How much calcium is necessary ?” The answer can readily be determined by examining the diet of millions of people around the world who consume over 100 times our Recommended Daily Allowance, RDA, and who suffer the side effects of living 40 years longer than we do, of aging at half the rate that we do, and of being devoid of cancer, heart disease, mental disorders, diabetes, arthritis and all other degenerative diseases. Almost all of these people, the Armenians, Azerbaijans and Georgians in Russian, the Tibetans, the Hunzas of Northern Pakistan, the Vilcabamba Indians in Ecuador, the Bamas in China and the Titicacas in Peru live at high altitudes above 8000 feet. Their only source of water is melting glaciers, and the glacial water is so turbid and white with ground up rock that all of these cultures call the water “milk of the mountains”. Each quart of this water contains over 17,000 milligrams of calcium along with other minerals and 60 trace metals. These cultures drink several quarts each day and the water fertilized crops are also loaded with calcium and other nutrients. The only long living and disease free culture that does not live above an altitude of 8000 feet, is the Okinawan’s.

Millions of Okinawans live in the southern coral islands of Japan with the average life expectancy of 105 years, while mainland Japan is just 77 years. The Okinawans live on islands made of coral reefs which are mainly calcium. The Okinawans discovered over 500 years ago that feeding coral sand that is produced from the weathering of the reefs to the chickens and cows results in twice as many eggs and twice as much milk. They also found that when the coral sand is used as a fertilizer, crops increase by as much as three fold. When they finally, 500 years ago, began to consume the coral sand themselves, all of the under utilized doctors were forced to leave the islands. This was known in Japanese history as the Japanese Exodus.

The early European explorers discovered their secret and hauled shiploads of the calcium rich coral sands back to Europe. In Madrid Spain, the historic monument of the world’s first drugstore contains rows of shelves labeled “coral calcium from Okinawa Japan”. Today millions of people all over the world consume coral calcium, and as a result, there are millions of medical testimonials.

The phenomenon of preventing and reversing degenerative disease through the consumption of large amounts of mineral and vitamins did not go un-noticed by men of medicine. Hundreds of years ago European doctors were prescribing coral calcium and other nutrients to their patients.

In the 1950s, Dr. Carl Reich M.D. discovered that his patients were able to “cure themselves” of almost all degenerative diseases by consuming several times the RDA of calcium, magnesium, vitamin-D and other nutrients. Dr. Reich was the first North American doctor to prescribe “mega doses” of minerals and vitamins to his patients and is considered by many to be the father of preventive medicine. By the 1980s Dr. Reich had cured thousands, but lost his license for explaining that the consumption of mineral nutrients, such as calcium, could prevent cancer and a host of other diseases. This concept was considered “too simple” to accept by the medical wisdom of the day. However, by the late 1990s, other medical men of wisdom were also discovering that calcium supplements could indeed reverse cancer.

In the October 13, 1998 issue of the New York Times wrote an article appeared entitled “Calcium Takes Its Place As a Superstar of Nutrients” in which it reports that a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that “increasing calcium induced normal development of the epithelia cells and might also prevent cancer in such organs as the breast, prostate and pancreas”. It also reported that the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published “virtually no major organ system escapes calcium’s influence” and that a research team from the University of Southern California found “adding calcium to the diet lowered the blood pressure in 110 black teenagers”

The January 14, 1999 issue of the Phoenix Republic wrote an article about cancer entitled “Calcium Reduces Tumors” that the New England Journal of Medicine reported “adding calcium to the diet can keep you from getting tumors in your large intestine”. Then the February, 1999 issue of the Readers Digest wrote in an article entitled “The ‘Superstar’ Nutrient” that the Journal of the American Medical published “when the participants consumption reached 1500 milligrams of calcium a day, cell growth in the colon improved toward normal (this means that the cancer was reversed)”. The Digest also reported that the Metabolic Bone Center at St. Lukes Hospital believes that “a chronic deficiency of calcium is largely responsible for premenstrual syndrome (PMS)” and that “a lot of women are avoiding the sun and their vitamin-D levels may be very low”. In the same article, the Digest reported that “in 1997 the large federally financed trial found that a diet containing 1200 milligrams of calcium significantly lowered blood pressure in adults”. Then the May 3, 1999 edition of US World News Report wrote in an article entitled “Calcium’s Powerful Mysterious Ways”, that, “Researchers are increasingly finding that the humble mineral calcium plays a major role in warding off major illnesses from high blood pressure to colon cancer” and that “You name the disease, and calcium is beginning to have a place there” (David McCarron, a nephrologist at Oregon Health Sciences University). Unfortunately, most doctors have not heard the news that their own journals and major newspapers and magazines are reporting that natural supplements, especially calcium, can cure and prevent disease.

