Re: was Miracle in a bottle - Now calcium

[Guest guest]

Anne,

I guess a bone fracture would be a symptom LOL - but I actually don't

know how you could tell if you have a calcium deficiency, without that

bone test to show whether you were headed for osteoporosis or not. I

think calcium helps your blood to clot, so if you cut yourself and

bleed forever that may be a sign.

I just found this online - what I found interesting is that it says

here that a calcium deficiency AND too much calcium are both

associated with hypertension.

" Chronic calcium deficiency is associated with some forms of

hypertension, prostate and collorectal cancer, some types of kidney

stones, miscarriage, birth (heart) defects in children when the mother

is deficient in calcium during pregnancy, menstrual and pre-menstrual

problems, various bone, joint and periodontal diseases, sleep

disturbances, mental health / depressive disorders, cardiovascular

and/or hemorrhagic diseases, and others.

Elevated calcium levels are associated with arthritic / joint and

vascular degeneration, calcification of soft tissue, hypertension and

stroke, an increase in VLDL triglycerides, gastrointestinal

disturbances, mood and depressive disorders, chronic fatigue,

increased alkalinity, and general mineral imbalances. High calcium

levels interfere with Vitamin D and subsequently inhibit the vitamin's

cancer-protective effect unless extra amounts of Vitamin D are

supplemented. "

So I think it's always best to get your nutrients from foods, instead

of manmade isolated substances - because your body knows exactly what

to do with foods.
