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:
| Minerals |
Elemental
Weight

| Calcium |
1200

| Magnesium |
600

| Zinc |

| Boron |

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.
