Phil Bate PhD asked:




If you pay attention to the various misleading ads in the media, you are probably aware that calcium is not only important to health, but it’s critical to women to avoid osteoporosis as they age. Playing on fear about health is one way to sell things. There’s a little truth in those ads, but not much, as the whole truth doesn’t sell the product. Let’s look at the whole story.

In order to change calcium from blood calcium into bone calcium takes a complex chemical change requiring several chemical catalysts in lots of steps. In the body, these chemical catalysts are actually enzymes, and each of these steps requires a particular enzyme to do this job. Enzymes are basically protein – differing combinations of amino acids – along with a vitamin or a mineral as well.

This means that if you are short in any vitamin or mineral or particular amino acid required for this complex process, at any step in the process, it may not happen. Thus, you don’t just need lots of calcium, but you also have to have every vitamin and mineral needed at each step in this complex process. And, to complicate it further, your ability to digest foods changes as you age.

One of the most used minerals in enzyme making is magnesium, and it is also used in the body to “balance” the calcium. The ideal balance is about 2/1, and that’s what most nutritionists recommend as a supplement. (I used to do the same.) Calcium and magnesium also make
up the “battery” the powers the heart, and these two minerals are ones required in the largest amounts of all.

Surprisingly enough, most people in our culture of milk, cheese, and ice cream etc get plenty of calcium. It’s rare for a real calcium deficiency in an individual, although it certainly is possible. What is much more probable is that a magnesium deficiency is present, and the top priority (triage in doctorese) of the body is keeping the heart beating, along with all the other enzymes necessary that need magnesium (over 6000 at last count) . Making bone just isn’t that high on the priority scale.

A common result is that we wind up with much more calcium than magnesium for good balance. So, what happens to the excess calcium?

1. The body tries to take it out the kidney/urine pathway, but without enough vitamin C to make it water soluble, it might cause kidney stones. (There’s absolutely no truth to the idea that too much vitamin C causes kidney stones. The opposite is actually true.)

2. Excess calcium may be deposited in bone spurs or cysts in various spots on the skeleton. Arthritis and back problems are often to due to this.

3. It can also be deposited in lungs, breasts and other various body tissues, causing calcareous spots on x-rays in these areas. Sarcoidosis is a possible lung problem.

4. Calcium is the “backbone” of plaque found in blood vessels, and on teeth. Remove excess calcium and these problems lessen. Another way that vitamin C helps health.

Where is magnesium found, and why do we not get enough? One of the prime sources of magnesium is green vegetables. I hate them, from early childhood, and as a result, I have been plagued with bone spurs, cysts, and back problems. (They taste extremely bitter to me for no good reason). Vegetables are excellent for health in three ways – fiber, magnesium and folic acid.

Much of the water in the world flows thru limestone (dolomite) which is mostly composed of a 2/1 mix of calcium and magnesium. This makes the local water in many areas “hard”, because the soft dolomite is dissolved into the water as calcium and magnesium carbonate. Many local water systems are so loaded with this “hard” water that they have to use an ion exchange system to wash clothes. (Along with various other minerals found locally – but that’s another issue).

By the way, drinking “hard” water is actually better for you. The ion exchange method of “softening” water exchanges sodium ions for the calcium and magnesium ions. This adds sodium to the water, usually not very good for persons with heart problems.)

So, a BALANCE between magnesium and calcium is required. How can you, as an individual different in many ways than anyone else, obtain that balance?

1. Make sure you take sufficient vitamin C to help get rid of excess calcium. I recommend and take 4 grams per day (4000 mg) in two doses 2 grams in AM, and 2 in PM.

2. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, and take a good vitamin/mineral supplement. (Better than those cheap once daily types.)

3. This is a bit tricky – How much milk product do you consume every day? These only have calcium so you have to supplement with magnesium to keep the balance. A hair mineral analysis (not very accurate, but it will show balance) may help.

There are a few useful symptoms that may help:

1. Do you have bone spurs, kidney stones, calcareous cysts or spots, etc? If so, you have or have had excess calcium. More vitamin C will gradually take this out.

2. How about cramps? They are a very useful symptom of either a shortage of calcium or magnesium. You have to decide which. Look at your recent diet for few days or weeks.

3. How fast are your hair and your fingernails growing? Hair and fingernails are pretty good indicators for most people. It is an often overlooked excretion route, and both use calcium. If very fast, perhaps you have too much calcium. If very slow, perhaps too little.

YOUR nutrition needs are somewhat different from everyone else. You uptake vitamins and minerals at least somewhat differently, even from those in your immediate family. This idea of INDIVIDUALITY is very important and needs to be more fully understood.

Very few enlightened persons in our culture get enough Vitamin C. The RDA is a joke, and while 75 mg will prevent outright scurvy, it just isn’t enough for good health in this polluted world. (By the way, the zoo vets know that a 150 lb ape requires a minimum of 4000 mg (4 grams) of Vitamin C per day, and our body requirements are exactly the same.)

Oh, also by the way, don’t fall for the hype in the health food stores. Any source of calcium or magnesium works. The cheapest forms work almost as well as the most expensive. (Another myth, dolomite does NOT contain lead, and if you want a 2/1 mix, it works well.)