The scientific evidence that calcium is the key to good and long health is overwhelming. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to read simple articles in reputable newspapers, magazines and the doctor’s own journals that are all saying that disease can be cured by diet. Also one can simply look at the millions of people around the world that never get sick and say, “We also want to drink some milk of the mountains”. Unfortunately, all of the milk of the mountains is consumed as fast as it is produced. However, the Japanese could cure the world with their “milk of the oceans” known as coral calcium minerals, the calcium factor of good health.

The most frequent question asked the author is, “What do you do?” The response always begins with, “I have not taken a pill in over 30 years.” Psychologically, taking pills is synonymous with taking drugs. Also, many people have difficulty swallowing pills. For most, many of the pills remain intact as they pass through the intestine undigested. The obvious solution is to do what the author does. First, the author puts all of the non-liquid nutrient pills and capsules into a blender to make a pulverized blend. He then uses a flour sifter to remove the broken up oversized capsule containers. The author takes 24 pills and capsules each day, and he has found that when pulverized, the blend fills a heaping teaspoon. Thus the author pulverizes a three-month portion and puts it into a large bottle labeled “Hunza Powder”, and then takes a heaping spoonful each day. Secondly, the nutrient blend should be taken at meal times, as for the elderly; this is the only time that they have sufficient acid in their stomachs to digest food. Thirdly, one glass of milk or one glass of apple juice should be taken with each meal so that the lactates or malates will keep the digested nutrients ionized even as they pass through the alkali duodenum, thereby allowing for greater absorption. Also, the consumption of fruits and vegetables with meals provides anions which enhance the absorption of nutrients.

The second most frequent question asked is, “Which are the 24 pills that you take?” The answer is 3 coral calcium (1.5 grams), 2 vitamin-D (5000 IU each), 6 multivitamins (one-a-day), 6 multi-minerals (containing 60 trace minerals), 3 calcium (citrate), 1 magnesium citrate, 2 vitamin-C (60 mg each), 1 vitamin-E (500mg), and 10 milligrams cesium chloride. The result is Hunza Powder. The author takes a heaping teaspoon each day, usually mixed in a fruit slush or a banana shake

Robert Barefoot, is the author of the books The Calcium Factor and Death By Diet. These books are in their sixth edition, have been translated into several languages and are used by many in the nutrition industry as “ the bibles of nutrition”. These books take scientific knowledge provided by some of the world’s most renown scientists and tie it together into one cohesive scientific argument that demonstrates that nutritional deficiency is not only the cause of disease, but that by correcting the deficiency, disease can not only be prevented , but also cured.

Coral Calcium Provides Many Benefits


May help to Cleanse the Kidneys, Intestines and Liver while breaking down heavy metals and drug residues in the body. It balances the pH level of water which strengthens and revitalizes cells and tissue, while helping to prevent the risk of degenerative diseases. Achieve an Alkaline Balance, Neutralizing Acidity Level Increase Muscle and Joint Mobility Combat Arthritic conditions, Heart Disease and Digestive Problems Helps sports injuries, headaches, high or low blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcers, indigestion, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, gastroenteritis, hiatal hernia and cataracts.. Boosts the immune system, gives an incredible feeling of well being, and increases longevity.




The quality of drinking water which has surface water as its source is steadily deteriorating because of pollutants and acid rain. Even ground water is becoming acidic. At a pH of 6 crabs die, salmon die at 4, and all fish die at 3.Poor quality water may have been acidified by bacteria, algae, chloroform (from chlorination), nitrates and not least dangerous heavy metals, for example cadmium and aluminum. These pollutants may come from factory discharges, agriculture, sewer pipes, water mains and acid rain.

