  If you are a new coral user, you can relate to this man's experience!
 
I started taking the Coral Calcium tablets only 2 weeks ago. I'm 56 years old and my general state of health is good. I started the program not as an attempted cure, it simply makes perfect sense as a long term preventative. I have to say that I have experienced several distinct effects that I can only attribute to the Coral Calcium.

1. I've begun to sleep through the night like someone knocked me out. I awake with no back and joint pain and no morning hangover.
2. My energy level has gone up 100%. I'm ready to go when I wake up. I have no mid-day letdown. The high energy stays with me all day long. My productivity has doubled.
3. Strange at it may sound I've become calmer about any and all of the stress in my life. (I have a very stressful job.) I've just begun to deal with everything in a very calm deliberate way.
4. Another strange at it may sound; my appetite is as good as ever. I just don't crave as much food. As a result I'm eating the same as I did before and I'm loosing weight.

I didn't mean for this to become a testimonial...

Neck Pain and Bone Spurs - this Dr Avoided Surgery
 
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful product. I was told by my neurologist that I needed an operation to correct the intense pain in my neck, back and numbness in my left fingers caused by a bone spur at the C-7 position of my neck. I couldn't even sit in a chair without experiencing intense pain. An operation was scheduled for May 17, however a few days before the operation I did some research and became aware of Coral Calcium. With nothing to loose I ordered a bottle. After taking the Coral Calcium the pain went away within two days and hasn't returned. The numbness is also returning back to normal. Amazing..Absolutely Amazing. Two more bottles arrived this week. Thank you so much!!

Osteoarthritis Pain and Mobility

 
I never thought that I would be writing a testimonial for any product, my mind was certainly changed when I began taking Coral Calcium.

I purchased Coral Calcium after seeing a program about the benefits of this product, which is something I have never done. I heard Dr. Barefoot talking about the benefits such as for Arthritis pain and Acid Reflux.

I had only been able to walk up stairs one at a time since 1995 and had become resigned that I would never walk up them as I once had. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis when I was 11 and was told I would be in a wheelchair before I was 40. Well I am 45 and not in a wheelchair yet, but I have been taking Arthritis medicine for many years.

After taking the Coral Calcium for only 2 days I could sit crossed legged again and that was just a faded memory. I sat down to talk to my husband one night after work and noticed that I was sitting cross legged and I was overcome with joy. The next day I went to visit my mother and I climbed the stairs as I once had. I just couldn't believe the changes.

Also my knee had been numb since surgery in 1996 and it is no longer numb! What a surprise to wake up and find that I had feeling in my knee.

I also had developed Arthritis in my hip due to the over compensation for my bad knee. My hip no longer bothers me. My doctor had recommend Glucosomine for the Arthritis and the Coral Calcium has benefited my Arthritis more than the Glucosomine ever did.

There are so many benefits that I am finding as I continue to take the calcium. I have only been taking the calcium now for 2 months.

This is a product that I plan on using for the rest of my life. Thanks so much for carrying this product.

Anxiety Gone

 
I have been taking Coral Calcium for only about 5 days, but almost immediately I noticed a benefit I hadn't anticipated. My anxiety is gone. I had suffered with anxiety for years, sometimes it has been debilitating. For the last couple of years I had fought it back and quit taking any medication for it, but it was always there. Since taking the coral calcium, I have deliberately tried to create the anxiety by drinking large amounts of caffeine, just to see if this was for real. Well, it is real. I don't feel anxious and it's wonderful!!!! My husband also noticed a lack of feeling stressed out at work since he started taking the coral calcium. Thanks.

A Cute Brotherly Letter we can't resist sharing


Dan, This is your "No BS" brother Darrell typing to you. I am going through a "cellular revival" (my term) of sorts.

A friend told me about this stuff called Coral Calcium and it's effects within his body. I took his testimonial with a grain of "salt." ;-) I actually saw him go from a lethargic dragging-his-arse-around kind of person to one of ameliorated energy and inquiry. He attributes his "revival" to Coral Calcium.

