Calcium & Osteoporosis

One of the Doctors who attended my Seminar earlier this year, wrote to me, about "Gastrointestinal Intolerance to Allopathic Calcium Supplementation".

Calcium is of prime importance to the Body, and touches the topics of Nutritional Imbalance and Hormone Imbalance in Males & Females. These have been favorite topics of my Seminars during the last 2 years.

In furtherance of our Center's aim in continued education of the Medical Profession, I have prepared a brief Note on this topic. Information given here was perhaps not adequately covered during my Seminars due to the shortage of time. I have also enclosed an Annexure on Calcium for those with a more serious Technical bent of mind.

Digestive Acids normally reduce substantially with passing years. Calcium Supplement in the form of Calcium Carbonate (CaCo3) further reduces acids in the stomach. This aggravates "Gastrointestinal Intolerance". Calcium Carbonate being insoluble in water, is not available in the ionic state and absorption is less than 4%.

The solution is, to use water soluble Organic Calcium, which is bio-available in ionic form, at much higher percentages for easy assimilation and long term retention in the Body.

Calcium alone is incapable of ever reversing Osteoporosis. The experience of Doctors worldwide is that no increase in Bone Density occurs by using Calcium Carbonate Preparations which are readily available in Food Stores and Pharmacies.

Our Natural Calcium and Super Calcium preparations are both Organic Calcium. Super Calcium has Magnesium, Boron & Zinc in a synergistic manner to help reverse Osteoporosis. In addition, we have Soy Milk Powder specially fortified with Calcium and Magnesium. The Isoflavones of Soy help increase Bone Density.

The following minerals are required in Organic Form in these specific ratios to help reverse Osteoporosis:

Sesame Seeds / Chutney has both Organic Calcium and Magnesium and therefore recommended for reversal of Osteoporosis. If Micronized, as in Tahini, Calcium and Magnesium will be many more times Bio-available to the body.

It is easily possible to optimize and step-up the flow of Gastric Juices to help enhanced digestion and optimize absorption of Nutrition from food. Improper flow of Gastric Juices will impair the absorption of all types of Nutrition besides Calcium and the Body will begin to age rapidly.

Our Herbal Preparation Digestive Aid, helps increase Digestive Juices in the Body. 1 capsule taken half hour before meals for 2 to 4 weeks will help correct this situation, optimize the absorption of Nutrition from the Food you eat and make you more healthy and energetic. This way "Gastrointestinal Intolerance" can be corrected.

As Health Counselors to the Medical Field we will be more than happy to provide you a Protocol of Treatment for each Medical Case History you provide. The Protocol will provide complete guidance for the Natural treatment of the Patient. It will also serve as a valuable tool for treatment of the "Root Cause" of many other similar cases in the future.

We once again, thank you for your Patronage to our Health Care Center during the last year. Your continuing efforts in referring needy Patients to our Center are highly appreciated and will serve as a valuable aid in providing Hands On Training to the Doctors attached to this Clinic.

Calcium

Avoid Natural Oyster Shell Calcium, Dolomite, and Bone Meal Products as the Lead levels are invariably high. Although refined Inorganic Calcium Carbonate has the lowest Lead content, the body absorbs Organic Calcium more efficiently.

The absorption of Calcium depends on the Calcium becoming ionized in the intestines. Calcium ionization is major problem with Calcium Carbonate, the most widely used Calcium supplements. In order for Calcium Carbonate to be absorbed it must first be solubilized and ionized by stomach acid.

Studies with Postmenopausal women show that about 40 percent of the women studied are severely deficient in stomach acid. Patients with insufficient stomach acid output can only absorb about 4 percent of a Calcium Carbonate oral dose, but a person with normal stomach acid can typically absorb about 22 percent. Patients with low stomach acid secretion need a form of Calcium already in a soluble and ionized state, like Calcium Ascorbate, Calcium Orotate. Patients with reduced stomach acid absorb about 45 percent of the Calcium form Calcium Ascorbate compared to 4 percent absorption for Calcium Carbonate.

This difference in absorption clearly demonstrates that ionized soluble Organic Calcium is more beneficial than insoluble Inorganic Calcium salts like Calcium Carbonate in patients with reduced stomach acid secretion. Calcium is also more Bio-available from Organic Calcium Ascorbate than from Inorganic Calcium Carbonate in normal subjects. Organic Calcium Ascorbate and other soluble Organic forms (Aspartate, Orotate, etc.) are the best supplements available for optimal absorption.

In addition, Ascorbates provide Vitamin - C which increases Collagen formation which is essential for Bone formation activity in the body.

The retention of Organic Calcium in the Body is higher than Inorganic Calcium Carbonate which the body tends to excrete rapidly through the urine - Hypercalcuria.

Higher levels of Calcium in the Blood, should not necessarily be the guiding factor in discontinuing the oral administration of Calcium Supplements. The inherent intelligence of the body releases Calcium from the Bones to correct the acidity of the Blood, which must constantly be maintained at a slightly alkaline pH of 7.4. This action can show high levels of Calcium in the Blood (if the body pH has drifted to Acidic levels) and discontinuing Calcium supplement can only aggravate the Osteoporosis of the Patient. The strategy would be to monitor the pH of the Saliva which is a fair indication of the pH of the Blood and to correct the same by proper administration of AlkaBoost and to also simultaneously step up the dose of Organic Calcium Supplementation to 1600 to 2000 mg per day for a short period till the situation is brought under control. Osteo-Pak is a special Organic Calcium Supplement synergistically balanced with Organic Magnesium, Zinc, Boron to help in the reversal of Osteoporosis. Soy Milk Powder contains fortification of Organic Calcium and Magnesium.
