Super book
Enjoyed the book. Had already become informed about the deficiencies of
calcium in our American diet. Coral calcium is excellent. Stay with
a top-notch maker such as Standard Process. I don't sell it or have any financial ties to it- just get it from my health care provider - Dr. of
nutrition. Better brands cost more and are dispensed only by health care providers, but you don't have to worry about contamination.
Also, natural health care providers are aware that your tissues can still be acidic even
though the blood may say you are over alkaline. That happens because when
the tissues are acidic and need more alkaline, the body drafts calcium (which is alkaline) from the bones and sends it into the bloodstream to try to compensate. Blood alkaline readings above the normal 7.365 always indicate that the tissues are acidic and the body is sending its alkaline stores (mostly from bones) into the bloodstream to protect your organs.
The only way I could get sane with what to do for my health was to
find a professional who could guide my path. Many chiropractors are also
natural doctors (DN's)and dispense products such as Standard Process
which you can count on.
Give Barefoot a break. He has a good message and nobody's perfect.
The Calcium Factor Is A Must For Every Home
I was very impressed with Robert Barefoot's scientific background, research and conviction to saving Americans as well as the world from themselves and big Pharma. I have applied this information to my own life with astonishing results. Just a few short months ago I thought I was on a doomed path to lifelong chronic disease or early death. After a trip to the ER and follow-ups with my doctors I suggested that perphaps I could have a nutritional deficiency or maybe chronic dehydration was a problem as I knew myself I had not been drinking enough water. This was dismissed by the medical community as nonsense without any testing to prove otherwise. I was told on top of all my other problems, I now had fibromyalgia and was told that there is no cure but we can control it with several prescription drugs (for the rest of my life). Observing the way my doctors were so willing to dismiss nutrition sent me running, and this was before I embarked on a natural, nutritional path. My own commense sense raise serious red flags. I left there and headed for the Internet to research anything I could find on each one of my symptoms, one-by-one. I started a journal with a section devoted to each symptom and researched every known deficiency that would cause that one symptoms instead of looking at all my symptoms as a whole. When I broke down my research in this manner, I suddenly started coming up with 3 main culprits that kept reappearing with each symptom: Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium as well as water and oxgyen. This led me to Robert Barefoot's book, The Calcium Factor, which I eagerly purchased and read within hours of its arrival. It made the most sense of anything I had read or been told to date. Ironically, about the same time I got this book, a friend told me about her experiences and frustrations with her doctor and how she turned she skeptically turned to a procedure called "BioMeridian Feedback" and how it turned her life around. I then found a BioMeridan Feedback Specialist in my area and quickly made an appointment, thinking I had nothing to lose by trying. I was very skeptical so didn't tell the therapist any of my ailments, only that I had heard of this and wanted to check it out. What happened next blew me away. She told me exactly the symptoms I had been experiencing and told me I had a deficiency in Calcium and Potassium. This therapist also informed me that my most serious problem that needed addressing first was acid. This backed up what I had read in this book so I embarked on a regimen of ionic minerals and ionic coral calium. Within days my health and my life began to turn around. Symptoms were disappearing rapidly, my mental acuity sharply increased and I had an incredible surge in energy. I needlessly suffered for over 10 years from symptoms that left me debilitated with pain, fatigue and brain fog, all the while being treated by numerous medical doctors who not once addressed nutrition. A few years back I asked one of my doctors if I could ever hope to be pain free. His reply was, "if you ever wake up and find that you no longer have any pain to be immedialely suspicious that you are dead". No hope was offered by my doctors and apparently a positive mental attitude was not important to them either as this one statement sent me into a state of depression that lasted for years. So as far as I am concerned Robert Barefoot and the others who work tirelessly to bring to light the importance of giving our bodies what GOD put here for us and what we were built to run on should be praised for they are truly Angels. I have since bought several copies of this book for family members and friends. As far as some of the comments about Barefoot's literary skills, I say who gives a s---. I'm not interested in glossy words or propaganda, I can get that from the doctors, I want real evidence and real answers to real problems and that is what Barefoot delivers.
Interesting
Robert Barefoot may be on to something but there really is not much information to back up claims. The whole book seems to be an advertisement for coral calcium. Pages and pages of testimonials seem to be filler for the content. The author took a few chemical calculations and made a whole book on just a few ideas. Not bad but could have been done in a pamphlet or newsletter style and been just as complete.
Not impressed
Just another book sitting on my shelf...I read it, but nothing in there just turned me around...not overly impressed.
Not just 'snake oil'
The Calcium Factor: The Scientific Secret of Health and Youth
Being a scientist myself, I usually dismiss such 'natural treatments' as baloney. Upon hearing details from a friend about going from terminal cancer and on morphine 24/7 to cancer free in 30 days, I decided to read this book he recommended. I am impressed that it is based on a huge volume of very credible, refereed scientific publications, and his conclusions make much more sense to me from a standpoint of biochemical cause/effect than do the statistical results of common medical trials. Both my wife and I are currently making very painless adjustments to our body chemistry with expectations that this will improve our general health.