The environment of fluids in which your cells reside is known as your biological terrain. The following are four characteristics of your biological terrain: pH refers to the "potential of Hydrogen" and its activity level in fluids. Many people today have an overly acidic pH due to drinking colas, improper food combinations, consumption of processed foods, stress and pollution. Coral Calcium raises the alkalinity of the extra cellular fluid that surrounds your cells. An alkaline, versus acidic, environment is believed to be one of the major deterrents to tissue damage, aging and the growth of disease organisms. When your body consists of a more neutral to alkaline environment, the body can then use its amazing God given ability to heal itself naturally.

Coral Calcium keeps your pH level of your body fluids in sync so your body can fight disease naturally, the way it was meant to.

Okinawa Coral Calcium

Would you like to live as long and healthy as the worlds' oldest living man?
An incredible health secret is revealed here.

Do you have enough calcium in your diet? The body's best building block is now in its easiest to assimilate form! Coral calcium can give your water a perfect pH balance while supplying the basic ingredient for the rejuvenation of your body. Defy arthritis, osteoporosis, fatigue, insomnia, nerves, and lack of mobility.

You have probably heard of many of the benefits of taking calcium, but like me have wondered what kind of calcium is best or usable by your body. Here is some information that can change your life and certainly your health.

You may also have heard about the worlds oldest living person. His name was Shigechiyo Izumi, interviewed at a sprightly 115 by a journalist from the Guinness Book of Records on an island off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. The journalist noticed that most of the islanders were in ridiculously good health and seldom died before age 95.

He persuaded Mr. Izumi to submit to a medical check-up. The results were fantastic. How could a person of his age possibly be so healthy? A team of researchers came to the islands to answer this question.

After further investigation, the journalist found that all of the inhabitants of the island enjoyed the same good health and longevity. After returning from Okinawa and sharing his findings with those in the medical field, a team of researchers set out to try and determine what was keeping these people in such incredible health. What was the common denominator?

They found the water that the islanders drank was different from water found
anywhere else in the world. These islands were built up over the years from
coral reefs. When rain falls on the islands it percolates coral deposits and
picks up minerals and other elements that make it truly unique. Not only did
it contain many essential minerals that made very similar chemically to the
elements found in the human skeleton and body fluids, the amniotic fluid, and
blood, but it also was very alkaline, with a pH of 8.6. Maintaining an
alkaline pH is critical to cellular health, as we live and die at the
cellular level.

If the common denominator for the islanders was they all drank the water, the link was simple. Drinking water with a high pH factor, combined with minerals and other elements, provided their bodies with the natural ability to fight off disease.

The puzzle was now complete. The islanders were free of disease and lived longer because their bodies were always at an optimum alkaline level due to the coral calcium that was naturally added to their water.

After years of research, it was found that just a small amount of these
special coral sands added to just about any liquid would bring it into pH
balance. Further, they found that it also neutralized any waste products
present in water and added a number of of important substances removed during treatment or treating. Even water of poor quality that contained impurities such as bacteria, algae, heavy metals, fluoride, and chloroform left over from the treatment process, representing considerable health hazards, could also be brought into balance. Poor quality water may have been acidified by bacteria, algae, chloroform (from chlorination), nitrates and dangerous heavy metals, for example cadmium and aluminum. These pollutants may come from factory discharges, agriculture, sewer pipes, water mains and acid rain.

How Coral water works.....

· Raises drinking water's pH to approximately 8.5 regardless of previous quality.
· Binds heavy metals.
· Removes chlorine.
· Hinders growth of bacteria.
· Adds ionic coral calcium and essential minerals to water.

Fact: If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate
vitamins, minerals and food supplements.

Fact: There is more calcium in the body than any other mineral. 20% of an
adults bone calcium is reabsorbed and replaced every year.

What Okinawa Coral Calcium can do.....

