Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I've noticed a lot of comments on the bone mineral loss prevelent in MS. My BMD tests were showing bone loss despite my use of KAL brand calcium/magnesium tablets. So I switched to a " whole food " form of calcium, known as Coral Calcium. I buy the 8 oz. powder form, as tablet forms may not be as effective. I believe that the process of making a tablet destroys the enzymes as it is subjected to a flash of heat as it is being compressed into a tablet form. Hence I use a powder form. Since I started this supplement my BMD has shown improvement. The form I use comes from Ancient Widsom in Simi Valley Ca. It can be obtained at wholesale price ($40.00/8 oz.) if one states they were referred by Diamond. There is no tax unless you live in CA. Can be ordered at: 1-888-407-0448. I'm sure there may be other sources, this is just the one I used, and benefited from. Cat Brown, LMSW PPMS 20 years 3 mg LDN 5 mos. Take charge of your health!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Ive been on coral calcium that comes in a " tea bag " and you put it in 1 liter of water and drink that throughout the day. It was very expensive and after being on it for months, went and had a bone scan, only to find out I'm rapidly loosing bone. Have been on various excellent brands of coral calcium powder and none of them have helped at all. I do take vit D3 daily as well and am trying to eat as much green leafy veggis as possible. Will try to and add boron to my " brew " to see if that helps. Thanks to everyone for all this info. My Mom and grandmother both have had severe osteoporosis and both hunched over quite a bit in their later years. Want to avoid, if possible doing the same.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 HI VALI, I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO EITHER AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING LIKE A KNOW IT ALL BUT I FIGURE IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO RAISE DOUBT CONCERNING A PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE HEARD SO MUCH NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON IT AND RISK UPSETTING A FEW TO PERHAPS HELP MANY. HOPE YOU ARE FEELING WELL. KATHY Re: Coral calcium I DON'T WANT TO DISCOURAGE YOU BUT I READ MANY PLACES THAT THE CORAL CALCIUM IS ALL HYPE. IT MAY NOT BE TRUE BUT THE OKINOWANS ( DID I SAY THAT CORRECTLY) HAD A WONDERFUL DIET WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR LACK OF DIS-EASE AND LONGEVITY. WHY DON'T YOU TRY A BONE BUILDING FORMULA AND WHATEVER RESISTANCE TYPE ACTIVITY YOU CAN MUNSTER UP THE STRENGTH FOR? IF YOU CAN LIFT SMALL WEIGHTS, IT WILL REALLY HELP.HERE IS A FORMULA THAT IS GOOD- OSTEO-GEST CALL 800-645-9909. IT IS ONLY 12.00 FOR 180 CAPSULES. IT HAS VIT. D AND K-1 WITH BORON, SILICA, MAG, CAL, MAGANESE AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED SYNERGISTICALLY FOR BONE HEALTH! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
