Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 I myself take Calcium Citrate, I guess because I read it is easily absorbed in the body. I do not know about Coral Calcium, but I found out the chemical name for it is Calcium Carbonate. The health benefits of calcium are tremendous. Also, calcium deficiencies are common among people causing some problems as colon cancer among many others. Dawn In dwarfism , P <pmd9020@y...> wrote: Does any one take Coral Calcium?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 I know next to nothing about any of this, not being a heath nut (and that’s meant in the nicest, most PC way, knowing I should be more of a ‘health nut’ myself, more about nuts in a moment), but the name “Coral Calcium” worries me. I read that our coral reefs are already being badly depleted and I understand, though I may be wrong, that they play an important role in our oceans ecologies. What that could specifically be I haven’t a clue, however, the mental image of the supplemental health industry sending out an army of trawlers, belching black diesel fumes behind it, to rip up pristine reef beds in the name of the latest dietary fad sends a chill up my aging calcified spine. I think I’d rather get my calcium from milk, but then there are the PCBs in the milk fat. OK, non-fat milk then, but on the other hand the cows are not raised in a really warm and caring environment are they? So, there’re always pills, but who knows what else are in the pills? OK, broccoli! But then you’ re faced with the rather unpleasant task of actually having to eat…well…broccoli. I think I’ll pass on the calcium and just move on to dessert, thanks. Back to nuts. About 10 years ago Loma University (big vegetarians over there) announced the results of a long term study on colon cancer and found that eating ¼ cup of walnuts three times a week drastically reduced (by about 70-80% if I remember correctly) a mans chances of contracting colon cancer (it totally eliminated the possibility of contracting Colon , thank gawd). The study didn’t say what nuts women should eat but for my money munching on walnuts is one heck of a lot more pleasant than trying to choke down broccoli or gnawing on a branch of coral.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 The advertisement stated that the " Genuine Coral Calcium " was different from the " other " kinds from being 1.) harvested underneath the water or ocean floor not from " surface " coral. and 2.) it has more zinc or magnesium. To many late night infomercials. :-) (LOL) Mike Re: coral calcium > I myself take Calcium Citrate, I guess because I read it is easily > absorbed in the body. > I do not know about Coral Calcium, but I found out the chemical name > for it is Calcium Carbonate. > The health benefits of calcium are tremendous.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi, I was wondering if anyone is taking coral calcium for cancer or other conditions? If so, what is the best brand?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I use Coral calcium in gel cap form.(Fine powder) Most calciums are going to come from a " hard " source unless you can eat a Vegetable form of calcium.. I have no complaints about coral calcium. Blue From: Xinyun Wang I read from somewhere it said coral calcium is hard to digest. You can image how hard coral is. Sorry I cannot give more details.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 > Anyone else tried coral water? I recall having a horrible reaction to some coral calcium product mixed in a glass of water.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I haven't heard of coral water, but I've been taking coral calcium capsules. My applied kinesiologist says that the kind of calcium you should take depends on your Ph level. I forgot which was which, though. Most people will absorb the regular ones better (calcium carbonate or calcium citrate), but some need the coral calcium. I recommend getting professional advice from a holistic practitioner to select the best type. BTW, some natural food stores don't carry coral calcium because of the damage it does to the coral reefs in harvesting (I found this out later on). The only reason I continue to take the coral calcium is so that I can finish the bottle. I figure it would be even more wasteful to throw it out. ~Amie On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 6:59 PM, Marc <marc@...> wrote: > > > > Anyone else tried coral water? > > I recall having a horrible reaction to some coral calcium > product mixed in a glass of water.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Regards dosages of Calcium you need to take, Amie, Tennant also suggests dosages depending on your pH, pH of... below 6.0: 7700 mg coral Ca or 1540 mg Ca carbonate 6.0-6.5: 5500 mg coral Ca or 1100 mg Ca carbonate 7.0-7.5: 3300 mg coral Ca or 660 mg Ca carbonate > 7.5: none A salivary pH of 6.5 suggests a cellular pH of 7.2. Thus one has to adjust the cellular pH numbers by about 0.7. In Tennant's pdf this is explained on page 15. Tennant's 86-pages-you-definitely-must-go-and-get-for-free-pdf is downloadable on: http://www.tennantinstitute.com/TIIM_MAC/Patient_Forms.html (Click on how to stay well booklet) I think it's best to test how much Calcium you feel good or better with. And make sure you also take Magnesium (otherwise it doesn't matter how much Calcium you take). . > > > > > > > > Anyone else tried coral water? > > > > I recall having a horrible reaction to some coral calcium > > product mixed in a glass of water.

Regarding this point, the Magnesium Miracle book by Carolyn Dean, MD, recommends a calcium to magnesium in a 2:1 ratio, and mentions that most people overdose on calcium relative to magnesium. It has been shown that microwaves result in calcium efflux from brain tissue. * You need magnesium to properly absorb calcium. * Calcium constricts, magnesium relaxes.