For 6 months, I used to balance the Ph at a ranch's swimming pool and jacuzzi and never once thought of the balancing my own Ph. Any way, I bought some, not from him, but on the Internet and I too am being rejuvenated. I too am less lethargic. I am feeling really great inside both body and mind. I feel like I am being born again, so to speak. ;-) Even my dreams are picking up. Before this discovery, they were slow and usually involved one or two persons. Now, I have high sleeping neurological activity that involves a whole city of people and places and adventures. This has taken place after only 4 days of 2-times-a-day consumption.

Ok Dan, I am not sellin ya, I'm just tellin ya. I'm excited about this. For me, this is great stuff. Check it out big brother.

2. Keep Yourself "Unleaded" with Coral Calcium  
 
 
 

There are hundreds of reasons for taking your coral calcium supplement - and now there is one more. An article in the highly regarded Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests another important reason to get adequate calcium, especially for the elderly.

I refer to the Robert P. Heaney, MD article called "Lead in Calcium Supplements - Cause for Alarm or Celebration? " which I quote in part below.


"Lead is an element that everyone can safely be against. Lead causes anemia, hypertension, brain and kidney damage, and in children stunts growth and causes permanent cognitive impairment and increased aggressive behavior. For human health, lead clearly causes harm and does no good.
 
Ironically, virtually all the lead in the environment is there as a result of human activity. Under premetallurgical conditions, lead in the earth's crust was locked safely away in deep ore deposits. As technology advanced, lead was mined and smelted and was a workable and useful metal, finding its way into such diverse applications as Roman water conduits, medieval cathedral roof sheathing, fine crystal, paints with a superior covering characteristic, solders, antiknock compounds for automotive fuels, and, of course, ammunition-ammunition by the countless ton over the last several hundred years. All that lead was transferred through human activity, from deep ore deposits to the superficial layers of the earth's crust in which food is grown.
 
Because of recent awareness of the dangers posed by lead, lead-based paints and leaded gasoline have been eliminated in the United States, producing a substantial reduction in daily exposure. Blood lead levels in the US population have declined by as much as 80% or more in the past 25 years.
 
The aggregate national effort at reducing lead from environmental sources has been so effective that one of the principal sources of lead for most North American adults, particularly the elderly, is their own skeletons, which have sequestered most of the lead absorbed over a lifetime of high exposure. Because this lead is already in the body, there is no blocking its absorption, as with orally ingested lead.
 
Dietary calcium utilization efficiency declines with age, and the bodies of the elderly turn increasingly to bone for the calcium they need to offset daily losses. That is the reason recommended calcium intakes increase with age, and the reason low calcium intakes contribute to skeletal fragility. While this skeletal mobilization provides the calcium the elderly need (although at a skeletal cost), it also doses them with lead, which was not harming them as long as it was locked up in bone, but which is now introduced into the bloodstream. Exactly how much harm that released lead could do in its own right is unclear.
 
Bogden et al argue for widespread calcium fortification and supplementation of the human diet, precisely to keep bone lead locked away. Certainly, if older adults were to avoid calcium supplements of whatever sort or for whatever reason, their blood lead levels would increase both because of increased absorption of currently ingested lead from food sources and because of increased release of sequestered skeletal lead."

In other words, Dr Heaney, is saying calcium in your bloodstream is essential for life. If you do not supply your bloodstream with calcium from your diet, your body takes the calcium from your bones. You and I understand, this is how osteoporosis occurs, but we probably didn't know that along with removing the calcium from your bones, the lead which has built up over the years is also released into the bloodstream. In other words, taking Coral Calcium regularly will help keep your lead locked up in your bones where it is safer than in your bloodstream.

3. Keep Drinking that Tea - it may help Osteoporosis  
 
 
 

If you are like me, you feel like every time you find something you like to eat or drink, you end up learning it is bad for you. Well, if you like good old-fashioned tea, there is good news. An Asian study shows bone Mineral Density in Habitual Tea Drinkers is higher. Here is a summary of the study for you. Pour yourself a nice cup of tea and drink it in!

Background Researchers have hypothesized that bone mineral density (BMD) may be influenced by chemical compounds such as caffeine, phytoestrogen, fluoride, and many compounds that are contained in tea extracts. Hence, the relationship between habitual tea consumption and BMD is an interesting issue.

