Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 BLOOD CALCIUM....HIGH I have a client who has several " nodules " on her thyroid (as per her doctor) and her bood calcium has been elevated for several months. Her Parathyroid tests are normal, her bone scans are normal. But the Endocronologist wants to remove nodules and remove part of the Parathyroid - as he claims that she will eventually have osteoporosis, and other health problems such as kidney stones from this " excess " calcium. My guess is that she probably doesn't have enough of the right calcium - so her blood is leeching it out of her bones.... SUBJECT: RE: BLOOD CALCIUM HIGH Usually when a doctor sees calcium in the blood he takes people off their calcium...when in actuality, it means they are low on calcium (body is leeching from bones) and cannot utilize the calcium they are taking. Calcium not utilized properly settles in the soft tissue...usually causing joint pain. Change to a different (I like bone meal best) natural calcium, and feed the thyroid...(KELP and other seaweeds), and maybe suggest she go back for a recheck in about 6 weeks....the nodules may be gone! SUBJECT: RE: BLOOD CALCIUM....HIGH Kimberly B., ND A hormone produced by the thyroid is *calcitonin* which decreases the calcium levels in the blood. It also increases osteoclast absorption and formation. It " inhibits " the release of calcium from the bone. Phosphates (soda and carbonated drinks) can inhibit calcitonin production. When calcium in the blood is high then there is: 1. A magnesium deficiency preventing calcium and lipoproteins to be drawn through the intestinal membrane. Also the anterior pituitary plays a role in this where it is unable to control magnesium via hormonal control. You can help by adding magnesium, B12, Super Algae or Master Gland and bitters. 2. Or an improper bile emulsification preventing fats from being absorbed (it would depend on the other blood tests that are out. No SINGLE blood test is a stand alone test). This would be helped with things like lecithin, B6, Gall Bladder Formula, l-Carnitine and Cellular Energy. http://www.greatestherbsonearth.com/nsparticles/high_blood_calcium.htm _________________ _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjoguest DietaryTipsForHBP http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest The complete " Whole Body " Health line consists of the " AIM GARDEN TRIO " Ask About Health Professional Support Series: AIM Barleygreen " Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future " http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/AIM.html PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER We have made every effort to ensure that the information included in these pages is accurate.
