Arthritis Pain

Thank you for the chance to test your above sea level coral calcium. I used Robert Barefoot's marine coral with positive and negative affects. It helped a great deal with my arthritis, and it was helping my son with his asthma. Unfortunately, it gave us serious migraine headaches and stomach pains. I'm happy to say that they did refund my money. Your product has given me no problems, my Ph level is high and I have NO arthritis pain! Thank you much!

Insomnia during Pregnancy

I am 9 months pregnant and started taking Coral Calcium about 3 months ago. This is our 3rd child, and I have suffered with extreme insomnia with all 3 pregnancies (waking up and unable to fall back to sleep for 3 hours each night.) With having a 3 yr old and 5 yr old I was unable to "sleep in" to make up for the loss of sleep. This was, needless to say, a debilitating pattern.

Then I heard about coral calcium. I knew about the benefits of calcium before, but the more I researched coral calcium, the more I became convinced that this is what I needed to do for my family. Well, when the bottle came I started off taking the recommended 2-3 capsules. One night on a whim, I decided to double it to 5 capsules, since I am pregnant. Do you know what? I slept through the night and have had only 2 nights of insomnia in the last 3 months!(One night I forgot to take my calcium.) My OB/GYN doctor has been the same for all 3 pregnancies, and he knows that I have struggled with this for all.

Insomnia is apparently a common problem among women during pregnancy. The "prescribed" antidote is to take Benedryl every night so that you're so groggy you'll sleep. The only problem is the hang-over feeling the next day. So that never has been a feasible option for me. When I told my OB that I was taking coral calcium and that it had cured my insomnia, he was amazed. You see, he has made it pretty clear in the past that he doesn't see much value in vitamins. Consequently, I have since given some to my friend who is also pregnant and was suffering from insomnia. Not anymore! I am amazed and now convinced of the power and effectiveness of coral calcium. Thank you for your service to our family and all the families you help by making coral calcium available.

Sprained Ankle

I originally started using Herbalab Coral Calcium (now True Blue) about 5 months ago for general wellness. I had badly sprained my ankle 9 months earlier and had some residual pain and swelling. After a month of the Coral Calcium, the swelling went away and the pain was totally gone. Two months ago I did the same thing to the other ankle and was only sidelined for 2 weeks...I couldn't believe how quickly I recovered.

Fibromyalgia, Systemic Lupus, and, Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Okay... I've been taking Coral Calcium for about four months and YES!!! it WORKS!

I am a 45 year-old woman, working in a professional capacity as a program manager outside of the home, and I have been debilitated by Fibromyalgia, Systemic Lupus, and, Irritable Bowel Syndrome for most of my life.

I added coral calcium to a carrot juice drink jazzed up with Green Food; Bee Pollen and Beet Powder, and, while the results were gradual, the results kept getting better and better.

No BRAIN FOG!!! I can go shopping, balance my check book, remember to pay bills, make long-range plans... I was able to take my daughter shopping for her prom dress without being overwhelmed. I could focus on her rather than on being so tired and ragged out. That in and of itself is a GIFT!!!

My hair is growing back in and I have stronger nails; (no peeling, chipping, or splitting).

This past Memorial Day three-day weekend I did the following:

(1) Saturday I spent all day walking around at a convention center over an hour away from my house in a large city. I drove both ways!

(2) Sunday I did five loads of laundry, performed seasonal maintenance on our hot tub, and, BBQ'ed dinner for my family.

(3) Yesterday I spent several hours on the roof of my house cleaning out four years of accumulated leaves from my gutters. I also cut back several tree limbs over-hanging the house.

Despite all of the hands-on work I did over the weekend, my nails look pretty good!

Rather than being flat on my back today (Day 4), all I needed to do was "take a mental health day, so I could sleep late and finish up the chores I didn't get to over the weekend!!!

I still get muscle soreness, but it isn't usually debilitating. I still get *really* tired, but, because I sleep so deeply, after a good nine hours of sleep, I'm ready to go.

I still have flares of Irritable Bowel, but, usually a few anti-spasmodics over a two day period fixes that right up.

