The ability of your white blood cells to defend you from infections and disease is highly dependent on bioavailable calcium. Many of the calcium supplements available are in forms which aren’t easily digested and assimilated into the tissues.
For this reason, many who are taking the big box brands of calcium are throwing away their resources and actually creating harm to their bodies.
A cataract is calcification of the lens of the eye. So, why do these issues arise? We see that calcium must be held in suspension so it can reach the locations needed. This is accomplished by the mineral phosphorous. An imbalance between these two minerals can create problems.
Your bones have a perfect balance of both calcium and phosphorous. This is critical to maintain the living aspect of your bones. This applies to your teeth as well. Too much phosphorous and the teeth begin to dissolve and deteriorate. This is a huge challenge created by soda pop, high in phosphoric acid.
The proper balance between calcium and phosphorus is regulated by the parathyroid glands found on the back of your thyroid. These little glands help regulate the balance of calcium and phosphorous in various situations, involving bone growth in childhood and in the repair of fractures. Damage to these little glands can result in challenges regulating serum calcium, muscle contraction, tissue repair, blood pressure, along with many other critical functions our our system.
This is just one example of how one very small gland or organ can affect the entire body. Your bones depend highly on proper function from this gland, and messing with it’s neighbor, the thyroid can greatly impact metabolic function. Not just the rate of your metabolism.
A man’s prostate depends on having plenty of calcium in it. To achieve it, this organ is one of the richest in polyunsaturated fatty acids. When these fatty acids are lacking from the system, the prostate loses calcium and begins to swell up. The problem may not be realized until it swells to the point of restricting the flow of urine.
The need for these polyunsaturated fatty acids in our diet goes far under stated. These fatty acids known as vitamin F are responsible for delivering calcium into the tissues. This is critical in many areas, not just when dealing with conditions of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate), but in dealing with muscle cramps (charley horses), Immune deficiencies, cardiac weakness and irregular heart beats.
This is a nutritional element I rely on constantly in my office with amazing results. I have a dear friend who was dealing with prostate challenges where the only way to pass urine was to be catheterized. The use of vitamin F and calcium lactate has given him back his freedom. Now I hear he’s shared the information with five other men suffering swollen prostates who are now experiencing relief. The ability to touch lives and improve them without even seeing the patient is a blessing.
The issue of appropriate calcium, which is easily absorbed and assimilated is huge. All too often we see people taking supplements with calcium carbonate in them. This is limestone. Not digestible or assimilable to any real extent in our bodies. I’ve found that calcium lactate is truly what our bodies desire and can use without dumping excess into the joints, or kidneys, resulting in stones created there or in the liver and gallbladder doing the same.
Absorbing minerals, especially calcium and iron requires a healthy stomach, which creates an adequate amount of hydrochloric acid. When this is interfered with, absorption is impaired. This is a major reason why acid blockers have the waring of osteoporosis. If you can’t put money back in the bank, you eventually go broke. Your bones are the calcium reserve for all muscular function and your immune back up. When calcium levels in the system go low, your bones have to release calcium reserves to run on. Eventually bone structure becomes compromised and the bones collapse.
When I evaluate the strength of heart contractions I have to take into account what’s available in the way of calcium. Elevated blood pressure can be a direct result of not being able to access calcium into arterial muscles so they can relax. Both calcium and it’s assistant, vitamin F can be essential in assisting a person to fully relax and enjoy life. This includes the ability to sleep restfully.
Vitamin D is essential, but without both calcium and vitamin F you may be missing out.
