THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CANCER, DISEASE AND YOUR SALIVA'S pH
Coral Calcium is an all-natural nutritional food supplement that is currently in use by millions of people throughout the world. This information is intended to educate and inform you and the ones you love on the benefits of calcium. The following is a telephone interview with Andrea SIMMs, International Champion Martial Artist and Radio Commentator from Auburn, California, and Robert Barefoot, Chemist and Author of the books The Calcium Factor, Death By Diet, and The Twelve Second Health Test, recorded in April 1997.
Andrea: Thank you for being with us today. The topic is Calcium. Tell me, Bob, What is with all this calcium? Every time I turn around someone has added calcium to his or her product. There is calcium in milk, there is calcium in orange juice, calcium, calcium, calcium. What is up with that? Why calcium?
Bob:Yes, your question reflects what everyone else is thinking. Why? Why? Why? And I doubt very much whether all those people putting it in their products even know why. All they know is that calcium is good for you and no one knows why. Thirty or forty years ago, there were only two scientific publications a year on biological calcium. Last year, there were over 17,000, and that means that scientists are rushing, rushing to find out why calcium is so good for you. "The Calcium Factor" was written after 14 years of study and gathering up of all the available information to tell why calcium is so good for you. Right now, it is the only book that tells you how and why. I guess to begin with, you have to realize that your body is made up of water, which is hydrogen oxygen but is also made up of other gases like, nitrogen, carbon, and Co2 methane. These gases contain 96% of the body. What's left? Well, the 4% of your body is made up of 35% calcium, so in other words, 1/3 of your body that isn't gases is calcium. It is in every cell, almost every biological function, it controls your health, it controls everything in bodily functions. And the biggest problem of calcium is that by the time the average American reaches 35, it begins depleting it's calcium resources. In other words, more is going out then is coming in.
Andrea:OK, then you are saying that calcium is very, very important , if I'm hearing you correctly, to the body and especially to the people over the age of 35. Yes. OK, where do we get this?
Bob:Well, the biggest thing is it has to be replenished and you know we stop and slow down in our drinking of milk. Where are we going to get it? Well, you can eat about 15 pounds of broccoli. Or you can eat 20 pounds of spinach, if you would like. I mean, a calf stops drinking milk and than eats a bushel of grass to get his equivalent. We don't eat that much fruits and vegetables, so you have to have a supplementary source and as you get older, your body produces less and less acid for your stomach. By the time, most people are 60, they only produce 1/5 of the acid that they do when they are 21, and they only produce it during mealtime. So these people are popping their nutrients, in between meals; most pass right through their body. So the only real source is something that is already iodized and, of course, I heard your ad, and I'm just ecstatic because the best source of ionic calcium is this Coral Calcium. It has a track record, you get it already pre-iodized, it is sort of predigested, and your body absorbs a whole bunch more than it does if you start popping Tums, for instance.
Andrea: OK, so when you are saying ionic, what is it that you exactly mean?
Bob: Calcium doesn't go into your body as an element; it goes in as a calcium lactate, calcium carbonate; it goes in as a mineral, effectively, and to be absorbed by the intestine, it has to break away into its atoms, and with a charge on it. And this requires a lot of acid and energy. When you're young, you've got it, but as you get older and older you don't have that. It's very important if you can find a source that's already pre-iodized, and this Coral Calcium has a track record. It's been around for hundreds of years, on the island of Okinawa, where it comes from. The people drink it, live into the hundreds, and they live without any diseases. Well, that's almost scary at times, when you say without any diseases, because I look at some of the people I know that are into their hundreds, and I'm not sure I want to live to be a hundred. But that is an American hundred, that's not an Hoeing hundred, or a Georgian hundred, or an Okinawa hundred. They don't grow old either because calcium slows down the aging process, dramatically. In my book "The Calcium Factor" we get into it in detail, and we show exactly how it slows down the aging process. These people, when they are 80 have the body of a 40-year-old; when they're 100 they have the body of a 50-year-old. So, if you were 100 and had the body of a 50 year old, you wouldn't mind being 100. So we are not talking of growing old and decrepit, like our nutrient deficient brothers are in North America. We're talking about staying young and staying healthy.
Andrea: Going back to the calcium, I'm fascinated. As an athlete I've been told many times you need more calcium - you need more calcium for your bones, for your hair, for your muscle aches and pains to go away. What is it, how does that happen?
Bob: Calcium is also the battery in your body. Every heartbeat gets its electricity from the calcium battery or the calcium chemistry. When people have aches and pains, it's because of the calcium deficiency. In the matter of days, by consuming calcium, your aches and pains go away in your muscles. But I have to add to this, though, that to be absorbed - see calcium is positively charged and so are your intestines. So it repels the calcium, it repels the other nutrients. What you require is vitamin D because your intestines have vitamin D receptors, VDR. You need about 5,000 iu of vitamin D in your intestine and you then absorb 20 times as much calcium. So why start consuming all these products and absorb just 5%, why not absorb 100%? And the way to do that is take 5,000 iu of calcium, which is only a tenth of a milligram --it's almost nothing. You produce 20,000 when you're in your bathing suit out in the sunshine.
Andrea: Oh, oh that's right, vitamin D the sunshine vitamin.
Bob:That's right - the sunshine vitamin. Oh, it's the sunshine vitamin, of course. So, it is important for us to go out in the sun, walk around, and take our calcium in ionic form and - Andrea:I'm wondering - can I add calcium in this ionic form to my coffee, or to my what, what do I do with it?
Bob: Oh, get calcium in essentially any form. I put it in my juices, I put it in everything. Coral Calcium comes in a little tea bag, and you can drop it. This is a great product. I take other forms of calcium, too. This one is a neat one because as I get older I know I'm going to get benefits. This Coral Calcium also has all these trace minerals and our bodies are trace mineral deficient. Did you know they give laboratory animals a trace mineral called pisadineum? You have not even heard of it? Well, in the chemistry lab you learn that pisadineum is an element. These laboratory animals live twice as long with just a trace of metal, so these trace minerals are crucial to our health. Trace cranium can prevent diabetes. We can go on.
Andrea: Hold it, hold it, you said prevent diabetes. Excuse me, I didn't mean to cut you off but you said prevent diabetes. I know lots of people with diabetes. You're saying that with the right to say it . . .
