I've been using bone meal powder, does anyone else?

November 29, 2008

As some of you may know, I damaged my teeth by being a low-fat

fruitarian for about a year or two. I had tremendous tooth soreness

and sensitivity. Bone meal powder has been the single most effective

thing for reducing my tooth sensitivity, and I've tried a lot of

different liquid and tablet calcium supplements of different types,

even some homemade calcium supplements from fish bone. I'm pretty

sure the bone meal is much more absorbable than anything I've tried,

because it's also tended to bind up my stools extremely well. This

isn't a problem, because it's very easy to take a magnesium supplement

to balance this out. I have read a little bit online about

cold-processed bone meal powder, in some old Royal Lee material. Does

anyone make cold-processed bone meal?

----> You can try drrons.com bone meal. It's called calcium

hydroxapaptite. I've heard the problem with regular bone meal is heavy

metals.

I might buy some of Dr Rons. I would like to ask about the heavy

metals, though. Where would cows get high levels of heavy metals?

They don't eat seafood, usually, and they don't get dental work. I'm

not swaying they don't have any, but I don't see where they'd have all

that much, relatively.

----> Good question and I don't know the answer. The person who told

me this does professional detoxing but she may have heard it from

someone who heard it from........

just googled heavy metals bone meal and found this for NOW dog bone

meal supplement.

they say they test for this...

maybe plain ole bone meal is fine

byrson in the Fluoride Deception does say that bone meal

can contain high amounts of F.

here's an older study on metals in bone meal:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/528447?dopt=Abstract

Lead, fluoride, and other elements in bonemeal supplements.

Capar SG, Gould JH.

The Pb, Cd, F, Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Ti, and Zn content of 20

commercial bonemeal supplements was determined. Samples were

mineralized with nitric and perchloric acids prior to determination of

all elements except F, for which a diffusion method was used. Pb and

Cd were determined by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry,

F was measured using an ion selective electrode, and all other

elements were determined by inductively coupled argon plasma

spectroscopy. The mean recoveries of Pb and F were 97 and 99%,

respectively. The concentration range of Pb was 1.5-8.7 microgram/g.

Cd was quantitated in only one sample at a level of 2.5 microgram/g;

all other samples were estimated to contain less than 0.05 microgram

Cd/g. The concentration of F ranged from 261 to 921 microgram/g.

I always read the issue with bone meal was specifically lead, and that it

came from the old leaded gasolines. Dunno how much that has dissipated

since the use of unleaded gasoline... but then again, not all countries are

unleaded so it would depend on where they're getting their bones...

Galvanized containers (such as for feed) also seem pretty popular since

they're so cheap and they have lead issues too.

It's good that you also take magnesium. I read that you should have

much more mag than calcium, although in your case you were so depleted

of calcium I guess that to " bone " up was good. I've been using the

transdermal magnesium from