· Maintain optimum alkalinity for optimum health
· Provide you easily absorbed and usable calcium
· Cleanse the kidneys, intestines and liver
· Maintain stronger bones and healthier teeth
· Alleviate insomnia
· Keep your heart beating regularly
· Help metabolize your body's iron
· Aid your nervous system
· Breakdown heavy metals and drug residues in your body
· Neutralize harmful acids that lead to illness
· Achieve a healthy alkaline level, neutralizing acid
· Protect your body from free radical damage
· Control digestive problems
· Increase muscle and joint mobility
· Combat arthritic conditions and heart disease
· Regulate blood sugar levels and blood pressure
· What Okinawa Coral Calcium contains

Okinawa Coral Calcium contains calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium,
essential trace minerals and many other microscopic elements essential to
human life. In addition, it contains antioxidants known to help protect the
body from free radical damage. These minerals and elements become ionic in
water and are promptly bio available to the cells. This was a major discovery
due to the importance of calcium in the body. It is scientifically documented
that up to 150 diseases are related to calcium deficiency. For this reason,
it is often called the "king of minerals". But in order for calcium to do its
work, the body must convert it to an ionic form. That problem is solved as
the coral calcium becomes ionic immediately in water for use by the body. The
body is simply able to absorb and use this calcium and these minerals to a
much greater degree.

Over 4 million Japanese use the product daily. In the U.S. today there are
only 250,000 users of Coral Calcium. It is projected that there will be
between 10-20 million users in the U.S. by 2002.

Scientists have discovered that a low level of oxygen in the body can disrupt the body's ability to function normally and at the same time can severely cripple the immune system, leaving your body vulnerable to disease and premature aging.

Coral calcium greatly increases the oxygen level in the body, thereby allowing the body to rid itself of toxic waste that continues to build up. That's why when you indulge yourself in "junk food" the body diverts oxygen away from the primary metabolic functions and works overtime trying to digest your high caloric intake. That's why when you eat junk food or large meals you feel sluggish afterwards. Your body literally slows down its metabolism to compensate for the overload.

Is your body oxygen poor? Here are a few signs to look for:

Muscle aches * Poor digestion * Dizziness
Weakness * Acid stomach * Irritability

pH: What does it mean? pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen. The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived the fluid is. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic.

Coral calcium doesn't cure disease. It simply keeps the pH level of our body fluids in sync so the body fights disease naturally, like it was meant to. The following list will help you determine what your level of acidity (pH) may be. Symptoms are divided into categories ranging from beginning to advanced. Please note this is a partial list due to the number of symptoms in each category. This information was taken directly from Dr. Baroody's book, Alkalize or Die.

THE "MICROBE FACTOR"

Bob Barefoot

There are some who would believe that the microbes would be destroyed when the coral is heated for dehydration purposes. However, rod-like bacteria can survive poor conditions, such as severe drought, heat, radiation and various chemicals. They do this by forming structures called endospores. A single bacterium will form a small sphere-shaped or oval shaped spore within its cytoplasm. This endospore is protected by a tough outer covering. It remains dormant until favorable conditions reappear, when the spores develop into bacteria cells. In addition there are many other factors that make coral calcium of marine origin more ideal for health. I prefer coral that is used in vegetable capsules or at least capsules that are made to dissolve at the righttime to provide the best circumstances for mineral absorption. The practice of breaking capsules and adding the contents to water is unnecessary, except in circumstances where some people cannot readily swallow capsules.


Microbes or bacillus are defined as any genus of rod-shaped bacteria that occur in chains, produce spores and are active only in the presence of oxygen and water. Although some microorganisms are destroyed in the process of drying, this process is not per se lethal to microorganisms. The addition of water can spring them back to life. Microbes can be found living in all living animals and plants. Of course most microbes can live off of plants and food, and are best known for their ability to "spoil" the food. Actually spoiling food is a form of digestion. Thus spoiled food is pre-digested by the microbes. This is probably the reason that most of the animal kingdom, including humans, have substantial numbers of microbes in their intestines. The strong acid in the stomach can not break down all food, especially complex carbohydrates. However, the microbes in the intestine living off of these foods, do indeed break them down and make them available for absorption by the small intestine. Also, the rod-like shape, allows the microbes to penetrate deep into the "finger-like villi", 5,000,000 lining the intestine, where they can easily be absorbed by:



1) facilitated diffusion
(glucose combines with a carrier substance which is soluble in the lipid layer of the cell membrane)

2) osmosis
(the movement of water molecules and dissolved solids through semi-permeable cell membranes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration)

3) filtration
(movement of solvents and dissolved substances across semi-permeable cell membranes by mechanical pressure, usually high pressure to low pressure)

4) dialysis
(separation of small molecules from large molecules by semi-permeable membrane)

5) pinocytosis
(or "cell drinking" where the liquid nutrient attracted to the surface of the cell membrane is engulfed).


