Quackwatch on Robert Barefoot

I have read the Quackwatch home page on Robert Barefoot & their attack on coral calcium. It is ashame they cannot separate their investigation of unethical practices from the raw product Coral Calcium. I am not familiar with his product or the way it is processed (which is the big factor). I know they say it contains questionable ingredients. That is why good research of a product is such a sound practice. Some of their other claims are he is driven by revenue from his books, & not being truthful on revenue from his product.

I want to make it perfectly clear, Coral Calcium does not heal you!!! I think people are missing the idea. Our bodies do the healing, but for them to be able to do this they must have the proper building blocks or regeneration tools. I have seen many people that were constantly sick & with proper nutrition & the addition of vitamins & minerals their Immune Systems became stronger, & they became very healthy. Many of these people were healed of Degenerative Diseases very common in our society today. Some of these people are you who are reading this. If so please post your comment to this. There is strength in numbers!

Most of what I read on the page written by Stephen Barrett M.D., was written from the viewpoint of The Medical Industry (I use this word because it so closely describes our medicine today). Ironically these are the people who are claiming Robert Barefoot is revenue driven. They seemed to focus on claims that the Coral Calcium did the actual healing. It makes perfect sense to attack something that could help solve some of the problems doctors make money from. We have to be very careful in the politically correct society we live in today, but we do still have Freedom of Speech!! I do not know if Robert Barefoot is doing anything wrong, but I do know to attack Coral Calcium in such a way is very unfair.

The World's Oldest Man

The Guinness Book of World Records sent a journalist to interview the world's oldest documented living man, Shigechiyo Izumi, who lived on the Japanese island of Tokunoshima, Mr. Izumi was a 115-year-old man at the time of the interview, and had retired a short 10 years earlier! But what amazed the reporter the most was the average age of the population; seldom did one die in this society before the age of 95! Even the very old were active and healthy.

A team of researchers discovered that the explanation for their health and longevity was actually in the water. The island has been built up over the centuries from sango coral reefs. When rain percolates down through the coral and finds its way into the population's drinking water, it is infused with the ionic minerals - mostly ionic calcium - which make the water very alkaline and very healthy. The water then causes the body fluids to be very alkaline, and free of disease!

Today over 4 million Japanese use Coral Calcium daily, and the message has spread like wildfire across Europe and around the world. The Secret of the World's Oldest Man has exploded into North America, with life changing testimonies of its benefits pouring in daily. Check out the testimonials at www.xoomaworldwide.com/FORHEALTH

Research has shown that increased Calcium intake has had amazing results. Coral Calcium is CRITICAL to good health, its like water and air. You must have all three every day! Calcium is involved in literally 100s of critical body functions daily. Several years ago, Congressional document Number 23476 stated " there is not enough minerals in the soil to support health for our bodies". It has to be in the soil first in order to get in our food products and then into our bodies. If we don't use food supplements we certainly cannot be healthy. Many calcium pills are not even assimilated, you can take a 2,000 mg., but only assimilate 35 mg. Patented Sango Coral Calcium is in an ionic form & is readily assimilated. I have clients that feel effects from the first day.

Dr. Linus Pauling who won the Nobel Prize twice said ":... every disease is directly linked to a mineral deficiency. 2/3's of our intake daily must be minerals". Every mineral has a critical use in the body. Did you get your Calcium Today?

Mineral & Calcium Deficiency

According to Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg, degenerative diseases (attributed to aging all along), such as: Cancer, Osteoporosis, Heart disease, and other ailments such as Allergies, Kidney Stones and Gallstones have all been scientifically linked to acid! Acidosis (overly acidic body) is the primary indicator of Calcium Deficieny Disease. Scientists have discovered that the body fliuds of healthy people are alkaline (high pH) whereas the body fliuds of sick people are acidic (low pH). I have been claiming for over 15 years that mineral deficiency, especially the deficiency of calcium, is the cause of many degenerative diseases. It has only been recently that medical journals (The Journal of the Medical Assoc. & the New England Journal of Medicine) have been quoted in the press (New York Times, Readers Digest & U.S. World News Report) as validating that calcium plays a huge role in our health. Nutrition is finally being recognized as one of the main factors in America's sickness as a whole. The critical role that calcium plays in our health is astounding. Calcium also regulates our pH, which is the underlying key to wellness in the body. If your pH is low, healing cannot take place. When we drink a low pH drink our calcium is used to raise the pH of the low pH drink we ingested. Does this shed some light on why our society has such an overwhelming amount of degenerative diseases, Osteoperosis to name one & the overall lack of energy.

New York Times
"Calcium Takes Its Place As a Superstar of Nutrients"
October 13, 1998

"It is the primary building block of our teeth and bones. It provides the electrical energy for the heart to beat and for all muscle movement. It is the calcium ion that is responsible for feeding every cell. Without calcium, DNA cannot replicate itself. As a result, low calcium means low body repair and premature aging. But, most important of all, calcium controls the pH of the body."

