Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Hi Marie, I saw this infomercial too. My thinking was that if the Okinawins were healthy because of the coral calcium, it could be because they put it on their crops not because they were eating it. Taking the coral calcium would be the same as eating fertile dirt(that was just my take on the whole thing). I did consider buying some to put in my herb pots but since it's pricey-I probably won't. Have you seen the lemon egg recipe in the files? It's a good, inexpensive source of calcium. Just my .02, Ann I was watching an info-mercial on Robert Barefoot and his Coral Calcium supplements, and thinking of getting some. According to him, most of our physical problems are a lack of calcium. It's kind of pricey. Do you know if he has *the* secret formula, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Having visited Florida and seen coral blocks firsthand, i would not trust a supplement made from that. Maybe it's good stuff, but i haven't seen the infomercials and am not likely to. Generally, i've found that regular health food store mineral supplements are pretty good, particularly the KAL brand. Notice that i said " mineral " . Calcium is only effective if included with a number of other minerals in certain proportions.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Hi Marie, In actual fact, you can very easily make a calcium/magnesium supplement yourself. It's in the files as "Lemon Egg". Quite easy to make, and very cheap :-) Mrs Lisa BelcherSunderland, UK ICQ # 115492725DownsSyndrome - Marie Thingelstad herbal remedies Saturday, September 21, 2002 11:45 AM [herbal remedies] Coral Calcium Good morning folks,Hope you're having a great day so far.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Marie, I agree with Suzi, this is one of the best forms of assimilable calcium you can possibly use. Better than anything you will ever buy in the HFS as far as I know.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Does anyone have any information on Coral Calcium in relation to cancer? My life partner, John, is in remission from Stage IV non- hodgkins lymphoma and would like to stay that way. A friend of his told him that he'd heard that coral calcium would help to keep his body alkaline and thus prevent a reoccurence of cancer. I'd like to hear from anyone who has had personal experience or knows of any sites that have scientific research on the calcium. Thanks for your time!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 ---Maureen, If I had any problems I would take Essiac liquid tea by Flora (be sure to get the original formula by Nurse Rene Caisse, at least 200 mcg of selenium each day, and maximum doses of Udo's Oil. That should keep it at bay and in addition improve quality of life as well! http://www.florainc.com http://www.udoerasmus.com Cheers, JoAnn In Gettingwell , " maureenoliver40 " <freezgrafx@v...> wrote: > Does anyone have any information on Coral Calcium in relation to > cancer?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Dear Alobar, Thank you for taking the time to impart this information! Trying to keep up with all the information out there is daunting at times but worth the effort if it helps to keep my life partner in remission!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Dear JoAnn, Thanks so much for the info! We're researching just about everything we can and will hopefully make an informed decision about the best path to take in order to keep the cancer from reoccurring.