As a result, the "microbes are crucial to life". Fortunately, most of the hundreds of non-marine microbes found in the human intestine were transferred by the mother. Some animals, like the baby elephant, have to eat their mother's excrement just to get the needed microbes.

Intestinal Tract Bacteria

The genera of bacteria that are found in the intestinal tract are:

Bacteroides - 22 species, non-sporing rods

Clostidium - 61 species, heat resistant spore-forming rods

Citrobacter - 2 species, lactose fermenting rods

Enterobacter - 27 rods, ferment glucose and lactose

Escherichia - one specie, rods

Lactobacillus - 27 species, non-sporing rods employed in the production of fermented milks

Proteus - 5 species, aerobic rods that hydrolyze urea

Pseudomonas - 29 species, most important bacteria in spoilage of meats, pultry, eggs and seafoods

Salmonella - 1800 species that ferment sugars and glucose

Shigella - 4 species, aerobic, like pollutuon

Staphylococcus - 3 species, coagulate blood, also common in nasal cavities

Streptococcus - 21 species


Salt greater than 1% can cross the cell membranes of most bacterium by osmosis, which results in growth inhibition and possibly death of the microbes. Everyone is also familiar with the preservation of meat by "salting", which kills or inhibits the bacteria. Thus large quantities of salt in the intestinal tract, which occur when large quantities of nutrients have been digested (hydrochloric acid from the stomach reacting with the sodium bicarbonate from the pancreas produces salt in the duodenum), can kill the microbes, thereby inhibiting nutrient absorption by the body, especially when large amounts of nutrients have been ingested.

On the contrary, "marine microbes", such as those found in coral calcium by the Swedish, thrive in high salt environments. Also because of their original salty marine environment, as well as their calcium magnesium and mineral environment, the marine microbes have no difficulty assisting the body to absorb high quantities of these minerals, especially when the intestine is saline, resulting from the consumption of large amounts of mineral nutrients. These same salts, however, incapacitate the natural microbes(Our Microbes) in the intestinal tract, thereby inhibiting nutrient absorption. Thus, the coral marine microbes resolve this problem, dramatically increasing the absorption of the nutrients by the body.


Those people using a small sachet teabag that allows only a tiny amount of coral to dissolve in the liquid in which they are placed, and those using fossilized coral, still get some benefits from the marine microbes, hence the testimonials. Also, these testimonies emanating from the small intake of nutrients is nothing short of astounding. The reason, for this success is that when the teabag or the fossilized coral is placed in a liquid the microbes come to life and are consumed when the liquid is drank. These microbes can then latch on to nutrients already in the duodenum and pull them into the body resulting in health benefits. Consumption of marine coral, on the other hand, allows the "total nutrient content of the coral" to be consumed as well, and therefore provides far greater health benefits, leading to more testimonials. The bottom line is that all coral from Okinawa has fantastic health benefits, but the marine coral is far superior .

CALCIUM REVERSES ACIDOSIS
Understanding pH Level and Why
Many People Have Disease / Cancer

Recent research has shown that, total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. In case you missed it, let me say it again...

Total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and
if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.


pH: What does it mean? pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen. The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived the fluid is. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic.

The pH scale is from 0 - 14
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 healthy 8 9 10 11 12 13 14


Human blood stays in a very narrow pH range right around ( 7.35 - 7.45 ). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves to much below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the patient dies. The ideal pH balance for blood is 7.4

A healthy blood pH without cancer has acid + alkaline balance almost equal. Actually a healthy body is slightly alkaline measuring approximately 7.4. This ideal blood 7.4 pH measurement means it is just slightly more alkaline than acid.


0 is acid ------ blood pH 7.4 healthy ------ over 7 to 14 is alkaline


If you have a health problem, most likely you are acidic. Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. So, no matter what type of modality you choose to use to take care of your health problem, it won't be effective until the pH level is up. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. Your body pH affects everything.

The body has to have a balanced pH like most living things on earth or it does not function correctly. The alkaline level is very important because research has already proven that disease cannot survive in an alkaline state and yet they thrive in an acidic environment.

An acidic balance will: decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness.

An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur.