Methods Based on an epidemiological survey, we enrolled 497 men and 540 women, 30 years and older, in our study. All subjects were questioned about their habit of tea consumption and other lifestyle characteristics by means of a structured questionnaire. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the BMD of the total body, lumbar spine (L1-L4), hip neck, and Ward triangle regions.

Results Five hundred two subjects (48.4%) were habitual tea drinkers, with a mean duration of tea consumption of approximately 10 years. Compared with nonhabitual tea drinkers, subjects with habitual tea consumption of 6 to 10 years showed higher lumbar spine BMDs, and those with consumption of more than 10 years showed the highest BMDs of all measured regions. Under the multiple stepwise regression models, sex, age, body mass index, total physical activity, and habit of tea consumption were the major significant variables for the different BMD regions. Regarding the behavioral characteristics of tea consumption, the duration of tea consumption was the only independent determinant for the BMDs.

Conclusion Habitual tea consumption, especially for more than 10 years, has significant beneficial effects on BMD of the total body, lumbar spine, and hip regions in adults.

4. Q & A:  
 
 
 
1. Why have we chosen to market the fossilized Coral Calcium? How does it compare to the "Marine" variety?
  TrueBlue™ can actually purchase "Marine" coral at a lower cost, but has chosen the more expensive "fossilized" product for several qualitative reasons. First, fossilized coral is pure Coral. The marine coral is vacuumed through a 12" pipe. It is impossible to vacuum up coral from the ocean bottom without including sand and debris which necessitates heat processing. The heat processing causes the calcium crystal to change from an Aragonite form into a Calcite form which is measurably less soluble in water and hence less bio-available for human use.

Second, TrueBlue™ prefers fossilized coral because it is ecologically safe - no damage to sensitive ocean ecosystems. The product's success after marketing to health professionals, pharmacies and health retail stores in Canada for about 3 years is truly extraordinary.

 
2. Does Coral Calcium help with Hiatal Hernia, Acid Reflux and Heart Burn?
  Dr Bob Owen, Ph.D., D.Sc, answers this well in his book, "Why Calcium?" He says "A low or acidic stomach pH characterizes practically all hiatal hernia sufferers. One cause of a hiatal hernia is insufficient stomach hydrochloric acid. Without proper amounts of HCL, digestion is incomplete causing a protein meal to putrify or a fruit meal to ferment. Either condition produces gas which forces the neck of the stomach up and through the diaphragm. The so-called "heart burn" felt by hiatal hernia sufferers is caused when stomach acid is forced up into the esophagus, whose tissues are not equipped to handle stomach acid. Stony Coral Calcium helps alkalinize the stomach, which helps food to digest." When food is properly digested, the gases causing acid reflux / heart burn / hiatal hernia are no longer emitted. We suggest taking 1 capsule a half hour before your meal if you suffer from this problem. Let us know how it goes for you.
 
3. I hear that Calcium Supplements often have some lead content. What is the level found in our Coral Calcium?
  TrueBlue™ coral is fossilized and about 20 million years old - so it actually predates man's pollution unlike the varieties that are vacuumed from the ocean bottom. Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory upon arrival from Okinawa and our levels are better than the strictest requirements in the world - that of the State of California. California Proposition 65 allows .50 PPM and ours is at .09 PPM. You undoubtedly have higher levels in the air you breathe if you live in a city.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Abandoned Due to Cancer Risk

The National Institute of Health has just announced the early discontinuation of a clinical trial that explored the long-term effects of treatment with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). To briefly summarize, the rationale for discontinuation of the trial was that the increased risk of breast cancer while on HRT outweighed the benefits of the therapy in the mind of the investigators.

A World Health Organization (WHO) press release of October 1999 noted "the number of hip fractures worldwide due to osteoporosis is expected to rise three-fold by the middle of next century, from 1.7 million in 1990 to 6.3 million in 2050...annual direct medical costs to treat 2.3 million osteoporosis fractures in Europe and in the USA come up to US 27 Billion. WHO's recommendations to the general public include a balanced diet providing intake of at least 800-1500 mg calcium per day in children and adults".
