And Does Alkalinity Really Cure Cancer? After the Council for Responsible Nutrition petitioned government authorities to take action against the marketers of coral calcium supplements for making unfounded health claims, and following editorial pleas in Time Magazine and the New York Times for health agencies to take action, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has dropped a heavy hammer against all marketers of coral calcium, in particular Coral Calcium Supreme, a product marketed on television by Shop America. The FTC not only names in its action Keven Trudeau and Dr. Robert Barefoot, the “stars” of the widely syndicated TV infomercial that touts Coral Calcium Supreme, but it also warns websites that sell this product to “discontinue these claims immediately” and requires them to notify via electronic mail of their specific corrective actions within 7 days of notification. [see www.ftc.gov for further information] But there’s more. Why only cite TV infomercials and websites? What about all the health products trade shows that gave Robert Barefoot center stage for his fraudulent claims? What about all the supplement manufacturers who climbed on top of the pile and introduced their own versions of coral calcium? What about the natural products magazines that accepted the advertising for coral calcium? What about the health food stores? Even Walmart is displaying the original Coral Calcium Supreme. Shouldn’t they all be required to remove any unsubstantiated health claims and notify the FTC? Don’t they all have a credibility problem here? Doesn’t the public place some level of trust in the natural products industry? Coral calcium has tremendously invigorated the sales of dietary supplements to the point where apparently no one dared lift a voice against Barefoot, after all, the money was flowing in. For the past eight months this author has posted a report citing many of the false claims by Robert Barefoot and those who market coral calcium as a cure for cancer. Few in the natural products industry cared to heed my warning. For decades the alternative medicine community has blindly accepted the idea that a state of acidity in the human body promotes cancer while an alkaline state prevents cancer. Robert Barefoot and accomplices have long advocated calcium as a cure for cancer because of its alkalinity. Actually, the opposite is true.