Finally, I have the energy to exercise. While I'm tired after working all day, I *can* make myself use my rowing machine for 25 minutes without stopping and burn up to 400 calories! (As long as I'm not too busy running errands!!!) Wooo Hoooo!!!!

CORAL CALCIUM IS DIFFERENT!!! I thank you and my family thanks you!!!

FTC Lawsuit and Damning consumer report hit Robert Barefoot This Week!

Well, it finally happened. As we have been predicting ever since we first saw his infomercial a year ago, Mr. Barefoot's exaggerations, have gotten him into trouble.

The FTC on June 9th, with the cooperation of the FDA has filed a lawsuit against Robert Barefoot, Kevin Trudeau and companies that manufacture Coral Calcium Supreme for "making false and unsubstantiated health and medical claims". The courts will determine if his claims that "calcium can treat or cure cancer, multiple sclerosis and heart disease have violated the FTC act". More than two dozen web sites have received FDA warnings about making medical claims about coral calcium. You can see view the FTC's comments at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/06/trudeau.htm

Just one day later, Consumerlab LLC, a company dedicated to testing health products has released a test on 15 popular Calcium products naming Bob Barefoot's 'Coral Calcium Supreme' as having excessive lead content. They tested the products for the labeled amount of calcium, for disintegration of the tablet, and for lead. 3 of the 15 products failed in at least one of the areas - one of them happened to be 'Coral Calcium Supreme'. It should be noted that an above-sea coral calcium product passed the test. TrueBlueTM was not tested, but will easily pass as proven in our own repeated Lab analysis. The Consumerlab Calcium Products test can be found at http://www.consumerlab.com/results/calcium.asp

The media is expected to sensationalize this and we are concerned that all people will hear is "coral calcium has lead" and "lawsuits against coral" and see the whole coral industry in a poor light.

If you see the media reports, please remember:

*	Coral Calcium Supreme is Marine Coral from Below Sea. We have been warning about the purity of this coral source for over a year. Above-sea coral is ancient coral beds that were pushed above sea long before man polluted the bottom of the ocean and hence free of lead.
*	Each batch of TrueBlueTM coral calcium is tested by Western Labs for lead and other contaminants upon arrival from Okinawa. Many companies including CFU Distribution have avoided extravagant medical claims regarding their coral and hence have never received an FDA warning. It is a mistake to include all coral companies in the allegations against one bad apple - in every industry there are a few that push the limits.
*	CFU Distribution has respectfully disagreed with Robert Barefoot on several issues. See our web site www.cures4you.net/coralwhich.htm
*	Coral Calcium in general is in our opinion the best calcium and mineral supplement on the market today. Coral Calcium has been recognized and approved by Health Canada which is recognized as one of the strictest regulatory authorities in the world as a fully compliant mineral supplement (DIN 022 4688). Coral has offered far reaching benefits to millions of customers for 9 years in America. The overwhelming number of comments we continually receive is gratifying. View our Testimonials

Remember it is in the Media's best interest to stir emotions and create more viewers. As the old saying goes "don't throw the baby out with the bath water"! One bad batch from one questionable company does not mean all coral is contaminated.

Q & A:


Q	I developed a cough after taking coral for a week. Is it related?
A	There is only one way to find out if any symptom is related to your coral consumption. Stop taking it for a week, then re-introduce it. If your cough follows that same pattern, it is the coral (very unlikely).
Q	Is TrueBlue safe to take during pregnancy?
A	At this time there is no scientific data to support the safety of coral calcium for use in pregnant women or infants, nor is there any indication we are aware of that there is any harm being caused. Sorry that we do not have better information for you on this subject, but this product is relatively new so there is little science currently.
Q	Coral Calcium Supreme has a high lead content. How can I know that TrueBlue is safe?
A	We have been warning about the purity of Coral Calcium Supreme for some time and taunting the web promoters of it to post a Certificate of Analysis by a third party laboratory as we do. They have never posted it so we assumed they had something to hide. Every few months we receive a new shipment of coral from Okinawa. When it arrives, the first thing we do is send samples to Western Laboratories for an analysis. Then, when we see that there are no impurities, it goes to manufacturing at an FDA certified plant where it is tested again and it is encapsulated and bottled. Lab analysis is the only way to ascertain safety.
