Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 The addition of calcium in orange juice just contributes to our chances of getting gallstones, etc. My son-in-law had kidney stones from high dairy consummption, etc. She always bought Tropicana with extra calcium. Try spinach and kale! Dairy is high in phosphoric acids and doesn't help with calcium loss as many tend to think!

Thank you for the article, I will continue to take the magnesium that I have purchased and all the other bits that have been recommended - I am sure that I must feel some sort of benefit no matter how small by the end of them which will tell me if I am going the correct way.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 Most of the calcium they add in food products aren't the absorbable kind. Also there is different kinds of calcium and certain ones are most beneficial for your bones. You need a certain amount of magnesium to help calcium to function also. So when you see these food products stuffed with " calcium " , think, are you really benefiting? Wheres the magnesium? How about the boron to help it enter the bones. My opinion is that this is just a product " buy me " scam.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 I am almost certain Tums do not contain aluminum; that's why I use them. But I do worry about calcium overload, because I take a lot of Tums. - <dfnewman Sunday, December 09, 2001 5:10 PM Re: Re: Calcium Question > I think Tums also have aluminum in them > In a message dated 01/9/12 7:56:26 PM, joguest writes: > > << > Good luck with it all.

Recently there was an Opthamology convention & I was horrified at the huge number of cigar smokers I saw wearing convention badges. At nurses' conventions I see a lot of chain smoking nurses. If I made a generalization, I'd say real estate agents I have met & talked with while on convention had more health consciousness than many I see in the medical profession.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 At a local hospital there is a smoking section outside of the hospital in full view of loved ones who are in a sitting area waiting to hear the results of surgical procedures..it is incredible how many nurses are out there ..There are many docotrs who still smoke as well In a message dated 01/10/12 6:11:41 AM, marianne2406 writes: << > have met & talked with while on convention had more health consciousness > than many I see in the medical profession. > >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 If they dont take care of themselves or their own loved ones, why should anyone criticize us for having a negative opinion about allopathic medicine?

It was the one bone of contention between my sister and I - she wanted me around a bit longer and felt that this would only happen if I gave up the evil weed. Doctors and nurses have no excuse having all that inside information and of course seeing it for themselves.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 John, Hello! Have you tried Milk of magnesia for gastric distress? Also Flora puts out a very good alternative blend. Fennel is a very good herb for digestion! I have used fennel with very good results. It is available in both tea and capsule form. Ginger is excellent also. Tums contribute to Alzheimers. Aluminum or not, have you read the labels? There are many toxic substances contained therein.
