taking 700 mg calcium and 900 magnesium daily (in 2 doses) was

mainly because of (medium) osteoporosis in my lower back and

osteopenia in my neck (also because of beginning of osteoarthritis

in my right hip). The tests I took several months ago showed these

results.

> Question: In view of these results, should I still lower my intake

to 350 mg calcium and 450 magnesium?

==>Yes, that is usually enough cal/mag along with the diet and other

supplements I recommend. Way too much is recommended by doctors and

other health practitioners even to help osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Cod liver oil protein, ocean sea salt, plenty of nature-made fats,

etc. helps your body utilize minerals. I have osteoporosis too

(mainly because I do not have a thyroid) and I take 175 mg calcium

and 450 mg magnesium. If I take more calcium my lower back starts

to hurt. Some days I take 150 mg more of magnesium.

==>Remember that Stefansson and his friend went on the all meat and

fat diet (25% meat; 75% fat) under medical supervision for 1 year

and they had no signs of lacking calcium, and they did not take any

supplements.

You are so welcome Fran!

Luv, Bee

** That is so very interesting! I'm game; I'll try this lower amount of

cal/mag! :- )

Thanks for all this great info!