Medical opinion is divided on how best to treat Plantar Fasciitis and in my case I tried just about everything available.

First off you need to understand that plantar tissue, like ligament tissue, can take a very long time to heal. It really can be a long job, in my case just over a year.

It goes without saying that you should rest the foot as much as you can. Avoid running and any excessive walking. Some specialised gentle exercises may be beneficial and I shall cover that in another article.

I have already mentioned in my previous article the importance of wearing and maintaining good quality footwear. If all your shoes are getting old and worn, no matter how much you may love them, it is time to trash them and treat yourself to new ones. Yes, I know that footwear can be very expensive, but this is most important. Wear good shoes. Choose footwear with cushioned heels and good arch support. I was also recommended to buy gel heel inserts and I did and I believe they helped. Laced shoes rather than slip-ons or sandals are also preferable.

Painkillers have an important part to play, though I think that the pain is so sharp and so severe that there isn’t a painkiller invented that will deal with it. My doctors told me to take as many painkillers as I needed and I took them at their word and eventually that caused me health problems of a totally different kind. Be careful that you don’t mix the type of painkillers you use and don’t overdose on them.

My problem took months to improve and the doctor eventually suggested cortisone injections, adding: These are some of the most painful injections you can have and often make little or no difference. Presented with that scenario I decided against thank you, but injections and yours truly have never been happy bedfellows. You may think differently, especially if the pain persists.

If the problem simply won’t go away your GP may suggest surgery. Again, this can be very painful afterwards, and there is absolutely no guarantee of success and most people would say that this should be considered as a last resort.

Given time the pain should alleviate and disappear. It did with me eventually, thank goodness, though I know that is no consolation for those suffering from PF.

The Bone Health Revolution
by Vivian Goldschmidt

Recently my good friend Chris called to say her mom’s latest Bone scan revealed quite a bit of bone loss since her last test and the doc wanted to put her on osteoporosis meds.

This made Chris uncomfortable and she called to ask what, if anything I knew about these drugs, their efficacy, side effects and possible alternatives. My limited research after my own diagnosis of osteopenia a few years ago–a non-disease created to sell more drugs I’m convinced–led me to believe that the drugs were not a good choice and that there were many things to do first to strengthen bones naturally.

I fumbled through some of that I knew but told Chris I’d get back to her after getting my research updated and together. Meanwhile she found this month’s book.

The author Vivian Goldschmidt, has written a book I wish I’d penned.

Chris was correct, the book is a gold mine of the latest information on osteoporosis, osteopenia, and the drugs big Pharma would have us take to slow down this “disease”. Dirty little secret–osteoporosis is not a disease at all simply a function of aging. It is not inevitable and does not need dangerous drugs to prevent, reverse or slow it down. It can be slowed and reversed using diet, supplements, and exercise.

Did you know that the mean against which our middle aged bones are compared for their “health” is 20 – 29 year old women? As Vivian asked, “Are women expected to keep their bone density unchanged as they grow older?” How can we ever hope to have a “normal” bone density score as compared to women who are at their peak of bone health?

Not to mention that bone density–the characteristic of our bones being tested for–is not the best indicator of healthy bones, bone flexibility and strength is.
Bone loss associated with aging is normal, bone strength and resilience is what we should work towards.

Here are some bullet points Vivian covers in detail in her book:
# Osteoporosis is not a disease but actually it’s the body trying to correct an imbalance. And there’s one simple thing you can do to correct this imbalance.

# Osteoporosis is not inevitable. Anyone can easily prevent and reverse it without taking drugs. Actually, a 2006 report by the Mayo Clinic says that over 37% of women older than 50 don’t meet the true criteria of Osteoporosis and are wrongfully diagnosed! Are you one of them?

# The active ingredient in prescription Osteoporosis drugs (Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva) is a bisphosphonate. That’s just a fancy name for a common ingredient used in laundry detergents, fertilizers, and industrial lubricants. Would you put those in your body?

This is not fear mongering nor is it an anti-pharmaceutical rant. It is comprehensive research presented in lay person’s language. Vivian started on this quest when she was diagnosed was osteoporosis some years ago and given Fosamax by her doctor. Her science background-she has a degree in nutrition from New York University–and scientist’s curiosity drove her to research this so called disease and the “cures” being given liberally by many well-meaning docs.

What she found was shocking and she felt she had to write about it and help other women avoid the potentially life threatening–at the very least quality of life damaging–side effects of Big Pharma’s answer to this “problem.

“According to a recent article by Consumer Affairs (February 2007), Merck, the maker of Fosamax, has put aside $48 million to set up a defense fund for lawsuits related to the debilitating side-effects of Fosamax. Does Merck know something that the general public doesn’t?

Caveat: Vivian does not say that drugs like Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva do not harden bones. They do; it’s their ingredients, their side effects, and what we don’t know that encourages us to look for alternatives. And what we don’t yet know is whether the action of these bone building drugs will actually increase density but limit or prevent new bone formation which is more flexible and therefore less prone to fracture than old brittle bones.

If you have been diagnosed with either osteoporosis or osteopenia I encourage you to buy the book and try natural alternatives before a drug protacol. I can’t recommend this book enough.
