The calcium Lie - why calcium can destroy your health, including your bones

Please take a few minutes to watch this video by Dr Robert Thompson then read some of the many articles I have written over the years about issues to do with calcium and diseases like osteoporosis.  

Here is the link to some of them:

For about 80% of the people who consult me about chronic health problems, reducing dietary intake of calcium will improve their health!

Dr Thompson refers to mineral analysis HTMA).  I like him because he uses the very same laboratory as me for mineral analysis and has come to the conclusion I have about calcium and health.  It was this test that opened his eyes and what motivated him to write the book.  This is the test he refers to:

I have a limited number of his book "The Calcium Lie" here for $30 (contact me directly if you want a copy).  I have these available for my clients because it helps explain the value of the HTMA for guiding the journey back to good health.

So why do our tendons turn into bone? Calcific Tendonitis

"First off, Tendons DO NOT turn to bone.

They can become tough, brittle, hard, like a dry crunchy sponge instead of a soft squishy sponge. They can become HARD, but they don't turn to bone."

Calcification of tissues, including tendons, is a problem that I encounter almost daily. When palpating the tendons and muscles, you can feel the hardening of the texture. Healthy muscles and tendons are flexible and pliable.

The Tendonitis Expert is onto the solution - limiting calcium intake, increasing magnesium, reducing inflammation and deep tissue massage.

How much calcium and how much magnesium is enough?

This is not a straight forward answer because it may be as much to do with imbalance as to do with excess. Some of us need more calcium, others less and some of us need more magnesium and some less. Blood tests are not accurate because they only tell us what is happening in the blood that day; whereas we want to know what is going on inside the cells day-to-day. A hair tissue mineral analysis, performed in a licenced laboratory using modern mass spectometry gives us an accurate insight of the inner workings of your cells.

If you want to get this done for yourself, contact me and I will send you details of how to go about getting a hair tissue mineral analysis, plus a hair collection envelope and clinic form. Or you can go here and order an Interclinical Laboratories Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.

Is there a link between calcium and diseases like osteoporosis, dementia and gall stones?

When it comes to nutrition, perhaps the biggest blunder we have made, as a society, is to allow commercial interests, principally the pharmaceutical and food industries, to tell us what is best for us.

When exploring 3rd World countries, like Samoa and Vanuatu, what really strikes me is the wonderful bone structures of the natives and almost complete freedom from arthritis despite the near complete absence of dairy. In fact, their diets appear to be lacking calcium! How can it be that these people have such strong bones?

How can it also be that New Zealand, which is awash with milk, has a so-called "osteoporosis epidemic"?

The dairy industry has milkwashed New Zealanders and just about everyone else on the planet, that we need more and more calcium in our diets, via milk, for strong bones. Big Pharma has jumped in on the act, developing the Dexa Scan to terrorise women into taking bone destroying bisphosphenate drugs, sacrificing their health in the process.

For the last ten years I have been testing the mineral status of people and the results are consistently telling me that most New Zealanders are too overloaded with calcium relative to other minerals that are found in our cells.

Please refer to the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis charts to the left.

What these consistently show is calcium is too high relative to magnesium, potassium and most other minerals for at least half of the people tested - men and women.

Too much calcium relative to other minerals drives the development of osteoporosis and the deposition of calcium into the soft tissues of the body, including the blood vessels.

The deposition of calcium into the soft tissues is the leading cause of arteriosclerosis which leads to high blood pressure, dementia and other ailments, including gall stones, bone spurs and kidney stones.


In addition to osteoporosis, New Zealand has a serious problem with diseases of dementia - and gall bladders are being whipped out here, there and everywhere because of gall stones.

Is this hardly surprising these are on the increase, given the over supply of calcium and not much of anything else? Is it hardly a surprise, as well, that there is not a lot more publicity about this troubling coincidence?