There are two factors that are ALWAYS present with cancer no matter what else may be present. Those two factors are Acid pH and Lack of Oxygen. Can we manipulate those two factors that always have to be present for cancer to develop and by doing so will that help reverse the cancer? If so, we need to learn how to manipulate those two factors.

Cancer needs an acid and low oxygen environment to survive and flourish within. Terminal cancer patients are around 1000 times more acidic than normal healthy people. The vast majority of terminal cancer patients possess a very low body pH. Why?

In the absence of oxygen, glucose undergoes fermentation to lactic acid. This causes the pH of the cell to drop from between 7.3 to 7.2 down to 7 and later to 6.5 in more advanced stages of cancer and in metastases the pH drops to 6.0 and even 5.7 or lower. Our bodies simply can not fight disease if our body pH is not properly balanced.

The normal human cell has a lot of molecular oxygen and a slightly alkaline pH. The cancer cell has an acid pH and lack of oxygen. Cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment. Again, the higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. Cancer and all diseases hate oxygen / pH balance. pH balance is very important for one's health.

Remember that the pH number is an exponent number of 10; therefore, a small difference in pH translates to a big difference in the number of oxygen or OH-ions. A difference of 1 in a pH value means ten times the difference in the number of OH-ions, a difference of 2 means one hundred times the difference in the number of OH-ions. In other words, blood with a pH value of 7.45 contains 64.9% more oxygen than blood with a pH value of 7.30.


Fact: If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. Also, mucus on the small intestine can block your body from vitamin and mineral absorption.



How to test your pH level

Test your pH level... If you are sick or have cancer simply wet a piece of Litmus Paper with your saliva 2 hours after a meal. This will give a reflection of your state of health.

Salivary pH Test: While generally more acidic than blood, salivary pH mirrors the blood ( if not around meals ) and is also a fairly good indicator of health. It tells us what the body retains. Salivary pH is a fair indicator of the health of the extracellular fluids and their alkaline mineral reserves.

Optimal pH for saliva is 6.4 to 6.8. Spit upon arising before anything is put into the mouth. A reading lower than 6.4 is indicative of insufficient alkaline reserves. After eating, the saliva pH should rise to 7.8 or higher. Unless this occurs, the body has alkaline mineral deficiencies ( mainly Calcium and Magnesium ) and will not assimilate food very well. To deviate from ideal salivary pH for an extended time invites illness.

Acidosis, an extended time in the acid pH state, can result in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, most cancers and many more. If salivary pH stays too low, the diet should focus on fruit, vegetables and mineral water as well as remove strong acidifiers such as sodas, whole wheat and red meat.

Urinary pH Test: The pH of the urine indicates how the body is working to maintain the proper pH of the blood. The urine reveals the alkaline building (anabolic) and acid tearing down (catabolic) cycles. The pH of urine indicates the efforts of the body via the kidneys, adrenals, lungs and gonads to regulate pH through the buffer salts and hormones. Urine can provide a fairly accurate picture of body chemistry, because the kidneys filter out the buffer salts of pH regulation and provide values based on what the body is eliminating. Urine pH can vary from around 4.5 to 9.0 for its extremes, but the ideal range is 5.8 to 6.8.

Foods considered to be alkaline-forming and thus helpful to people with consistently acid pH include: almonds, aloe vera, apples, apricots, bee pollen, buckwheat, cabbage, cantaloupe, celery, carrots, cucumbers, dairy products except hard cheese, dates, dulse, poached eggs, figs, grapefruit, honey, lettuce, millet, parsley, raisins, peaches, fresh red potatoes, pineapple, soy products, sprouted seeds, cooked spinach, turnip tops, wakame miso soup, azuki beans, rice, mineral water. More alkaline-forming foods.

People who remain too acid often display symptoms such as: anxiety, diarrhea, dilated pupils, extroverted behavior, fatigue in early morning, headaches, hyperactivity, hypersexuality, insomnia, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, restless legs, shortness of breath, strong appetite, high blood pressure, warm dry hands and feet.

Balancing the pH is a major step toward well-being and greater health. Acidosis ( overly acidic body ) is the primary indicator of Calcium Deficiency Disease. Scientists have discovered that the body fluids of healthy people are alkaline ( high pH ) whereas the body fluids of sick people are acidic ( low pH ). Coral Calcium can help balance your body pH.