Acid & Alkaline Forming Foods

We discussed the importance of keeping our bodies in a neutral or alkaline pH in an earlier post. The reason acidosis (the body staying in an acid state) is more common in Americans is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid producing animal products like meat, eggs & dairy, and far too low in alkaline producing foods like fresh vegetables. Our diets are also very rich in acid producing processed foods like white flour & sugar, and we drink many acid producing beverages like coffee, tea or soft drinks. Americans use too many drugs, which are acid forming; and we use artificial sweeteners which are poison and extremely acid forming. One of the best things we can due to correct an overly acid body is clean up our diets. The diet should be a minimum of 60% alkaline forming foods, but to restore health it should be 80%. An easy rule of thumb is alkaline forming foods include: most fruits, green vegetables, peas, green beans, lentils, spices, herbs, seeds & nuts. Generally, acid forming foods include: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, grains & legumes. The few acidifying fruits & vegetables are as follows: corn, lentils, olives, winter squash, blueberries, cranberries, currants, plums & prunes. Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalizing effect in the system. The pH of the actual food has nothing to do with the acid or alkalizing effects it has on the body. Lemons & watermelon are the most alkalizing fruits available. Mineral water that is made with coral calcium is very alkalizing, go to www.xoomaworldwide.com/FORHEALTH & watch the TV presentations. This is one of the highest alkalizing drinks available, not to mention the readily available calcium which is stolen from our bodies every time we drink an acid drink.

Sugar Free

Aspartic Acid the sweetener in Aspartame is in most diet beverages & more than 5,000 food products. 25% of American women are sensitive or allergic to Aspartic Acid and have symptoms such as headaches, sluggishness, anxiety, depression, irritability, tingling or shaking of extremities, rapid heartbeat or difficulty breathing & many more symptoms. According to the FDA 85% of reported adverse food reactions are aspartame-related. With more than 70% of American women consuming products daily sweetened with Aspartame this could account for some of the mass sickness today. We then say let's try Splenda. Splenda is currently being sued by the Federal Trade Commission for false advertisement. It is not natural, it is made with phosgene gas and a complex chemical chlorination process. The makers know though that they may advertise long enough to persuade or should I say manipulate the vast majority into using it, then when they are ordered to stop advertising the damage will already be done. It is already replacing Aspartame in some popular soft drinks. What is our alternative? There are many more natural sweeteners. Stevia is used widely in Japan like we use sugar in processed foods, but that is another story.

Parasites

Over 134 kinds of parasites can infect humans. A large percentage of the population of the world is infected, even in the United States. The World Health Organization has named parasitic diseases as among the six most harmful infective diseases in humans. We get these parasites from many different sources. Not only digging or working in the yard but just walking on the lawn barefoot where pets have been, even years before, can we pick up these parasites. Under cooked or non cooked foods, such as non washed produce. Over 50% of the nations drinking water is infected with a parasite called giardiasis. We pick up worms from touching & especially sleeping with our pets. If worms are in the intestinal tract, they can cause problems in the heart, liver, kidneys, brain, etc. by their toxic secretions or by reflex disturbance. Some common worms such as round worms lay over 200,000 eggs a day, hookworms lay 5-10,000 eggs a day and can live for fourteen years. Something to think about! Parasites are believed to play a significant role in cancer. Intestinal & bowel problems are some of the commonest symptoms. These symptoms are also the commonest symptom reported to physicians. Other symptoms include flu like conditions (body aches, chills, diarrhea & vomiting), extreme tiredness, sleeplessness, persistent allergies, hyperactivity in children, sweats, sudden nervousness or fingernail biting plus many more. An excellent parasite control is a daily spoonful of either food grade DE or Bentonite Clay stirred in water or my favorite way is whirled up into a shake in the blender. You will never know it is there, until you start feeling better. The old standby used for years is Wormwood with Green Black Walnut Hulls, cloves are also effective in killing parasitic eggs. A combination of these are best because they work on specific parasites. Building our immune system is the major key to parasite control.

Toxins

I have come to find that the body is a fantastic regenerating organism. We take in toxins daily thru the air we breath, the water we drink & the foods we eat. Our bodies also absorb toxins thru the skin. These toxins react in our bodies, causing our bodies to become sluggish. When our bodies stay in this state over a long period of time diseases & cancers set in. If we rid our bodies of these toxins, then supply the body at a cellular level with the vitamins & minerals needed, the body can rebuild itself.

Lack of Energy

Lack of energy is one of the most asked about subjects. One of the main reasons we lack energy is our bodies have become dehydrated & demineralized. We must have minerals in our bodies, but our diet has removed most of these. The pH level of our blood cannot fluctuate much outside the range of 7.30-7.45 or we will become diseased & can die. Most of our diet is very acid. The main culprit is soda pop. The pH of soda is around 2. When we drink 1 glass of soda we must drink 21 glasses of a high alkaline drink to counteract the affects. Not too many people do this, & most people drink more than one soda daily. This keeps our bodies in an acid state, which is the breeding ground for bacteria, fungus & virus. When the low pH liquid enters our bodies, the blood rushes first to the muscles, then the organs, then finally the bones to get calcium & other minerals to raise the pH of the liquid we just drank. If this is happening over & over & we are not replenishing these minerals couldn't that explain the massive sickness in our society today? The drop of energy in the afternoon is due to dehydration. Instead of us reaching for water to rehydrate, we reach for soda, which gives us a temporary sugar rush but does not really address the issue of dehydration. Now we are in worse shape than before. You say I don't drink soda, I drink tea. Tea has a pH of 2.8. Well then you ask about juice & power drinks, they are all in the range of 2.9 to 3.7. Even bottled water is in the pH range of 5. Does this now shed some light on the sickness of our society?
