The Case For Calcium


Let’s look at the facts about calcium, the most common yet mineral in the human body. There are 147 different diseases you can get from a calcium deficiency. We’ll just go over the top 10 when it comes to the number of people affected and the amount of money involved.

  • Osteoporosis:     
Let’s look at Osteoporosis, the number 10 killer of adults in the United States. Remember, 75% of those over the age of 65 who fracture a hip or leg bone don’t live 90 days.  Also, it’s the most horrible disease when it comes to human misery and dollars expended.  Osteoporosis leads to special vans with lift gates, ramps and the elevators, the special plumbing in homes and public buildings. We also have special parking places, wheelchairs, walkers and canes. Think of the beds and the chairs with little electric motors to lift you up when you can’t stand up by yourself. Other major cost includes physical therapists, joint replacement surgery, pharmaceuticals, and doctor’s visits. We’re talking billions and billions of dollars for nothing more than a calcium deficiency disease. Now as horrible a disease as Osteoporosis is in human beings; we don’t have Osteoporosis in animals because we don’t have Blue Cross, Blue Shield, major medical hospitalization, Medicare and Medicaid to pay for non-essential surgical treatments for mineral deficiency. Medical science has learned that giving calcium to animals after being weaned off their mother’s milk prevented arthritis or Osteoporosis from ever emerging. It’s amazing how that works.

  • Receding gums:     
Dentists and dental hygienists will tell you to floss and brush after every meal. Good practice, but that alone will not cut it. If you have receding gums or periodontitis, gingivitis, pyorrhea, loose teeth, bridges and plates, you have Osteoporosis in the facial bones and jaw bones. We don’t see receding gums in animals even though they don’t floss or brush, and that’s because we have cured the Osteoporosis problem in animals. Calcium is what we need.

· Arthritis:
85% of all arthritis is called wear and tear arthritis. Osteo arthritis, degenerative arthritis. These things are nothing more than Osteoporosis of the joint ends of the bones.   We need calcium.

 

· Hypertension/High Blood Pressure:
Has nothing to do with salt or salt restriction according to medical studies. 85% of hypertension not related to kidney disease, which is most of them, not related to kidney disease, is, in fact, a calcium deficiency.

· Insomnia:
Is not a deficiency of sleeping pills, halcyon or barbiturates, it’s a deficiency of calcium.


· Kidney stones/bone spurs/heel spurs/calcium deposits:
Again, the medical profession has the malignant belief that these things are due to too much calcium in your diet, try to give up calcium. When, in fact, you only get kidney stones/bone spurs/heel spurs and calcium deposits when you have raging osteoporosis. You actually need more calcium, more magnesium, not less.

· Cramps and twitches:
You have a calcium deficiency.

· PMS:
The University of California, San Diego, 8 years ago now, came out and said that 85% of the emotional and physical stuff of PMS can be relieved, eliminated and cured by taking 3 times the RDA of calcium.


· Low back pain:
Has nothing to do with disk problems. I know you have heard of people, maybe even yourself who have had disk surgery for back pain, and after the surgery still had the pain, maybe even worse. Fact; back pain is not caused by disk problems. If you have a disk problem, you can have numbness and tingling, maybe even paralysis if it’s very severe, but disk problems do not cause pain. If you have low back pain, the odds are you have cramps and spasms in the large muscle group, inside and outside your lower back. These can sublexate, or hit the line in your vertebrae and be uncomfortable, cause a lot of pain. You also have bone spurs, calcium deposits, arthritis, and osteoporosis. These are the things that cause low back pain. Now you’re educated and will never again say “Doc, you’re the doctor”, because you’ve been reading this blog, and unfortunately most Americans have not. The result will include them spending between $25,000 and $250,000 and voluntarily undergo 5 to 10 surgical procedures for nothing more than the top ten calcium deficiencies. In any other industry that would be fraud and they would be shut down. It is downright wrong to pay $5,000 for something that can be fixed with a quality affordable calcium supplement.
 
What's the Solution?
A typical human frame is comprised of 206 bones. Bones are living tissues that provide structural support for muscles, protect vital organs, and store the calcium essential for bone density and strength. To keep bones strong, the body is continually breaking down old bone and replacing it with new bone tissue. Until the age of about 30, you build and store bone efficiently. Then, as part of the natural aging process, bones begin to break down faster than new bone can be formed.
The body needs calcium to support functions including development and reparation of bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle contraction, blood clotting, and support of proper function of the heart. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests that individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle, adequate calcium consumption, and weight-bearing exercise in order to support the strengthening of the body's bones. In order for calcium to be absorbed efficiently by your body, it need other mineral co-factors.
Youngevity's® Osteo FX Plus™ was formulated to support healthy bones and joints. Osteo FX Plus meets the U.S. daily requirements for people over age 50 with 1,200 mg of calcium and contains the co-factors necessary to help your body better absorb and retain calcium. Vitamin D and Glucosamine, which are natural compounds found in healthy cartilage, also promote absorption and support optimal health and well-being.
Another important co-factor in Osteo FX Plus is the 300 mg of magnesium, which is an essential mineral involved in more than 300 systems in the human body. Magnesium is found mostly in green leafy vegetables, but the USDA says we aren't eating enough fruits and vegetables in our diet! The refined foods, which make up most of our diet, generally have the lowest magnesium and overall nutritional content. Osteo FX Plus is the answer to this deficit — it's never too late to commit to bone and joint health with a nutritional step in the right direction!
