Coral Calcium May Help In Curing Up To A Hundred Diseases

Coral Calcium

The discoverer of Coral Calcium was Dr. Robert barefoot. His belief was that the reason why the Okinawans from Japan lived longer was that their drinking water was rich in coral reef substances surrounding their area. He further said that it would neutralize the toxic acidity of the body as coral calcium is alkaline based.

The coral calcium infomercial maintains that intake of coral calcium may help in curing up to 200 human diseases. However Dr. BarefootÂ’s claims have no evidence to prove them nor is there any evidence to prove that alkalizing our bodies may cure cancer. The danger involved in consumption of coral calcium is that coral reef is protected by international law that means the coral calcium available for consumption is fossilized coral calcium coming from industrial waste.

Coral calcium consists of primarily calcium carbonate that you can find in any calcium supplements. The FDC (federal trade commission) in 2003 had charged the marketers of Coral Calcium Supreme of making unsubstantiated claims about its health benefits.

Claimed evidence of Coral CalciumÂ’s Benefits by Barefoot

In his book The Calcium Factor Barefoot claims that there are hundreds of articles in journals to support his argument. However it has been observed that the mentioned articles are just from magazines and not from any journals that scientifically acclaimed.

Coral Calcium may benefit you in various way depending upon how your body reacts to it.

1) Increase in lifespan
2) a healthier life
3) Coral calcium gets 100% absorbed in the body as compared to 1% absorption of calcium containing antacids.
4) Helps in revitalization of cells for promoting health.
5) Helps in fighting over 200 diseases.

Cautions against Consumption of excess Calcium

• Laboratory analyses have identified the presence of too many heavy metals in coral calcium including lead. The presence of too many heavy metals in the body can lead to toxicity and death.
• Coral calcium can cause excessive allergies in people allergic to shellfish.
• A normal calcium supplement is much cheaper and safer than a purified calcium carbonate supplement.
• As mentioned above coral calcium marketers claim 100% absorption rate but in fact only 30-35% is absorbed in the body.
• Manufacturing of coral calcium through coral reefs is against the international law and is destroying natural beauty.

Usage
If you are really hell bent on trying coral calcium then Barefoot says that a normal person should take 3 capsules a day. However people sick with abnormal salivary ph should take 6-9 capsules a day.

However if you are concerned about your heart health then look at your omega 3 fatty acids, and fish oils instead of coral calcium. As for the cancer risk you need to look at your antioxidants and vegetables not coral calcium.
